 If you go to Villa Park
You'll be in for a lark.
From kickoff the opposition will look on fire
But that is because Villa are so dire.
The goals go in one two three four
By halftime it could end as a cricket score.
The Villa fans slide down...

Some say that he was the "Robin Hood" for the poor in Old Mexico
                  Others say he was a tequila drinking horse thief, murderer to boot

yonder is a flaming red, vintage corolla

         basking in the sun in the yard of this villa,

                    ...

A thin layer of rosy clouds
Greets the morning sun as it breeches
The hills over Rice Lake
And Villa da Rosa. My eyes open
As the light penetrates my indigo soul
And my thoughts, invariably,
Turn to you…and sunrises.
I’ve seen the sun rise
Over the Rockies and chase
The fog away; seen...

Welcome to the illicit villa
Where people come and go
A brief warmth of the palm 
A touchy heart, a hearty laugh
Then out through the elusive door
Customary customers they are called,
All young and old

Accommodations are provided
Free advice and service for all
Short of mannequins? Just give us a...

My love, there was no greater
she held my heart in her hands
her first kiss
the arrow that pierced
if only she could know
I ceased to exist
when she let me go
a thousand love letters
before and after
meant nothing at all
she thought I was empty
depression hides your soul
she has her...

VILLA NEL

Passion does not a relationship make
Nel was a love of mine so long ago
In that villa overlooking the lake

Our time as one was short, for pity’s sake
A summer’s month offered no time to grow
Passion does not a relationship make

She left, and I was bereft...

In the heart of the city, where legends embark.
Stands the famous old stadium, they call Villa Park.
A club full of honours, with a history so rich.
I'm proud when I see Aston Villa on the pitch.

From the very old days in the lower divisions.
These days you'll...

Down my childhood memory lane, the Rainbow villa,
Looking ornate with ROSETTE for the jocund ceremony,
Myriad exotic FERNS swaying in the flamboyant GARDEN 
A lofty PORCH with majestic chairs for the exalted circle,
The august front DOOR with the texture of rose wood grey,
An oaken STAIRCASE slithered...

Citizens were upset 
With the Honey Hornets set 
They played dance songs 
But it was all wrong 
Records being abused 
Scratching them when used 
Stingers created a vibe 
That said let the music die 
Before the first forty five ended 
Twilight Zone Rod should be...

Lily White 
Being firm and money tight 
Headed to the golden sands looking just right 
There was Mr. Bourne and his mouth 
Packing the cherries to go south 
“Young lady what can I do for you? 
Maybe a pint filled with my special brew?” 
Looking...

i've just been reliably informed that 
the manchester united dressing room was bugged
before their match at aston villa 
it is a shocking security breach 
but classic sci-fi can be a bit hit and miss
like my pancakes
but we soldier on 
we have tickets for the opera
as...

English translations of Latin poems written by the ancient Roman poetess Sulpicia.



I. At Last, Love!
by Sulpicia
translation by Michael R. Burch

It's come at last! Love!
The kind of love that, had it remained veiled,
would have shamed me more than baring my naked soul.
I appealed to Aphrodite in...

I'd never sat through A Thriller
In which a Tiller,not Killer
Was The Intended Godzilla;
Whether in town shot or villa:
The killer always The Pillar...

Never the Farm-Minding Tiller
Nor Grocery-Running Miller
Nor wheel-chair confined Bruce Bila
Unholstered-Gun-Bearing Killer
A Thriller makes a real feeler
And its marketer wise dealer;
In his films loved by...
