4 Poems for the first 4 days, April Contest

1) Late
I’m four days late, the contest has begun,
but not too late, I hope to have some fun.
Now crash the keys and see what might appear,
some sage advice that others might revere?

Oh woe is me, my song is all aglee.
Could I expect one person to agree
that what is writ is worthy to be read?
Should I admit these are the words I said?

2) Rates
Beg, steal but don’t borrow,
with interest rates set up so high
there is no tomorrow,
you’ll be in debt till you die,
drown in your own sorrow
left to wallow and cry.

3) The Sexes
A man may be aggressive
or timid as a mouse
But only a woman can argue
within an empty house

4) Next Mornin’
A dinae ken ma purage frae ma ale
Ma heed is burlin roon, a canae stan’
A’m no the yin tae swalie toast sae stale
an’ cannae yet get up withoot a han’

All four poems are full of humor, sensibilities and insensibilities...I wonder how you could quickly put them together...I liked them, they made me smile..

Only three are totally new. The third one is a rewording of something I attemped before. It was a meandering piece now trimmed to the bone.
