(Tanka) Booooo

A 'Man United'
'sub' comes on and the 'Spurs' fans
'booooo' him because he's 
a former 'Chelsea' player...
This crowd really know their stuff!

To lye to lie to lay

Is it to lye or to lie or to lay?
"to recline whilst not telling the truth in a prone position?"
The greatest lies 
lie, lye, lay, lay in not telling the truth
but failing to lay at all.
Am I to never lye again,
but would that be a lie?
And not to tell the truth,
also be a lye?
Or a lay?
I must ensure that I would never again 
lie,
swearing the truth; to,
living,
lying
longing,
laying,
lying,
or just - lay; lye; lay; lie...

...why is liing not a word?

(Tanka) Reflection

I stoop to pick up
a dropped coin on the shiny 
floor beneath me...
but my reflection gets there
first and snatches it from me.

(Tanka) Soldier

Wishing a soldier
well and to keep his head down
and to remain safe
is a bit optimistic 
given what his work entails
