Movie ticket/ Old Bob


Movie ticket

Went to deliver movie ticket to department chair
Had to jump down a cliff five meters and higher
Down there students were off their class
Like high speed train was shaped their shuttle bus
Found chairperson office had swapped with others
Because the keys did not match their mothers
I knocked at her door, it was locked
The window showed chaotic stuff docked
Then she appeared from behind and side to me
In my upper pocket the ticket I failed to see
I panicked, it was bought with government fund
Others might think on private things I had spent
Finally it was found behind a napkin in the pocket
Happily I handed to the chair the elusive ticket
I told others she should approve my leave for the purchase
But actually she could only buy me some burgers
For I am no longer on payroll as retiree
How could I think of leaves, stupid me!

 

Old Bob 

On a freezing cold morning
Some of us went outside the house
Through the door\'s glass opening
I saw them looking aghast,hands on mouths
Something must have happened there
I tried to look through the window 
But I could not see what was on the stair
The thing blocking the door was too low
In hand holding a sword of some kind
By a narrow gap open the door I did push
Once out I looked back, blank turned my mind
Alas there by the door was A heap of white frozen flesh 
I made it out to be our friend old Bob there lying
He must have come with us to hang out 
Somehow he was killed before the door knocking
And got frozen the whole night throughout
One cadre told us to carry the energy bars in
I saw an old tape reco-player Bob used to carry
It was the desktop type, worn out and broken
What to do about it? i asked the other cadre
The other cadre said to put it into storage
I asked, he doesn\'t have family, right?
Who on earth could have been so savage
To kill a lonely man seeking warm indoor light?
