Like any family, mine’s the same, they leave Mama with the dirty Chores.
You’d think with Trolls, and Dragons, and such… There’d be magic galore!

Do you ever wonder
Why some times relationships go asunder?
What were the short comings and/or the blunder?
What caused that awesome storm to lose its thunder?
Do you ever wonder?

Did you ever dream

A dream so...

SONNET FOR A FRIENDLY TAX MAN

Once more the seasons turn to time for change
The sun adjusts to lower its trajectory 
The fates have cause once more to disarrange
Emotions and confer an elan-ectomy

As many have observed two things are certain
Although we may resist a near demise
One...

Life seems to have stolen my smile

Some of you I will miss so much
Maybe later we’ll get in touch

In Cyprus my daughter I'll see
T'will bring joy to sorry old me

I won’t have much time to be here
But some of you...

but I knew her face on sight;
I should have asked her to the senior prom -

How I loved those Wednesday evenings, 
The games, the pomp and seriousness of the camps, 
The different coloured scarves, sweaters and hair 
During the mass meetings,

Being helped up a tree by an...
