SONNET

Like wine grown stale, the street-lamp's pallor seeks
The wilted anger of her scarlet lips,
And bitter, evanescent finger-tips
Of unsaid questions play upon her cheeks.
She sways a little, and her tired breath,
Fumbling at the crucifix of her mind,
Draws out the aged nails, now dull and kind,
That once were sharp loves hardening in their death.
And so a dumb joy tips her sudden smiles
At passing men who eye her wonderingly
And hurry on because her face is old.
They merely think her clumsy in her wiles:
They know not that her face is dizzily
At rest because old memories have grown cold.
Maxwell Bodenheim/ The Dial

In the Jailhouse Now
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
They've got him in the jailhouse way down town
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now

Yodel...

Bob like to play his poker, peaknuckle whist and euchre
But shooting dice was his favourite game
Well he got throw'd in jail, with nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he refused a fine
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice stop playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now

Yodel...

I went out last Tuesday I met a gal named Susie
I said I was the swellest guy around
We started to spend my money
And she started to call me honey
We took in every cabaret in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
I told that judge right to his face
I don't like to see this place
We're in the jailhouse now

Bonus Poem:

Cobweb Collector

She was my escape.
The breath into my lungs.
That aeroplane that takes me to the exotic.
On a summers day, the refreshing rain.
My beautiful medicator. Savior to the pain.
The religion I can place my faith in.
My heart just a canvas.
Her love splashed me a new colour every smile.
Asking myself how did I survive before?
The message in a bottle on a deserted shore.
I am the vintage vinyl record in the attic,
that slowly lures dust after being forgotten.
Just call me the cobweb collector.
The vinyl she swore she would never grow tired of,
now sits alone, in the 3 storey house,
she and her husband grew fond of.
