Terry Pratchett
I could murder a curry, Death mumbled under his voice
A Terry Pratchett icon in his fantastic discworld universe 
Imagination…the inspiration of many
This legend awe inspiring…
Every book, every tale
Breathing new life into each 
Even as his was failing
A small token of homage
For soo many hours spent
Ensconced...

Captain Job Terry
Don’t you know Job Terry? 
I thought everybody knew Job Terry

My name is Captain Job Terry,
my people from Kerry
But I a Poughkeepsie Celt.
I make a dashing impression,
Held down the whaling profession 
For at least two score or more.

I’ve worked the coast like a rambler
Broke bread...

Terry Parker Deceased
After finishing a seminar based on demand and supply,
I walked out to the street and hailed a taxi going by,
and as I sat down in the seat, the taxi driver said to me,
‘my, my, your timings perfect, you are just the same as Terry.’ ...

Terry Flynn
Terry Flynn is a man I know but I can’t say when or where,
And when I try to look him up he isn’t really there.

When I try I can see his smile but I can’t remember his whole face,
I can see us sitting at a...

Premium Member Terry, a Naughty Boy - Nursery Rhyme
Terry tried to cross the wall with one bound;
					
And had his two front teeth crowned!	
						
Near his granny's house, a lake he found;
					
Not knowing beans about swimming, he drowned;

And gallons of muddy water he downed!

Not sitting quiet, he irked an angry hound;

Catching his calf, it got...

A trip downtown's a pleasure
Worth walking every mile
In 'Dannys' is a treasure
With a rare and charming smile
 
You're greeted with a welcome
Winter, summer, spring or fall
And she leaves you feeling better
Every shopper, one and all
 
A fragrant rose, so special
In a bed of weeds and...

Ages of Rock

For many years I bubbled beneath the deep Earth’s crust
Hot and molten ever moving, upward trying to thrust 
Suddenly a crack appeared, above...

Our Terry was a wonderful Lad, 
today the family are so sad
He passed today and we don't know why
the angels  have taken him up to the sky

He was a cracking son, who loved his mum
a brother,  a friend, to everyone.
but most of all he was...

THIS IS JUST A PUBLIC THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL SO GOOD
AND AT LAST, IN LARGER NUMBERS, BEING UNDERSTOOD
I WRITE WHAT I FEEL AS YOU ALL DO
AND THAT'S WHY I THANK YOU
MY NUMBERS HAVE INCREASED EXPONENTIALLY
AND THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY
THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE...

Touched in the head a little like he is.

Yes you are a James Taylor in the making
Or where you fooling and only faking
I cook chips I don't do baking
Cakes and pies are so pains...
