Ben the bull was gentlemanly and debonair He had a unique personality, he filled the air The others in the barnyard got out of his way He marched though the fences, big and gay With his blue silk scarf from the farmer’s wife And his fancy patchwork jacket, he had a good life He wore a fashionable rip in one leg...

Premium Member Relief - Ben Nicholson 1934
The dimensions revealed Covered over in white A hint of the layers Hazed with redirected light Some spaces to occupy Deliberately kept empty Some say I gave nothing Others see I've given plenty The beauty of silence Presented by this Stand still, close your eyes It's the softest of kiss Messages written but hidden from view All the aspects represent my love for you How the World I...

Premium Member Our Beloved Ben
Ben,our springer,brown & white Was our teen-daughter's delight; Bred by the famous Shand-Kydd Causing us to part with fifty quid.

A sporting dog,much too inbred So to the vet,our footsteps led; A day so filled with tears, Engraved upon all our yesteryears....

Until the Darkness Returns David J Walker This is taking forever Said the wall clock as if annoyed by time Stop watching the time clock The stopwatch shouted ironically Unable to control itself Big Ben is the natural God of London Announcing Himself on the hour In a cartoon voice Its Ragtime bragged the rags covered in discarded motor oil distinguished...
