Six of Three and a Couple Extra For Me

Richard clerihewed me yesterday
Why the nerve, I should have got him first I say
Then I laugh still wondering if clerihewed is a word
Realizing that many conventions in our language are up surd   

The Clown of Clerihews, what a moniker Moe would say
I could probably write a lot of these everyday
The ballade though, not a form for a dummy
If I can convince ForDummies publishing, surely I'll make money

I'm butchering the king's English Curly would say
As a child I'd watch three stooges reruns everyday
Yes at that time Curly was my favorite of the three
A poem with nyuk, nyuk nyuk, is a sight to see

I'm not sure what Larry would add
Being the only of the original four from a different dad
A musician yes, a great violinist they say
Healy said he pay him $90 a week and extra $10 to throw that fiddle away

What about Shemp can't forget the other brother
Yes Shemp, Moe, and Curly had the same mother
In the latter years I've grown to like him as well
He was actually one of the original two, or so they tell

Joe Besser, hah, definitely the lame duck
Being Jewish, I'm sure the other three would call him a smuck
Some of his appearances I have to tolerate
I'm a fan of the other two with him, so I can't hate

One more for Stinky Davis, as he was called on Albert and Costello
A role he played, definitely not the role of a hero
They all said he wouldn't take a pie in the face
Did he not know the other 40 years of stooges history, what a disgrace

I purposely left Joe DeRita or Curly Joe
He had two stints with The Stooges I know
Was the one short film Snow White and
I have him below Joe Besser, that can't be grand

I guess ThePhilosopher, now lower shouldn't judge
In the 50's he didn't even live a nudge
I was born quiet a while later
Ok I admit it, of Joe I'm a hater




Even having fun in my hate of Joe Besser lol. He had a very extensive acting career, and there was a reason he was allowed to be there without taking pies in the face. He was actually acting out his own character that he developed over his comedy career, so that's kind of impressive. After posting had to add in Joe DeRita, or Curly Joe, lest you thought I forgot his important roles lol

Jack Rutter

Jack was born in 1981, but at the age of 18,
Was punched in his face so he was out clean, 
He fell backwards to hit his skull on the kerb, 
Which haemorrhaged his brain to fully curb,   
His future as a Birmingham City footballer. 

He’d been with the Blues since he was ten, 
So after intensive care and recuperation’s den, 
He flitted from local club to local club insane, 
‘Cos it was so hard with his imbalance skein,  
Neither could he twist nor head confidently.  

Two years later, in 2011, after that fierce attack,
And after extensive rehabilitation - not to lack, 
Because Jack was left with mild Cerebral Palsy, 
The charity Headway pointed him to sport by CP, 
So he joined the England 7-a-side footballers. 

He’s captain of the team with his experience, 
‘Cos many of the others were born, deliverance, 
With CP, and so they don’t have leadership skills, 
Or the training you get from the big clubs’ bills:
Jack is proud to encourage the squad on or off. 

He is a mentor on Dame Kelly Holmes Trust, focus,  
On the Get On Track program he does direct, locus, 
And he’s behind other young people’s programs, 
Like AQA Unlocking Potential to give people grams, 
To enrol in college or Uni, or to train or to find work. 

Jack’s attacker got a sentence of twelve months, 
In a young offenders institution to wear the cloths, 
But he only served six of them, such a light penalty, 
For a sudden life-change, a twist to redirect destiny, 
And Jack’s never set eyes on him again, no wish to. 

He’s going to Rio to play firstly against the Japanese, 
Where he’ll bask in the sun, so different from freeze, 
He came 9th at the Intercontinentals 2013, the way up,
5th at the Euro Championships 2014, success to sup,
Then 5th at the Worlds in 2015, an even better victory.

If ever there was a day 
when the song of men 
and  Elves 
were to disappear 

From the face of Middle Earth 
and the hearts and minds of 
Elves Dwarves and men 
it was at this time of sorrow 

They were once 
nine Kings who 
were great and mighty 
But then from the 

Black shadows rose 
Sauron and the power of the Ring 
they wouldn't be able 
to resist 

So one by one 
they were drawn to its power 
and one by one 
they fell 

And now they ride 
ceaselessly 
searching for the 
most Precious the Ring of Power 

The one that their dark 
Master wants it 
just to possess it 
to conquer and to smite with it.

Premium Member Like Joseph

When Joseph awoke
He did as the angel of the Lord had commanded him… 
Matthew 1:24


Joseph is a silent hero of the gospels
In Matthew
We had our most extensive encounter with him
Learned that he struggled with the news that his bethroted “was found with child” (verse 18)

How many concerns must have gone through his mind?
Worries about what the community would think?
Perhaps anger?
Certainly confusion

Yet in his dream the truth is revealed to him
He obeyed and “took his wife to his home (verse 24)
This act of obedience suggests a humility in the man that we who are fathers are called to imitate
Like Joseph

We can worry about many things
Like Joseph
We can worry about our fears when things seem out of control
Trust in the Lord

Instead of anger
Respond with love
Instead of name
Respond with mercy

Jesus
Please help all who are fathers respond to their challenges
With the faith
And love of St. Joseph

I am not


I do not hear until I say

I am not a part unless I make it so

There is no need of me ...

No requirement for my assistance

No need of my (extensive) skills


No desire of my creative acumen or product

Or my (now seemingly) useless experience 'sous les draps'

The iPhone rattles not, without initial prompt

No joyous "ping!" without a prior "send"

No rhythmic knuckling applied to my door, short a package, (from me)


No smiling facade without fur around it

No warm company beside me, sans fuzzy tail or purr

And should I pass, it would be days, (literally)

Before the funk brought response

But at least I'd be home


And unconcerned.

Premium Member The Original Mister Shy Guy


Used to be a shy and retiring type
Back then but this is now
Like a Super Hero I burst upon the scene
To share my extensive knowhow

People have never been able to stump me
I'm a master at solving stuff
Like Einstein's theory of relativity equation
That's easy, that really ain't tough

If I seriously decide to turn on the charm
Ladies will have a real hard time
Trying to resist, they'll be driven to infidelity
Not a problem, that's just fine

Before becoming this irresistible charmer
I was timid, retiring, and shy
If you can believe that wee tidbit my friends
Got some swampland you'd might like to buy

What's that you say, you think I'm joking
Can't imagine me retiring and shy
Just ask my Mom when you meet her in Heaven
I was the original Mr. Shy Guy

Used to be a shy and retiring type
Back then but this is now
Like a Super Hero I burst on the scene
To share my extensive knowhow

The Two Unlike-Pole Analogy

THE TWO UNLIKE-POLE ANALOGY 

Analogically, this simplicity of poles might communicates 
extensive comparison of things life usually complicate. 
Just as the tale of "magno magnets", 
Like-poles repulsively repels even off a border 
and unlike-poles abnormally attract one another. 
The north pole of two magnets are set asunder;
Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other, 
but the like-poles are overly at loggerheads,
Similitude to electric charges which postulate same rules:
Like-charges repel, and unlike-charges attract.
This theory sums up the summary of a proven fact. 
The irony of life is, two different souls are match-made, 
We're bedazzled with such common rarity that doesn't fade.
It's sporadic to have two people with same traits
or cosmic (birthday) twins becoming soul mates. 
By taking a leaf out of the analogy of unlike-poles, 
attraction is established and so is unlike souls.

Premium Member Facing Life's Crises

Have we embarked a Ship of Fools
By forsaking the Golden Rule?
And, have we formed a neutral state
Sitting astride the Fence of Fate?

Our devalued civility,
Desensitized humanity,
Deprecated charity,
By deranged personalities.

Appeasing now a mindless guise -
Alternative truth's specious lies.
Extensive harms so plain to see -
Is our will blind to what should be?

Then, lists of things we should not read,
For thought control this is the seed.
For education "they'll" discern
Selected verses we should learn.

We could look back one day to see
Freedoms we've held implicitly
Have been erased from history
As if they never came to be.

Have we forsaken courage too
By things we say but will not do?
Turning to look the other way,
Failing to leap into the fray.

Are we then reeds blown by the gale,
Drowned in what life's demands entail?
Or, are we oaks that tout our might
But break in storms demanding blight?

Prevaricate, capitulate,
Tossed by the seas that seal our fate?
Then, we are fools and cowards too
Who cling to life in vain - Mon Dieu.

                -------------

Shackles of the body without cause - barbarity;
Shackles of the mind without concern - hypocrisy;
Shackles of the spirit without chastisement - blasphemy:

Such shackles thus unrestrained - inveterate inhumanity
