Cakes, Boots and Merry-go-rounds

Violet's art cakes were fake, some say
but Violet's boots were a hoot!
She'd bought them down in Carnaby Street
and they came right up to her knees!

Now what in the heck d'ya suspect
they came right up to her knees.
She wore them into town she did
she wore them to go into town

and when she got there
there was a fair and the
merry-go-round went round and round
the merry-go-round went round.

Violet was an artiste, a very merry artiste
and when she got merry on her daddy's sherry
the cakes she made were a feast they were
the cakes she made were a feast!

I make a good living and I've never looked at myself as being an artiste.

For the theatre one needs long arms... an artiste with short arms can never make a fine gesture.

For the theatre one needs long arms; it is better to have them too long than too short. An artiste with short arms can never, never make a fine gesture.

Ability is the immovable asset.

Be proud that you are an artiste.
Be proud that you are an intellectual.
Be not proud that you are a king or queen
Of which you can be stripped.

Death Match

Tom the alley cat
took out the possum
the Ray-Ban wearing
bicycle riding
death defying
high wire artiste
met his match
though he left Tom
looking like a badly shorn
poodle.

Self made impotency

A dedicated dancer, a devoted worshiper,
An absorbed artiste and a renowned actress,
Having sublimated thus their libido
Ardently in the pursuit of their careers,
Have themselves gone indifferent to sex.

Evening Star

the sky is a darker shade of blue
a spellbinding mood setting tone
that would inspire an artiste to his brush
to romance with a spanish evening

the moon displays her queenly presence
with a clear and eloquent beam
as if it has just climbed out of a bath
cleansed of all smudge

a solid crown of confidence
that imbibes into stage artistes
that self assurance is the sky of their career
how it could win heavenly admirers

and the evening stars, they twirl
like ballet dancers in their closets
devising the best means to get their
facets to sparkle like a hard to get gemstone

Sonnet: Some Things Will Happen

Who can prevent the fury of Nature?
Who can prevent the clouds from raining down?
Who can prevent God’s pre-destined future?
Who can prevent the artiste turning clown?

Who stops a fruit from ripening in less days?
Who stops the ripened fruit from falling down?
Who stops a seed from sprouting in one place?
Who stops the grass from being daily mown?

Some things in Nature happen so early;
Some things in Nature fail to happen right;
Some things in Nature happen finally;
Who brings the clouds that block the good Moonlight?

There is a time for death and every birth;
There is a time for everything on earth.

Soul Segments Sold

Always
artiste can exercise a way
up
from gutter’s grave.
A path pathos taken
to tardy tear stained top
to fleet fluffy
white cotton cloud heights.
Does retch really
want to pay passage price?

Tread upon steps comprising
bestial beating humourless hearts
in apish agony
as supplant stepped upon.
Look down upon cowed cows
to be merit milked at pasture.
Gaining nothing
but gold gilted silver
trinkets
