John Milton Hayes Poems
- 1. You Know What I Mean
I've noticed this happen, when everything is black,
When I'm down below zero and cannot get back,
When I feel like a sort of a National Debt,
That will go on for ages and never be met,
... - 2. The Whitest Man I Know
& R. Fenton Gower
He's acruisin' in a pearler with a dirty nigger crew,
... - 3. Orange Peel
& Cuthbert Clarke
The colonel stopped, and glared around,
... - 4. My Old Football
& Cuthbert Clarke
You can keep your antique silver and your statuettes of bronze,
... - 5. Merchandise
& Eisie April
Dedicated, by gracious permission, to H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES
... - 6. The Green Eye Of The Little Yellow God
There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town;
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down.
