But no cheers for
To pass from people’s probing eyes, two cheers,
To pass from all their strident cries, two cheers.
None, merely to kiss the crest of success,
But to stay there and ever wise, two cheers.

My wonderful wife
My Wonderful Wife
Here — the one who bears the fruit of my loins.
Here — the cheerleader of my flawed bravado.
Here — the bearer of the yoke of my incessant brokenness.
Here — the moon that shines, irrespective of the season.
Here — the one true bridge between life and death.
Here — the one who foils the foul

Cheers!
If painless,
enjoy the blessed
moment:
Like Icarus I crave
the brilliant soar,
back to earth~ the
inevitable fall…
enjoy the moment
free
before the sudden stop…
meet me, somewhere
between the top and
bottom of the flop
I’m buying – no strings
attached....

Cheers to 60 years!!!
A walk down memory lane...
Let's refresh your life again...
To rejoice all you've lost and gained,
To cherish all your joys and pain..
From a boy into a man you grew,
As a surgeon into the Uk you flew,
Blessed with a wife with love so true
Master to Archie ,a doting dad to two...
Cherished by friends adored by colleagues,

I shall read you a poem in my drunken state,
if my speech is slurred, forgive me mate,
it is a cocktail of rum, vodka and cognac,
if boss finds out I will surely get the sack!
so am i drinking at work? you may ask,
yes, my mate, from my steel thermos flask,
I bring in to work each morning

Three Cheers for the Tardigrade
Of all creatures in the animal parade,
there's but one that each habitat does pervade.
It can live any place -
Antarctica or space.
Three cheers for the adaptable tardigrade!

My heart pleads
My heart pleads, and I know not how to proceed,
You shine just like phosphorus in outer space~
As Venus’ nebula that draws eyes with speed,
A celestial reign of elegance and grace.
In my mind, your love has always come with fame;
Your stars still brighten, needing no lunar peek.
With a lilt not lost in hubbub’s show of shame,
A

Sadness glooms
Sad can permeate,
Grey, dank days create,
Time heals, does pass by,
Gloom sees end to each sigh,
We all need remedies,
Keep up face smilies,
Each person can use,
New focus to choose,
Once we all wailed,
Again the assassins have failed,
You'll wake in own skin,
Cheers! is best medicine!

Three Cheers for Abutments
Supporting bridges over ravines
or gap-toothed kings and queens
abutments may be improperly named
BUT they’re effective all the same

Cheers To The Brave
Cheers to the heart
That's truly bound
A sincere fate.
Cheers to the mind
That's hit the nail
In one strike.
Cheers to the man
Who meet his wife
Amidst the rain.
Cheers to the one
Who wins first prize
Despite all facts.
