The Iselin FairWhen we were young we went to the fair
With our brothers and our sisters
We tilted on the Tilt-a-Whirl
And we twisted on the Twisters
We bulleted on the Bullet
And quite dizzy we would feel
But my stomach always turned and turned
When...

Googled and BamboozledGoogled and Bamboozled
When she saw my eyes they both were googled
Causing her to be dumfounded and bamboozled
And then ended up becoming completely baffled
When off all my entire brains had been raffled.
How big of a hint do you ever have to receive?
Before belligerent mind soon...

Reminding all those there of you and me
And such a short life together we did live
Total devotion to each other we would give.

a special star in the sky that shone always brighter then the sun
You had the rare ability Alison of seeing auras around each soul
and when you spoke about it, your eyes pinned...

I dread the United States presidential 2024 outcomeI dread the United States presidential 2024 outcome...
Whereby yours truly presages and doth abhor
nothing short of an imminent civil war
dwarfing insurrection on January 6, 2021
oddly enough even reducing
ordinary decibels to a mute whisper
madding crowd trumpeting cacophony of 'th?r
drowning out sense and sensibility
allowing, enabling, and providing

Souls IntertwineTears soothe heart's sorrow
A shoulder to lean heals the weak.
No soul seals the heart’s pore

As a star needs a night to shine.
Souls intertwine.
No man fills an island
Even testos do ease in she hand.
Sole forage...

Lovely weather for Dunners' ducksLovely weather for Dunners' ducks (tongue in cheek peek at Dunedin's historic deluge)
"Stares upstairs..
Angels’ weeing above..
Be a good chap..
Show some love bruv..
Turn off the tap..

No refuge from the subterfuge of the deluge..
Parched sandbag phalanxes..
Ranks marching in flanks..
Arching across busted banks..
Quaffing..scoffing..downpour spanks..

Disbelief at the leisurely river...
