Tom Higgins Poems

I believe in the constitution, and that it does enshrine,
My right to be able to protect myself, and mine,
And that in order that I can so do,
I can own any gun that I want to.
...

Once again whilst fishing at the beach,
The fish they all stayed out of reach,
I think they knew that I was there,
And so my fish bag it stayed bare.
...

This week, on Tuesday
I must sadly, attend
The funeral of
Another friend,
...

I saw a cat
playing with a mouse,
from the kitchen window
of my house.
...

Everything including me,
Is made of atoms that came to be,
With the explosion of a star,
Light years away from where we are,
...

I'm in the fishing tackle shop,
And tempting thoughts just will not stop,
I'm like a little kid of three,
In a sweetie shop where all's for me!
...

Eighty five percent of global assets have been,
appropriated by ten percent of the population!

That leaves fifteen percent to be shared between
...

A nation of six percent of global population,
Has been led to believe the sole purpose of creation,
Was to bring them alone to the fore,
To give them the right to so much more,
...

Mr Jobsworth

My name is Everett Jobsworth,
an' I'm the governor of this Texas prison,
...

The meaning of the words we write,
Is oft times clear, black and white,
but sometimes it is true to say,
that those meanings are in shades of grey,
