Poems

Greenberg
Blargh
Upon exclaiming a huge sorrow, one built of vitiated happenstances,
Else manky events, it’s best to ignore confidently incorrect
Exclamations, stay grounded.
Problematic quantums, after all, often arise from small, unimportant
Matters like spilled milk, broken eggs, incomplete cookies,
As well as burnt roast.
Damaged things, in general, whether brittle or robust call for intense
Care, wearying attention. Such responsibility causes anger,
Vexation, regret.
Reindeer, donkeys, besides mules, grazing proximate to shiels,
Are used for threshing, revolving windmills and waterwheels,
Also, for military service. Equally, police horses and dogs do
Not rest.
Performing beyond the bounds of duty often rallies images of
Tall, majestic brutes wasted ploughing, logging, pulling heavy
Loads, namely, camels, elephants, likewise, llamas, tethered to
Carts or laden with parcels.
Not just bullocks and buffaloes, but people, too, might, at
Times be considered for arduous jobs. Though yaks, goats
Viably get harnessed & large dogs pull sleds, people rebel,
Push away all manner of incumbrances.
