Aadab the Aarab's
Favourite food was kebabs,
Be it beef, be it chicken,
He thought they were finger lickin'
With hummus and garlic dabs


authors note: i know Adab & Arab
 are spelled with one
 ...a.....at the start but i put in
 the extra ....a.....for pronunciation
 of a long.....a.....sound...

Woke up this morning ready to fly
Each day's an adventure for you and I
Grab the brass ring
Sweet songs to sing
Spread your wings like a pretty butterfly

Suns rays reflect off rippling water
Shows the shadow of boy playing
He's on waters edge to look
For creatures of the sea
With colorful fins
To reflect rays
Water moves
To hide

don't grab the steering wheel while God is driving the car
just put your trust in Him that you will travel very far
we have a tendency to pray on things but of them we won't let go
we keep worrying about the problems and won't let God...

I spent too long in the sand, 
the day has ran,

I am a dam,

the waters run cold, 
and that is bad,

turn around and grab,
because the air of the wind isn't fun,

teeter totter with the band-
let um go laugh...

Take a polygraph: ask 
'how sad are the...

Im stillen Kornfeld dort,
wo sie verborgen lag,
des Schnitters Sense,
da liegt jetzt sein Grab.
Und nur der Wind
verweht das letzte Wort,
das niemand mehr vernehmen mag.

Bezwinge deine Seele
und stiehl dich heimlich fort.
Damit nicht Angst dich quäle 
an jenem stillen Ort.

Die Hoffnung gibt dir Flügel
und leiht dir auch ihr...

Spree three quite legal vehicles at a four-way intersection by selection,

suddenly, 
abundantly,

glaring, 
blaring, 

crashing, 
smashing,

cooperating,
accommodating, 

persistence, 
assistance, 

fender, 
bender, 

easy, 
peasy, 

surely, 
truly, ... 

"You had not responded, so sad God bless, *sonder."

*sonder: special (mindless to being ...)

A moment of thought we now share
Twisting itself around your heart
Into the future now I stare 
Dreaming of tomorrow's fresh start 

Don't know exactly what it is
A moment of thought we now share
Began when we had that first kiss
Showing me that you really care

Nothing in...

SMASH AND GRAB

traffic light red
car stops dead
alert eyes dart 
surrounded by dark
panic imposed
she knows
the fear real
and near
that crowbar
window smash

loaded weapon
held to head
attacked she
smells his trashed
ambivalence 
dealt her way
hand of fate
grabs the keys
ignoring her
pleas

he doesn’t feel
or give a damn
pavement flung
she lands cold
with terror as
all she hears
are...

Limericks III - Grab Bag

Being a peace activist, I once wrote a limerick in an attempt to stop needless wars:

Of Tetley’s and V-2's
(or "Why Not to Bomb the Brits")
by Michael R. Burch

The English are very hospitable,
but tea-less, alas, they grow pitiable ...
or pitiless, rather,
and quite...

Shootings here, violence there
     Smash-and-grab everywhere

   So it seems, but look again
     It’s a mostly urban scene

   How much longer can it be 
     ~ To death our cities...

Ah, before I grab somebody's hand...
I must get rid of all grief and feel really glad;
ah, before I grab somebody's hand...
I must earn worthiness and stop being mad!

It must have been quite long
having lived the pathetic life
of a worthless being; 
walking fearlessly inside
scary shadows cast...
