Best Marg Poems

I remember those days when just a kid,
the old ten shilling note, and the odd quid.*
Teddy boys in their drain pipes, fur collars
smelling of nicotine, street wise scholars.
Conkers,* glass alleys* and comics as well,
bow and arrows, gat* to ring the school bell.
Electric tram, trolley bus...

The Mozzies are biting, we forgot the Aeroguard
The ants, all the bickies are about to bombard
The twins are fightin’ and actin’ real mean
This family picnic, it’s a real bloody scene
The baby’s cryin’ ‘cause he bashed both ‘is knees
The flies in the marg, and the dogs...

Patradoot or The Messenger 7/Many

English version by
Ravindra K Kapoor



On your way,  you would witness and see,

Alluring scenes and sceneries all around the way,

Spreading their charms  to allure your mind,

They would keep fascinating your heart, on your way.

Patradoot or The Messenger 6/Many

English version by
Ravindra K Kapoor



The journey is long, lonely and the path deserted,

You have to pass a long way dear,

Leaving the bank of river Suryu*

You have to take a dip in the holy river Ganges.*

Happy Anniversary Saint James Episcopal

Was another one of those wonderful days
When we all woke up and gave God praise
And then thanked Him for His each thing
He gave and much happiness to us brings.

Like my husband who I love having around
Who I always do adore hearing...

Did Turn and Toss Like An Albatross

Last Sunday was first Sunday
for our new priest. Saw his
name on program which was 
creased. Heard his sermon 
and  were pleasantly pleased. 

During our dreams we did turn and toss;
What if new priest had been an albatross;
Great sermon...

And perfect to last iota, they have to be;
Are an incredible addition to our community.

To hear them play everyone does...

At the Homestead today,no time to write verse,
Fran had once again got the cleaning curse,
Cleaned carpets and rugs,to eradicate bugs,
Found not a one as we went, through, sweeping,
Mopping,polishing too, everything gleaming,
Dusted and cleaned, bed linen changed,
Carpets outside to air, dogs better hide,
Or they would be...

God, 

Bless us all and do surely keep,
Whether awake or we are asleep;
Moments moving,
God is proving,
And always been one of His sheep.

Oh, and thank you for bringing
Tom and Marg to us with all of
their musical abilities and interests.
They have made life so lovely
for us all....

Those poor kids who were at Columbine;
What if one had been my very mine;
Felt it in music Symphony just played
Thoughts and emotions they displayed.

The more of the music that I had heard
It reminded me of each and every...

For choir who excels and has excellent voice;

Plays organ was Marg and we now do rejoice.

Fighting for a New Iran.

Marg Bar they shout
At those they hate,
Iranians want changes
They are brave, they are great.

They must call for rebellion
So freedom voices say,
But when they need their help
Those voices are far away.

Opponents who gather on the streets
Are persecuted and oppressed
When they fight for...
