Just stumbled on the off switch

Yet another Haiku nailed
Glad I thought this out!

Like confetti at a wake
Opinions matter.

Turning the tables. C. J. Black.
Let us talk about the elephant in the room
The always harbinger of utter doom and gloom
We all look at one another and wonder – who can it be?
Then the finger of suspicion points directly at me
Me I question – am I not always upbeat?
Am I not the one who is always turned out neat?
While the rest of you turn up in your work attire
Who do you think you are going to inspire?
Turning up in such a shabby state
Believe me when I say berate, berate, berate
I believe we should follow a proper code of dress
If we have new members – do you not think this would impress?
The facilities are here so you can shower and change
If you don’t feel so inclined perhaps we can re-arrange
And organise a time and day where we can meet and chew the cud
If you can’t agree to this recommendation then perhaps we should
Have a show of hands before we leave this room
On whether to continue if we should burst or boom
I am tired of the unsightly mess that faces me each week
If you all plan to continue in this vain then the outlook is rather bleak
So here’s the proposition I’m putting to the floor
And we will have a definite answer trust me before
This meeting is brought to its ultimate conclusion
And a decision will be made so you are under no illusion
That it’s all of you and not me who are the elephant in the room
Think twice in future before pointing the finger – for nothing sweeps cleaner than a new broom.

Evaluations. Haikus x3 C. J. Black.
Haiku *4
Where did words come from?
That when planted on a page
Make sense to the world.
Haiku *5
Why has alphabet
Only got so few letters?
But can say so much.
Haiku *6
Want my opinion?
Really it’s all Greek to me
Aenesidemus.

Another Rainy Day. C. J. Black
I don’t do depression
But it’s very hard to be cheerful on such a wicked day
Trying hard to think of something comical to say
Nothing seems to be appearing from the mist and fog
NOTHING AT ALL EXCEPT THE BARKING OF “BLACK DOG”

Could I be Freshly Pressed?? C. J. Black
Dress suit and cravat
Guess what I’m practising at?
Fancy that I’m sitting here about to write on my demise
Wondering will there be a place up there above the cloudy skies
If I am so lucky and turn up outside the pearly gates
Who knows what exciting things for me inside awaits
It strikes me though as mighty odd
That no one has come back to report once laid beneath the sod
I’ve had this chat with myself on numerous occasions
What to do when the train of life finally runs out of train stations
Would I prefer to be buried beneath six feet of clay?
Or better still be cremated – (my choice) – than be left to rot and decay
It’s a subject (eulogy) I hadn’t thought to write about
Wonderful – I hear, that echo loud and clear of that there is no doubt
But this Daily Post prompted the unleashing of this thought
So here we are now at this juncture so I feel I ought –
Address the issue without fear –
Tomorrow could be too late – why?
I just may well not be here
So the next step that I must take
Is, write this piece, make no mistake
Or it will be written as my epitaph
He couldn’t even do that right without making a total GAFF.

Haiku C. J. Black *2
Phone rings late at night
Fills the heart with total fright
Relief, wrong number.

A Limerick/Nonsense Poem. C.J. Black
I once met a young Lady from France
Who said yes I’m big into romance
So I poured her a drink
And what do you think
She led me on a merry dance.

Eureka. C.J. Black
I sat down this morning with a different perspective on what I’m about to write
Opened my lap top and guess what – too my sheer delight
I was informed that yesterday was my best day so far
Great news echoed my family always knew you’d be a “star”
Forgive me for cheating – well just a little I’ll put you right in time
A little white lie assists greatly when stuck for a word to rhyme!
To say that I was overwhelmed is the understatement of the year
Indeed I could tell another white lie and say I shed a tear
But you’ve heard it said grown men don’t cry
But that’s a myth and not a lie
So thank you all who “liked” and those who paid a “visit”
A big Man hug from me to you – “Ah shucks sure your all exquisite”
With so many people out there oozing talent from every pore
It humbles me – the responses, and urges me to scribble more
As I don my parachute and prepare to jump off of cloud nine
I must put all this in perspective and accept it graciously, when, I go into decline.
