Proportion
What if my feet, though average in size
should look like plates beneath my tiny frame?
Ought I wear skirts to hide my clownish shame
or exercise to gain more powerful thighs?
Perhaps long shoes with daggers in their tips
will emphasise the swagger of my hips.
_______
Rotation
While walking with her dog a woman saw
a cat drive past in a Mercedes Benz.
The dog gave chase. It wanted to be friends
but fell beneath its wheels and chased no more.
The woman claimed insurance from the cat
and bought a wheel to exercise her rat.
_____
Salvation
What price the world when blue skies are no more?
When man-made mist casts shadow on the sun,
to modify the damage we have done.
Will any song-bird even out the score?
They say white skies are all we can expect
once memories of sunshine have been wrecked.
