Premium Member Farewell

The sweet voice of the announcer
Echoed through the airport.
Ladies and Gentlemen
Gate 4 Malta Paris is now open.
Take your hand luggage
And have your tickets ready.

                    *
He picked up his briefcase,
Looked at his lady friend,
Her eyes were swollen with tears.
He dared not kiss her goodbye.

Will you be back, she stammered.
No, it is better this way.  For I 
Have loved you on and off.
You don’t deserve a man like me.
You need a steadfast person,
Someone who will care for you
In a very proper way.
You will be loved and have a family,
A kind person who deserves you.
I am not that kind of person.
Don’t think I shall not miss you.
I’ll wander around the periphery
Of Rue de Jardin, always alone
No woman will take your place.
Silence will be my companion.
I deserve no better.  So my sweet,
I bid you farewell.  And wipe away
The small tear in my eye.
                    *
Then he gave her a thin envelope.
It was her one-way ticket for Paris.
Would she go?

Korean Winter Blues

Korean Winter Blues


Korean Winter Blues

Korean winters 
Are shorter than before
Impact of climate change

Can get very cold
As Siberian winds
Blow in from Russia

Putting the whole country
Under a deep freeze
Polar vortex 

It does not snow
Too much
Except in the mountains 
The coldest day
I ever experienced
Was in Korea 
Back in 1979

The AFKN radio announcer
Said it was minus 70
That morning.


Summer into Fall

yellow leaves litter
the street after
a touch of rain
asphalt glistens
I drive alone
I listen to Public Radio
a story told
a man lives alone
betrayed
and my tires sing
as his story is told
about how he lost faith
day by day
I drive through
the downtown
the shops and bars
are closed
a man stands alone
and sweeps a sidewalk
I listen to the radio
as it speaks to me
it is my story
as I discover someone
I loved
is going with someone else
that was spring
then a sad summer
now it’s fall
now a moment of silence
after a touch of rain
I look for the sun
to break through clouds
as the story plays
the announcer says
hope is the answer
if someone who’s hurt
dares to accept the change
I’ll see my new friend sometime
she says she hangs out
where I go
to hear me sing
I sang from my heart
and told her
I’d do it again.

Premium Member Acting Coach

The greatest teacher I have ever known
never worked in a classroom.
He was an actor and radio announcer of some renown.
A man of many talents, I'd assume.

He directed me once when I was acting in a play,
and he'd let me know - right away! -
if he didn't like the way I'd say
a certain line (sometimes to my dismay!)

He taught me the value of silence and being still.
Economy of movement was an important skill
that I needed to learn
and although he was not shrill in his criticism
he could be very stern,
never the kind to use witticism
to make a point.
Indeed, his best instructions were often unvoiced.

My performance in that comic play
turned out quite successfully,
and to this very day
it is still a fond memory.

In all my years in theatre
he gave to me the greatest education.
Eventually, I'd realize that under
his tutelage I learned much about dedication
to the craft of acting, 
reacting and interacting.
I learned that it's all about communication,
and though he is long gone, 
I remember him fondly, with great appreciation.

Thank you, Denys.

Premium Member The England Captain Throttled a Koala

And why not?
The Lucky country
Bodyline
Human skittles
Murder Incorporated 
Swing lube 

I sit with friends and 
We put
Together our greatest XI
To face Mars
My father shouts, "That's out!"
And the umpire gives it

My son reads The Beano and is 
Not interested 
In the sixes

The announcer shouts, "Make some noise Edgbaston!"
He is shoved over and the Harlequin Waitrose capped swanky pants 
In a spiffing gaggle announces, "Bowling from the City End, some bloke."

A friend told me he strangled 
A goat
"That makes you feel really alive."

Passing Shower

scorching heat
one wind
a cloud
do not exist
head hurts like it's going to explode
From the radio weather center
an announcer with a bright voice
saying
"before dark
the drought is over and showers are coming"
forecast
Not that it isn't
thunder
lightning sound
noisy
from afar
short
thick raindrops
break through the black clouds
on the dusty soil
on a solid rocks
on the hot asphalt
on the tin roof of the poor house
crashing and crashing hard
pouring a loud
at some point it's quiet
sham-
ing go away
let's open the window
the surroundings are clean
The scorching heat again
headache doesn't come
like first love that time
I hear the sound of thunder that I thought was over.

Meeting John and Speaking With Him

I had just spoken with John!
To meet the bastard I’d sworn,
My planned time 5:00am dawn,
Over his fertile grass lawn 
He had had to treat with scorn,
Contented with being a con…

“You listen to me, Hot John!
Yesterday, you know, is gone,
A new day baby now born
And with it the Newest Morn!
In a morn one does not mourn;
Announcer of this: God’s Horn!
Good proof: True Life is not torn
Nor True Life true face outworn…

You’re , then, to face farm’s corn:
The white, The yellow and the fawn,
All its thought pains to be borne…

But then, to ask, are their pains?
Aren’t the growth of corns from rains?

Good luck wishes times ten, John
As you avoid your clique’s Don,”

Brady Loved By Shady Lady

Tom dug deep in dell
had been on the way to hell
would sit for short spell

Brady we could tell
in love all the women fell
head started to swell

who would take Tom's place
down new candidate will chase
between ears short space

be big bar bouncer
a super sports announcer
some event sponsor

was Tom Brady
many deals may be shady
loved by each lady 

Mobility Ability Full of Senility

need ability
to have much mobility
also agility

Cancelled

Today there is a performance
of happiness about to happen.
Players mime, display
painted smiles over painted eyes.

I am late
an expectant crowd had already formed,
even the town beggars
had stopped panhandling for gold coins
and are waiting curiously for the
show to begin.

An announcer announces:
The script had been lost
in a crisis of doubtful origin.
Joy has been indefinitely delayed.

Someone jeered loudly
another cheered softly.

The performers knelt down
and prayed for more red wine.

Eventually milk and honey was delivered
on the backs of sweating mules,
but they were both stale.

Premium Member Blame the Cocker Spaniels

It’s the Cocker Spaniels this time the media screams
I roll my eyes, wondering when the cats will get some blame
Or the monkeys, cheetahs, sharks or giraffes
They are diabolical, plotting your death, the announcer says
I do not plot her death, but I plot taping her mouth up.

The pit bulls were the last group to blame.
What about the housewives? Do they use environmentally friendly detergent?
or the house husbands….do they recycle their lard like grandma did?
How about the grandmas who feed their pets with Styrofoam?

We are the polluters.
We are the litterers.
We are the ones driving cars one person at a time.
But let’s blame the Cocker Spaniels.
I shut off the T.V.

Suggested Duration of Sex

I solemnly propose thirty seconds,
As it isn’t at all a search for diamonds
And hasn’t been delivering stronger, bonds:
Only pleasure-soaked “Ohs” and excited diphthongs
Almost always depleting a womanizer’s funds,
Wherefore intercourse should be a little longer than a cock’s
Or the time it normally consumes to put on ones socks...

Perhaps the time it takes a grenadier
To dive for cover after a throw
Or for the grudging handshake between a lack lustre brigadier
And a junior officer of more decorations and glow!

Preferably, the time it takes a cock
To perform its roles of a professional time announcer
Or the uninvited, not hard like a rock,
To be forcibly shown the door by a bouncer.

Premium Member Patrick Oflanagan

Patrick O’Flanagan’s covert shenanigans
Make people ask where he gets to at night
There’s a perception that Patrick O’Flanagan
Visits a door with a glowing red light

What people don’t know about Patrick O’Flanagan
Is he has only one goal
Each night at ten to ten, visits his gran again
She does a dance with a pole

Old Ma O’Flanagan dances for Stan and Ben
Over in County Kildare
The nurses and carers all turn a blind eye 
As Stan sticks his pension ‘down there’

Pat’s her announcer, he's also her bouncer
He keeps them old fellas in check
Old Ben can get frisky and that’s a bit risky
Unless he desires a sore neck

These is the rules says Patrick O’Flanagan
That shrivelled todger of yours 
Grandma will make that old thing come awake again
And you place hard cash down her drawers

But Ben said those wrinkles don’t pep up our winkles
We only watch her to rehearse
For what we might see on the CCTV
When you nip out back with that nurse
