safari weasel
WILLIAM WORTHLESS
Feb 2014
there was a little weasel he was safari bound
he took a trip to Africa to the jungle ground
took his little case and a spyglass to
to take a closer look and a better view
now weasel he was ready his safari had begun
deep inside the jungle looking for some fun
there were lots on animals tigers and lots more
and some very odd ones he never saw before
there were lots of monkeys swinging in the trees
jumping branch to branch swinging with such ease
halfway through the jungle he heard a little yell
where ever it was coming from he really couldnt tell
he got out his spyglass and had a look around
to see if he could find this little yelling sound
suddenly he saw a little crocodile
he was very sad and been there a while
crocodile saw weasel and he began to cry
weasel was upset and asked the reason why
i am in a trap he said that someone laid for me
dont worry said the weasel i will set you free
weasel he was clever he knew what to do
through the trap of rope he began to chew
crocodile was happy he was trapped no more
now he had his freedom like he did before
weasel he returned from his holdiday
and thinks about the crocodile every single day
he took a trip to Africa to the jungle ground
took his little case and a spyglass to
to take a closer look and a better view
now weasel he was ready his safari had begun
deep inside the jungle looking for some fun
there were lots on animals tigers and lots more
and some very odd ones he never saw before
there were lots of monkeys swinging in the trees
jumping branch to branch swinging with such ease
halfway through the jungle he heard a little yell
where ever it was coming from he really couldnt tell
he got out his spyglass and had a look around
to see if he could find this little yelling sound
suddenly he saw a little crocodile
he was very sad and been there a while
crocodile saw weasel and he began to cry
weasel was upset and asked the reason why
i am in a trap he said that someone laid for me
dont worry said the weasel i will set you free
weasel he was clever he knew what to do

crocodile was happy he was trapped no more
now he had his freedom like he did before
weasel he returned from his holdiday
and thinks about the crocodile every single day

The Eagle

De elevating power might
seem a futile task for a mere
earthling, disadvantaged by
stature, and of course due to
being under surveillance from
an altitude beyond reach, of
even, the imagination.
Such being the predicament
of an elderly Weasel inattentive
to the hidden dangers from an
intemperate predator soaring
directly above, just waiting to
profit from this evident dotage.
Down swooped the winged
carnivore, availing of surprise,
up-draught and velocity, it
quickly sank its talons into the
side of the disabled animal
and rose triumphantly into
the empty sky and high.
But just as possessions fall through
fingers, the winds of change were
about to reverse the tide of misfortune.
The stunned carcass, which only seconds
previously seemed as though was dead
as dead could be, suddenly posed a
problem for its captor (in flight).
Immediately, there was a notable change
of direction and a notable drop in the
flight horizontal, the big bird was visibly
in trouble, the Weasel had sunk its teeth
into the undercarriage, securing itself
from being released of the foot spikes.
The underdog was not going to go down
without a fight and there was nothing,
absolutely nothing The Eagle could do,
no negotiation, no solution other than
land, because The Weasel was not going
to let go and The Eagle was loosing fuel.
Efforts to dislodge The Weasel proved
nugatory, yet, The Weasel was prepared
to **** the Eagle in flight, a pyrrhic victory
is as democratic as one could wish for.
The Eagle had no option, down it came,
flew low along by the tree tops in an effort
to detach itself for The Weasel.
The Weasel availed of the Hobson Choice
and released itself from the breastbone
clambered on to the branches, making
its way out of the tree.
Meanwhile, The Eagle after a huge loss
of blood, left a trail along to forest floor
for The Weasel to follow
Ps.
The leech Eagle ended up in College Road
Sligo where it has a nest.
What became of it, is still unknown, but we
are sure, that The Weasel has not given up.
This is the Fable of Free Travel.

Phelisa was a Fairy Child
jeremy wyatt
Feb 2011
Phelisa was a fairy child
of bluebell stock so meek and mild
but in her heart burned flames and fire
fly into danger her desire
once old enough to learn her trade
an uneasy truce with her queen was made
ten years of duty then she is free
to choose her own true destiny
Phelisa born with eyes of fire
outflies the wind no bird flies higher
bravest of all none can compare
Phelisa you must have a care
Be careful watch your little ones
take every day just as it comes
one day the call will come to you
till then protect as we all do
Sweet human children in their beds
hover at their little heads
watching waiting keep them safe
every little human waif
What dreams a Fairy keeps within her flower-soul
and when a warrior small but splendid fair
does not hold watching weans a noble goal
spends hours adding feathers to her hair
so when she flies to battle forces grim
her visage such a terrifying sight
her countenance conveys the chances slim
that any evil will survive the fight
Phelisa where do you go?
Dreams on noble strife and deeds
draw you away to the woods,
but the child you watch is threatened
by a man who means no good
Phelisa drifted to the nursery window, tired from swinging her wee silver sword all day.
Practising her craft with the agile birds and fencing with her friends the falcons.
She was puzzled at the windows edge, she could not understand why the cot was tumbled to the floor, and why the dog howled so.
Then she smelled them, baby cries in the air, hot and sweet and frightened.
And something else Mother was cold afraid.
She cast desperately around the cottage, no sight or sound, but the smell led into the summer evening, mixed with car-smell.
Follow then, if you can little one and help you wee charge.
"I get what I want, or the baby gets hurt..."
Evil swine, all these years hiding and he found her still,
dragged them to the little Austin Seven and drove them to the middle of nowhere.
A quiet wood where noone will disturb them.
Stood there now, screaming baby in his foul fists, eyes full of lust and excitement.
He pulled them towards a small cliff, do what He wants and the child may live, all she could think off, don't and he throws the baby over the edge.
He runs on with them, but frowning, what is this at his feet,the brown of animals, small warm things keeping pace?
As they run they crush in, making him stumble, making him afraid.
He quickens his pace, strikes out, God they are everywhere get away!
He drops the child and throws the mother to the ground.
Running for his life now, running as hares and rabbits and foxes swarm around his legs and make him fall over the drop, to his death.
Phelisa comes as the Austin drives away
Too late to help her features pale and grey
She understands the debt she owes this wood
And makes a vow for its eternal good
Whatever good you did today
I will a thousand times repay
nothing will enter in this wood
that does not come with dreams of good
No beasts each other here will slay
tooth and claw you each will stay
within the confines of these trees
all will live in care and ease
And I will stay with you all here
keep you free from strife and fear
to guard you for the deed of grace
when I was slow and failed the chase
In the rocks at the foot of the drop
evil dwelt
torn faced weasel, twisted and old
Mad man's spirit drawn inside
growing together in their poisoned hate
the loathing of life and love pure
biding its time
For nigh-on thirty years or more
peace reigned upon the woodland floor
beasts walked in fearless glades and rides
no need from tooth and claw to hide
but on one spring day all was fear
Phelisa why are you not near?
Flying out too far this day
following falcons she wants to play
The evil weasel it takes its chance
will lead phelisa a hellish dance
Running into the wood so sweet
pattering horde of weasel feet
heading to hunt and drag away
something small and sweet today
a baby hare they corner at last
he tries to run but cant get past
The Beast with relish starts to whet
his appetite on this leveret
Carry him back then to your lair
frightened meat will taste so fair
down with us among the stones
all we leave will be his bones
Our fairy comes and sees the scene
the fright and fear where they have been
Her vow she has to still uphold
or die as she tries it to uphold
Racing to the weasel's den
at the dark place of the glen
sees the last one running in
sees the hatred and their sin
But at the entrance of the burrow
her fire eyes dim and smooth brows furrow
the weasel entrance is so slim
her Fairy wings won't let her in
But in her burns a fire so bright
nothing will deter her fight
so kneeling in pain she softly sings
as mother -hare bits off her wings
In the deep dark dread is there
terror of the little hare
evil circles all around
forcing it down to the ground
but as the teeth are reaching out
hear the smallest hero shout
"No blood will spill of this sweet thing
my spear and sword and heart I bring
I gladly give my life today
to see this young hare run away"
srtiking silver blade of light
held with all her strength and might
Arthur himself or Great Glyndwr
would not have swung their blades the truer
battles hard and battles dread
blood and bites and screeching dead
all the time she fights them back
not one gets past with its attack
then only one is waiting still
the evil spirit hard to ****
her fairy blood runs down her hair
blurs the fairy face so fair
" You tire and I will **** you soon,"
the weasel spoke an evil tune
But fairy strength is hard judge
and this wee one did bear a grudge
"You took my baby in the past
I failed to reach him flying fast
was not enough but creatures here
they rescued him from pain and fear.
Now I repay them with this life
and cut you with my silver knife
my spear of dandelion form
I plunge into your deadly form
my wings I lost to pay this debt
the ****** back I feel the wet
The pain I carry will all pale
as your foul heart I do impale!"
Her deed was done her battle won
returned the frightened hare's wee son
so proud and fierce a Fairy Queen
The bravest one the world has seen
Epilogue
The terrier and the Rotteweiler were in a frenzy
running wild, tearing at the sheep in a passion of hate
Then the scent of fresh young blood a child
racing over towards the sleeping parents and the wandering baby
the terrier got ahead straining for first blood
Then whispering voices
Tumbling sky flowers pain and blood stillness
Puzzled as it died fairies small and winged crowded its corpse
Blood dripped from their spears.
The Rottweiler drew close, ready to tear them all apart.
Behind them was a hare, armoured with wood and gold, spikes of silver armour, a Fairy Queens gift.
Astride it, scarred-faced and wingless, the old wise fairy sat smiling.
" Stand aside ladies, this one is mine...."
