Search for Love

Those that go searching for love
only make manifest thier own lovelessness,
and the loveless never find love,
only the loving find love,
and they never have to seek for it.

(D H Lawrence)

Urine

Might and inventor
This century
Perfect a disposal method
For male urine?

This unhealthy malodorous
corrosive staining carrier
of disease
A million gallons daily

Destined for floors clothes
Usually close to
The intended place
But not close enough

Such an easy task
Spacemen deal with it
But not earth men
Is it asking a lot?

(WRM)

Pish.

Bleach your teeth,
Your clothes, your skin;
Treat your body from within,
By drinking,
Yes, you guessed,
Urine.

Wouldn't that make you yellow?

Your first pee of the day
so they say
is the one to drink

Skip the cup of tea
for half a pint of pea
and you'll be ready to face the day

Apparently

That was meant to be pee, not pea!

Now he tells me!
I had a hell of a time getting the last tablespoon down.
Do you still pee on the floor then?
