Rock in the sky

I’d like to stroke your head to soothe your pain

I’d like to hold you while you rest again

Does my fantasy seem much too sweet

Can the heart enjoy such sweet deceit?

I’d like you in pyjamas. by the fire

Feelng cosy though you might be tired

Looking at a Bergman film with me

I do know you like them we will see

Then we could have a fight about my cat

It bit your head off when it lost the rat

I’d make some cocoa read your palm in bed

My eyes are weak so we might kiss instead

The earth would rock the stars crash in the sky

When I sang a dreamy lullaby

Acumen in verse

I never had acumen as such;

I trusted in people too much

An innocent with a heart

Till it bled from your dart.

Now I’m cynical and hate most men from the start.

Is acumen innate in anyone?

If so my parents passed none on

I don’t like investing

And finance is testing.

But I love and am loved so I’ve won.

I am finding acumen hard to use

Its three syllables make me confused

How to pronounce it

Is too hard,so denounce it.

As we don’t want to feel self bemused.

Fortunately I am not self employed

As accounting and tax me annoy..

I am a voice in the forest

Humorous and honest.

But of acumen I am supremely devoid
