Best Pleased As Punch Poems

Faculty meeting. Formidably flippantly fortuitously fluffy and forgetful.
I began to write a little list of F words, because I was in the F word mood.
Frilly. Free-ha-ha. Feast. Forget-me-knots. Fallacy. Farming. Fastidious. Fun-filled.
What are you doing? A non-friend asked me. She had already broken my chain...

Meeting Andy Gibb: Today is His Birthday

Some moments in life we just
cannot totally recall,
Like rapid moving waters one sees 
in a waterfall.
But meeting Andy, I will
cherish and remember.
His eyes, his smile, far more
than warm and tender.

I can't think of another soul,
so glowing,...

Some moments in life we just
cannot recall,
Like rapid moving waters one sees 
in a waterfall.
But meeting Andy, I will
cherish and remember.
His eyes, his smile, far more
than warm and tender.

I can't think of another soul,
so glowing, bright and beautiful.
Oh, how I want so to make a
picture,
Of this...

people pleased as punch to praise , partner's pleasure perceived...

A granite bust statuette of Nefertiti
Bought at Abu Simbel on our Egyptian cruise
Serves us as a solid paperweight
On windy mornings reading the 'Weekly News'. 

A cigar on the terrace is my only indulgence
Just one for the whole day not long after lunch
Before we set forth...

ROOBOY

Between the spinifex and gibber, across the dry, hot sand,
Lenny sits as proud as punch with the leather straps in hand,
His roo it has a saddle and a bit between its teeth,
When he wants to change direction, he gives the reins a reef.

You see Lenny...

These humorous lines were inspired by
Viv Wigley's "Food Fight" contest. 
Could not resist the temptation:)

Hot as hell, emotions fire the flames, 
Nervous about meeting doctors, nurses, 
Curtain separates them from congregation,
The veil is not torn in two, but steamy adulation, 
Courts their friendship sessions to distance, 
Bible fanatic from mum, with a secular pretence: 
Stationed to obey that mile...

Only time will tell the outcome of this rhyme,
Whether it will succeed in the nick of time.
So better safe than sorry, as they say,
A good beginning makes a good ending, I pray. 

I’ll write a little bit of this and a little bit of that,
All...

Their dad had had a heart attack 
since they had seen him last.
In May they said, "Let's visit him,
cuz time's a passing fast."

He doesn't drive, he sold his car
so he'll not come to us.
and we can take some time off work 
without a lot of...

In Memory of my close, good friend, Roger Ebert, international movie critic from Chicago, whose wisdom and warmth…. left us far too soon! 


    Some made me howl, some put me in tears.
    Some so adventurous..I was in total...

Pleased as punch
This mother quite proud
Flips up her tail
Neighing out loud

Her gait so lively
Her head held high
This bright young fella
Once a gleam in her eye

Unbridled spirit
Feeling so grand
The spitting image
Of his dear old man

Romping through fields
Free of reins
Thundering hoofs
Flying mane

A frisky young colt
Like dad in...

Not everyone’s prolific;
Being so might be a curse.
To some, it’s quite terrific
But to others, the reverse.

For those who mass produce their wares
Perhaps are just obsessed;
And holding back a bit impairs
Their mojo, so they’re stressed.

A poet or a painter
Churning endless words or scenes
May find talent growing...

Autumn is leaving, amid hues of red and gold
A final splash of colour before winter's bite takes hold.

The land once verdant, lies desolate and bare
As the cutting cold of winter brings a sharpness to the air.

But as winter takes its grip, and temperatures drop low
Expectantly...
