all they do is to cavil
while Kevin swings the gavel
carried away in euphoria

en rask företagsam rospigg
med kläm o sinne serent
från morgon tidigt till sent
Numera sällan morgonpigg

på släktingen Åkes 82-års dag
Längta ej redan efter våren
för då kännes vintern en svår en!
Råkall vind å väder vått
månader tills varmt å torrt
till dess halka ej i slaskspåren!
There was this artist named Yana
after inhaled marijuana
rather chomped pizza with extra cheese
than painted another masterpiece
Quaint her take on what’s Nirvana
To bourgeois way he lives contrarious
prefers his days with crowd gregarious
Blåsut found fine just ain’t Campania
and nowhere a place like Scania
Let’s his old man live life vicarious
Sam, a 17 y.o. grandson, did a ‘hat trick’:
There was this footballer named Sam
who swiftly went bam, bam & bam
All without a hair out place
what a cool, good looking ace
Poor goalie could not do a damn

hat trick = scoring three goals in one match
Skriven vid 79 års ålder:
Vållade sin stackars mor en tung sorg
efter att ha växt upp i Göteborg
när skrålade ‘Hallelujla!’
å for dumt nog till USA
Rastlös genom egen pinsam försorg
There was this (not that young) man named Brian
who went for an anti-racial buy-in
placed a BLM sign on his lawn
to show off his political brawn
and keeps it there while neighbors’ zeal dying
There was this peculiar geezer
a silly blabbermouth & teaser
but at last got wiser
then tugged on his visor
and ceased being such an appeaser
On the passing of a friend
While of Life’s harshness wary
convivial our Mary
Her heartstrings of harp
her mind saber sharp
Met many like her? Nary!
