Old Bill (written by by Steven Cooke)

Old Bill died today
He was a grumpy old sod said Mrs. Grey.
Fool thought me,
For you do not know what memory is
He was a decorated soldier who,
Courted beautiful women
Argued with royalty
And dined with the Aga Khan
For Oscar Wilde and Keats...

Umaga, nakikita kang naglalakad,
Ang kanan mong kamay ay may tangan pang bag.
Ang kaliwang kamay mo'y libro ang hawak
Ngunit sa daan kilalaka ng lahat.

Ika'y guro; Sagisag ng kasipagan!
Ang tangan mo lagi, kung 'di nila alam,
Ay ang susi mong kung tawagi'y lesson plan.
Sa aga ng pasok mo,...

In the Kitchen

This is about a particular drawing though I wish not to disclose which one exactly I 
mean for it matters so much that it matters no longer because my friends Arthur and
Bim watch over their kitchen rest their bones now and fly in...

Grandfather clocks
And dark furniture.

Grandfather clocks and dark furniture.
A big wood fire with stone surround.
Wooden floors that creek when you walk.
And animal skins for rugs with big leather coaches to lounge on.
This is the picture of the dream in my head.

An aga stove with back boiler...

Godwin Henry Osaigbovo (Pa Shakespeare)??
Here’s a soul that has the capacity to feel everything so deeply, cutting through the crust of words unspoken. A being that understands even the language of silence and hears when the eyes speak.
Pa Shakespeare stands as one of the rising...

The flotilla of ivory sculpture on catamaran of clouds, 
sailing on the singing spring air in the cerulean sky, 
turned to a menacing fleet bringing sudden scare now
in the shadow of invisible danger, changing our lives.

Entangled in the self-centric social web of seeking life, 
the...

The last of me is drowning deep in agony 
A packaged denied arrest paints a felony 
Isn't it crazily funny?
We live together in harmony 

Whereas urgent attention couldn't rescue the saga
From this skillful kneel aga
Whose Morales go gaga
And on my neck built the ancient Braga

The Fisher
by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
translation by Michael R. Burch

The river swirled and rippled;
nearby an angler lay,
and watched his lure with a careless eye,
like any other day.
But as he watched in a strange half-dream,
he saw the waters part,
and from the river’s depths emerged
a maiden, or...

You are so fine,
 I wish you were mine
And being a christian, I know you're not after fornication 
Your eyes, speak of deep contemplation
I believe, you value of love, fidelity, & laughter
The same things, I'm after
So, why don't we just tie the knot
'Cause I love...

It’s the Great British Bake Off
And I’ve got to week six
But I think it’s all over since
They’ve  dissed my bread mix.
They said it was rubbish 
When I baked my plum duff
And Mary said my cake
Was sandy, coarse and rough.

There’s a slinky little blonde
Who’s giving...
