THE ABERGELE ROADS

At dusk we walk slowly by the shoreline

The waves lapping at the sand break gently

While children play among the craggy rock pools

Or happily skimming stones on the sea

Dogs chase balls as we stand to consider,

The tide is it in, or out, no matter

The setting sun lights up the western sky

Illuminating stray clouds with gold strands

Then surrounding them with bright bursting rays

This sunburst silhouettes the beachcombers

Then blinds us all as it hits the wet sand

As quickly as it burst on us it was gone

Until we are blinded by the next one

Before the horizon swallows the sun

WHATS IN A NAME (2)

 

Does anyone know is Jonathon Swift?

Does anyone know can Oliver Twist?

Does anyone listen to James Whale?

Did anyone else see Alexi Sayle?

FOREIGN JOHNNY’S # 3

 

Feeling superior to Johnny foreigner

Is not balderdash

As I don’t wake to find my garden

Covered in volcanic ash

MARK ME ANTHONY

Fiends, rascals, rapscallions

Tell me your fears

I, ever a busy geezer, try to raise them

KEEPING ABREAST

 

If a fraction of the effort that went into

Research of women’s breasts and their bras

Had instead gone into exploration

Of space, the galaxy, and the stars

We would today be operating

Burger joints on the moon and mars
