Premium Member The Attack of the Translucent Blue Balls

What are these translucent blue balls doing in my dungeon-lobby?
I shall chase them away with my fire-spouting stick!
I'll even use my hand to summon fire,
Though it gives me migraines to do so,
But there are just too many translucent blue balls!
Much more than last week.
Ohh! The migraine...it begins. Which means my flowing
Brown hair will dampen from perspiration which means
I must shampoo it AGAIN (the second time today).

I wish my roommate Ronald would stop staring at me 
From the back of our dungeon-lobby.
What does he think this is, a show at the Mirage in Vegas?
These are LETHAL translucent blue balls!!!
I am saving Ronald's life as well as mine.
I just wish he'd just shut-up about hoping to see some white tigers--
It's not funny! My head is KILLING me!

Oh, great. Here comes the rest of the dungeon-apartment-complex:
Harry, Darryl, Phillip, and Samantha. I should really be charging them for this.
Don't they realize one translucent blue ball in the face will turn their brains into
macaroni and cheese?!?! I mean for Heaven's Sakes, we all chipped in to buy
Our own fire-spouting sticks! Harry lost his in the lake, Darryl left his at his 
Parent's house on Christmas vacation, Phillip traded his for an IPad,
And Samantha is "fervently against" the usage of fire-spouting sticks
Since it's "horrendous for the environment" but got one anyway
so we could get the 5-stick package deal of 20% off--she can be a real
Sweet heart in that sense.

But honestly, bad for the environment?? You know what else is bad for the environment? 
TRANSLUCENT BLUE BALLS!!!

I need a nap after this.
And shampoo.


Claps and back slaps to the Black Caps chaps



Delighting our Black Caps chaps

Uniting fans fighting nite nite naps 

Gaslighting Indian foes mishaps 

Rewriting those cricketing maps 


As the Black caps hit their straps

Darryl the toast the host soul saps

Gunbarrel straight out of the traps

They unravel yet another six slaps


Our great festive carol never flaps

A late Christmas pressie unwraps

Flicks & tricks spate picks the gaps

Indian spinners fate sinners lapse


Black caps chaps claps & back slaps 

Kiwi yippee we see diddy GP scraps

Even that fat cat Virat finally snaps

Zen of Darryl and Glen victory laps


After white-wash a chance perhaps?

Hitch both Ajaz & Mitch under wraps  

No Will or Matt but still Indians zaps 


The plush crushed can’t turn off taps

Out gunned out spun another collapse

Lush waves rush flush with Black caps

Premium Member Darryl

A better gentleman there never was
Kind loving and generous man
Bon vivant and lavish tipper
Articulate, meticulous and dressed to the nines
Phoned his mother every Sunday religiously 
Never a bad thing to say about anyone

It was a Friday after work
Celebrating the end of the week
More exuberant than usual
Spring was in the air
The days were getting longer
And the breeze warmer

He loved life till the very last minute
When it wasn’t baseball
It was Texas Hold’em
Then that fateful Friday afternoon he said
‘Tell my family I love them’
Just like that

We buried him on St.Patrick’s Day
It was a beautiful sunny afternoon
I’ll never forget that one final glance
That one lone sentinel by his grave
Standing guard
Up on that hill against the setting sun
A fitting tribute honouring
A man who had lived and loved
Every blessed day of his life

Kiwis love an Indian takeaway



It had been foolhardy maybe as it did finish a tad tardy..

To watch the latest greatest nighttime cricketing mystery 

Seriously sublime Darryl Mitchell in his delirious prime..

The bells chime the Kiwi men again with zen made history


Strolling even with New Zealand’s second string attack bowling.. 

Kohli & Co hellbent T20 slaves sent to their graves by the knaves.. 

By the underdog faves and endless waves of Black Caps rolling..


So you could say after this hooray foray that the Indian takeaway 

The hosts death wish now the swish go to dish for a Black Cap fan…

Crow for the 2nd year in a row them dicey and us just too spicy!


Quips about bananas nadir and to South D an ironic cheer or sneer

After dafter no rigour or vigour self fulfilling prophecy of Baz Bull…

Hard not to sni*ger egos not heroes falter at bigger the lie high altar…

The reason the unjust willy nilly silly treason of Baz Bull lust in season 

Elephant in the room must be the trigger for Ashes to Ashes..Dust to Dust…


Dank England tanks..stank were rank thanks to Kiwi yippee phalanx nirvanas

Fillips of Indian trips hall of fame names in a jumble stumble thrown in skips

We mumble Kiwis humble not one for boasts but everyone toasts the hosts 

Getting spanked as the pressure cranked were outflanked by Mitchell & Phillips..

STILL TURNING HEADS

songer.co/song/rbydqk4der6jizslma0xvgcl

[Intro]
He thinks he’s a king, rollin’ loud and proud,
Don’t hear the whispers, just craves the crowd.

[Verse 1]
I rattle when I roll—call it my battle cry,
Got a hood full of thunder, howlin’ at the sky.
Paint’s peeled off, sun’s tanned my skin,
But I still glow like a firefly trapped in tin.
They turn their heads when I let loose my sound—
My smoke screams, I own this ground.

[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m slick, just look how I gleam,
Every scratch on me’s got a story and some steam.
Them fellas glare hard, tryin’ not to be caught—
Wishin’ they had half the wild I’ve brought.
(“I see you, Darryl, don’t act like you ain’t lookin’.”)
And the ladies? Ha! They blush like they mean—
Mmm-hmm... I’m still turnin’ heads, know what I mean?

[Verse 2]
Those seat springs pokin’, feel like a hug,
Wipers stuck on, like they’re cuttin’ a rug.
A/C’s dead, but the sauna’s a blast,
Who needs cool when you’re built to last?
Got the radio blarin’, my favorite tune,
Life’s a party, under the silver moon.
Every corner I hit makes the heart race fast,
In this thrill machine, I’m never outclassed.

[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m slick, just look how I gleam,
Every scratch on me’s got a story and some steam.
Them fellas glare hard, tryin’ not to be caught—
Wishin’ they had half the wild I’ve brought.
(“I see you, Darryl, don’t act like you ain’t lookin’.”)
And the ladies? Ha! They blush like they mean—
Mmm-hmm... I’m still turnin’ heads, know what I mean?

[Bridge]
Drive into the sunset, nothing’s outta reach,
Paint me a picture that no one can teach.
With wheels on fire, and a heart full of dreams,
Living for the now, ripping at the seams.

[Verse 3]
So crank it up high, let that energy flow,
I’m a comet runnin’, with a hell of a show.
Sparks fly by, hear the engine roar,
This ride ain’t a journey, it’s an open door.
With every mile traveled, my spirit’s set free,
You can spot me easily, living wild and carefree.

[Outro]
So here’s to the wild, and here’s to the fun,
With the top rolled back, yeah, I’m never done.
Still turning heads, through thick and thin,
In this life I’m leading, I’m ready to win!

My Last Hug, My Last Kiss: Tribute To Darryl Baskins

I saw him on that last Sunday
I gave him a hug and a kiss
I told him he works to hard
and on Sunday's of him I did miss

he told me today was his birthday
I told him that was wrong
for not giving the church congregation
a chance to sing him a birthday song

as we're standing near the pulpit
I turned to the remaining crowd
I said, "today is Darryl's birthday "
in a voice clear and loud
so we gathered together
and we all started to sing
the birthday song to let Darryl know
to us what he means
we said we love you and
we wish you all the best
as a fellow child of God
we know that you are blessed

I was unaware that that would be the very last time
that I would see my dear friend Darryl Baskins alive
but I'm glad I got that chance to give him 
my last hug and my last kiss
because he was my dear friend
and of him I will truly miss

It was on a Sunday you chose to leave
And I was very sad to see you go 
You had other family you needed to see
But I shall really miss you so

There was Mom and Dad and Brother Darryl
And of course sisters Donna, Shirley and Kay
Cousins Larry, Henry, Danny, and Kurt 
That you will also see along the way

All the people you have left behind
Understand why you had to leave
We will always love you 
This you really must believe

I know you are in a wonderful place
And my missing you shall never cease
There are others that share this feeling too 
So dear brother please, please, 
            Rest in peace

Premium Member Kids Have Ears the Size of An Elephant and a Mouth To Match

I read Darryl Ashton’s poem Called Pinocchio Rex and this brought back 
memories of a childhood incident

When I grew up we had a smallholding – the house was called ‘Longacre’ as we 
had over an acre of land.  Over the years we had chickens, pigs named Pinky 
and Porky and a goat called Susie… she had kids called Billy and Nanny – guess 
I was no good at names back then… but I digress
Attached to the house was a small village shop but my parents also made a 
small income from selling fresh eggs and in the summer home grown 
strawberries – I would help pick washing baskets of them and bag them up to 
sell.
Every week a little old man would arrive for his dozen eggs and if the shop was 
shut he would ring the doorbell. He wore a pointed felt hat, had steely blue 
eyes and the most enormous nose you have ever seen. Unbeknownst to him 
my parents nicknamed him 'Pinocchio'.
When I was aged about 7 years old the doorbell rang – mum was busy baking 
in the kitchen so I answered it. There in front of me stood this old man wanting 
his eggs. Mum shouted from the kitchen
‘Who is it Janet?’ 
I replied ‘Oh its only Pinocchio’ 
At once mum appeared from the kitchen, her face was the colour of beetroot. 
She apologised for the comment from her ‘cheeky daughter’ The man 
purchased his eggs and walked away – never to return!
The moral of this true tale is that parents ALWAYS tell the truth and that 
children have ears the size of an elephant and a mouth just as big … so if you 
don’t want them to repeat something YOU have said keep it zipped!

Tributes finally percolate through long white clouds


All about fall of Bazball and Stokes’s not Foulkes fate 

Well what about back slaps for Black Caps chaps mate

Pundits rude culprits pulpits spewed twee oh so Kiwi trait

Mighty minnows again punching well above their weight

Really a campaign even without Kane their all time great

And the penury of an injury spate they were still first rate


Doff our hats to Matt’s vat of stats could hang in the Tate

Darryl no right knight apparel didn’t unravel to bouncer bait

Simply from harder Kiwi larder did Archer Armada frustrate 


Nicholls with the don gone did come on and compensate

And the willow wizard Williamson he did commemorate

Way Tom & Conway with aplomb did play did elaborate  

Riff of Smith & Glenn dashing or Rachin flashing celebrate

Blundell loving gloving getting a bundle myths liberate


Cruel flak that Zak got for being middle pace cack did irritate

Not in the top pack but joined the attack and did penetrate 

Had a crack and got a stack so ace can each hack flagellate


Old school grace beat cool fool as Bazball rule did annihilate

Two of New Zealand’s famous ex pat sons they did eviscerate

Shroud in praise in proud land of long white cloud tributes percolate..
