Bananana

The fruit is sweet
and soft to chew
Such a nice treat
- except those few
banana strings
those nasty things
that steal appeal

Taking a Pass

Don’t set us free,
what happens then?
Then there will be
a plague or ten.
Death passes through
if what you do
is choose to lose.

A Game of Prose

I read the books
and enjoyed them
They had their hooks
— a pop-lit gem
The TV show
I do not know
and I won’t try
