though their forces were small in stature
their vision was of towering height
they'd not be denied their tribal territories
they belonged to the ancestral peoples

the mountains of conviction
they had in their beings
were of resistance
to the white man's
unwarranted usurping

histories pages have their feats
recorded for all to see
they were feats
of great bravery

the mountains of conviction
flowed in their blood
and it flowed
as a massive flood

they lost the battle
for their tribal territories
but they honored
their ancestral pedigree

the French
the British
the Dutch
the white men
took the lands
from the indigenous man's
hand

the mountains of conviction
were there in spades
but the tribal people
couldn't sustain
the colonialists
endless raids

a
goddess
of
love
a
symbol
of
lasting
adoration

a woman throughout the centuries
who has attracted
many a man's devotion

she of charm
and enticing allure
she of a superlative
nature

men have fallen to their knees
in exultant praise
worshipping the embodiment
of her feminine maze

and she invokes
powerful feelings
within a man's
core
Venus the allegory
of
timeless
armour

cradle me in your arms
never, never let me go
lull me in your embrace
until forevermore

tenderly hold me
in the darkness of the night
let your arms tell me
everything is alright

in your arms
I feel secure
from harm

in your arms
I'll not feel
one little qualm

cradle me in your arms
never, never let me go
lull me in your embrace
until forevermore

whistle while you work that's a happy lurk
do it loud and do it long makes a fun of work
music with a melody catchy bright and light
start on it tomorrow morn practice it tonight

it used to be such commonplace at work to hear a whistle
and a song or three sung out but now seems a thistle
must be stuck in every boot and sock and foot and shoe
causing pain and muttering that's all we hear it's true

so whistle while you work or hum a little tune
or burst forth and gustily with vocals fill the room
at first you'll get odd looks or two but soon you'll have them all
singing humming whistling at work they'll have a ball

the webmaster has
become quite the recluse
he's been away without
offering a viable excuse

it was back in March
that he fled from this egress  
not issuing any of us
a forwarding address

on Tuesday we sent
out twenty four scouts
to ascertain intelligence
as to his whereabouts

but the search party had
no good news to impart
all of them were
so disconsolate of heart

the domain is rather
down in the dumps
since our webmaster
pulled up his stumps

we are desirous of him
returning to home ground
it will be such a relief knowing
he's safe and sound

cloistered maintainer
who's deserted his position
as our house retainer

recently in a women's magazine*
I read an article
about the Duchess of Cornwall
being most ungracious
toward Princess Mary of Denmark
the Duchess can be a very catty *****
especially when Charles
is eyeing something of more appeal

but Camilla seems to have forgotten
her come hither days
when she was conducting
an affair with the Prince of Wales
under his wife's nose

the protocols in royal circles
have become less civil
and it is about time
she on her high horse
was more convivial

where the crown
and matters of state
are paramount
the Queen should avail
her son's missus
*of a polite dismount

kissing that boyfriend of mine
is far from divine

we usually partake
of a short peck
as his breath
is like a sardine trawler's deck

our lip locking
is always an abbreviated affair
staying attached at the mouth
isn't our fair

truncating our kissing
suits us to a tee
and we get along
rather agreeably

hey there pretty lady
I'm beguiled by your smile
do you think that maybe
you could stay awhile

I've a million things
I want to say to you
I've a whole lifetime
to spend loving you

I've been waiting for you
forever so long
now that I've found you
my heart is full of song

my gift of love
for you I declare
its fond endowment
we'll always share

hey there pretty lady
I'm beguiled by your smile
do you think that maybe
you could stay awhile

what lies in the vast frontiers of space
scientists have pondered on this very thing
they've boarded rockets to check out the place

is there only little green men a gleaming
at the far reaches of the celestial plain
scientists have pondered this very thing

inquiring earth minds taking the interplanetary train
so many worlds yet to be well investigated
at the far reaches of the celestial plain

can this orb support life and can it be populated
a glimpse of what is out there seen on Mars
so many worlds yet to be investigated

they reckon man might dwell upon a galaxy of stars
an upbeat community of scientists filled with joy
a glimpse of what is out there seen on Mars

Earthlings with state of the art technology to employ
an upbeat community of scientists filled with joy
what lies in the vast frontiers of space
they've boarded rockets to check out the place

viewing familiar artists
day in day out

gyrating
to and fro
hypnotic
mesmeric
her hips did move
men were lured
into her pelvic groove
the spangling sequins
on her costume
shimmered
in their most desirous eyes
how they all
aspired
to
dance
in her tantalizing field
a scorching heat
she did produce
which generated
a furnace of ardency
in a smoke filled bar
on ninth avenue
men did feast
upon her sultry menu

the neighbor's hens ventured into my backyard
and they've deposited the odd calling card
the path out the back has lime hillocks on it
which have proved not to be such a hit

the neighbor and I had a Mrs Harris and a Mrs Higgs
we discussed the hens not so polite depositing within my digs
she said the hen house door had fallen off its hinge
that is why the hens did so impolitely impinge

her hubby the local long arm of the law
later this afternoon shall repair the unattached door
the venturing wont escape custody
they'll be locked up for their impropriety

this year the imported ponies
are the ones to beat
as they've got more staying power
in their feet

long distance racing
suits their genetic makeup
over a mile they'll
keep firing up

our horses are sprinters
who can dash
but that style of racing
shall ne'er win the cash

her pizzazz on the stage cannot be beat
she was the sassy dame of Big Spender
in a glittering gown she looks so neat

dynamic moves she would oft tender  
verve goes into her one woman show
she was the sassy dame of Big Spender

with mic on stand she really glows
Bond Movie themes made her a star
verve goes into her one woman show

other cabaret act aren't of her par
Diamonds Are Forever so well known
Bond Movie themes made her a star

a Welsh lass with fab sounding tones
around the world her tunes are often spun
Diamonds Are Forever so well known

her fans think she is number one
around the world her tunes are often spun
her pizzazz on stage cannot be beat
in a glittering gown she looks so neat

the couple pledged
a lifetime of devotion

increased in steadfastness
theirs being a true

the oldest profession
doth bring much needed funds
housewives and mothers walking the streets
to supplement the household income
Mrs Jones is plying her female wares
in a motel suite somewhere
those extra dollars
shall pay the education fees
for her daughter Claire
as day to day living
isn't cheap
mothers and wives working the pavement
at any given time
the money they receive is a bonus
a nice little earner
a few bucks can be most helpful  
as the family budget oft sinks in a well
these women don't haggle
with their clients too much
they give them what they want
and in return get what they need
a dime is a dime
it can be so useful
when the fortnightly paycheck
is so skint
the ladies of the night
aren't always in the game for the purposes of romping
they're lying on their backs
to fill the hole
in the domestic
piggy bank

since you packed your bags
and went far far away
my life has turned
into a dark shade of grey

the sun doesn't shine
for me anymore
there's only
tears falling galore

sad, sad showers
every day
sad, sad showers
since you went away

your leaving cut deep
into my soul
deeper than any
cavernous hole

our love finished
over and done
our love at end
where is the sun

sad, sad showers
every day
sad, sad showers
since you went away

no solace can I find
for my aching heart
now that you've
split it apart

Said the lawyer to his client...
you'll be locked away
for all the misdeeds that you've done
ripping your business partner off
has bought you well undone

Said the client to his lawyer...
you've mounted the best defense
that you could
it is now time for me
to be incarcerated at Dartwood

Said the lawyer to his client...
there is no chance of an appeal
a ten year sentence
is your deal
that's what you get
for being such a heal

Said the client to his lawyer...
have you no criminal stains
upon your wig and gown
I've been told that you're
the shiftiest lawyer in town

Said the lawyer to his client...
the judiciary hasn't caught
me out yet
but in the future it might
find something on me
that is a good odds on bet

Said the client to his lawyer...
none of us is above the law
and one day you'll be locked
behind a set of cast iron doors

Said the lawyer to his client...
yes! I must admit
over the past twenty years
I've been involved
in some shady ****

Said the client to his lawyer...
we've both chosen
to follow a path of shame
and a judges gavel
will always bring an end
to all illicit games

pollens are drifting on the air
they've tormented my delicate nose
I spend my days
with tissues in hand
dabbing the wetness that flows
at intervals
I

achoo
achoo
floating pollen
is something
that I really
do rue

they wanted to be high school
sweethearts again
they wanted
to reignite that past flame
a chance did arise for the two
they seized the opportunity
to link up
they've done all in their power
to rerun their high school days
the ember of love
was ever in the background
just waiting for the appropriate time

back in 1977 they left Grafton High School
to pursue careers
and as a consequence
they lost touch
but a fellow pupil
was organizing a class reunion
she invited them
to the get together
once they locked eyes at this occasion
those old feelings
resurfaced
their love was rekindled
as it was
in those high school days

a political party that supports
the legalization of Mary Jane
is bound to be the first one
to sprint down the winner's lane

the constituents shall be busy
potting many a dope seed
so they've got a sufficient supply
of ye olde happy ****

to-day bongs and reefers
will be lit in much jubilation
as the smokers get high
on Mary Jane's elevation

as twilight set in
crickets began chorusing
a sameness of song
in their nature its innate
to be well synchronized

as he rubbed the ball
on his cricket trouser leg
he received a pleasurable feeling
in his third leg
when he went to bowl
the next over
what was standing up
in his trousers
so wanted to bowl
a maiden over
out on the cricket pitch
in the heat of the day
a bowler's imagination
can get carried away
