a color spectacle
hath graced my sister's
beautiful spring garden
she wove a picture of glory with her hand
each thread showing the colours of nature
to behold its fine attributes was grand
all of the features making for rapture
her vista truly astounding to sight
blue of sky stretching over the terrain
pristine snows covering mountains of height
red soils spanning across the open plain
so splendidly embroidered our globe
with hues of green in the vegetation
floral shades deftly sewn through a robe
the wondrous exhibit of prime creation  
our planet possesses remarkable tints
she is an asset of such divine glints
will he make a remarkable
comeback
or is he bound for the out
going track

this is the question that the
political doyens do ask
has he got the ware with all
to undertake such a massive task
  
his present poll numbers
are below forty one percent
and before November they'll  
need a climbing ascent

the country's voters have already
endured four long years
of an administration that has
displayed many faulty gears
  
if the incumbent is hoping
for a chance revival
he'll have to engage all fifty states
in his survival
baby baby baby
come dance with me
baby baby baby
come dance with me

we'll carve the floor up
we'll put on all the moves till sunup
we'll show them how it is done
we'll shimmy and Watusi our hot buns
we'll eclipse that old strobe light
we'll be swinging all through the night

baby baby baby
come dance with me
baby baby baby
come dance with me

we'll tear the house down
we'll be the best steppers in town
we'll make a fabulous syncing team
we'll jive on into our Salsa dream
we'll have the joint pulsating hard
we'll nicely calibrate our dance card

baby baby baby
come dance with me
baby baby baby
come dance with me
come lay with me
in a field of flowers
come lay with me
we'll explore those regions
where love
lies
we'll explore those receptive regions
neath
open skies

come lay with me  
in a field of flowers
come lay with me
we'll immerse ourselves
in love's
deep
sea

come lay with me
in a field of flowers
come lay with me
we'll imbibe
in intimacy's
ecstasy
thirteen men came together, who shared a common goal
each one persisted on the field, to bring glory to their football team

employing skills they'd been taught, on the oval they put in their best
struggling against the other side, to win for the team

they'd not be disgraced, their competitive spirit rode high
the lads unified in battle, they played as a solid team

each man drilled and trained, none had defeat on their minds
positional play was all important, they'd not be a routed team

their football team had a draw on Sunday, the thirteen strove to win
as a cohesive unit they tried well, but the time clock disfavored their team
a common practice is subscribed to at the place
why on earth they do it defies one's mind space
over an extended period one has seen their escapade
which has the appearance of a staged parade

each person clocks in with something to show
then they'll remove it off the submission's row
how fascinating for one to amusingly sight
it'll happen both by morning and beneath lamp light  

just a few minutes ago one saw this very thing
being openly displayed inside the writer's ring
a piece was put up for everyone's eyes to review
without any notice the work vanished from view

on not being able to find its new dwelling spot
one wondered about this their most interesting plot
a mere peek a boo is all they'll let you see
before they erase what was in their lines lee

you've got to be quick to read the material
if you are not you'll miss the fast paced serial
one knows the capers that they do imbibe in
that's why one watches with the broadest grin
Carolina is calling on the line
calling
calling
calling
on the line

the receiver can't hear
Carolina calling on the line
cause the Carolina line has a fault
somewhere along the line

Carolina is calling on the line
calling
calling
calling
on the line

Carolina's calls just don't reach
the receiving end
as the Carolina line got twisted
at the Carolina end

Carolina is calling on the line
calling
calling
calling
on the line
the realization of numbers
descending
away
hasn't dawned in her  
mind's matter of
gray

if she doesn't wake up
from complacency's
story
there will be nowt left
on the listing's
inventory

it'll be too late when we're
all looking for a
job
due to us not having
goodly figures in the
mob

surely she can sense  
our positions are at
stake
as the total amount has
become an
earthquake

under previous heads
we've not felt
insecure
but with her holding
the reins we're in
manure

for over seven months
she's buried her
head
like the ostrich who can't
see impending
dread

it is perfectly plain
to everyone else
around
that the units have
slipped onto the
ground

she'll open the file
which will say all
absent
the last manager was
a little too
complacent
age is catching up
with me that's for sure
as it takes me hours
to sweep the floor

ten years ago
I was nimble of foot
but of late my speediness
has gone caput

the old legs just
can't keep pace
and they wouldn't
be in the hunt
to win a sprint race

these days I have more
in common with a snail
inching very slowly
along the trail

zip and zeal
are no longer
in my vocabulary
sluggishness
is now the core word
in my dictionary

as the days pass
there is less vim and vitality
within me
and in the near future
my motor will become
completely stationary
the owner operator
of the poetry
site
doesn't adhere to
his own guideline's
rite
it states that all members
must be
polite
yet he allowed slurs
from the Michigan
*****

one clearly recalls
what happened on that
day
a lowlife bloke used the term
***** in an offensive
way
whereupon the poetess who'd received
his nasty comment, left the site's
bay
she'd not be subject
to this derogatory
spray

no action taken against
the one in the
wrong
he still remains part
of the site's
throng  
an injustice within
the owner's weak
song
the smell of it is unforgettable
of reeking
pong

would seem that the trash talker (****)
does whatever he
likes
and the webmaster is complicit
in the words he
trikes
The stroke of thine quill, twas well felt by he
In its ink, one did utter a free spree
One admits, to the phrasing of *******
Maybe, one twas ill advised, in act
For this notation, had a harsh impact
A valuable lesson, twas taught to me
That being, be much more thoughtful of he
Using that term, has left a very big hole  
Communication lines, all stalled
Two persons, isolated and walled
An intemperate lash, won me no friend
The past error, of quill is very clearly seen
One had so awfully, vented one's spleen
Of this tutorial, I'll e'er comprehend
A friend has a problem with his computer connection
The dashed thing keeps losing its inflection
To wits end my friends computer did drive him
And last evening the picture was rather grim

At some time later tonight he'll be online
Hopefully his computer connection will be working just fine
It has been a frustrating period for my friend
Having his link to the outside world taking a lend

Observing the sidebar of the computer screen
There is not a sight of him to be seen
A search party is required for scoping my friend
As his connections seems not to be on the mend

This hour the outlook is very very bright
My friends connection is lighting up the green light
His woes have been sorted and he'll be a happy chappy
Not being able to reach him has been rather ******
into a far reaching pandemic
the world was plunged
and to this point all the relevant
details have been expunged

somehow the panthogen
escaped its enclosure  
leaving the world's population
prone to the exposure

still there's a lingering question
in people's minds  
as to how the disease got out
of its confines

no satisfactory answer
has been furnished yet
which looks mighty like the gatekeeper
will get off with a let

one theory that was recently
put forward
said the virus leaked out
of the lab's unsecured ward  

in years to come the veracity  
maybe revealed
but until then much seems
to be well concealed
if Trump and Kim can reach an amicable agreement
it will go down in history as quite an achievement
may they temper the past language of dispute
to accomplish a calming that's so resolute

the Korean Peninsula needs men of level head
who'll bring to the region not a threatening dread
these talks they'll be taking part in
are the path toward a positive win

Singapore shall host this most sensitive event
which will determine the issues of crucial extent  
with both men being unpredictable in persona
the world anticipates a concordance of corona
more than a thousand
followers took to liking him
they tagged along with his
tarnished trim

the approach he used
to rope them all in
was heavy handed
of a bovver boy's spin

he accumulated them
by tactics not so nice
emailing messages which
were threatening of vice

but whence they'd
reciprocate in kind
the craven one showed
a cowardly behind

this piece is based
on factual evidence
and of its content
the writer has confidence
among our vast number
there is a grass
who transmits newsy tidbits
along the vine's brass

he or she does
a very effective job
by relaying our messages
from his or hers
informative gob

shortly we'll have to use
a cypher that is a scramble
so he or she won't be
privy to what we'll preamble

you just never know
who is dobbing you in
and the sort of tack
they're apt to spin

caution and care
must be the priority of mind
as somebody is leaking
our confidential rind
whence the two essences
of male and female
coalesce
they combine
in love's congress
(And)

had this word
not have been invented
we couldn't join
others together

and
is a great unifying word
and
we can sing like birds
at the virtue of this word

and
I could
go on all day
about the word
and
but I shall
let you all
read something
which features
the word
and

deception is the old fellow's name
he's an ace professional con man
this is his no good claim to fame

he's fab at handling the charisma pan
far too smooth is his presentation
he's an ace professional con man

he'll never get an honesty ovation
the old guy is tops at the odd slippery trick
far too smooth is his presentation

a keen eye can pick him real quick
his act is well honed and rehearsed
the old  guy is tops at the odd slippery trick

on the subject of fraud he's well versed
world class are his abilities at shadiness
his act is well honed and rehearsed

he struts his stuff with much cleverness
world class are his abilities at shadiness
deception is the old fellow's name
this is his no good claim to fame
it is a part of nature
for a man and a woman
to coalesce
in a state of undress

to enjoy ******
contact
is the most natural
of acts

nature
is
a
wonderful
thing
as a man and woman
express
their
connecting
unaware folks
tasted the liar's spiel*

on misguided trail
lost in a cheat

the spin doctor
bore no honesty
*disciples conned
conspiracy theories
bring intrigue to the mind
and we've all come across
a few of this kind

who
what
when
and
how
the queries
we'll all make
is the information
proffered a mystery
like Mandrake

but
there's
a
rider
with
everything
and
worth
our
consi­dering

on some occasions
a smidgeon of genuineness
can be found
scattered among the material
which is circulating
around

keep an open
brain space
and watch
for the iffy cue
this will better
apprise both
me and you
the place could do
with a dose of castor
*oil

to purge it of the things
that so
spoil

first and foremost
there's the
trolls
who are always acting
like sinister
dolls

then there's perverts
approaching
teens
via unsuspecting
email
screens

lastly there's the ones
buying good
will
with a webmaster
allowing the
drill

a bowel needs not

those powerful bankers
they who have much clout
are financing the ultimate destruction
which shall inevitably occur
cards are beginning to fall
those who've been dealt
unimportant suits
shall surely die
those who are most fortunate
shall be dealt cards
most high
they'll seize every ace
the bankers issue out
there will be a select few
who'll have ownership
of the planet's vital resources
the elites
shall take
all they can obtain
which will leave
nothing for the masses
on our planet with which to sustain
talk is becoming louder
an event most prophetic
shall shock the Earth's inhabitants
hear the reverberating
the tremors are starting to roll
the circle of Illuminati
shall be in control
cicadas thrummed all day
as the sun searingly shone
their drumming beat abated
when the cool breeze came
when the cooling breeze
turned up to give reprieve
we felt not so spent*
the days of beating sun rays
*exhausted our limp bodies
with a scrumptious
rhyme
their love nest
sang all the time

they partook of honey
all year through
in the mists of autumn
and on those warm
summer days too

their love nest
had an abundance
of amorous zeal
which made for
much appeal

libations of spice
flowed each time
they supped
of love's
copious cup
on gaining entry to
the Whitehouse's
accommodation
the now president found Obama's
past policy
presentation

he's reprised the Obama
plan in a replica
fashion  
and has even adopted Obama's
acolytes with an abundance of
passion  

there's no doubt about
the emcumbent's
credentials
they sure bear a striking resemblance
to Obama's copycat

coercive the tune she sang

they've been involving themselves
in all sorts of corrupt deals
and the ICAC
is calling them in
to give accounts
of their underhanded deals
many Labor politicians
have fronted to tell their tales
so have ****** figures
who've left not so tidy trails
the head of the commission
is apprising himself
with the corruption stealth
the shady deals
the money exchanges
those fine upstanding
legislators
caught in the net
rife these practices
have been...
and in time
they've been seen to be
not so clean
dossiers on those
who've had their hands
in the defrauding game
shall have them
well cuffed
and they'll only
have themselves to blame
coiled together
a pair of corrupt serpents
to impair virtue

much of the vile two's badness
hissing around here

they're well entrenched
within our locale's dwelling
doing as they please
with the cost of utilities
increasing all the time
we've no money
to spend on having a good time

our weekly pay packets
are stretched far too far
and there is little money
left in our savings jars

There once was a woman named Mrs Bess
Who couldn't find her own address
She got slightly confused on the way there
And ended up at a village this side of Mayfair
Not being able to find her address stressed Mrs Bess
a counterfeit heart never lasts
the currency of it is fake
without the proper watermark
chances are it will of you forsake

who wants a guy
bearing this kind of trait
there is no value
in his heart's dollar rate

the forgery can be detected
over a period of time
that old note won't
cede one single dime

a gal needs surety
in the cash she's receiving
for if it's not genuine
love will be so unbelieving

a counterfeit heart
a counterfeit heart
gals can't endure
a counterfeit heart
counting
counting
the hours

counting
the hours
till you are with me

counting
at first light of day
counting
when the daylight
fades away

counting

counting
for our love to ensue

the counting
will soon be up
then we'll sip

Tamworth is the Country Music Capital
which is located in the state of New South Wales
and in the month of January
all of its streets fill with musical tales

Mr Kenny Rogers that American great
shall be featuring
he'll be singing ballads for the crowds
who of him are so adoring

those Nashville record producers
could find lots of talent down under
it is recommended they hop aboard a jet
to check out our Aussie thunder

this festival of twanging guitars
and fine singers must be seen
so we're inviting all devotees to gather
with us for an eyeballing glean

in January the city of Tamworth
plays open house for a fortnight  
all comers will heartily enjoy
the atmosphere of its tonal light

Keith Urban twas unearthed
by those in the recording industry
stetson wearing promoters caught onto
his bankable brand of country
the glass cliffs of the city
echo to the sound of an adrenalin rush
motor cars, buses and trucks
all in the fast lane
hectic the movement on the streets
not a second goes by without a noise filled beat
the scurried hurry
of pedestrians
all of whom are bound
to a full on gait

the quietness of a bush landscape
is a locale slow in time
there a soul can unwind
walking at leisure
through a wood of countless trees
taking a pause along the way
to listen to the hum of bees
birds twittering
their caramel tunes
catching sight of a squirrel
nibbling on an acorn husk
the glistering sun upon the river's trace
nothing can beat
the countryside's space
as colorful dawn by sleepers not known
as light does its highlighting chore
the valley serene in rich autumn garb
no brown green and clean as before

silent and teeming with life so respectful
of rest to the mind and soul
wisp of mist called by a sky
as rays from the east take their toll

how many years has this rock turned its face
to warmth and pleasure of Sol
shadows which fade and crannies which open
bear witness to eons untold

when will it tire this lovely home
this oasis in space and the black
eternity is as forever of something
afoot not known at our back

a valley of oneness a privacy real
no sounds of the trappings of progress
no neighbor or hound or vocal chords strained
no doubt to some seen as regress

this treasure of mine so rich in its being
at times I could with others share
such solitude so pleasing to eye
but few friends would paradise bear

when sleeping is done and in the dim glow
of dawn the eye seeks out
this picture of life this oil of hand
so steady so real and without

facade or whim or frivolities jibe
a solid as rock guarantee
of tomorrows light and sight smell and sound
and peace solitude free
I have met a nice chap
on the internet
he's told me
he'd like me to be his pet

since I'm not
a gold fish or Persian cat
I'm a bit confused
as to where he is at

maybe I should
seek further information
on his form
of internet communication

I'm expecting an email
from him at noon
to whit I'll reply
you're courting a baboon
A little something to make you smile...
cousin Jim
was an inept crim
he deployed a Sherman tank
to raid the Federal bank
Crim is an abbreviated form of the word criminal.
coursing in his veins
the blood of yellow hue
a sure verification
of a coward's cue

men of courage bore
a darker shade of red
there was such bravery
in the way they bled

behind them the craven
one so weakly stood
they'd be taking the bullets
meant for his hood

yellow with dishonor
spineless of back
not having the gumption
to face an attack

his veins so desperately
bereft of fortitude
they were so inglorious
in their aptitude
choreography
is taking off
in rural areas
cows are moving
and grooving
fabulously

on hillsides
and in creek paddocks
you can see cows
shaking
their four legged frames

WOW

WOW

WOW

those cows can dance
their hypnotic steps
put one in a trance
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 loving arms
tell me that
everything
will be
alright

in
your
arms
I'll
feel
secure
from
harm

in
your
arms
I'll
have
not
one
little
qualm

cradle me in
your arms
never never
let me go
lull me in your
embrace
until
forevermore
#tenderness  #love  #arms
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
