LETS JUMP INTO THE WHITE HOUSE
AND GET IN OVER THE FENCE
ARE THEY THERE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
OR TO VISIT  MIKE PENCE


USUALLY YOU HAVE TO GET AN INVITE
TO VISIT PRESIDENT TRUMP
BUT IF YOU DON'T JUST JUMP THE FENCE
AND ON THE DOOR YOU THUMP

WOW A LITTLE GIRL WAS GOING INSIDE
AND THE WIND DID COME
SHE OPENED THE DOOR
AND SHE WAS ON THE RUN


SHE WAS BLOWN AWAY
AND THE DOOR DID OPEN FAST
BUT HANG ON LITTLE GIRL
FOR THE WIND WILL PASS

AFTER 20 YEARS DIANA'S STORY
NOW WILL BE TOLD
HERE ON AUSTRALIAN TELEVISION HER
LIFE AND LOVES WILL UNFOLD


I HOPE THEY REPORT THE
TRUE PRINCESS THAT SHE WAS
HER LEGACY AND DEDICATION
WILL LIVE ON BECAUSE


SHE WAS A PRINCESS THAT
LIVED LIFE FROM HER HEART
AND HER LEGACY AND DYNASTY
IN HER CHILDREN WILL NEVER PART

THERE WAS A LITTLE BOY IN LONDON
WHO WAS VISITING THE QUEEN
A POSY HE WAS GIVING
BUT HIS TANTRUM WAS THE SCENE


AS A YOUNG CHILD
WHAT COULD YOU DO
WHEN THE QUEEN IS APPROACHING
AND WILL SAY HELLO TO YOU

OH DEAR NORTH KOREA
THERE IS A NUCLEAR THREAT
THE U.S. JAPAN AND CHINA
HAVE AN EACH WAY BET


KIM JONG-UN IS CHALLENGING THE WORLD
COME ON NATIONS LET PLAY
IF WE ARE TO DANCE
WILL WE HAVE A NUCLEAR DAY


WHAT CAN WE DO TO HOLT THE THREAT
AND BRING THE WORLD TO PEACE
COME ON KIM JONG-UN WHY DON'T YOU WATCH
OLIVIA NEWTON JOHN IN GREASE

THE QUEENS BATON RELAY
STARTS FOR THE COMMONWEALTH GAMES
THE TORCH IS NEALY READY TO GO
THE MESSAGE WILL REMAIN THE SAME


ATHLETES HAVE COMPASSION AND SKILL
AND WILL COMPETE ON THE GOLD COAST
THEY ALL HAVE DEDICATION AND PASSION
BUT TEAM SPIRIT IS THE MOST


THE GAMES REPRESENT
THE BEST OF THE BEST
COMPETING WITH EACH OTHER
THERE IS NO OTHER CONTEST


THE TORCH NOW STARTS
SUCH AN INCREDIBLE JOURNEY
CROSSING OUR GREAT PLANET TO SEE
THE TORCH YOU MUST GET UP EARLY

DANIEL IS A YOUNG MAN AT STONES
HE IS ABOUT TO TURN 20
HIS WHOLE LIFE IS AHEAD OF HIM
AND REALLY IS FULL OF PLENTY


PLENTY OF TIME TO FIND A PASSION
THAT WILL FILL HIS HEART WITH STRENGTH
TO TAKE HIM TO HIS BRIGHT FUTURE
WHICH IS DEFINITELY FULL OF LENGTH


PLENTY OF TIME TO TRAVEL OUR
BEAUTIFUL WORLD WITH HIS BEST FRIEND
FINDING MEMORIES TO TAKE WITH HIM
WHEN HIS LONELY HEART NEEDS TO MEND


PLENTY OF TIME TO FIND
THAT VERY SPECIAL ONE
TO SHARE HIS FUTURE WITH

TO CONTEMPLATE THE MEANING OF LIFE
FOR IT IS A VERY  SPECIAL GIFT


PLENTY OF TIME TO BUILD GREAT WEALTH
TO HAVE A COMFORTABLE LIFE
JUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD
TO THE BEAUTIFUL WIFE


PLENTY OF TIME TO REFLECT ON THIS RHYME
AND SEE THE MEANING IT BRINGS
AND TO FIND IN LIFE WHAT YOU LOVE
AND BE GRATEFUL FOR THOSE BEAUTIFUL THINGS

VICTORIA GIVES WOMEN
THE GREEN LIGHT
AT WALK CROSSINGS NOW
WOMEN ARE ALRIGHT


AS YOU CROSS THE ROAD
STILL LOOK BOTH WAYS
BUT THERE IS NOW A WOMEN
SO YOU MAY NEVER STRAY

IT'S INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY
FOR THE FAIRER ***
THEY ARE INCREDIBLY MOTIVATED
AND SIMPLY THE BEST


THEY CAN HAVE A CAREER
AND RAISE A FAMILY AS WELL
THEY HAVE PASSIONATE DEDICATION
AND A LOT OF WISDOM  TOO TELL


THEY HAVE A CARING HEART
AND A SENSUAL TOUCH
THEY CARE FOR THEIR CHILDREN
THAT THEY LOVE SO MUCH


IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY THERE
DETERMINATION TO SUCCEED IS VERY STRONG
SO LETS ALL WORK TOGETHER
SO WE MAY ALL GET ALONG

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DESTROYS
YOUR HEART MIND AND SOUL
IT TAKES YOUR PRIDE
YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR GOALS


YOU FEEL HELPLESS AND
CONFRONTED AND TERRIBLY ALONE
IF YOU ARE NOT TO AFRAID
YOU MAY SEEK HELP ON THE PHONE


YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
REALLY DON'T KNOW YOUR PAIN
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW
SHOULD YOU GO OR REMAIN


IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT
YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING WRONG
YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD NOT STAY
WHERE YOU DON'T BELONG


YOU MUST THINK OF YOURSELF
AND YOUR PRECIOUS KIDS
IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THAT
YOUR PARTNER IS ON THE SKIDS


THE PERPETRATORS OF THIS VIOLENCE
SHOULD BE HELD TO ACCOUNT
BEFORE THEIR UNTOLD DAMAGE
REALLY BEGINS TO MOUNT


SO LOOK INSIDE YOUR SOUL
AND GATHER YOUR STRENGTH
FOR YOUR PASSION MUST BE TRUE
AND YOUR COMMITMENT HAVE LENGTH


SO WHEN YOU DECIDE TO LEAVE
YOUR SOUL WILL SORE
FOR YOUR KIDS AND YOU
WILL BE FREE FOREVER MORE

TEACHERS ARE MENTORS AND ROLE
MODELS IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY
PASSING ON WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE
IN THE MOST CARING WAY


IN THIS TURBULENT WORLD THAT
OUR YOUNG KIDS FACE TODAY
THEY NEED MENTORS OF STRENGTH
SO IT IS HARDER FOR THEM TOO STRAY


FOR THERE ARE PEER GROUPS
THE INTERNET SNAP CHAT AS WELL
THERE IS THE INFORMATION OVER LOAD
AND FUN STORIES TO TELL


GONE ARE THE DAYS OF ROMPER ROOM
MR SQUIGGLE AND THE FLOWER *** MEN
NOW OUR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL
HAVE TO LEARN AND DEFEND


BUT SOME LUCKY STUDENTS HAVE
COMPASSIONATE TEACHERS THAT ARE NEW
WITH SKILLS AND WISDOM
THAT THEY SHARE WITH YOU

A MAN WILL DO
WHAT A MAN WILL DO
A LADY WILL DO WHATEVER

A MAN THINKS HE IS SMARTER
BUT A LADY IS ALWAYS CLEVER


A MAN THINKS HE IS THE BOSS
A LADY WORKS FROM WITHIN
A MAN WANTS WHAT HE WANTS
A LADY WANTS TO CHANGE HIM


BUT IF A MAN IS TO GROW
THEN A LADY MUST KNOW
WHAT REALLY  GOES ON INSIDE HIM

MUSIC IS A PASSION
THAT FILLS YOUR HEART
IT REMINDS YOU OF A MEMORY
RIGHT FROM THE START


THE RHYTHM THE LYRICS
THE TUNE THE BEAT
BRINGS A SMILE TO YOUR FACE
AND MAKES YOU TAP YOUR FEET


IT HAS HEART AND SOUL
AND RHYTHM AND BLUES
WHEN YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC
IT MAKES YOU BRAND NEW


SO IF YOU ARE FEELING DOWN
OR FEELING REALLY ALONE
JUST LISTEN TO A SONG
AND IT WILL TAKE YOU HOME

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS NOW ACCUSING
OBAMA OF A LISTENING EAR
PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS OBAMA
WAS GETTING JUST  TO NEAR


WHEN TRUMP WAS IN TRUMP TOWER
THE GREAT TOWER OF POWER
OBAMA ALLEGEDLY TAPPED  THE PHONES
IN THE GREAT TOWER OF POWER


IT IS NOW TRUMP GATE
AND NOT REALLY WATER GATE
LETS WAIT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE

TRUMP ON THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN
IT WAS THE HILLARY EMAIL SCANDAL
NOW TRUMP HAS EMAIL SCANDALS OF HIS OWN
IS HE ABLE TO HANDLE


MIKE PENCE USED PRIVATE EMAILS
AND CHATS WITH THE RUSSIANS
WILL THIS LEAD TO NOT CHATS
BUT INTENSE MAJOR DISCUSSIONS


JEFF SESSIONS LIED UNDER OATH
NOW HE IS STEPPING AWAY WILL THE
TRUMP PRESIDENCY HANDLE THE PROBLEMS
AND REMAIN TOO LEAD FOR ANOTHER DAY

WASHINGTON IRVING WROTE A NOVEL
ABOUT ICHABOD CRANE
LITTLE SLEEPY HOLLOW
WILL NEVER BE THE SAME

LITTLE SLEEPY HOLLOW WAS CURSED
BY A HORSEMAN MOST DREAD
HE WAS RIDING IN SLEEPY HOLLOW
IN SEARCH OF HIS HEAD

THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN WAS
IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR
SO FOR HIM SEARCHING FOR HIS HEAD
WAS NEVER A CHORE

ICHABOD CRANE WAS
A TEACHER MOST STRICT
WEATHER THE GHOST STORIES WERE TRUE
WHO COULD EVER PREDICT

ICHABOD TEACHES THE CHILDREN
OF FARMERS IN THE VILLAGE
BUT ITS THE YOUNG GIRLS OF FARMERS
HE SECRETLY WANTS TOO PILLAGE

KATRINA VAN TASSEL A
BEAUTIFUL YOUNG STUDENT
ICHABOD FALLS IN LOVE WITH HER
BUT WAS IT VERY PRUDENT

HE WAS INVITED TO THE TASSELS
FOR A PARTY MOST RARE
KATRINA AT THE PARTY
DISMISSES HIS WITHOUT CARE

ICHABOD LEAVES THAT NIGHT
ON HIS HORSE HE RIDES
ITS AN EERILY DARK PATH
HIS HORSE DOSE STRIDE

ICHABOD IS SCARED AND SEES
A LARGE DARK MAN
HE YELLS TO THE STRANGER
AS LOUD AS HE CAN

SO ICHABOD RIDES SCARED AND FAST
BUT ALONG SIDE COMES THE MAN
NOT WILLING TOO PASS

ICHABOD NOTICES THE RIDER
REALLY HAS NO HEAD
THIS JUST FILLS ICHABOD
WITH THE MOST SINFUL DREAD

ICHABOD AND THE STRANGER
RACE TO THE TOWN CHURCH
FOR THIS IS WHERE THE GHOST STORIES
FIRST CAME TO BIRTH

ICHABOD RACES TO THE BRIDGE
AND NERVOUSLY LOOKS BACK
THE STRANGER HAS DISAPPEARED
OFF THE GHOSTLY TRACK

BUT HE NOTICES THE STRANGER
HIS HEAD HE DOSE HURL
ICHABOD FALLS OF THE HORSE
HIS WORLD IS IN A WHIRL

THE NEXT DAY ICHABOD'S
HORSE FINALLY RETURNS HOME
WHERE IS ICHABOD
WHERE DID HE ROAM

THEY LOOK FOR ICHABOD
AND FIND HOOF PRINTS
AND ICHABOD'S HAT
SO NOW THE FOLKLORE IS BORN
IN SLEEPY HOLLOW THAT'S THAT

" WISDOM IS LIKE MANURE IT'S NO GOOD UNLESS IT'S SPREAD AROUND ENCOURAGING OTHERS TO GROW"

IN LONDON LONG AGO
PEOPLE WERE BEING KILLED
AND THE PUBLIC DIDN'T KNOW


WHO WAS JACK THE RIPPER YOU ASK
THE BOBBIES AT THE TIME
WERE ALL BROUGHT TO TASK


A MAN NAMED ABILENE
INVESTIGATED THE CASE
HE AND HIS MEN
BEGAN THE CHASE


IN 1888 ALL THIS OCCURRED
THE EVIDENCE AND SUSPECTS
HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BLURRED


THE KILLINGS WERE GRUESOME
THE VICTIMS WERE SLAUGHTERED
FATHERS LOST SONS
MOTHERS LOST DAUGHTERS


MANY SUSPECTS CAME TO PASS
BUT JACK WAS NEVER CAUGHT
WHO WAS JACK THE RIPPER
NOW CONCLUSIONS CAN BE SOUGHT


SO THE KILLINGS WILL REMAIN A MYSTERY
TILL THE END OF TIME
WAS HE A DESCENDENT OF YOURS
OR A RELATIVE OF MINE

I LOVE MY POEMS I
USUALLY COMPOSE AT NIGHT
I LOVE THIS COMMUNITY
HERE ON THIS SITE


FOR WHEN YOU EXPRESS YOUR
HEART AND SOUL IN RHYME
YOU TRY TOO GIVE A GLIMPSE
OF YOUR THOUGHT S AT THAT TIME


MY POEMS EXPRESS A THOUGHT OR IDEA
A MEMORY OR A PERSON
WHO I LOVE SO DEAR


I AM GLAD I HAVE FOLLOWERS
AND A COLLECTION OF LIKES
AS WE SAY HERE IN AUSTRALIA
CONTINUE COMPOSING
AND GET ON YOU BIKE

TO BE A LEADER YOU MUST
LEAD FROM THE HEART
HAVE A COMMITMENT TO YOUR DREAM
AND HAVE CONVICTION FROM THE START


YOU MUST ALWAYS INSPIRE PEOPLE
AND BE THE STRENGTH IN YOUR TEAM
IF YOUR JOURNEY IS TOO STRAY
ALWAYS COME BACK TO YOUR DREAM


YOU MUST NEVER SWET THE SMALL STUFF
AND STAY FOCUSED ON YOUR TASK
BE TRUE TO ALL YOUR ANSWERS
IF QUESTIONS ARE EVER ASKED


NEVER SPEAK A WORD OF DOUBT
ALWAYS ENCOURAGE WITH YOUR WORDS
BUILD UP OTHER CHARACTERS
TO MAKE A BETTER WORLD


BUT THE ONE THING YOU MUST DO
IS ALWAYS BE TRUE TO YOURSELF
OR YOU WILL WIND UP JUST ANOTHER
BROKEN DREAM ON THE SHELF

PRESIDENT TRUMPS SPEECH TO CONGRESS
IS POWERFUL STRONG AND TRUE
PUTTING AMERICA FIRST WITH
STRENGTH AND CONVICTION RENEWED


HE FINALLY HAS A PRESIDENTS STRENGTH
AND SPEAKING FROM THE HEART
PUTTING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST
THE NEW AMERICA WILL NOW START


HE DELIVERED A SPEECH GOOD FOR AMERICA
AND FOR THE WORLD NATIONS TO
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMPS VISION
IS MADE FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU

BILL PAXTON HAS PASSED AWAY
HE WAS IN THE ORIGINAL TERMINATOR
NOT STAR WARS NOT DIE HARD
NOT EVEN THE MIGHTY GLADIATOR

HIS CAREER WAS OVER 40 YEARS
A LOT OF HIS FILMS WERE MADE
ALIENS TWISTER AND TITANIC
NONE OF THEM WERE IN THE SHADE


HE WILL GO DOWN AS AN ACTOR OF NOTE
APPEARING IN MEMORABLE ROLES
HE WAS A GREAT ACTOR
WHO'S STARRING CREDITS
WILL NEVER LOOSE THERE SOUL

I HAVE A CONNECTION TO
HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN
MY POEM FOR HER 90TH
IN HER REPLY SHE HAS SEEN

MY POETRY BOOK OF
QUEENSLAND OUR BEAUTIFUL STATE
IS GRACING THE HALLS
OF BUCKINGHAM PLACE


SO I DO BELIEVE I NOW
CAN DEDICATE THIS RHYME
TO A BEAUTIFUL LADY
WITHIN THIS MOMENT IN TIME

WARREN BEATTY AND FAY DUNAWAY
GET THE WINNERS ENVELOPE
THE WRONG PICTURE WAS AWARDED
CAN THE OSCARS COPE


LALA LAND WAS THE WINNER
BUT IT WASN'T REALLY AT ALL
THE ORGANISERS GOT IT WRONG
THEY REALLY DROPPED THE BALL


IN 89 YEARS OF ACADEMY AWARDS
THIS IS THE GREATEST MISTAKE
IT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY
AND GIVE THE OSCARS A SHAKE

THE LONELY KITTY

I AM A STRAY KITTY
PLEASE DON'T LET ME ROAM
I NEED A LOVING FAMILY
AND A PLACE TO CALL HOME


I HAVE BEEN ROAMING THE STREETS
SO VERY LATE AT NIGHT
ALL THE PUPPIES BARK AT ME
AND GIVE ME A FRIGHT

THE DOGGY MOGGY

A CAT IS A KITTY
A DOG IS A DOGGY
A DOG IS NOT A CAT
AND A CAT CAN BE A MOGGY

A CAT IS CUDDLY
A DOG IS CUTE
BUT WHEN BOTH ARE TOGETHER
IT IS A REAL HOOT

THE 89TH ACADEMY AWARDS
THE OSCARS ARE HERE
CELEBRATING OUR GREAT FILMS
AND THE ACTORS SO DEAR


AUSTRALIA THIS YEAR HAS
AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY
TOO SCORE SOME OSCARS
WITHOUT ANY IMMUNITY


THE IN MEMORIAM WILL BE
A DEDICATION TO LEGENDS LOST
2016 WAS AN AGGRESSIVE YEAR
AT THE OSCARS WE COUNT THE COST

THE TRUMP CHRONICLES WILL BE
A VERY BEST SELLER FOR SURE
50 POEMS ON THE RISE OF TRUMP
CONTROVERSY INTRIGUE AND MORE


THE AMERICAN PRESS WILL BE OVERWHELMED
ON AN AUSSIES POETS VIEW
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE MAY NOT AGREE
THE BOOK WILL NEED A REVIEW


BUT ONE THING IS FOR SURE
THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY WILL CHANGE THE WORLD
AND PUT US ON A DIFFERENT TRACK

SO LETS HOPE AMERICA WILL STAY FOCUSED
AND PREVENT A WORLD ATTACK

TRUMPS NUCLEAR FALLOUT HE
WANTS TO BE TOP OF THE PACK
TO HAVE THE MOST MISSILES
JUST IN CASE OF ATTACK


USA CHINA AND RUSSIA
NORTH KOREA AS WELL
WHY NOT HAVE THOUSANDS OF MISSILES
TOO BLOW US ALL TO HELL


LETS HOPE THE BUILD UP WONT
CAUSE TO MUCH TENSION
SOMETHING THAT  I HAVE TO SAY
PEACE SHOULD BE THE INTENSION

I COMPOSED A POEM ABOUT
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP
MY ADMIRER THINKS I AM ASININE

MY HEART WAS HURT
MY SOUL WAS TORN
MAYBE THEY WILL HEAL
WITH THE PASSING OF TIME


I JUST COMPOSE POEMS ON WHAT I SEE
AND I AM GLAD THEY EVOKE EMOTION
I WONDER WHAT MY TRUMP BOOK WILL REVEAL
FROM WAY ACROSS THE OCEAN

DONALD TRUMP BANS THE PRESS
FROM ANY WHITE HOUSE NEWS
THIS IS AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION
FOR THE PRESS TOO EXPRESS THERE VIEWS



FOR 200 YEARS THE WASHINGTON PRESS
HAVE LET THE PUBLIC KNOW
A FACTUAL LOOK AT THE WHITE HOUSE
AND ALL THE POLITICIANS THAT ARE ON SHOW



SO NOW PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL NOT TELL
THE PRESS BUT ONLY DO HIS TWEETS
FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WILL ONLY KNOW
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WONT EXCEPT DEFEAT

A PLANE CRASH AT ESSENDON AIRPORT
AMERICAN TOURIST LIVES LOST
HERE IN AUSTRALIA ON A GOLFING TRIP
NOW THEIR FAMILIES COUNT THE COST

MEN OF CHARACTER AND STRONG STATURE
WITH A VARIED LIFE TRAVELLED
LOOSING THERE LIVES WHILE ON THIS TRIP
NOW THERE FAMILIES LIVES ARE UNRAVELED

OUR HEARTS ARE VERY HEAVY
OUR THOUGHTS ARE DEFINITELY WITH YOU
LETS HOPE THE FAMILIES MEMORIES
COMFORT THEM AS THEY DO

WHATS IN A NAME

IS IT  PRIME MINISTER TRUMBLE
OR PRESIDENT OF AUSTRALIA
THE WHITE HOUSE IN AMERICA
REALLY HAS ALOT OF PARAPHERNALIA

WE ARE THE BEST FRIEND
THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL KNOW
WHILE TACKLING THE WORLDS ISSUES
TOGETHER GIVING IT A GO

YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF
REALLY WHATS IN A NAME
IF AMERICA GETS IT WRONG
IS THERE REALLY ANY SHAME
