The sea gulls down at Barry aren’t your average little pests 
 They think they own the sea side and the all wear hooded vests 

Their beaks are pierced with hoops and studs and drink from cans of bud .
Beady eyes watch picnics 
They truly...

Irelands uprising in ninteen sixteen was crushed by the state
The ringleaders were arrested and death would be their fate
Charged with the crime of treason against the British Crown
Fifteen men faced a firing squad and without mercy shot down.

It caused outrage in Ireland, and support for...

On a limb was this lyric etched 
By leprechaun in rune & sketch.'
T'was not bawdy;But sober in tone 
From this wistful soul Who lived alone

To good Saint Patrick he made a plea
From the trap of treasure deliver me, 
In crock & jar I have full...

Barry White On the Phone
Velvety bass tones
Of sweet love
Flow from my mouth
In rhythmic style
You stay on the phone,
And all the while
You are here as well
Laying softly in my bed
And all is right
As passion is fed
One sweet caress
And life is good
And this is love
Which long has stood...

Barry Manilow
Right? Fine. Finished.
During what avail, what time.
Shake this, crisps on bread.
Ultimo Dragon, wrestling and fights 
Likewise, Mr Artist.
Package this, like fries.
McDonald's, eat much.
Yum, yum, delicious times.
Screwball sassy.
Likewise this....

Clerihew - 'Anabolic' Barry Vs Hammerin' Hank
Barry out-homered Hank
His inspiration? May I be frank?
'Twas McCartney and Lennon and the poem they penned
"I get high with a little help from my friends"

***Hammerin' Hank was Hank Aaron's nickname...Barry Bonds broke his all-time home run record "with a little help" from his steroid friends...

Barry Manilow
I remember all the songs, the songs of love and broken hearts
The music that I adore, soft, gentle and a caring flow
Thoughts from present and past
The wonderful melody of long lost loves
The caring words and admissions of love
I to this day love, to be serenaded...

Barry Bright. ( Sung To Another Great Song. Charlie Brown.)
C, C, D, D and a F for you!
Everyone is failing. There's still one A, it's true!
Barry Bright. Barry Bright.
A shining light! He's Barry Bright!
Sitting in the front seat, 295 I.Q.
" I know the answer before the teachers ever do!"

He slips into the first desk,

Unlimited love- Barry White tribute.

You’re loves unlimited, embraced in a “satin soul”
oh baby, baby, “never, never, gonna give you up”
“I’ve got so much to give,”I feel out of control
“can’t get enough of your love babe,” my loving cup, 

oh baby, baby “never, never, gonna give...

Barry Bonds
Barry Bonds Witchhunt cons

Sold out tickets make owners fond 

Money bags Pennant flags

Baseball's back

On Spots Illustrated mags 

Homerun chase

Time to contemplate

Adoring fans now say Your a National Disgrace

Commissioner too

Crying the Public Boo-Hoo 

Used the breaking of Aaron's record 

To advertise the brew

No more dough Let's...
