Premium Member Heave Ho and Yo Ho Ho
There's a Senior's home called the Shady Lane
    and life's curse is at an end.
Where a hundred souls are kept in line
    till Death its message sends.
They built a country... fought its wars, 
    giving everything...

Premium Member A Pirates Life For Me- For Contest
Here we are in 1650, which is ten minutes to five
swing the wheel to the West, which is left,
put your sun cream away, man the mizzen and the stays
as we set off for some murder and some theft.

You'll find us as your hosts on the...

Ootcast Kirk
Aye and ’tis a bonnie glen

And for us the Laird’s enclave

Dinna fush the soldiers’ menace

‘Tis this moment that He gave.

And we gaither ‘neath the stars

And we tak the wine and bread

And we cleave with benediction

To each Word arr Saviour said.

This is Church

Mind not the dampness

And...

Run Aground

Arr, Matey! Me ship has run aground,
In this shallow world, I search for character, but none to be found.
Through me spyglass, a foggy, distant world, unclear,
This incessant devil bird squawking in me ear.
A chest full of silver, gold, and jewels galore,
But what I treasure...

Good-Bye John John - Dedicated To My Friend John F Kennedy Jr - Written 1999
We'll miss you but hope to join you someday in eternity

Passing too soon like uncle Bobby and father John

You stood strong in the face of your family's tragedies

I remember a little soldier saluting our fallen leader so dear

Then our Prince of Camelot inspiring many with...

Inside Pocket of Satan
He placed me there tumbling around with his never change,
If darkness is evil it lies in this satin pit of his suit.
Seeing light at top yet so slippery is slope I can't climb,
Will he let me wallow here till who knows how damned long?

'attestation'
Faith is love taking 
The form of aspiration.
While Trust is 
The witnessing of 
Its intended manifestation.

For a gallant spirit 
There can never be defeat.
When the battle is tough 
The victory is often sweet.

Give light 
And people will 
Find the way.
Illumination like the sun 
Transforms the...

Ever Jumped a Train - Part 10 - Robert and Ernie Adventures
Well, I had promised Ernie and Snowy I'd walk them downtown,
It was cold so I tucked them warmly inside my jacket pocket.
Sneaking out of that rail yard in daylight was quite tricky,
I guess by now I don't have to tell you about being caught.

After walking...

There Ernie and I were standing, at the edge of dark steps,
They descended into a concrete tunnel to somewhere below.
Robert, do you think she could have gone down there he said,

That's the type of...
