Philip Island Cowes in June 2025

2025.06.15

It was quite a while ago, 
I came here and wrote,
"BB was not here" and "JJ is here
On Queen Birthday 10 Jun 2024".
These words were written on the sand
On the the shores of both sides of the pier.
As time passed on, JJ sat and watched
The waves washed up onto the words,
Slowly encroached, engulfed and wiped
Them

I can be, but have never been, iniquitous.

some light a candle
and some blow it out ~ and some
watch the whole house burn

one in three ~ crazy
~ look to your right then left ~ they're
okay ~ then you're it

camp in the wild told
to fish for food ~ better be
cows in the water

McDonald lines ~ do
tax returns or menu stares ~
same when you were

fool me once shame on 
me ~ fool me twice shame on you ~
but more I ignore ...

facts of life ~ well taught
lives well ~ so-so not so well ~
not at all ... jail cell

Spring to life ... summer
lounge ... fall remembered ~ then say
colder than least year

I dream to forget
you ... not at night

Premium MemberFrankly My Dear, We Have a Lot To Fear

Northerners are heading south 
Blue and Orange in an east coast bout 
Right now individuals who are sweet and peach 
Relaxing sunning on a Tampa Bay beach 
Not showing power 
To those folks on an island filled with skyscraping towers 
Still vacationing enjoying rays 
Hoping weekend forecast will say 
Weather fine for a three game

Life Is Unpredictable

Today,We may be close 
to our loved ones
But tomorrow,
We might turn up 
being complete strangers.
Before,You would have 
never ceased to put a smile on 
somebody's face
But now,You could be 
the only reason for their 
firmness and gloominess.
Hence,frankly speaking..
"Memories have no Death"
Whenever you feel dejected 
just remember 
few joyful hearts...
You'll surely feel glad.!!

The first three lines of this verse are the magicicada — additional letters are put in for effect. Perhaps you see a kite?

Love Frankly

Of Scripture! 
Oh! The blind text, Sire! 
Leave it far 
Stay free in this bar,
In living treasure.

Come and love frankly
Everyone and everything
For the sake of God
This world for you and for me
God created equally.

Frankly Speaking

There is a couple on the beach, they have a small room, been on the beach for years, suffered through the worst of it. They have been through every phase. The Hippie, the war protesters -the poet-the artist - the "free love fest"- the heavy duty weed scene, "hell no we won't fn go"

Premium MemberTell Me Frankly

Tell me Franky
can you explain to me zany
Do you mean purple porcupines
please speak to me plainly
My thoughts are quite slippery
perhaps because it's rainy
My brain feels in pain
ideas making me crazy

Can you make sense out of silly
like mellow mooses eating cheezies
Why does that striped buffalo 
like yellow snow freezies
Does a crocodile loose his mind
or turn into

Frankly Yours

Dearest D.G.,
it appears to me...
you have a slight quandary!

Let me clarify your confusion,
you frivolous fop...
your relationship is a flop.

Lose his number,
as it seems to be...
you were a dirty secret.

His "sister" likely a wife,
don't wreck her life...
just walk away.

His phone neither broken,
nor is it hid...
you naive kid.

He is not shy,
simply attempting to be shy...
"remodeling" a tricky

Frankly

i have crafted and shafted and then re positioned
divulged and indulged to precise disposition 
yet frankly my points are most blunt at the end and my walls tend to fall at the slightest of bends
be it not such a bridge but a try at amends, with a friend who is quite hard of hearing

Frankly You Dident Give a Dam

Frankly you didn't give a dam
That pretty much summed up
the whole future of the film industry.

People throw their hands  up and say
I do not give a dam  about what children
watch and mold their lives after.

I don't Give a dam when parents 
protested the type of shows that
were placed before the family.

You dont give

In hopes of gaining a heap of knowledge,

   Frank had blown a ton of dough for college!

      But to be perfectly frank,

         He'd have more bucks in the bank,

Clark Gable Vivian Leigh,
both have a place in history.
If we look back is it true that he sinned?
His words have survived, they haven't "Gone With The Wind".

Nineteen thirty nine the world was in shock,
all those who heard him couldn't help but talk.
They said the countries morals were in disrepair,
now people say what they want and
