Best Cisco Poems

Those yanks in their tanks never got many thanks 
The locals moaned, ‘they’re over here’ *
We Brits had the ration, those yanks sought out passion 
With cigarettes, chocolate and beer

Girls couldn't rely on a whiff of a nylon
So legs got the tea or the gravy...

apologies to Robert W. Service
There’s a tale that is told
In the night Yukon cold
Of the shooting of Dan Mc Grew
The truth as it’s known
Is a legend that’s grown
And the truth is known by very few

It’s twenty years on
The Malamutes gone
There’s nobody left from that night

But...

I was watching the TV the other day
When a certain Rerun began to play.
It brought me back to one of my brain's stifled bans
Because it was about Lucas McCain...the Rifleman.

All of a sudden I was drenched by a flood
of Western Shows that have been long...

What would Westerns be without Horses
Would our heroes be as well known
Without their equine companions
They’d chase the bad guys on their own.

Roy would be lost without Trigger
And Gene without Champion - no way
Hoppy relied upon Topper
To keep the bad guys at bay.

“Hi-Ho Silver” yelled the...

Whatever happens when days counted as weeks?

And years counted as astrological countdowns

What ever happened to disco rap battling drums?

On streets filled graffiti and sand castles

Whatever happens to shoes with no laces?

And bras with no straps

Backpack ladybugs with taps

Bell bottoms Montreal

Sweden Russia Columbia streets

Backward aimed down...

Click on connect,
To a world brought together,
By Sun, Cisco, and Gates,
And cybervixens named Heather,
You or your business,
Can be what you dream,
No matter the cost,
Or so it would seem,
W-W-W,
Preceding some word or phrase,
The destination is gold,
At the end of each maze,
Be first, and be loud,
Brand your...

A Piece of Cowboy Fun

I know that once the West was wild
This I learned when still a child
The matinee on Saturday was the best
To see the cowboys clean up the west
My favourite was the man in the mask
‘Who was that masked man?’ I hear some...

The horses of my childhood
Do you remember too
Mr. Ed and Fury
Just to name a few
Roy had his Trigger
Dale had Butter Cup
They were stuffed and mounted
When dead – just look it up
Spin and Marty had Skyrocket
On the Mickey Mouse Club show
Hoppy rode in on Topper
That’s one...

Before they used computer chips

and printed circuits too,

TVs worked with different parts

like capacitors and tubes.


Our neighbor was a repairman

and he was quite adept,

he'd given me an old TV

to satisfy a debt.


I wrestled it to the basement,

put some rabbit ears on top,

plugged it in an outlet,

and...

I had dreams of yesterday
I woke up with a smile
My dreams took me back 
And it was better for a while.

Jeff was calling Lassie
We had moonbeams in a jar
Perry Como was teaching us
To catch a falling star

Bishop Sheen was preaching
Lawrence Welk was leading the band
And...

The Phantom called a meeting for he wished to unionize
the trucks had been delivering unloading their supplies.
  Bat man and his robin boy came bursting threw the night
  The shadow showed up early to find the perfect light.
The ranger with his six gun...

Once there was a way to get back homeward
I am I said
to no one there 
Ring ring golden ring
around the sun around your pretty finger
Another pleasant valley sunday
God Bless the little man
and it burns burns burns
the ring of fire
the ring of fire
The only one who...

12/3/20


I opened and jumped out my window
I saw the bigger picture not just life through a window

Went to help out kinfolk

At times had to do the limbo
Wasn't always simple
Jack be nimble
The real thing, not no ditto

Never really got into disco
Or listened to Cisco

I don't need...
