The Jab

I am somewhat disenchanted by what I’ve seen and read
Antivaxxers believe the lie that soon the vaccinated will be dead
That our leaders are out to get us, dictating what we need
and will decrease the population by deciding how we breed

I’ve heard more twisted theories...

in a flash Santa took off
he has a case of whooping cough
the reindeer are wired
now hungry and tired
they say it is time for beef stroganoff...

My Boredom Disease
Like sick allergies, 
Boredom can be passed around
I call it: THE BOREDOM DISEASE

Like a horrid storm,
Boredom can catch you off guard
Hold on for DEAR LIFE!

Like the whooping cough,
Boredom can be serious
If I were you, I’d
Get a vaccination !...

Un-Welcome To America
He welcomed them with open arms
and now their flowing in
No ID,  Health screen, Background checks
and they're bringing all their "kin"

Two to three day holding stage
then send them on their way
Give them Future Hearing dates
they "Vanish" in a day

     Divided ...

Worldly Woes
A little man stood at Heavens gate
with a sad look on his face.
He explained why he wished to enter
such a Hallowed place.

St Peter loosened the golden chain
and slid open the silver bar,
then listened to the story
with the big gate slightly ajar.

Please hear my tale of...

Vaccinations
To vaccinate or not?
What about diseases we forgot?
Like polio, T.B and Smallpox?
Kids can't take peanuts to school, or not,
But they can bring Measles and Whooping Cough.
What other diseases have we forgot?
To vaccinate or not?...

Premium Member Childhood Memories
Preserving Childhood memories

Those years are like dusty boxes of old books
Each book classify as a quantum leap for me.
My first steps that led to many things,
I kept thinking of my small bottle of goat’s milk
Flavored with Grenada nutmeg to tone down the taste:
Perhaps after my...

Who Will Sing Their Praises?
It was when I paused a moment from my workload’s pressing call 
that I gazed upon the picture frames which lined my office wall 
and I sensed a strange sensation and was soon to be beguiled 
by the host of beaming faces as six generations...

A Winters Tale
A Winters tale...........................

As a child I never wondered, 
What life we could have had. 
I never blamed society, 
Or questioned my Mum and Dad. 

Though now as an adult I realise, 
How tough a life we led. 
Cold, cold winters in a council house, 
Sharing...

Smile, Your Name Is Linda
I saw a wrinkled-faced woman so lost and scary,
and from her swelled eyes, tears of desperation ran;
it boldly told everyone that nobody cared...
but that humble human being moved me deeply.


I couldn't go past her and not find out 
why she was so distraught 
among faces...

Ted and Fred In Our Heads
Check in Ted,
Check in Fred.
Office space in the nervous system,
and the employees are nervous,
one wrong move and kablamo,
they are splattered on the ceiling,
on the floor.
Brain matter would be everywhere,
but no matter,
the show must go on.
Impulses convulse and pulse here and there,
and Ted and Fred are...

Free Cee Take a Kill Pill
TAKE A KILL PILL

dear mr. lobbyist I have something to say unto you
I want to discuss the job you do
you line your pockets to legalize a pill
completely disregarding the poor souls it just may kill

have you seen the ads millions of people see?
they run them...

When I Was Young Mother Nature Was Also Cross
When I was young

Today I still remember all of it
The same as when I was a kid

Don't remember this virus though
Just measles, coughs and some serious colds 

Along with chicken pox and whooping cough
Had them all as well me
 But i had no BCG... to...

Mandate
New York City workers
Must be vaccinated or
If they show up for work, they will
Be firmly shown the door.

I’m heartened by this mandate
And especially in schools.
It’s time to bid farewell to all
The anti-vaxxer fools.

We’ve all been pricked for smallpox,
For measles and the mumps
And whooping cough and...
