You have the power to crush me
Did you think idle threats would push me
To the brink

If defeat is what you are after
To underestimate couldn't be dafter
Stop to think	

You crossed the border
Broke the code
Your action empty, loveless showed

This territory is sacred ground
The heritage of generations found
Solidarity and loyalty owed

And now we stand in unison
You fight each woman, daughter, son
Cowardly at best..

Is this test of selfish resolve.
We protect the ones we love
Against the bullying shove

Our goal is peace
What cost until hostility will cease
Depends, depends on you and me

Save tears and fears
For years and years
Desist with World War III

Not too Shabby Mate

“Not too Shabby”

(one of my market regulars wrote us a lovely letter.. to raise our flagging spirits..and this is our tribute to you Tom..who whenever you ask how he is?....says not too shabby)


Another market dawning

Under a Victorian awning

No fawning or scorning

Cheeky grin adorning


With aplomb..hedonic insights 

Sardonic delights of 

Another Tom/Com bomb


Ironic demonic highlights
 
Sarky sparky malarkey

Anarchy..heady heights

Of our Saturday morning


One of those sorts

Whatever the weather

Always sports shorts


The kind (of) bloke

Quick with a joke

No fibs…his nibs

Not woke..just needs dafter

Laughter…with everything broke



Tom loves heaps of peeps

But would confess

Except for the bolder

Older folks shoulder barges

Along with elbows pokes

Stropping they’re stopping 

Him shopping.. at Caithness


Tom’s other fave rave

Those prattling in Pak n Save

Crave.. best bet to shun

Send to their grave 

Run & get the Gatling gun


Different skills he brings

With his shiny dome

Has done many things

Did roam far from home

Bouncer in Alice Springs


Not one to boast

But made the most

Of his recent West coast

Host..decent Hokitika the toast


Got the mettle

In fettle so fine

Which’s why we purloined


The first rate line you coined

Tom.. you are a “Ray of Sunshine”

Great Celtic blue eyed trait


Not too shabby…mate

Premium Member I Never Wanted To Grow Up

The clothes pile has started to form itself into a grotesque man
The bedroom door will no longer open due to the heavy garbage can
The stench of the dirty dishes is annoying to say the least.
To get it all out of my mind I take a giant bite of pie – peach.

Don’t you think you should? My house mate starts to say.
But she watches my eyes furrow and narrow and scurries away.
If I wanted to clean and cook and scour and wash dishes and such
I would not have been born on this planet; for it is too much.

Like Peter Pan I never wanted to totally grow up
To pay bills, and rent, and take care of my cat and my pup.
I wanted to forever go to school and have fun and make laughter
This growing up thing is for others, people much dafter.

I know that eventually I will have to get a job and go to work every day.
But since the pandemic has arrived, it’s a great time to cavort and play.
Virus has not done anything but give me a fine relaxing slovenly break.
I’ll make a cobbler next, for it’s time to eat more sugar for Pete’s sake.

Will Flem be a gem?



The total bummer of our wasted Test summer….ahem

Does jar well below par no cigar not even a cafe creme

After another dafter dumber and dumber apophthegm

The tedium of this charlatan medium saying carpe diem

Couldn’t be any glummer still will take Baz to the ATM


Laughter him on a whim mending a forlorn torn hem

We pleaded tree needed to go not the Root but stem

Pretending will be happy ending Bazball’s Bethlehem


ECB & Key glib in tandem fib as random as a Lib Dem

English cricket’s viral spiral now coughing up phlegm

The gory gashes from Ashes lashes will still condemn 


Then Stokes says that’s all folks was absolute mayhem

Jokes he’ll back in the 2027 eleven it’s us versus them


After hoax new Kiwi bloke evokes masterstrokes a gem

No longer going for broke a stronger bespoke requiem

Will coax the magic unlike the tragic Bazball "La Boheme"

No superhero cloaks as from acorns grow oaks says Flem

The House of Lords




Bored of deplored 

Hordes of frauds

On abhorred company boards

Who applaud flawed

Seats stored…for cheats

Apply or buy on the fly

Enjoy till they die


Getting podgy..betting on dodgy bills 

Thrills of blue pills

Moolah the ruler

Swills..fills the tills



Cash revenues poured

Toured here & 

Did maraud abroad

All avenues explored

Scored a stash

Claps & back slaps

Promises will slash

Countries floored collapse

Nice one chaps

Ice caps thawed

Adored share price soared


Lust for boom & bust

Must lobby..trust us

Just a hobby jobby

Cigars smoked…booze soaked

Full to the gunnels

With coke choked 

Vasal nasal funnels


Despite our fears and nadirs

For years on the fiddle

Peers sneers & jeers

Snaking beast will feast

Diddle..taking the piddle

Not least the riddle 

Forgot forsaking the priest



Not reeling…Lords’ laughter

Cheers to Keir again

Feeling calmer after

Starmer’s dafter karma

Who’s forgotten it’s rotten

Even show pony Tony

Did more to stop

Crony phoney baloney


Our hopes on the ropes

Need a disdain campaign

Tropes to end 

Champagne reign of gain

This inane arcane 

Insane gravy train

Ben Stokes Stoic Martyr and Heroic Firestarter


Dare to dream Ashes nightmares it seems reawoken

Token words spoken after scares & flares teams broken 


Dafter peacocking then rocking no blocking just shocking

Mocking laughter of the ghost of Christmas future knocking


Host boast from coast to coast toast as England roast

Boiling..recoiling..toiling & broiling this is our last post


Our iridescent flaming proper copper haired laird

Incandescent flairs no taming his despairs we all shared

Luminescent cares blaming Bazball heirs ill prepared scared 


Stoic brawler our defiant mauler on a leaking reeking trawler

Too reliant on our brilliant defiant resilient glowering giant 


Big Ben set up camp crippled by his men again & ripples of cramp

Overpowering pain courses through every vein towering skipper & champ


Heart on his sleeve…makes us believe in a reprieve heroic Firestarter 

Immensity of intensity.. O Captain my Captain..our smarter martyr

Billionaires hunker down in their Queenstown bunker lairs

Let’s pester Uncle Fester

After dafter Luxon 

Pushed the button

Welcomed every glutton

To the isles of mutton


Theme of the meme

Team New Zealand 

It does seem

No longer a

Stronger eclectic sceptic


Spanked by the rank 

Septic tank stream

Peptic Pyramid scheme


Grand slam.. glam sham scam

Desperate Dan or Tangerine tan plan

God damn..American dream


Our rancour on social media

Danker seedier leaders crimes 

Hanker for every greedier 

Rhymes with banker


Sleazier golden geezer visas 

Accept any offers to

Fill their many coffers


Brokery.. jiggery pokery 

Immunity without impunity 

To the unity of community

Profanity of their vanity


Insanity of their depravity

Clarity...disparity not charity

Tramples ample wokery


Our amazing landscape

Instead becomes their escape

Coined..after all they’ve purloined

Jolly jape…no red tape


Not being rash

But it is a rash

Debunk the gunk & funk

Forsaking the avarice 

Taking the pis*

Bliss abyss monk


Crass..brash..flash git

S***k a chunk of cash

From their balderdash stash

Making..a complete hash of it


Fake elite on the take

As they see fit

Billionaire boys ploys annoys

Replete yet still cheat 

Have your cake and eat it


Our government just envoys

For a small fee..sweet

Deploys the swanky..w**ky

Yankee all about me

Time to flee plea


They lit the fire

Liar & denier

Dug the quagmire


Piety for impropriety

Moolah Messiah ruler

High flyer pariah

Crueler society


Who when the s**t 

Does hit the fan

No fibs..his nibs gets

First dibs on cribs


Outlier masterplan zen..know 

Then where to go


Can always hunker down

In a spick & span den

Their Queenstown bunker


Amen

Premium Member Silent Letters

The tiny giant
was independently reliant.

He was brutely handsome, such a pity
because she was awfully pretty.

The old news came in a deafening whisper.
She read it slowly and brisker.

He was a knight by day.
She left a bitter sweet note with joyful dismay.

Hand written on a typewriter.
Her heart was heavy and so much lighter.

He was riding at a slow speed
when he had a deliberate accident on his steed.

She let out a silent scream
when she saw the invisible scene.

It was on TV.
A live recording for all to see.

He swapped his horse for an ox
from the school of hard knocks.

The beast was dumb and much dafter.
Her knight died and they all lived happily ever after.

This is a true story all fiction to be sure on.
Now all she has is his OXY-MORON.

God Is a He She

What if God isn't a he or a she but a he she
eating quiche in a teepee with a toupee 
in the company of a grumpy hippy
seeking to unleash a fart storm our way

solar gusts of gigantic proportions
across intergalactic star systems
unholy guffing crushing our sun
with radiation to our extinction

anything is possible it's all unknown
take a guess at the probable fart tone
all we ever do is disbelieve and joke
open up minds after cannabis toke

some believe he's a vengeful bastard
out to punish us thereafter 
in a world seeing many disaster
these people couldn't be dafter

so maybe God really is a he she
toupee wearing and living in a teepee
perving on a world of birds and bees
with an irritable bowel about to let free

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”!
