Much Ado About A Whole Lot of No-One

 

Much Ado About A Whole Lot of No-One
 
I shall become an illeist
As I write this bit of fizzle
It may seem a thing of great conceit
When one drones on about oneself like drizzle
 
The Cheese is not an android
She often makes herself a fool
She's at the intersection between too closed and too open
Her defensive posture leads to ridicule
 
The Cheese is kind of ghetto
She has skin as pale as zinc
Some say a body like a draftsack
Most men from her would shrink
 
In her younger days, she liked to make mischief
But she had a heart of gold
Now her heart is hard as brick
Her once loving spirit is cold
 
It sometimes seems she might strangle
In the tangled web her psyche weaves
It might seem she doesn't know how to give love
In truth, she doesn't know how to receive
 
So now you know a little bit about Cheesy
And this might not seem to be very nice
But there might be a lesson for you to heed
In knowing folk with unlucky rolls on life's dice

Spectrum


 
 
Spectrum
 
In poetry I am able
To cryptically reveal the splendor
That hides beneath my secular skin
 
At first gaze I seem a plain person
With no higher ambition
Than to harvest what meager fruits I can
 
When I'm old and my back is bent
From toiling at physically difficult jobs
And the death rattle takes my last breath
 
When what little family I have is gathering
And the breeze builds and blows away
The scattered ashes of my body
 
These words will remain
For those who like puzzles
To try and decipher
 
The truth about a plain person
Who was more than she appeared to be
