"thorpe" poems
.
I survived Cameron and his band of hatchet men
remember when Thatcher took the axe to school milk?
but you ******* voted her in
as smooth as silk
but we see her now as the sows ear she was.
I won't vote for Corbyn
he never went and yet he's already a has been,
never seen that before excepting Jeremy and they named a park after him.
Thorpe.
Once
when I drew a breath in Toxteth
and the carnival was the riot
I got a bit
but that's censored.
Anyway
in Lancaster it's raining although it was cool down in Blackpool with the Duchess and only a slight breeze and a sneeze or two passing by Blackpool zoo.
Goodnight y'all
don't fall asleep
before you've said
your prayers.

guess what! richie benaud died, and he is waiting for his next life
you see i have heard about these negative deaths, and i wish you will stop
death isn’t uplifting, it’s negative, ever so negative
i believe in spreading positivity around this world
and talking about these deaths don’t help
we need to keep positive in us, ok, and then he said, guess what
frank sinatra died, but that is a negative thing to say
but i like talking about death, but it’s very negative, ya see, then he said
guess what! robert palmer died, ya know the guy who thought he was simply irreistable into being addicted to love

and if you don’t stop talking about death, i will make you next
but guess what! news flash, i like talking about death, i have an uplifting version of death
you see when people die, they come back to life
cause guess what! billy thorpe died, he has been dead for ages, mate, quit talking negative
you need to be positive ya know, you see i will do a giant **** in my living room, i feel lousy
drop the **** in the toilet, feeling much better, you see i can tell you who dies
guess what! trevor barker died, he has been dead for ages, you are a very negative person
guess what! scott mcdonald died, well, you just love being negative
guess what!, christians are kidnappers after your fucken soul, well you are showing me
what happens on youth group, well, i don’t want to know, cause it’s negative, i believe in being a peaceful positive buddhist
people die, they come back to life, people die, they come back to life
you see i go to the phoenix, for the poetry slam, i try and bring back graham kennedy
because guess what! graham kennedy died, i said, mate, he’s been dead for ages
and you mate are being ever so negative, he said, no, death is uplifting, it is uplifting
how you die and then come back to life
guess what! smoky dawson died, but he has been dead for a while
but i saw him at the anzac day march, so television is right yet again
guess what! guess what! guess what! 1 person dies 1 person gets reborn
the circle of life, don’t ya think

I stare all day at a picture of you broken by me
In more ways than one it claims to be
She looks beautiful and happy now with Sc filter flowers in her hair
But here comes her quick repair
A trip to Thorpe park will heal her heart
While mine lays torn apart
A ride so exciting she forgot she was ever sat beside him
Strange boys of dull drugged description
Will fill her life's future ambition
These times help me write but don't right my ruin
Only create a broken heart from what she is doing
It doenst matter she took me for a fool I claim no innocence at all
Just wish I'd had one last chance to show her a future in preview past tence in advance
Before she threw away it all and wrote the unwritten rule that true love doenst say
You are not in my day or night
your no longer my shining light
I never want you to hold me tight
id rather a life without the plight
Your not even worth half a fight
I'll never forget her gorgeous ways and how she brightened and made my days
I'm sorry beautiful princess forever true
I'm sorry I couldn't be the one for you for loving you is all I do

Ode, two odes, as grey
As black, due, I two
Eye polar, this Jude
There Docktaire, volitiuos
Voltaire. Reed to mein
Let Miss end Thorpe
B/c I will, two your corpse.

But First There was President Grant’s Speeding Ticket
I’ve never been arrested, but, hey, I’m still young; there’s a chance. Some of the nicest people I know have spent the occasional weekend at the county sheriff’s resort and spa, some opting for longer stays, so I wonder if I’ve been missing something.
If someday I receive a stainless steel invitation to jail I can’t imagine that a private jet and a motorcade will be part of the intake process, or that extra police and the Secret Service will escort me, or that barriers and blocked-off streets will ease my way inside to the receptionist, concierge, complimentary cocktails, a fingerprint manicure, souvenir photographs, and all the other amenities I’ve been reading about with regard to the anticipated indictment of a former president this week.
I don’t recall any stories about law officers or attorneys general sending courtesy notes to wanted men to turn themselves in, pretty please, but then I am behind the times in so many ways. Perhaps soon all arrests will be prefaced by formal courtesies:
5 April 2023
Dear Mr. Percival “Snake Eyes” Thorpe-Ponsonby,
You are cordially invited to a reception hosted by
The Sheriff and the District Attorney
At the County Courthouse on
17 April 2023
2:00 P.M.
Valet Parking
Dress: Afternoon Business Casual
RSVP
In 1872 William H. West, a D.C. city police officer, did not send then-President Ulysses Grant an invitation or a ticket-by-mail; he collared him in the streets of the Capitol for speeding in his one-horse buggy. Officer West, who was a Civil War veteran and black, is reported to have said to the President:
"I cautioned you yesterday, Mr. President, about fast driving, and you said, sir, that it would not occur again…I am very sorry, Mr. President, to have to do it, for you are the chief of the nation, and I am nothing but a policeman, but duty is duty, sir, and I will have to place you under arrest."
-Ulysses S. Grant Was Arrested 151 Years Before Trump's Indictment (businessinsider.com)
The President did not pull the ****** “Don’t you know who I am!?” thing, paid his $20 fine, and was apparently a more careful driver thereafter.
And that, dear readers, is a wonderful remembrance of one of those moments when this nation got things just right.
