ONLY HUMAN ....

ONLY HUMAN   Lost in thought, the sage, revered and respected by all, scratches his bum.   Enthroned, embarrassed: the hostess of an Ideal Home with no toilet roll.   “After you, my dear” the ex-marine ‘didn’t see’ the spider in the bath   Crowned and excited Miss Little Maiden phones home: kids are delighted   The noted misogynist, alone in his penthouse pad adjusts his new bra   ‘Overdone it a little!’ the spotlit supermodel decides, searching for a shadow.   After mocking laughter Casanova creeps home to add Viagra to his shopping list.

Enjoyable and clever

I don't get the ex-marine verse. Maybe, just maybe, add a conclusion or other ending? Although it works as it stands. cheers, Jess

Shirley, if you look at the

Shirley, if you look at the date the poem was written, check out his home page, Meic has been AWOL from Neopoet for some time now. We are good friends, and have been for a long time, haven't heard from him for months. I don't know how he is, or if he is. It's an immense sadness for me. I don't know who to contact to see if he's ok, the emails go through, so his email account is still active. ~Anna "If you think you're free, there's no escape possible." ~ Ram Dass
