One
the whortile is a flower of uncommon characteristic
it grows around trains and in bogs
up noses it is often gay
though when a subscription in aid of the church roof did not reach
the appeal's goal
it was so disappointed
it became vulnerable to frost
planted between may and september
divided as instructed
it liked sun
was drought resistant
it now resists war and drafts also
its life expectancy depends
like worms in the soil
on patients and imps
also drainage and hydraulics
it is not recommended for beginners
or anyone under the age of consent
with some kinds of perfume use
and boots
this would be fine for mum
especially when packaged with bath salts and several sticks of gum
in a basket with a bow
of iridescent cellophane
Two
i wish i could write a short poem as stirring as hell
with war in it and victory and natural law
and a faithful dog and mel gibson and bells all going ting-a-ling-a-ling
but no
