THE THREE R’S

 

I was raised on the three R’s

At least on their importance

Reading, riting and rithmatic

Though spelling was more happenstance

But a greater three r ’s exist

Greater than literacy, grammar or fractions

Respect for oneself, Respect for others,

And Responsibility for all of your actions

LIBERALS

 

Don’t you just love the liberal crew

So called because of their liberal views

But when you examine their reasoning

Their liberality is merely posturing

Charles Kennedy was deposed of course

Because he was too fond of the sauce

Jeremy Thorpe had to go way back when

Because of his fondness for young men

While Menzies Campbell was told

He had to go because he was just too old

The party so proud of their liberal principals

Are in reality not that liberal at all

DASH IT ALL

 

They called it the dash

Way back in the day

A short word for a short race

Dash was the right word to say

Now they call it the sprint

Like its something elite

It’s still just a short race

That’s been hijacked by the Effete

MENAKA

 

Menaka, Apsara

Of the clouds and waters

In Hindu and Buddhist mythology

A celestial nymph

And celestial maiden

A beautiful supernatural being

Youthful and elegant,

Who dances to the music

Of the Gandharvas,

In the palaces of the Gods,

Entertainer and seducer

Of Gods and men

An ethereal being

Inhabiting the skies

I LOVE ANAGRAMS # 11

 

I love anagrams

Anagrams are great

Some make me chuckle

Some make my sides ache

For example

The earthquakes = that queer shake

DEMENTIA

 

I think my grandparents

Are suffering from dementia

Because granddad asked my gran

As they sat together on the sofa

“Whatever happened

To our sexual relations dear?”

And the answer she gave

Is what gave me cause to fear

“I don’t know, we didn’t even get

A Christmas card from them this year”

DEAR FRIEND # 2

 

Dear friend I have never forgotten        

How you touched my heart with your easy grace

Your kindness and disposition, means

A world with you in it is a happier place
