Best Thay Poems
His deepest belief was in truth,
His greatest faith was in God,
He was selfless in his pursuit,
Millions followed where he trod!
He wore no crown, robes or tie,
He was no king, had no kingdom,
Thin and small at five foot five,
He won his people their freedom!
He lived life about the same time,
Adolf Hitler unleashed his anger,
millions perished to Nazi crime,
But Gandhi put no one in danger.
race discrimination he boldly fought,
in South Africa as a young lawyer,
No guns or swords he ever sought,
But he lead by fasting and prayer!
He was by birth a religious Hindu,
But respected all the world beliefs,
All religions were one in his view,
They were same in their motives.
Love, peace, path of nonviolence,
were all his weapons of resistance,
Absorbing anger, showing patience,
he lead India to its independence.
Great minds, common people like us,
Called him Mahatma, a great Soul,
He was likened to Jesus and Moses,
As they revered and pursued his goal.
He fasted to unite the rioting people,
Who killed because of religious strife,
They prayed in mosques and temple,
And thay all prayed only for his life!
On a prayer morning in late January,
Two hate bullets tore his loving heart,
His life put out by ignorance and fury,
he was killed by a world torn apart!
Even several decades after his death,
His message of love shines through,
Like many prophets before his birth,
His life’s mission, to save me and you!

Rats rats rats
I’m scared of creepy crawly rats
Thay have beedy eyes and a long slivering tail
And the ones around here are as big as cats.
Rats rats rats
There’s countless millions everywhere
Nesting in your knicker draw
And crawling trough your hair
Rats rats rats
I was staggering home pickled from the pub last night
When I saw the whole ground move like a giant carpet
It gave me such a fright
They can crawl from the sewer into your toilet bowl
And bite you on your bum
So always check you haven’t one.
Rats rats rats
Their dirty and have fleas
They breed and multiply so fast
And they say they spread disease
When I'm in my bed at night
i get under the covers
Holding my pillow tight
Just in case one crawls through the window
What a fright..
Rats rats rats
Their intelligent creatures so they say
I’d never hurt a tame one
Just keep them rats away.

'S' is a Sibilant
So is the letter 'Z'
Sans one of my front teeth
Sounds a tad more like 'Zhee'
'Say' and 'See' ~ 'Thay' and 'Thee'
'Stay asleep' ~ 'Thtay athleep'
'Sanks a lot' ~ Thanks a lot!

Stranded in war torn Sudan,
Dreading yet another dawn.
In Wadi Sayyidna town,
Hopelessness was weighing down.
Men and women, young and old,
Watched the civil war unfold.
Homeless, desperate, full of fear,
Longing for their near and dear.
Then on 27th April night,
A C-130J took flight.
Manned by pilots skilled and brave,
Tasked to rescue and to save.
They were flying almost blind,
No navigation aids would they find.
Degraded strip, no landing lights
In the darkness of the night.
Infrared sensors scanned the ground;
No inimical force was found.
Using goggles for night vision,
Thay carried out their tough mission.
An enthralling tale had begun;
Six score passengers and one
Shepherded onto the plane.
Headed for their homes again.
Valor of the highest kind,
Audacity was redefined.
The Hercules and its brave crew
Achieved a feat of derring-do.
India's vaunted military might,
Wrote another chapter bright
In our valiant history;
There for all the world to see.

Im in the Darkness of depression In the depth of my despair.
I called out into the blackness nobody seems to be there.
Thay say to ring this number for help you will be seen
But for 24 hour help you talk to a machine.
So you have no-one to talk to and tell them how you feel
My brain goes insane thinking these things are real
So when I cut myself wishing my life will end
JUST remember all I wanted was someone to listen
A DOCTOR NURSE OR FRIEND....

Don't be intimidated by my curves
my swervy loveliness
my mocha skin glistening in,
the moonlight inviting you in
don't be shy when you see my thigh
how silky and thick, long and slick those legs are
And that dip in my hip
Are you scared? Do you like the texture of my hair?
don't be intimidated by my voluptuous bosom
see how they hang, look how they swang
Chocolate globes with the fudgy peaks, more than a handful
thay speak, for themselves
my round rump but not too plump
sexy it is as it walks away
my gorgeous build should have you filled with
pride, lust and admiration
So show appreciation for the full figured diva
who stands before you
my swervy loveliness glistening in the moonlight
Inviting you in
I'm lovin the skin i'm in

Little did she know,
Every day that passes by,
Her heart blooms like a flower who met sunlight for the first time.
Her cold hard lips now curving into a sincere smile each time their eyes meet.
Her sad eyes beginning to show some light.
Her messed up emotions back to its own place.
All of this happening because of only for reason,
One reason that we all know.
That one boy whose beautiful eyes stopped her heartbeat,
That one boy whose captivating smile turned her knees weak,
Thay boy whose overwhelming charisma changed her perception.
And she all wanted is to escape.
Escape from this unwanted feelings.
The feelings that had bloomed inside of her,
The feelings she once wanted to avoid,
The feelings that had hurt her before,
The feelings that turned her ice cold.
But it's too late.
She knows she is in a deep mess.
And the only way to escape,
By loving him more each day.
Hoping that one day,
Love will settle into its place.

If Hugh jackman,s time as wolverine is thrue .
Then maybe I can fynd him , sumthing else 2 du !
He could play a part in James d.hudnall,s Espers moovee ,
Or show . And if Tim minear would direct it , lots of unemployed actors ,
Would have sum wair 2 go !
Hugh jackman could play that brit dude hoo has super speed !
Shay astar plays Linda Williams , she tried 2 save her dad from
Terrorist , but she did not suckseed !
Mario Lopez could play the American indian levatator
Hoo can give his frend a ride .
We could get that jap boy from the 100 2 play the kid
Hoo has lightning on his side !
Rebecca gay heart can play that south American reporter
Hoo has a force field & can Tellyport . Tommy from third rock
Can play Alan black hoo creates magic cards & can escape from
Any fort ! Josie Davis can play sky Channing , she can just touch things
And know just wair thay bin , but will these be enough super powers
2 let these sykicks win ? David Hubbard can play the Jamaican cook
Hoo is immune 2 flame . Jeffrey Donavan can play that Russian spy
Hoo fails at killing them & takes most of the blame !...

Shab-e-visal kay lamhoon ki wooh muntashir sochain
Meray naseeb ko dasti raheen wooh baykhabar sochain,
Bahut say khawab suhanay nazar main youn tahray
Meray zehan main bhatakti raheen wooh raat bhar sochain,
main jan paya na teray khayaloon kay samundar ko
Meray kareeb hi tehreen theen wooh hamsafer sochain,
Wooh lamhay jo sari duwaoon kay thay raigan guzray
Meray khayalon main machalti raheen wooh muatbar sochain,
yeh jazba kaisa tha jo tujh ko kareeb la na saka
Meri tarha bhi toti theen wooh bay assar sochain.

Raat guzray gi tu rakh layna bharam ajj kay baad
Hum na ayen gay kabhi shehar main teray ajj kay baad
Woh teray sheroon aur gazloon main mera khoo sa jana
Ab na parh payen gay dewan teray ajj kay baad,
Mujh ko lafzoon main saja kay jo kabhi likhy thay
Honthoon pay woh geet na ayen gay teray ajj kay baad
Sham aye gi tu pher chand bhi batlay ga hamain
Woh na jhankay ga kbhi ghar main teray ajj kay baad.

Falling frum the sky ! Why thay pay him 4 this . Noe one noze why!...

Haiku may be hard,
But isn't it random words?,
Running out of syl-...
Dog sits on floor,
Hairy dog sits on floor,
Cat sleeps on floor...
I like drinking cola,
It makes me go very hyper,
It is very funny...
Cardigens and teeth,
Makes a granny very very sweet,
Thay always scare me...
The green bin with bag,
Sat lonely on the carpet,
In the English room...

A luv ma life sae full o' joy,
I keep ma interests at full employ.
Each day fur me is sic' delight,
every day, aw' day an' ivery night.
I go tae bed an' lay doon ma heid,
aye richt efter ma supper feed.
Ma thochts are o' beautiful things,
an' tae ma wee brain sic' pleasure brings.
Ah even dream afore ah sleep,
aye, ah do, afore a count those sheep.
Aw' the happy things that has been ma day,
ma wife,ma daughter, sons an' all things ofay.
I'm lucky growing plants is my joy,
auld as I am noo, an' since a boy.
Saft , verdant, vibrant, aw' kinds o' colour,
that grow in winter, spring, autumn an' summer.
I luv sculpture as weel as ma bonny plants,
an' aboot them ah very oaften rant.
An' a luv ma Gairden that's foo o' life,
sno' though, as luvly as ma Bonny wife.
An' ma bairns gei me luvly dreams,
aw life's great, thats what is deemed.
So when ma heid has passed tae sleep,
aw thay luvly thoughts ma soul dis keep.
When I awake frae ma gentle dreams,
wae that first gentle saft sunbeam.
Am oot o' bed like lightnin' jack,
an' oaf tae work wae ma luncheon pack.
Workin' among aw ma bonny fluers,
ah tend no' tae notice ma wurkin 'oors.
Of back noo ,tae ma ain luvly hame,
luvly , 'cos nae ither hoose wid feel the same.
Ma ither joy is cookin' fur aw ma folks,
an' I'll no' mention ma luv fur jokes.
Then there is ma luv in writin' poems each day,
am sure oan FanStory yea arrr' aw' ofay.
A guid night wae aw' ma kin beside,
ma happy face yea canny hide.
Hae ma supper then tae bed I go,
thinking beautiful things, Aye, that is so.
The Auld Yin.
