We didn’t start the blogging

Tocino, Bravo, the wolf cousin O Zangado
Gaz, Jazz, razzmatazz, Mrs O’s flowers in a vase
Pseu’s a snapper, Donald’s laughter, gardening matters
The poetry prize we’re all after
G’day Bearsy, Howzit S-Man, G’day Bilby
Sheona, how’s it gaun? Continue reading “We didn’t start the blogging”

A poem for Mr Mackie!

This is a favourite theme of mine, as you may have gathered

The loneliness of the solo piper.

Oh, the bagpipes howl and the bagpipes scream
When they are massed together, they really take the cream
The sound of a band of pipe and drums
Gets the listener going and he hums

But when a piper is caught alone
The noise turns one’s heart to stone
Never was such cacophony
As makes one beg hard for mercy

So, let it always be said
Pipes and drums go to your head.
But if a feral piper alone is found
Stamp him hard into the ground!

Extremely happy

Happiness is…roller skatin’ in a buffalo herd
Roller skatin’ in a buffalo herd
Roller skatin’ in a buffalo herd
You can be happy if you’ve a mind to

Happiness is…parkouring on the Empire State building
Parkouring on the Empire State building
Parkouring on the Empire State building
You can be happy if you’ve a mind to Continue reading “Extremely happy”

The sky at night

Angels and seraphs? What the fuck,

I’d rather see a flying duck

or skein of geese in squadron flight

I’m not a one for black of night.

I’d like to see the night in colour,

less twinkling Mozart, more Fats Waller,

and glowing ships with seven sails,

fluorescent fish with flashing tails.

More than a Rainbow

It was a Saperstein grey day the aliens came to town
Needing perfect hued specimens for their outer space museum
They decided to land at William Henry Perkinville
Their saucer a porcelain magenta as they prepared to carpe-diem

Ménagerie à trois

DogDaze

Rex, my gorgeous Dogstar,
with your beaut Aristo nose,
I saw you running fast and far
on your charming hirsute toes.
Oh Rex, I dream of you and me,
in heat and wondrous harmony,
making canine whoopee.

Stand up and be elected

It’s refreshing to see that the worlds of politics and entertainment are finally merging with Backside’s hero – the toffs’ answer to Russell Brand – threatening to return to the House to lead the ever-amusing Tories into the next election.

So all together now!

Bring me Sunshine, in your smile,
Bring me Laughter, all the while,
In this world where we live, there should be more happiness,
So much joy you can give, to each brand new bright tomorrow……..

Repeat ad nauseam

The UN explained for Marvin

I like Kofi, you like Ki
We both like se-cur-i-tee!

Light blue hats at border posts
They’re the troops we love the most!

When the shells begin to fly
They’re off home – no fond good-bye!

I like Kofi, you like Ki
We both like se-cur-i-tee!

Welcome , Marvin, to our world!

Sing along to the tune of Walzing Matilda

Boadicea’s Chariot, Boadicea’s Chariot
Cyberspace’s answer to Baden Powell’s brigade!
We’ve got cubs and we’ve got brownies
And growed-up scouts – and girl-guides too.
We are the stuff of which glory is made!

Once upon a time we chatted oop at t’Big House
And some of us left, some were booted right out!
But we followed the Bear
(Does he do it? Yes, of course he does!) –
We’re cherished and we know it and we all proudly shout:
