Poetic Pieces for the Mind and Spirit

I see you asked for me to share a poem of mine, David. Here are a few ditties from a non poet laureate.

The Righteous Sinner

Do you want salvation?
Follow me.
Straight down the path
To surety.
Don't eat meat on Friday,
That's a sin.
Don't miss church on Sunday,
That's a sin.
Go to confession,
Make your profession
Of guilt, such guilt.
Fight the good fight,
You'll be alright
With Heaven on your side.

The Death of the Little Boat, but the Dream Lives On (spoiler, it sunk) -- based on a true story which was based on an actual event ;)

When I was young I built a boat,
It didn't matter that it wouldn't float.
'twas all the more amusing to be sure,
When it sunk to the bottom and was no more.

To err is human; to bark canine and to purr feline: The Feline Groovy Song.
Based on a Simon and Garfunkel song and my actual observations of a cat (aka Felis catus of the felis domesticus family) stalking rodents

Slow down, you stalking too fast
You got to make the prowling last...
Looking for mice and feline groovy.

About an age of power where no one had an hour to spare,
Where the seeds have withered, silent children shivered, in the cold
Now their faces captured in the lenses of the jackals for gold.

I based a song I wrote around some Salvador Dali paintings, except for the last bit:
