Yabba Dabba Doo at the Gabba


Our Nordic God run roughshod by the cynics

Mimics all those skeptics & pundits in pulpits

Sod odd bod critics clinics their unfair optics

Hysterics but Bazball clerics are not yet relics 

Despite batting lapse alright collapse specifics

The insult not horrific result of cult’s gimmicks

Got it wrong will still sing same mesmeric song lyrics


Twits witticisms & criticisms taken a toll…troll gits

Shaken has Bazball forsaken its soul..drole misfits

No more stealth or self control just abysmal skits

Dismal death roll rigmarole gambits whole Bazball in bits?

On the dole or run rate wealth in rude health call it quits

Flits their way to play their flair hits as prole media spits 

Grandstand Baz Ben stable fable big band brand label fits 

Aussies canned.. gawking Larrikin ti*s balking..its the pits


Goal corking victory at the Gabba hoodoo fortress venue

Folks blabber talking of Stokes blokes stalking voodoo

Oz jibber jabber fibber distress as we made history..phew 

Yes JuJu mystery temptress played express Yabba Dabba Doo!

So who are the Has Beens ?


Appalling.. hard not to diss the taking the piss

No not talking about the corking bliss of Travis  

Bazball calling card just a scarred hubris abyss


Head’s rabid ripsnorter slaughter so rapid

Livid our boys stupid not vivid instead vapid


Fan fury wishing they will stop fishing

Hack jury dishing out flak still swishing 


Go toe to toe with our oldest coldest foe

Blow by blow new low ego the worst woe


Wickets in a row..have a go free flow they all crow

Forget every aficionado all about Bazball bravado

Can hear them say no other way to play we know


Can’t teach reach each puppet that Mac did bestow 

Beseech after another breach it’s the Muppet show


Boycott & Vaughan did warn along with many ex baggie greens

After the laughter at rafter of dafter scenes…still chill your beans

Really.. Stokes bespoke blokes choked were smoked...“Has Beens”!

Enjoy Life

Fresh air outside and sun.
The day is wonderful and fun.
The ocean, beach. Why are you home?
Get out. Run. Jump on a boat.
.
The laughs and smiles. Call your friends.
Tell funny story. Start to end.
And when you see that that stopped working.
Lift up Champagne and start un-corking.
.
The booze is floating. Hurrah.
Somebody dances on a bar.
A bar, a bra - oh those letters.
Who can pronounce 'em. Forget it.
.
Where was I? On a bar? Who cares.
The party moves to Caballero's.
The music plays. All pips are awesome.
Another round? Evening blossoms.
.
Next day will come. We all aware.
And maybe some will need to share
A taxi, money, friends or bottle.
To "freshen up" with one or couple.
.
But that's tomorrow, yet unknown.
Today is great and we feel flown.
Forget the problems. We all say -
You live just once. Get up and play.


The Poet

With a thought in mind,
a brain bubbling in thought; 
a brain storm, a short circuit,
an eye gazing at everything.

With a pen in hand,
and a vein jerks out of hand,
an ear on the ground,
railing out roaming words.

With a gather of figures,
a fact strolls in heart,
connecting fingers to pen,
putting pen to paper,
a poet writes his heart. 
A poet writes his society. 
A poet writes his fantasy.
His fictions; his love, he writes.

He sees beyond his imaginations,
and writes beyond his scope.
A poet proposes prose for prospect.
A poet, a pen full of points,
 writes in sleeps.
Writes on stones; writes of evil,
and writes on everything. 
A poet, a pen pulling past plans.

Before a poet pants, he plans.
Before he plans he ponders. 
When a poet ponders, he pulls,
pulling pen to the trigger,
corking pen to pen down events.

As history re-emerges; events emerges;
submerging traitors of history, 
submerging traitors of our time,
submerging traitors of season. 

A poet with his poetic regalia, 
donning his poetic gown.
With his poetic shield of history,
With his poetic armor,
throws a poetic spare to the enemies of history.
