Upon the chaise in vacant parlour...

That what the watchers are watching, is something to behold.

The Question
I've asked this question before,
but I'm going to ask it once more,
If religion is right and your God has the might,

To witness the great work of creation
When from the dust emerged the first man

And the reconstruction thereafter
The earliest civilization on Egypt soil
Unfolded before my...

A man Cromwell considered a friend,
To stand before him accused of high treason
His actions against parliament to defend
As radical leader of the ‘Levellers’
John opposed Parliament fervently,
With his clandestine printing...

This Old House
This house was part-founded by the nobles
Who counseled the monarchs of our land
Then strengthened by the Magna Carter
Signed by King Johns’ royal hand

Down In Westminster

I was down in Westminster the other night
and there I saw a most horrible sight.

My Life
My Life
First 40 went by
In the blink of an eye
At times I would try
But would fail and then cry
Impressed “friends” with fast cars
Too much time inside bars
My head was so high
It was visiting Mars

Behind the tinseled shamrocks you will see
There hides a profound history.
An island tale from the land so fair
So much deeper than a mug of green beer

And here’s a...

Faced with which I want to pull out my hair
Being more at home in a festive occasion.
Flee the pessimism of the puritan's pulpit
There is...

Death Mask
On a recent visit to Warwick Castle,
We saw the death mask of Oliver Cromwell:
The man famous for asking an artist to paint
His portrait and show him warts and all.
I studied the stern features of...

Suffocates him while he sleeps

She stabs him several hundred times

I was never a child.
