Yes, I remember the red vividly... Sprawled all over a tiled white The blow was a perfect angle Ensuring the fall had been fatal I looked around and saw a gathering audience The consequence of the Act would soon follow And I'd ave to pay for this dastardly deed It was an accident, innocuous I'd say If it wasn't for the steep price I had to pay A sublime bottle of aged Ambrosia Had slipped through my grasp unhindered Met its untimely demise On the unyielding floor it encountered... ...Now I stood empty handed My evening ruined and pockets emptied!

The One that got Away!
His voice like no other His eyes a fresh sparkle His being glowed 'the warmth of a spring sunlight He took the center stage that morning And everyone knew a new Star was born Fussed over by one and all He lived a regal life, second to none Drank n slept most of the time... ...Most of the time there was little else to be done His full throated solos were heard loud and clear Often keeping his audience helpless and spellbound But right now those tiny hands n tiny feet were locked up in a deep sleep Tired by antics and fed to the brim, His mother held him close and whispered to his soul - "Sleep well my Boy... ...You have a long way to go"

The Rising Star
The grog's half full n the tucker nerly done I head to my ol' man house Lost me job last month The ol' man listened to the yarn neatly spun Ignored the pleas from his grown boy's mum Give him some, help his family run no he said, let him stick to his *** A decent job and a bright prospect he had Ruined it all for tipple n fun ...He tottered on past his prime wouldn't last much longer he thought n sighed The bar beckoned him once more Dragging his feet he entered the place Pr'olly the only home he he felt safe Downing in his drink he obscured The deep rut he endured

Bundaberg
Trapped in a timed quagmire, She silently swore The noose tightened, oh but ever so slow Hopelessness and exhaustion had set in deep She couldn’t take this hell much more.. Round after round after round he fired fast It hit her and went right through her head hard A numbing sensation crept up her toes All of a sudden it stopped, she froze The barrage of words had sputtered to a close As the Professor’s mouth finally slammed shut The classroom door obliged his hold The lecture was over and the torture no more!

The Torture
A Joker par excellence, a tour de force He baited his viewers who hooked on for more His words shot out with wit endowed On and on his repertoire grew - An entertainer, an actor, a humane soul Weathering the seas and storms crashing in his mind He bore it all with courage; he was of a tenacious kind Often, over the years, he felt lonely and soured Only to rise up from those dreaded chasms to face lifebiz extempore On that fateful night his blues a blackened fury hued His youth and the powers he’d borne - a distant memory to be wallowed? Every night he’d faced these demons forlorn… But tonight he lost the battle to his mind’s old foe… …And the man who once tickled the world is now no more R.I.P Robin Williams
