Some Short Poems: "The Cake", etc.

    Poetry:  "The Cake"
    55 minutes give or take/ In the oven set on bake/ An hour later you get a cake/ That'll float upon a lake/ It isn't phony. It isn't fake./ It can be quite fun to make./ It makes your belly quake and shake./ Like a drug, it's hard to take/And they can serve it at your wake.
     Your final rest./ Your Sunday best./ That's how you're dressed./ Laid outt in your coffin./ Live life with zest/ Ere your final rest at Fate's behest.

"The Great White"
     In waters of Australia a diver's in a cage/ Before he knows what happens a Great White shows his rage./ I'm sure the fellow thought right then, "Why do I dive?"/ One thing he knows for sure he's lucky he's alive.

"Rusty Blade"  In the shade, there's a rusty blade,/so watch out where you tread./ If you're there at the wrong time you could wind up dead./ This could merely be a dream while you are in bed./ If it's not, the way you feel is justify-ed dread.

  A few untitled poetry fragments:
       Addictions/ afflictions/ mouths to feed/ drudging for money/ for all that you need... (to be cont'd??)

       At the top of the Food Chain you hunt to survive./ Eat your prey and stay alive... (to be cont'd??)
