Saturnine? Indeed it's not!
ReplyDeleteBank holiday today
From midnight on it's been Monday
And will be so all day
'Twas Saturnine two days ago
The weather - baking hot
I struggled, cursed, & made it through
Torridophile I'm not
I love the sun, with cooling breeze
Without that breeze I'm gloomy
Then you can call me saturnine
I just don't like it humid
Feeling a bit saturine
ReplyDeleteBut from me you'll see no crying
I'll boost myself up today
Perhaps by music, perhaps by play
The smiles I'll force upon these lips
is a better resolution than feeding my hips
Shopping too is a temporary fix
As long as I'm careful with my picks
I'm in no hurry, not in a rush
Just gently give me a little push
I really am not sad today
I only feel a bit sluggish, in a way
Our African water frog
ReplyDeleteis in no saturnine mood
He dreams of the local bog
and swimming in the nude.
He sings and begs:
'let me out. Set me free
I want to find a few eggs
and a missus who loves me.'
Alas, in his aquarium he stays
and delights us with his tune
we know this is just a phase.
He's better off in our fake blue lagoon.
The Titan King, a sign
ReplyDeleteCronus was all alone
His stomach would cry out
Hestia would plead
Hades would grimly moan
Hera would shout
Poseidon would songs lead
Demeter would intone
A sixth voice, they without
He was King Saturnine
The cavalry officer cried "Malign
ReplyDeleteFate has deprived me of horse!
Here in this forest of pine -
This park. Perforce,
My men, unmounted,
Will soon be discounted."
Then suddenly it struck him how
The bushes of the park were clipped.
"Some mad mathematician I do avow!
With topi'ry numbers the park's all equipped."
So he mounted his men on bushy numbers so fine
And himself Saturnine.
