Santa had an helper called Heather
and 4 little elf manager helpers
She told them to be nice
and give lots of advice
so all us call takers work together  .

There once was a call centre agent
who wanted a manager to help her .
No manager  could be...

A young girl stood at the school hall wall,
Some paper in her hand,
She shuffled her shoes while eyeing the views,
And the news on a notice board.
This space looks so impersonal, the wall so pale and long,
While shoe heels clicked (click-clack, clickety-click), 
“Oh! No” was her...

I posted a poem on soup


I posted a poem on soup
Excited to hear from the group
When no one stopped by
I started to cry
I guess that my poem was poop

I read till my eyes become sore
Leave comments on hundreds or more
Old poets and new
That’s just what...

When I was ten I went to England with my mother and younger sister.  It was the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. For 
Monarchists, you’ll know what a lot of fanfare goes on.  There were “block parties” everywhere—streets closed off and 
whole neighbourhoods dancing. ...

The Love Child


Gently laid in pungent hay
The small infant greets the eve
While all those present wonder
At the glory they've received

Neither before nor after
Will man witness such a birth
That brings more joy and hope to
Ev'ry creature on the earth

Brilliant star pierces the dark
As heavenly beings sing
Of...

The ocean shatters on the banks of my despair
where I stand above the cliffs in mournful yearning there,
amid the thunder and the lightning
that cracks the black of night
I curse the rocks below that took his precious life.

Oh Cannon Lee, Oh Cannon Lee!
my merman of the...

KEEP YOU POSTED

Getting back on my feet again
Show me the end, show me the end
Give me a road to follow
I will throw you a passage or two

Get yourself right, get out my face
I need a new way, I need a new way
An easy way to...

so tell me then illustrious men
who've wandered far beyond the ken
Of we who strive with words and pen
to tell the world of  cock and hen
who roosted in the way back when
in lofts of thatch and wicker den
resting in the soggy fen
Or tending hind in...

I have another piece that's too long for here - so it's in "Short Storries."

It's called "Seniors" - about a High School graduation party

I know I could take things out - but then it's not what I wanted to say *shrug*

Here's the link

Baby, You're not mine
I'm not giving you the time
I'm too busy
writing my lines
in sweetness sublime
Baby, Get away
I don't want to play
With 
Your sandbox of toys
Your mommy took away
I'll drive my Tonka truck
All over your face
To release you games
Don't you cry
at me in shame
I'll make you...

My heart, at times, seems very vile 
I get lost, and then react from pain
But my soul longs to see your smile

I look back later, there is no denial
Things I say must hurt, must drain
 My heart, at times, seems very vile

I'm the prosecutor in...

What kind of policy is this?
Who is posting, constructing or transcribing more than 10 a day?
There must have been a culprit to enforce this policy.
Some PREMIUM member was it?

I've had
A gutful of this
I'm going to triangulate 
My findings and then triangulate 
My toast
Mother used to...

I can't help but find it ridiculously absurd
when people call Biden a liar and a fraud
yet believe Trump is truthful with his word.
Cheering his fictitious claims, they applaud!

That man has spun so many webs of lies,
that he has to tell more to cover his butt.
Blaming...

His calloused finger tips caressed the stings with fire one last time
As he played the cords of his emotions with passion as he climbed
A lifetime of memories that night were burned upon the strings
Flames from his soul flew through the coliseum on golden wings
The music...

A Letter Sent 

Once I wrote a love letter, mind I have written a few 
Before, but never sent them. I sent it as it encapsulated 
my intense love for her, but also wrote it in the hope 
she would come back. She did not....
