"Hate"

The problem with "decimate"

For those who know our Latin

As the educated, we come to hate

Those who make it mean "to flatten".

"Wrong"

I was asking wrong things 

   of wrong people

   (no wonder no workee).

"Fear"

Ran into my old friend, Mark

Who smelled, of course, like pot

He said he wanted to get sober 

   (I fear he's lost the plot).

"Monster"

When you father has an outer monster

But you spot the inner child

As petrified you are of the monster

He's afraid of running wild.

"Wreck"

I want the catamaran 

With the Portuguese deck

Where the women will sun

   (while the men try not to wreck).
