A Wren's nest is the closest
construction in nature, that
resembles an Eskimo's Igloo.

Incidentally, an IG is a house
without a Loo, but in the Arctic

Let's all go to Doppio's,
sit under the trees, while
listening to the Cicadas.

Order a bottle of waiter,
watch the staff take orders,
pretend we're going to eat.

Then, after two hours, the
manager comes out to tell
us, " It's a wrap "

We all fold our napkins,
leave in an orderly fashion,
go home, abuse Trip Advisor ™
Doppio's is an outside waiting room
for people who suffer from Amnesia.

This Christmas I am going
to set a trap for Santa Claus.

My mother leaves a red apple
on the windowsill for Rudolf

And a bottle of Harp Lager
with a slice of cake for Santa.

While everyone's sleeping, I
am going the empty some of

The beer and put a strong
quick acting laxative inside.

By the time he gets to my
cousins, he will have diarrhoea.

It will put an end to his deliveries
and give poor old Rudolf a break.

Last night I dreamt that
someone left my Waterman™
with its nib exposed on a desk.

I went to create something but
it was dry as indeed the bottle
of writing fluid.

This morning I woke, came to
the computer, but nothing in
my head to compose, so this.

No truer shpake ever shpoken.

Which is why there are no windows in Casino’s.
We do and did feel guilty for not participating
in life. But we never killed a shadow by turning
off the light or left a thirst unquenched by an
open fire and we sang when it was our turn and made
our road home by the longest way round talking
to every dog on the pavement and illuminating our
faces with Maguire and Patterson’s red heads.
But what is more important than all of that is we
are still here because the same now dangles on
the pendulums of eternal dreamers. Sure what
could be wrong with that?

Listen to the Herd,

No beef with Britain.

The Truth
About Lucey.


Look at that knife,
out on the street,

carnivore carcasse
dripping red meat.

Beside, a fair lady
she’s ever so neat,

Dressed for a ball
from top to her feet.

She’s Lucey and pretty
not there just to greet,

She’s a rustler at night
she does five every week.

On Saturday she sharpens
the knives by a creek,

On Sunday there’s mass
When after they're meek.

They talk of good Lucey
in a low kind of speak,

It is always their mystery
as to why she's so sleek.

Then home for the roast
the end of week treat,

But nobody knows from
who's lamb they eat!

It is where voices rend
It is where elbows bend
it is where shoulders meet
It is where eyes greet
It is where hands shake
It is where rogues rake
It is where cards shuffle
It is where coats duffel
It is where boards dart
It is where fights start
It is where some lend
It is where nights end.

    aback on hearing that

Yuck, is all I have to say,
Anish has made a ******

add that when it was an

an Emperor, when it was

it is a mere Country, it is
ruled by ****, like this (|)

The fairy queen has waved the
wand, no choice for us to pick

Roll up your sleeves, put forth
your arms, it's just a little nick

Yet no one knows ,what's in the sting
or what this voodoo serum will bring

We are the island of Saints & Scholars
propped up by evil snakes in Dollar$

Our Airport at Shannon is a Nato Den
an en route pitstop for US servicemen

We are known as the puppet nation
they pull strings & control our inflation

So now they tell us to take their Jab
a microsoft liquid from Hells Gates Lab

We of the island who wish to go forth
must be injected for the passport

Some of us know it is all but a scam
but we are the achilles, of Ankle Sam.

I would never expect
to find her in unread
emails thrash or spam.

Favourites inbox drafts,
certainly not return to
sender, a definite no.

So, when there is no
mail one can but deduce
that she's still sleeping.

I would love to give her
a ring, but that poses a
problem, she's married.

No day passes without
me thinking about her.

If thoughts were visible
I would be in big trouble.

I don't sleep walk, even
if I did, she's too far away.

But I do dream vocally,
that will be my undoing.

There are no novels,
no fiction neither, but
actual, camouflaged.

Material for verse
comes not from the
ether, but a muse.

Therein she hides
masked by a suitor
lover to laureate.

Make believe being
fantasy of imagination
given reality in life.

Hiding her on a page
in a maze of words,
iambic pentametre.

She rhymes with his
reason, reads about her
secret self, unknowingly.

Sometimes in simile a
metaphor an anagram
or a figure of speech.

She is spoken of in
her own presence yet
invisible to the crowd.

A creative influence,
a stimulus a deliberate
consideration.

She is nocturnal, a
silent presence felt
in times of solitude.

She’s 'ånne enigma'
thinks she doesn’t
exist, insignificant.

Has he created an
illusion, a mirage, or
a romantic concoction.

He is an avid follower
but does not think he
he subsists for her ?

First off, how can Israel
tout to be secular when
they state that it is the
promised by God, land.

Secondly, how can 30%
of the Jewish residents
therein (who claim to be

Thirdly, there is no place
for atheism either, as is
professed by another 12%

   Don’t you find it odd

    Yet, they KNOW

    Russia has them

   for sure, but being

    the usual school

  bully cowards, they

backed down when

they were confronted.


This has typically been

a British and American

modus operandi for as

long as we can recall.

But at last, Putin has

.               Anonymous Horse


Today I launched the lonely horse club.

On the way to La Haye we stopped the

car and I played une chanson au cheval.


Should we give it a name this chestnut

with a mane partially covering one sad

eye and ears drooped over a long face?


Solitary in a field devoid of trees, not a

makeshift lean-to nor rivulet nor stream

nor an adjacent herd of mooing charolais.


   My serenade was a soliloquy to an

audience of one, a rendition which was

endeavouring to banish abandonment.


Oh, preoccupied blinkered people, as

you progress past gated enclosures,

   pause for a heavy hearted horse.

For the very first time in
Ferdinand’s egotistical
Narcissistic misogynistic
Life, he paused to reflect
Whilst ruminating close to
The fence if his ostracism.

Daisy was grazing not too
Far off, close enough for
Him to admire her teats.
It was only then, as he was
Cogitating, he thought it high
time to recognise udders day.

I shall begin this poem
in the clockwise direction.

Just so the reader is aware
that the writer isn't a contra.

Love is the Antithesis of selfishness,
just as an Antonym is to the synonym.

Anti is the most frequently used word
in every language since the end of WW2.

Anti ****** was the original contraceptive
the voluntary pulling out procedure.

It is what the Israeli's did in Dublin because
they said that the Irish were Anticlimactic.

Now it has moved all along the
top line letters to the left and
stopped on the Q of QWERTY.

  Polite, obviously it is literate.

Fortunately it's gone or I would
not have been able to press that
key. Wait!, it has just crossed over
to the figure 1 and now it is in the
corner currently standing still
on the [esc] button, and yes, it
moved away quickly around the
back of the lid. Give me a second
and I’ll take a look

Can you believe this, it is stopped
