I was stunned to hear the news that the Great and Loved Comedian had died Robin Williams age 63, I feel at a loss for adequate words.
I never got to meet him face to face, but I had much laughter inspired by his works in films and on TV his face and voice were Familiar to me.
I first discovered him when I was a  mere child when he was on Mork on Mork and Mindy. He played an alien, I bet that role was kind of fun.
I remember seeing him in Good Morning Vietnam, watching it in the Movie theater, via the big movie screen, He seemed somehow Larger than life, but loved the laughter he inspired.
I remember him in Dead Poets Society and Good Will Hunting to name a few.
I think he gained some more popularity and hilarity in his role in Mrs. Doubtfire .
I Loved watching him in Patch Adams playing a doctor treating people a bit unconventionally.
I remember him as the Voice of genie in Aladdin
I remember him in The Night At the Museum movies  
I feel the loss of him is quite a tragedy
He will be greatly missed
I will remember the laughs his works caused
I found out today 8/11/2014 that Robin Williams has died of a suspected suicide.  I feel this is a great loss of a  Comic Genius.
I wish I could offer condolences to his family. I felt some tribute should be made. I know this is not quite fitting enough for him.
I feel struck with grief for his family and all his fans, of which I am one.
"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for." - John Keating, Dead Poets Society (1989)

*As a child I loved you Mork, as an adult you taught me the fine line between laughter and despair.

funny boy
did you wait
till it was too late
hurry hurry
worry worry
you took life
in big giant bites
and then had to stop
to break
only when you
defeated yourself
hurry hurry
worry worry
but even then
after breaking
you got up and overcame
your life and art were amazing and never the same
race hard then fall or stall
and then
once again
get up
and give it your all
you did it
again and again
be extraordinary
hurry hurry
worry worry
never the same
look how you overcame

Good Will Hunting
Dead Poets
Jumanji
Mork from Ork
Patch Adams
Awakenings with De Niro
Aladdin
Death to Smoochy
Insomnia
Peter Pan
Mrs Doubtfire
Good Morning Vietnam
Jakob the Liar

hurry hurry
worry worry
I have to stop
not because I am out of art
there are many more
but because my fingers
are tired of typing titles

Peter Pan
you stayed young
fought the dark
and won many triumphs
again and again
hurry hurry
worry worry
you ran an amazing race
and a pace for two lifetimes
in the end the dark caught you
but you left behind
a mark of amazing art

I tried to write a lullaby
With a 70's theme of sorts
Kids drinking Sunny "D" in their jammies
Girls in Mindy, Boys in Mork

But that's as far as I could get
This dried up crinkly brain stays in a daze
So I picked up the phone, dialed up some friends
In hopes of a friendly Friday night game of charades

Of course Sylvester brought his Ouija board
He thinks with the other side he's in tune
I hate to break it to Houdini here
But I think he's inhaled to many fumes

My friends say that I'm just paranoid
Like a jester without a court
So I turn and apologize to Sylvester
Okay dude, pull out the board

We place our fingers on the Doohickey
Or is that the Thingamajig
Redrum, Redrum, Redrum, is all that it spells
As Sylvester has a fit

He knocks the game table over
And screams it's that movie, The Shining all over again
This is ****** spelled backwards people
As the smell of the dead blows in on the wind

In all of the dark spirit world excitement
I think I even ***'d myself
I suggest in a manly way with a wet spot on the front of my Bell Bottom jeans
That we put the Ouija board back up on the shelf

I really wasn't expecting an evening
Of doom and gloom and tombs and such
I think I'll go back to writing that 70's lullaby
If you don't mind...thank you very much
In no way do I suggest anyone play around with a Ouija board. They are pure evil. But back in the early 70's they were very popular and sold in toy stores. My parents bought me one when I was in the 7th grade and I still can't believe to this day they did.

A poem remembering Actor Robin Williams of whom he was
The tears behind the smile
At times being serious for awhile
His acting career spans throughout the years
Secretly in Mr. William’s life, there were some fears
Yet throughout his despair, he was able to preserver
Robin Williams brought energy to the television screen
Also new meaning to the stage in being a bling
Mork and Mindy one of the many series he was in
Each passing acting line in begin and continuing until when
Space being ever so far from home
But on Earth it was Mindy who helped Mork roam
Who could forget the feeling Robin Williams brought in that accelerating role
His humor was observe and behold
Robin Williams was his own Entertainment Tonight
His spirit in personality of delight
Robin Williams chosen words in wanting to be heard
His involvement in causes that affected us all
Robin Williams answered to a distant call
The world mourns an actor of talent
In his honor, let's have a code of silent
Robin Williams you will be sadly missed
It’s like a heritage closing school and we are now dismissed
Thanks for making me laugh
Thanks for making me forget being sad
Thanks for helping me to see every day in being glad
Your red carpet is in the Heavenly skies
Your talent has captivated us in being wise
The Heavens adore and its your fans who applaud.
CELEBRITY STAR OF HUMOR AND LAUGHTER
Craig Harrison Aug 2014
I heard the news on Facebook
I paid my respects on Twitter
you played so many great characters
to many to list them all
but my favorites were
Bicentennial Man
What Dreams May Come
Flubber
Jumanji
Mrs. Doubtfire
Hook
Mork & Mindy

You were truly amazing
one of the greats
the world will not be the same with out you
R.I.P Mr Robin Williams
R Dickson Jan 2015
You brought us so much happiness,
You taught us how to laugh,
You brought us Mork and Mindy,
Didn't do comedy by half,

Popeye the spinach eating sailor,
Patch Adams' squeaky shoes,
Happy films made for kids,
Childhood's not to lose,

Things we didn't understand,
About your private life,
About the drink and drugs,
And depression that was rife,

The day that comedy died,
The day you took your life,
The family that will miss you,
The sadness of your wife.
BUDDHA DOES THIS, IT SOUNDS ****** AWFUL, BUT BUDDHA'S HANDS ARE TIED
HE COULD **** DADS NEXT LIFE LIKE HE KILLED DAD, IT'S AWFUL, BUT LIFE ISN'T

Ted Scheck Aug 2014
Oh, Mork.
****.
Genius-Madness
Oh-so-Sad Sadness.
Anger-Danger
Rage and Gladness
I am so sorry
The flip-side of your
Brilliantly Cre8tiv
Coin landed
Down.

What is beyond Genius?
That fine razor's edge,
Where they both dance and
Flirt on the demarcation
Line, spinning, control,
Out of, in, and out.
Who knew what it was
Like to be you?

There are those who knew
You, and loved you, and
Appreciated you. I'm creative
Like you like slugs are to
***** whales. Life's
Images can hit your eyes
So hard they leave dents.
People's words can sound
Like world condem-
Nation.
Tho I never met you,
You felt comfortable enough
To be a virtual-friend.
Spirit kindred.
Hero, if I am allowed
To use the correct
Context.

You were the Mt. Everest
Of Comedy, Improv, Stand-
Up and Delivery. Not impossible
To reach, but the effort, the extra
Ordinary effort to slow your
Einstein brain capacity so that
The rest of us could try to catch
A glimpse of the train
That was your life zooming
By.

I'm sorry your pain and misery
And anguish and the hole
You were in were finally
To massive to bear.
You will be missed,
Dearly,
Dear Mr. Robin Williams.
John F McCullagh Aug 2014
We knew only your laughter which won you renown.
We never observed the tears of our clown.

You entered our homes as the loveable Mork;
with Your razor sharp wit and lightning fast thought.

Your movies mixed laughter with serious turns;
Good Will earned you an Oscar For which many yearn.

There were personal demons that proved hard to hide.
A divorce, an affair, Drugs and rehab besides.

But, through it all, We heard only the laughter.
Not the tears of our Clown that brought on this disaster.

To us you were Robin, Like Peter Pan, just a kid.
May this sleep bring you peace that your days never did.
R.I.P. Robin Williams, a great man
Mike Hauser Apr 2015
Whilst perusing the internet
I happened upon a shopping site that
You could order the strangest kind
Of anything you find online

Like...

Dogs that talk
Pigs that fly
Birds that burp
Fish that sigh
Cows that cackle
Giraffes that might
drive your car
if you would like
Orangutans
with manicures
Floating souls
from the underworld
Ginsu knives
that slice and dice
A circus clown
that isn't nice
Chewing gum
that once was chewed
By the infamous
Mr.Magoo
A politician
that tells the truth
that is brand new
never once been used
A mirror that's
already cracked
with only six months
bad luck left
An iPod filled with
Disco tunes
A picture of Sean Penn
shooting the moon
McDonald's fries
with the salt licked off
A brown jar filled with
Whooping cough
A frog that comes
with its own warts
A visit from Mindy
minus Mork
A kite with only
half a tail
Escargot
that's really snail
Shorts once worn
by Daisy Duke
Scores and scores
of 70's Show tunes

Just about anything you would like
I found on this one awesome site
And desperately feeling the need
I ended up ordering one of each
Apparently this is what happens when I sit down at the computer and let my mind go....
It was fun though!

So Are You A Conformer...
Or A... Gangster Shot Caller... ?

Or The Type of Fast Talker...
Whose Talk Walks With Porters...

Or In Other Words Those...
Who Serve Those On Thrones...
And DON'T Walk The Walk...
of... All Their BIG Talk... !?!

Cos' It’s Clear Now That MANY...
Like To Talk Like Their Ready...
To Make Things Unsteady...

When It Comes To Our Lives...
And These Leaders Who Lie...
And Leave People Downsized...

So Of Course Run Their Gums...
About Being... " TOUGH "...
And How They'’ll Stand Up...
To Modern Systems...

... Until Money Comes... ?!?

And Then They CONFORM...
To... Walking The Walk...
of Clowning Like MORK... !?!
Or Souls Who’ve Been BOUGHT... !!!

Now I’m NOT Gonna Lie...
l’ve Conformed In My Life...
Simply To Survive...

But NOT To Make Money...
To Live Life... CORRUPTLY...

Cos' People Act Funny...

To Run With The Chumps...
Who Run Governments...
As Well As The Punks...
Within... Entertainment... !!!

Who Conform To Do Stuff...
That Clearly Corrupts...

Just Like Our Leaders...
And The Money They Love... !!!

A Thing That Makes Some...
Embrace Taking Drugs...
And Forsake What They CLAIM...
To Behave Like A Stray...
Whose Veered Off The Straight...

To Bend Like Chicanes...
And Start To Act Strange... !?!

It’s The Way of Today...
CONFORMING Away...
To New Gender Ways...
And This New Virus Strain...
That’s Caused Many Pain...
And Forced Us To Play...
The Masking Up Game... !?!

And YES I Mean ME...
Conforming To Please...
But Mainly To FEED...
And Avoid These Police...

And Having To Pay...
A Fine Or Face Jail... !!!

Because OBVIOUSLY...
I’d Rather Be FREE...
Than Face Life In Prison...
And Being Conditioned...
By Those Who ARE Villains... !!!

So CERTAIN Conformers...
Should Cut Their Talk Shorter...

Instead of Make CLAIMS...
That REBELLIOUS Ways...
Seem To Get Locked Away...

When THEY Are The Ones...
Who’ve Let Money Become...
What CONTROLS How They Live...
So Are Quick To Submit...
To New Age Politricks’...
That Shut Down Businesses... !!!

That Right Just Like THEIRS...
Because They’ve Conformed...
To Levels of Thought...
Where Cash Is The Source...
of Talk That They Court...
That Helps Them Breathe Air... ?!?

CONFORMING To Think...
In Ways That Are Linked...
To Something That STINKS... !!!
  
That’s RIGHT CONFORMISTS...
Who Are Clearly TOO QUICK...
To Start RUNNING THEIR LIPS... !!!

Like A Fast Mouthed Dumb Kid...
Who Cannot Raise A Fist...

Just Like John Carlos Did... !!!

A TRUE NON-Conformist... !!!

Now I’m NOTHING Like Him... !!!

But I THINK And RESIST...
Conforming Through Scripts...
And Poems I Bring...

Cos’ I’m NOT A Performer...
A Big Money Baller...
Or Gangster Shot Caller... !!!

But I Am A STRAIGHT Talker...
Whose Really NOT DOWN With...

All These NEW AGE...

..... “ Conformers “.....
As ever, inspired by a comment someone made to me, suggesting that my wearing mask in their business, showed that I am not so rebellious, but am quick to conform...

How little they know....

We all get rich, it fixes every thing, c'mon

Initial Public Offering.
Made inclusively to
all the children of all the wombed men,
but one,
by now, none else, for eons, unmarked
save in ashes under ancient tells,
none of these people, these *** of the gods,
and the one,
daughter of man who signed off on this story.

-live forever-

Thinking attracting needs,
deeds done that send funds, to wipe debt from mind.
Bring the wizard,
strip him bare, grind him  to gore and gristle,
bone blood and all the biles, shake it up,
jiggle in the sack of skin, watchit
burst and puddle
in the flame,

is this pyrex? See

Bunsen burning in my brain, a mixture now,
oh wow
Schmachten-burger, cheese, *** of enlightened
hippie jews, shapers shaped in common fashion,
after the sixties finished, there arose guides to the goy
who knew nothing of the mystery,
save that Alice Toklas was not gay, in the Nineties way

Oy-vey, cultural appropriation, Jah, Jah is ours, as you
well know, we have esoterica galore, here buy
a mezuzah, ya, gutglück - all ah, ala phylacteries
raditional-rootish,
and these use that same parchment, goat skin,
very kosher halal and all, done
under strictest supervision, seeing super see, is
something the literate,
Phoenicians, Shem shah-mans, and their accountants,
first
discovered the territory within the skull of man,
was open to other minds,
in matters of wit
inventions'nshit, set a will to a way, watch,

come the future, we are famous…
who invented the wheel?

watch, watch, it winds around, a motion, anchored
to a plain truth in the left cerebral sorting station,
reflecting back,
******-rectumly linearly right co- oh, I see

cor-rect or co-recht, co-right, if nobody's wrong.

But there is no hateful god who made hell for those
who,
honed as honed may be, in punctual efforting
so
sharp, even on thorny issues,
motes
floating in the occular consomme,
slightly briney aqueous humor,

ha

to make a point in time to pierce anything
in my way

see clear,  plumb the depths truth's base idea,
some things wish vehemently to be known,
must-er-ion, quest, ionic tipping
point whence the ring of eight
slips a point, and specs call
ion ion whither went thee?
ion, zion sion, see the gleam,
golden oil,
yes,
yes indeed, I did, I did pray
for this,
or something sorta like it,

peace on earth, good will toward man,
reconciliation complete perceived as done.

Can you hear me?
Did I lose loose links to long lies, left tied
to the stakeholders souls?

When did we realize the difference?
It must have taken years, and now, we see, match
the noses,
the eyes, or deeper even, look into the whites
of their mother's eggs…

see and know, or trust me, I know,
one wombed man's children, one,
the officially loneliest number. One
wom'man, woe,
science,
not Genesis, or Enuma Elish,
or the story from Braiding Sweetgrass,

but, old, old stories, told, once, at least,
by a witness,
-- it was as if the bone and all it was,
was altered, by a bit, a Y got a leg, or lost one,
I do not know, but bone of my bone,
was that one little bit,
more in one way, at the stem, and as branching
began, the one had daughters, who bhor daughters,
while from that generation forward,
the many others,
bore no children of any breathing form,
soon,
for this was not so long ago, mitomom, you know,
she had sisters and cousins and aunts
and a mother who had a mother
and a father who had a mother.
None
of the eggs in those wombs, ever lived to now,
but the eggs of the one wombed man we must
accept, she who shaped all after ever began
that instant when,
only one line remained, and there was no war.
No reason, at the time, but soon
in geo time,
we grew apart, branching on rivers
when we found them on our journeys from the east

- I think she
was likely deep dark brown, she links me to you,
stem cell level
and below,
logos in touch,
the code of silence. A cone, yes, the cone
of silence,
rolled from fool'scap, common in the great leaps
forward,
through the ages, as sons and daughters were born,
but
once,
something occurred,
a virus, or a leaven, or fish, perhaps,
rancid oil while the child waited for its form
to form in the wombed man, now known
as mom. She,
Mitochondrial source of the code that keeps us alive.
The same basic way batteries in blood
have been made since knowing
clickt.

Universes, realms of human reasons, piled in
lattice work bits and pieces,
joints and joiners,
that fit in particular places to form certain shapes
of things to come,
it is all very miniaturized, nano nano scale…

yes, did you know him, Mork?
I never did.

_ he does that so you don't think him arrogant,
ashamed to admit the use of the mind of christ
in a secular win the game way.

But what the hell, knowing ain't cheating, if you know
what's right,

wanna place a wager on the Robinhood IPO?
I gotta plan, see…
we go into such and such a city, we buy, we sell,
---intshallah
but this is the secret,
we sell debt,
you owe me, right, it works, it always works,
give and it is given unto you,
pressed down,
running over -- goods and services, nothing taxable
or tithe-able,
riches with no sorrow, added.

You interested? One time buy in. Two bits.
I heard the news and thought, what difference might a mote in my eye make?
Ottar Aug 2014
You made me able, to find the funny places,
The wonder and laughter on all of your faces,

you were not the only one, that made comedy fun,
you were one of comedies favourite sons.

You hid your life to the public eye,
Or was it everybody knew, but didn't pry,

I set you on a pedestal many years ago,
then you let it be known, you did not own an ego,
every laugh hid tears, every outburst disguised fears,

of alcoholism,
of depression,
of schisms,
and therapy sessions,

the mind behind Mork was human too.

Skelton,
Knotts,
Winters,
and you R.W.

Made me laugh till the tears poured from my eyes,
                                  like they did today,
In thanks, I throw words on a screen, your humour
was not always clean, but bordered on obscene,
uptight ***** sitting in chairs, laughing like they had no cares,
you gave them relief,
for a brief spell, they walk through the land mines,
not seeing your hell, thinking everything was fine.

I found your humour coarse at times, call it shock therapy,
Your improvisation was sublime, best pupil Winters never had,
in his class.

"Jack" of all trades,
master of none, except maybe
a comedy tour.

I never knew you, but I got to hear my laughter,
because of you, I never knew you, but woke up the
next day trying to remember what, I never knew your
best line was I heard, from the night before, there were so many.

We needed you to make us laugh, again.
We may not have been much help.
You needed help and humour was not enough.
You needed help and ... I am just a small town boy
in a big city, and now turning to Steve Martin for
all my laughs.
No pressure.
A tribute. An appreciation.
my dad did his best to protect me

ya see helped through my problems

he also likes the idea of keeping you safe

as well as being cool

we watched all programs together

like a country practice and mork and mindy

as well as bewitched, which was pretty cool

dad used to call if bewatched

and we used to go on a lot of camping trips

to kiama and bate mans bay

and to a few tent sites, oh yeah oh fiddly dee

i remember when we went to a new years eve party

and me and my brother were at that moment

known as the quiet kids

and i played my dice cricket game and kept my family up

dad made a comment saying how about we turn off the light

and they can appeal for the light

and me and my brother played cricket and football in the front yard

and we played sports shows as well,

i put dad in my football team CCAE

and dad when he joined in at cricket at his big long legs getting in the way

dad wasn’t a scrooge, really he was a father oh yeah mate yeah

he always spent time fixing the pool so we can have a good swim

we used to go to the show to go on the rides and get show bags

and watch the event on the track even the fireworks

dad used to put the easter eggs out at easter while we went to church

and i showed respect for him doing that, yeah that was great

you see i went to the raiders and dad always drove us home

yeah dad, you were a great mate to me

enjoy being betty

dads with barnesy now
Dad and robin singing on Jupiter

Robin'. I drank with my finger
On Mork and Mindy and I said
Good morning Vietnam really loud on the radio but now I am dead and I am jimmy Barnes's
Grandson billy and I sing working class man up here on Jupiter as well as singing driving wheels and I remember all of my comedy Shows I did on earth and I wonder what my current earth body will be when he grows up but he is showing a bit of me
Barry'. I used to be a computer nut in my old Allan family and
In the end of my life my eldest son was wanting to be famous
And if I knew that he would be satisfied with a few plays with mental health I mightn't have died but I did and now I am jimmy barnes's granddaughter
Betty and no matter what I am in this life, I might be famous
You will never know but even if I just relax while I do it rather than rushing around the world but rushing around can be fun
If you do it right
I don't want to say your like me and mummy but I was worried about the teasing back then
Despite it looking a bit weird
I just wanted the best for Brian
Back then but now I am Betty
Looking forward to enjoying my new family with David and Lisa Campbell
Robin and Barry'
Party on party on party on
The way to ****** be
If we get into the right party spirit we cab show the world how to party
Yeah our earth bodies are only young and cool but we are having fun dudes
Your like me and mummy
Neh, that life is dead

This is what I do
even when she
can't remember me

even when we
can't remember she

Like Mork

Living in reverse time
Back into a child's rhyme

I will be there
And u will be fair

I've looked into my past and seen the old she; mother & grandmother. I've looked at my future to see the young me; vagabond and motherless.

Now Sadly That’s How It Mostly Is...  
IGNORANCE... Is Truly Bliss... !?!
  
Cos’ When You Choose To THINK...
And USE Your CEREBRAL...
It Seems To Be LETHAL...
To... IGNORANT People... !!!
  
Who Switch Like Blades...
On... THINKING Brains...
Who Choose To Relate...
In Less Ignorant Ways... !!!
  
It’s Clearly Quite RARE...
For Heads To RESPECT...
Mind States Prepared...
  
To Use... Intelligence...
As Well As Common Sense...
In How They Choose To Express...
What’s Inside of Their Heads...
  
Instead of ARGUMENTS...
Bred From IGNORANCE... ?!?
  
To Express Their Views...
In Ways That Are Shrewd...
That Don’t Conclude...
In HURLING ABUSE... !!!
  
You See Many Are Confused...
So Prefer To Choose...
The IGNORANT Route...
Rather Than To Be COOL... !!!
  
And Show That Their Schooled...
In Dealing With... TRUTH... !!!
  
Instead of Choosing To Behave...
In... RIDICULOUS Ways... !?!
  
Which Is Why IGNORANCE...
Tends To Be Their Best Friend...
And Their... GO TO Vibe... !!!
  
When It Comes To The Stance...
That They Hide Behind... !!!
  
Dealing In... LIES...
That They Feed To Themselves...
As If They're The Right Guide...
To Their Minds Being Well... ?!?
  
So For Some It’s Their Wealth...
And Claiming Of Course...
To Have Knowledge of Self...
That Makes Them Feel PURE... !!!
  
And Then Of Course PRIDE...
Seems To Be Where They Find...
A Place In Their Mind...
Where They’re ALWAYS RIGHT...
  
When What THEY VIEW As STRONG...
Feeds A PONG of What’s WRONG... !!!
  
Which Is Just A Disguise...
That DENIES Being Wise...
When Life Is A Ride...
That Can Throw You Curve *****...
Pretty Much... ANY TIME...
Even When You STAND TALL... !!!
  
Cos’ Pitfalls Are A Force...
That Can Lead To Downfalls... !!!
  
That Can Cut Your Pride Short.
Like A Judgement In Court...
That Can Suddenly Put...
Your Life In Free Fall...  
  
When Judgements Are Made...
That AREN’T RIGHT AT ALL... !!!
  
So Your Standing's ERASED...
And What You Stood For...
Suddenly DOESN'T Look...
As If You’re... Quite As Good...
As You Have Projected...
To Certain Collectives...  
  
When Your Life’s INSPECTED...
As Well As... DISSECTED... !!!
  
So I Guess That It Is...
A Place Where Egos Live...
And Where Ignorance Brings...
A Way To... DISMISS...
The TRUTH About Things... !!!
  
From Being Racist...
To REFUSING To THINK...
  
BEFORE... Running Talk...
That Just Proves Your Like Mork’... !!!
  
A JOKER Whose LOCO...
Down In... ACAPULCO... !!!
  
Making... IGNORANT Quotes...
That Show That You’re Broke...
DEEP Down In Your SOUL... !!!
  
With NO Place To Go...
Other Than BRAVADO...
That Just Puts On SHOWS...
  
That Clearly EXPOSE...
The Holes In Your Roll... !!!
  
Because Holding Bank Notes...
DOESN’T Prove That You Know...
Anything More Than Dough...
And Making That Paper...
To Make You Feel GREATER...
  
Than NATURES CREATOR...  ?!?
  
So TAKE IN... THAT LYRIC...
And YES... THINK About It... !!!
  
BEFORE Running Your Lips...
And Thinking That You’re Slick...
Due To Your Heritage...
And Historical Links...
  
Are You Looking At Things...
Like How People NOW Live... ?!?
  
Vaccinated Like Pigs...
And SINNING To WIN...
To Act Like Queens And Kings...
Holding Worthless Trinkets...
  
Rather Than Help Our Kids...
To Live BETTER THAN THIS... !!!
  
If You Think That’s OKAY...
Then You Should Be ASHAMED... !!!
  
Which Is Why I Can Say...
These Things And Relate...
  
That Ignorance Links...
Itself To Some Things...
That Makes Humans Sink...
Into An... ABYSS...
  
Where Those Who Do THINK...
And Use Thought To UPLIFT...
  
Are Treated As If...
We're People Who Think...
That We Know Everything... ?!?
  
When All That We’re Really Trying To Do...
Is To Find..... BETTER ROUTES..... !!!
  
Than To Act Like Dumb Fools...
Who Are Quick To ABUSE...
When They Hear A TRUTH...
That Simply... BLOWS Their COOL... !!!
  
Which Is Why This Script’s...
Last Verse Is... THIS... !!!
  
When It Comes To How People...
Deal With Those Whose Cerebral...
Flies HIGH Like An Eagle... !!!
  
SADLY...
  
... “That’s How It Mostly Is”...
As the poem states, It's sadly not always a smooth ride, when you are one who possesses wisdom, and the type of smarts that deal in truth, that offends others.

What’s With What Comes Out...
of These... NEW AGE Clowns... !?!

ALWAYS... Talking About...
OTHER Peoples’ Grounds... ?!?
In Some VAIN Attempt...
To AFFECT... The Drag Down... !!!

You Know What I Mean... !!!

The Type of FIENDS... !!!
Whose INSECURITIES Lean...

Like The... Tower of Pisa... !!!!!!
Because Their Demeanour Is NEVER Straight... !!!!!
But That’s OKAY Because NOWADAYS....
I Let The MONKEYS... Have Their SAY... !!!

And Then Just Walk The OTHER Way... !!!!!!
Because Their TALK Just Gets Cut short...

If They Act Like MORK'...
When Orson Called... !!!

Humble But CHEEKY...
When Things They Say...
Make Attacks “So Sneaky”...

That In The End They Walk Away..........

...... “ Quietly and Meekly “......

But The PROBLEM Nowadays...
Is That MOST Now... WON’T... ?!?

And That’s NOT A JOKE... !!!!!

They KEEP ON TRYING... !!!
To Act Like LIONS... !!!!
With... NO ROAR... ?!?

Because Their Course...
Is CONTINUALLY LYING To THEMSELVES...
About Their WEALTH And Mental Health... !!!!!!!!!!!

Whilst Assessing Yours As Being Quite Poor... !!!

“Your logic's not the only one !”

“Your point I’ve got and that is true !
But, let me tell you dude, you’re being rude.
My logic is at least, LOGICAL son !
While yours would appear to lack conviction ?”

That’s How I Now Drown...
The Sounds of Mouths...
TRYING To... Use...
What I Now Conclude...

To Be... “ The Drag Down “... !!!

To HURL ABUSE As If It PROVES...
That They ARE... " COOL "...
And Hold SMART VIEWS...
That YOU SHOULD Consume... ?!?

AGREE TO DISAGREE.....

Is Now My Speech... !!!!!
Which Hardly EVER... !!!
Seems To Reach...
The Minds of Peeps’...
Who THINK They’re CLEVER... !!!

Cos' It’s CLEAR That They’re BETTER...
Than The AVERAGE GO GETTER... !!!!!
Because The... “ Drag Down “...
Is What They’ve FOUND... !!!

Serves Their EGO And Their PRIDE...
Like Luis Figo Used To SUPPLY...
THOSE... “ Barca Guys “... !!!
From NOU CAMP Touchlines... !!!!

But NEW AGE MINDS Are Touched By Lines...
In DIFFERENT Ways When HIT By Designs...
That DEFLate The Games...
They’re TRYING To PLAY... !!!!!

of... “ Skirting Round “...
Words That SURROUND...
The Bed of LIES...
In Which They LIE...

Which Is NOT Wise...
And May Devise Their OWN DEMISE... !?!

These Days I Find SO MANY TRY...
To ACT As If They’ve GOT The GIFT... !!!

The PROBLEM Is Their Gifts Enlist...
SPREADING Things Where LIES Exist... !!!
And COWARDICE Instead of BOLDNESS.... ?!?

It Seems They Live INSIDE A Shell...
And CLEARLY Think That ALL IS WELL... !!?!

Well GOOD FOR THEM Is What I Say... !!!

But PROBLEMS Stem From Taking AIM...
At Those Whose Brains DON’T Entertain...
PRIDE Driven DISPLAYS Built To Save Face...

TOO MANY Are Doing THIS STUFF These Days... !!!

Playing ROUGH When They’re NOT TOUGH... !!!

Aiming At Those Whose MENTAL Guns...
Are QUICK To EXPOSE Those RUNNING Gums... !!!

Because Their Mouths EXCEED Their Clout... !!!

Which is CLEARLY WHY They Have To TRY...
To MESS WITH Minds... That AVOID..........
Being Clowned By Those Who EMPLOY...
The Kinds of Ploys That GIRLS and BOYS....

USE IN.......... “ PLAYGROUNDS "......... !!!!!!

So When They Make NOISE...
I RETAIN My Poise And Let Them ENJOY...

Their... Moment of JOY... !!!!!

Which They Seem To THINK... ?
Gives Them The... BIG WIN... !?!

When They Use Their MOUTHS...
To Attempt To INFLICT...
Some Kind of STING By YES Using...
What I’m NOW Naming...

........... As THIS........

... “ The Drag Down “...
An unfortunate part of dealing with CERTAIN, Poor Excuses for People, who behave in similar ways to, CERTAIN Presidents and World Leaders, right about now !

Our fate rises and falls together
Together in some fashion
Poetry not to be cute
Poetry from passion

Long live Mr. Keating!
Long live Mork and Sean!
Long have I missed her
Even when I'm long gone

I am water wedded
Inner Harbor meditation
Baltimore. Forgotten lore.
I wait for invitation

         In my solitude
      Invisible sensation

A little hope from the students
So young. So full of promise.

My favorite teacher is now dead
His name was Dr. Thomas

Vanity, says the Preacher.
All is Vanity and chasing after wind

Fox News has the idiocy of Sean Hannity
I have memories of Mork and Mind

                       Nanoo Nanoo!
I started my young years
Watching right on on television
Keeping up to date on my fave music
I thought I was the only one who loved music
But then I found out the real music fans
Loved young talent time and countdown
And I was watching them a bit
And I bought an album called CHOC-A-BLOCK which was a bit like the chocolate ice cream named choc-block really tasty
Then I watched the local soccer match where the local boys Lakes United were playing after feeling fit and tired running in a church carnival, and each this morning we watched the breakfast club, which was a children’s morning cartoon show they had in Newcastle with Art Ryan who had a Nick name ‘poppa’ and each morning when they delivered the orange juice my brother and I went to the door to collect it and banged our heads on the wall as I was thinking the song the Judas Priest song get arrested for breaking the law as we banged our heads on the wall and we used to tape tv shows like mork and mindy on cassette from tv and you could hear the background noise and when robin williams said at the end see you next week, my brother on the last show said, hey it isn’t on next week, I was walking to the shops to buy to buy lollies I came home and my dad and my brother were watching the cricket and then banana splits and in other room mum was watching bellbird which in some episodes me and my brother talked through it so she couldn’t hear it and then the underarm ball happened in the cricket with Greg Chappell asking his brother Trevor to bowl an underarm bowl to stop the 11th place batsman from hitting a six and this was outrageous because he wasn’t capable of hitting a six like that
They only needed six to win and we went to my nannas house and me and my nanny watched 70s rock music concert and everyone on everybody gave me a rock music concert cassette and it got me closer with my brother who fought constantly like all brothers when we knew nothing about each other and nanny used to hold Christmas every Christmas night while granny used to do Christmas Eve and my cousin Alan played Santa and nanny’s do and I used to count the dongs on granny’s clock and when it struck seven I got up to watch the breakfast club
This was every weekday morning and every afternoon I loved the Mickey Mouse club but granny loved talking on the phone and someone rang about 5 minutes before the Mickey Mouse club started and I had to lip read it for a while and every Saturday morning we watched SOUNDS with Donnie Sutherland and me and my brother said daddy Summerville as a joke against daddy’s age and I was bullied in a taxi with the only good thing about it that we got off at the oak factory to buy a fresh ice cream, we loved to listen to our fave music, I liked the beach boys and my brother liked the Beatles and my dad loved jazz and mum loved the soaps back then but not now, when I moved to Canberra I found out about Australian rules football where we all went for Carlton and my brother and I played Aussie rules competitions in the front yard and occasions a few of my school friends walked past teasing me because they were jealous of my great imagination playing footy in the front yard, what is he thinking and I had a rough friend who bowled like Harold larwood and a strong league tackler and at that time he was a good friend along with Brett and Brian and Carla and frank as I invited them to birthdays where we had donut eating contests where we hung donuts on the clothes line and we tried to eat the donut off the line before it fell off the line to it’s timely death and because we loved to camp as a family in a tent, I wanted to put the tent up in the backyard and we all had slumber parties in the tent pretending we were camping with family, our stuffed animals were the kids, when we played front yard footy we used to go to the squash court to play squash and I played racquet ball and I was pretending to be the footy player unwinding after a long day of playing footy, and afterwards we went to the Yass footy club for dinner and I made rissoles, orange pork chops, and other things and we all pretended to be in a restaurant ordering the same music
I used to play bus routes where I pretended our drive way was the Belconnen bus interchange and I drove all the buses in and I developed a few new bus numbers like the 666 Which went from kippax to Belconnen to Dickson to city to the airport to Manuka to deakin to Woden to Cooleman court to the cotter and finished in Tuggeranong and I used to collect toy cars and smurfs and bus timetables and I was the go-to man when my parents wanted to catch the bus, I used to play tv shows in my room on my granny and nanny’s front torch with people telling me to be quiet all the time
I watched rage and I sang all the songs reading the words from the cassette cover and sometimes when I sang music with my cousins my uncles and aunts were wanting me to stop because I dragging their kids down the wrong way and I played with two cousins in the pool having a lot of fun and I was letting the kids do anything, mate I was just a kid and a mate jumped on and off the pool ladder going the big ummmmmm
I was scared and sat there thinking of all the fun I had as a kid, who cared if I got teased I had fun
Ya know fun, it is what people did before computers took over
I was a normal child

Doesn't last for long

Gratitude for ordinary
I can because I must
When my father dies
What will become of us?

Tired. Exoplanets.
He is still in school
Cordelia is quite noble
Harold Bloom a fool
