There once was a man from Rome

who's head was shinny like chrome

gave the world spiritual hope

was given the title of Pope

now he wears a hat like that of a gnome

There once was a girl that lived in Brussels

who married a man, now they're the Russell's

I am the queen of geography
I deserve a trophy 
I am the best
better than the rest
this is why I am the queen

In Turkey I swim I skinny dip in the lake
eating some cake
because I am the queen 
during my rule ,
I want to grow a...

octave of forty words

Forty years - man and wife
long time friends celebrate life
on holiday, pure pleasure bound
four couples, eight countries found.
City ruins, castles, churches, canals,
lots of leisure, legendary locales,
river bends and mountain peaks,
whirlwind journey, two short weeks.

Turning from Christ

to disbelief;

as Satan confronts

the death

and hell…


Its expression

withering

the self and

its culture.


The suicidal genocide—

The British Empire was built by fate

We're living in the limelight of empires
As European states become smaller
As the European Union threatens to disintegrate
Due to an influx of refugees and bitter disagreements
It makes me wonder how they're spending their time
A look through the daily wire shows a lot of posts
But all of...

In most cultures families are timid to show their affections 
to their children, perhaps, if they were more adoring and affectionate
their children would not succumb to drug ailments,
suicide and bad company,

Some parents think over emoting makes the children too comfy,
Yet, the Europeans feel no shame...

Your Certain European Grace
by Rick Rucker

For a while, as a young man, I dated English Girls,
All of them had long straight hair, none of them had curls,

All of them had that accent, that was then the fashion,
But when it came to breeding, they certainly had...

I used to be German of true Prussian decent

These days I am European to my content

Travel without passport for thousands of miles

Meet people of all kinds who offer their smiles

Am free to live work and enjoy in 27 countries

Which is how it should be and...

The European Sauna Marathon does take place
during the coldest winter afternoons in each year
in Otepää in southern Estonia with no fear;
That place called the "winter capital" race takes place there.

People from around the world gather to cheer
for the marathon during the middle of the winter...

You always eat a sandwich with a knife and a fork
   You don't think of bacon when you think of pork
You'd likely drop dead from mayonnaise on bread
   You'd rather drink wine than beer with a head

You take off your shoes...

Four score, nothing there  

Ukraine lost the Roman hosted sporting affair  

Back in London Boris raises a Saturday pint  

Proclaiming success on this summer’s night  

Soon the red, white boys will be coming home  

Right now, Wembly is dark and...
