Mixed Beans ( The Humble Coffee Bean ) by Renee Dallow

Mixed Beans are a threat to everyday life

And you’re too spoiled for choice

Conflicting wants are causing strife

You seem to have lost your voice

When mocca get’s mixed with latte

Things get out of hand

Barbied chops meet chicken sate

Not exactly bland

How dare they change the way you think

Introduce new fare

But now you’re afraid to create a stink

In case they start to stare

Those beans who won’t adhere to type

Who won’t blend in with you

Just love to revel in all the hype

When forced to accept the new

Drink your short black when you’re told

Never try to add more cream

Don’t leave yourself standing out in the cold

Come on in and join the team

And when you feel theurge to speak out

Chanting all mixed beans must go

Excuse yourself as just one more ignorant lout

Not really much in the know

Just like you mixed beans have rights

To live and work and play

And when you are sound asleep at nights

Mixed beans face a brand new day.

Dogs on holiday

On December 14, 2013December 14, 2013 By Renee Lou Dallow ( Bourgeoise Bloomers )In comfort zones, dogstar stories, Poetry in motion

Christmas I know is a festive time

And you can’t wait for time away

But please spare a thought for your canine

I too deserve a nice holiday

Please do some research on my chosen resort

Don’t send me to doggie boot camp

Make sure you get an updated report

On how they handle a champ

Find out what they will give me to eat

How long I’m allowed to play

What really happens in meet and greet

And how much you’ll have to pay

If you do all this before you depart

I’ll be just as excited as you are

I’ll know that I’ll always live in your heart

No matter how close or how far

I’ll know that you will return to fetch me

Take me back to our family home

Because though sometimes I love to run free

I really do prefer my comfort zone.

Heat wave

On October 10, 2013July 19, 2016 By Renee Lou Dallow ( Bourgeoise Bloomers )In Now and then, Poetry in motion

Today is hot and fires burn everywhere

But this is only the start

Yet there are millions who still don’t care

And this just breaks your heart

Another baby child is born this day

Safe in his mother’s arms

Someday soon he’ll go out and play

To the sound of fire alarms

So go on abolish the carbon tax

Let’s set the record straight

Australia is heating up to the max

And now it’s just too late.

Bourgeoise Boutique

On April 3, 2013February 16, 2016 By Renee Lou Dallow ( Bourgeoise Bloomers )In Poetry in motion

Please I don’t want to buy any more

Sorry no time for a chat

Really it’s more than I bargained for

No I’m sure I don’t want that!

No pressure to buy you say

Well let’s have another peek

But I wish you would get out of my way

I’m not into hide and seek

This is cute and that’s quite nice

I can’t decide it’s too hard

if you’re sure this is the right price

I’ll just put both on my card

No I’m afraid that’s all for today

Now if you’ll open the door

It’s time that I was on my way

Let me out of your store!
