TANKA OF BELONGING
–
Alan on crutches,
We both know putting feet up…
Feeling uselessness!
Keep feet higher than the heart
Buoyed by the nursing care!
–J.E.C.
–
Still being wanted
Working at this company
A nice tear-jerker!
Tears of joy and gratitude
And water over the dam!
–J.E.C.
–
One man on duty
(No women Security)
Able to watch grounds.
I cannot walk the patrol,
My cane is not optional!
–J.E.C.
–
Black olives are in…***
He hasn’t said anything,
Gotten away with-?
Not seeing his reaction
Misses the point of the joke.
–Jonathan Caswell
