Corbel?

Corbel vaulted said the bubbly flute
Only newbies take the ladders and chutes
Dash & stash the HatSheps suit!
Thirty three feet and a forty, on the one.

The Muse started playing to the DJ’Stone
and Jo said to Mo, please, let me cum in?
I’ll step aLong Lightly the Rivers way
aSwan is swimming in the bright of day
Two little statues sitting in the shade
Then four came too and a six was made
.
Set !n Her temple and named on her street
the woman turned saying, she likes her Scotch neat.

My mind sublime as a girl in her rhyme do know
Said a voice from the .. where did he go? 
Rolls to Shadow, I’m sure I’m dreaming again…

Ian Sagar

At the age of 17 Ian broke his back, 
In a motorbike accident, had rehab, 
He then worked for a w/c company, 
Who showed him w/c basketball fab. 

For 3 years he played in the club, 
Of the Sheffield Steelers, and then, 
He transferred to the Tameside Owls, 
To join the British team of deft men. 

In 2009 at the European Champs,  
Ian and team won the bronze, Turkey, 
And then in Israel at more Europeans, 
,2011, the team collected gold monkey. 

In 2013 at the Europeans in Frankfurt, 
The basketball team won the lush gold, 
Then in 2015 in Worcester, East Sussex, 
He rolled his team into another gold. 

So when Rio came they were ready, 
And took the bronze from Turkey, 82-76,
Ian was born in Barnsley a 3 pointer,
On the 29th March 1982, quick sticks.

Premium Member Step Right Up To the Plate and Earn Your Paycheck

Do you make sure to tap all the dirt from your spikes with your bat,
 even if it takes two full-length TV time-outs for you to do so?

Do you cross yourself once, twice, thrice,
 or perhaps fidget and fiddle with the letters on your uniform,
  no matter that they're sewn on so tightly that Superman himself couldn't
   budge 'em?  

Do you rub your hands together vigorously enough to make 'em bleed,
 perhaps because you've just spit into them in the on-deck circle?

Do you take myriad cumbersome practice swings with three weighted bats,
 flinging them aside to wave the feathery club remaining menacingly as you
  turn to face the pitcher?
  
Do you dance and prance to some hip melody, like an apprentice snake-
charmer, as you approach the plate, inviting fans to heap trashloads of scorn and abuse on the batting helmet perched atop your fashionably overlong hair?

Or do you stride to the plate purposefully without all of that fussing and  
 fumbling, or all that commotion, to focus on doing what batters have 
  historically tried to do, which is to hit the tarnation out of that little round
   ball zooming toward them at upwards of 90 m.p.h?
---Well, if that's what you do, then I am sure you're not a major-league player:
     They earn their $4.5 million annual paychecks by doing 
                                all that other stuff.

Sophie Reiff, Trophy Wife

Is this the weekend, by the way?
           (I always think it’s Saturday!)
           Load the kids up in the car –
           country club (I hit the spa:
           hand the kids to gay Adolphe –
           calisthenics, crazy golf).
           I spoil myself – it helps the stress –
           the kids are having fun (I guess).
           Fox News Tom Cruise
           No Jews designer shoes.
           Rufe’s so square, a diplodocus:
           the kids will always be my focus.

           Everybody needs a break
           (we’re human too, for goodness’ sake).
           We just do the normal things:
           cabin in Borrego Springs,
           week in Vegas, see the shows,
           birthday dinner (Kiriko’s):
           never noodles, only sushi
           (table used by John Belushi) –
           private beach in old La Jolla
           (Rufe knows someone, bigshot lawyer):         
           cocktail bar, upholstered loungers
           (razor wire keeps out the scroungers).

           Juan’s the poolboy.  My help’s Auxi
           (Juanito’s neat, and Auxi’s mousey).
           Wears my cast-offs, lives on chilli –
           keeps her pay from getting silly.
           Neither’s legal – which is good:
           they stay grateful, like they should.
           Minimum wage would tie a noose to it:
           anyhow, they’re plenty used to it.
           She breastfeeds, Juanito hustles
           (fine-boned body, high-toned muscles).
           He’s moonlighting, pumping gas
           in San Diego, humping ass.

	   Rufe’s no idea what good taste is.
	   Parties with them friends of his.
	   I can’t stand them business folks –
	   Steaks and beers and dirty jokes.
	   I won’t go to meets or meals
           if I can’t wear my strapless heels
           and backless dress (Yves St Lauren)
           it’s not about impressing men
           (who cares what they think?) – it’s the wives
           it matters what a woman drives
           who fixed her hair.  What’s Satan’s curse?
           To show up toting last month’s purse.

Diamond Light

"Diamond Light"



Downy soft 
Love Light sharply glistens diamond prisms
from rainbow's seven colours, in each colour a meaning
imparts a visitation message from fallen angel off a gosling’s wing

A mother whispers secret stories
A child cries silently and remembers everything

In unread chapters
LOVE, is a strong army that loyally delivers Truth's reckoning

“Unmade”/Thom Yorke












“The old woman remembered a swan she had bought many years ago in Shanghai for a foolish sum. "This bird", boasted the market vendor, "was once a duck that stretched its neck in hopes of becoming a goose. And now look, it is too beautiful to eat!" Then the woman and the swan sailed across an ocean many thousands of lei wide, stretching their necks toward America. On her journey, she cooed to the swan, "In America, I will have a daughter just like me. But over there, nobody will say her worth is measured by the loudness of her husband's belch. Over there, nobody will look down on her because I will make her speak only perfect American English. And over there, she will always be too full to swallow any sorrow. She will know my meaning because I will give her this swan, a creature that became more than what was hoped for." But when she arrived in the new country the immigration officials pulled the swan away from her, leaving the woman fluttering her arms and with only one swan feather for a memory. For a long time now, the woman had wanted to give her daughter the single swan feather and tell her; "This feather may look worthless, but it comes from afar and carries with it all my good intentions."  

The Joy Luck Club

Joining

People join together to be part of something bigger;
Working next to others can infuse our veins with vigor.
Keeping to yourself is fine, but then you are deprived
Of camaraderie, which gets our eagerness revived.

A book club or a quilting class, the army or marines,
The P.T.A. or Rotary or pool league that convenes,
A dating site or any place our numbers make us strong;
It’s fun to flock with others, well-aware we do belong.

We sign our names or pay our dues or even make a pledge
That we will follow all the rules; our bets we will not hedge.
And then we proudly claim to be a member of the tribe,
Adherent of the practices to which they do subscribe.

Though lots of folks fly solo, many more link with a group,
Becoming an ingredient in some delicious soup;
For adding to the broth, we each bestow our special spice
And often, that’s a recipe for something mighty nice.

Premium Member The Legend of Nolan Ryan Major League Baseballs Strike Out King

It's not easy becoming a Legendary  
Major League Baseball pitcher.
It never was and will never be.
You get put through the wringer
and hung out to dry.
From time to time you'll get little or no
run support.
You may have to face Legendary Icons
of the game 2 and 3 times in a game.
Come face to face with undisguised 
Batting Champions.
Silver Slugger Award Winners.
Members and potential Members of the
500 Home Run Club.
Members and potential Members 
of the 3000 Hits Club 
A few Future Members of 
Baseballs Hall of Fame 
as well as Iconic MLB ALL STARS.
You will face monumental challenges.
You'll get worn down and roughed up
being on the road 82 games a season.

As a Major League Baseball Starting Pitcher
you suck it up, go out on the mound
and challenge history.
You bring your "A" game 
You bring your best fastball 
your best curve ball
and your best change up. 
When you average 33 starts a season.
Average 10 complete games per season.
Average 3 shut outs per season.
Throw a No Hitter every 3.857 seasons.
Face an average 972 batters per season.
Average 232 innings per season
Through hot , cold , humid and sticky weather. 
Give up an average 169 hits per season.
Average 232 innings per season.
Average 82 earned runs per season.
Give up an average 14 home runs in 33 games 
over 232 innings per season.
When you average 120 walks per season
Strike out an average 246 batters per season
for a career total of 5714.

It kinda looks like this.
6.6 hits per 9 innings
4.7 walks per 9 innings
9.5 strike outs per 9 innings
Over 27 seasons.
When you do that for a total of 27 seasons
The critics will call you the next
Nolan Ryan.
The Legendary Strike Out King
Member of Major League Baseballs 
Hall of Fame.

I am the roaring twenties 
And the cotton club. 
   I am Al Capone and his 
Thugs. 

   I am the rise of Joseph 
Stalin. 
   I am the age of science 
And penicillin. 

   I am Walt Disney and 
Mickey Mouse. 
   I am electricity in 
My house. 

   I am the stock market 
Crash. 
   I am the first Academy 
Award bash. 

   I am Miss America pageant 
The first time. 
   I am Valentino dies reads 
The headlines. 

   I am the great depression 
Sweeps the land. 
   I am Lindbergh on north 
Atlantic flight plan. 

   I am Betty Crocker and 
Wonder bread. 
   I am the great migration 
Watch me spread. 

   I am speakeasies and Gerber 
Baby food. 
I am the age of Jazz puts 
You in the mood. 

   I am the woman's right to 
Vote ,19th amendment. 
   I am seven-up, Coca cola's 
First resentment.
