We built huts amongst the ti-tree and fired the odd slug gun.
We went through school together and we hung out up the street;
played footy and...

Right now, I'm sitting here writing this rhyme,
As I do it, millions of people are abused by time,
God knows I would help them if I truely could,
There are many people I'm sure who also would.

Not Conservative or Liberal
By Franklin Price
1/31/2016

Not Conservative or Liberal by definition cannot be.
The former wants tradition and the latter change to see.
The world is not the way it was, this country's not the same
As even...

It might stress me a little, but not much, to speak of these;
But not bother me near as badly as a nest of stinging bees.
But I hasten to say that the need to share them...

Variety is indeed
the spice of life,
and when I think of
my immediate and
extended family
of this I don't have
to think twice,
with my three other 
siblings and all
of their clan at our
nephews beautiful
outdoor Aug. 27th
Maryland wedding,
my younger sis...

dadgum doctors, heads up their butts
poking, prodding, pricking skin
neurologist a psychopath
gets pleasure as electric volts pass through my body

family doctor showed little concern
made me paranoid about irregular heartbeat
EKG failed to determine cause
left me more in...

BUT TEARS ONLY FOR MY GRAND MA

I was born the day and date I cannot remember like many;

I was leisurely growing watching my little sisters
scratching heads, wiping tears of poverty!
Coconut oil was scarce; brother’s knickers...

I was 11:00 at night,
and before turning off
the living room light,
the elderly couple 
said, "are you ready
for the grand prize?"
They both shook
their heads yes,
gave each other
a little kiss,
were amused and
had a gleam in their eyes,

When your boss calls you aside and asks
why you are smiling all the time
on the salary he gives you,

he suspects you of raiding the till.

When for three or more times
your girlfriend cannot keep a...

Seems like we've all become
A nation of ruddy pill poppers
A pill for this, a pill for that
Even sex, now that's the topper

How did it finally come to this?
The doctors are making a killing
Prescribing a pill...

Once was drinking Gelusil
A liquid that aids digestion, effervescent in acidity
Suddenly some amount spilt on the floor unnoticed
A colony of black ants scurried up to lap the pink river
All of them drank it full fledged...

Accident in one race,
Retarded her progress,
Relaxed, lazy,
Took it easy,

A good runner,
Always a winner,
Young miss Sharon,
Aspiring to run marathon,

Determined to run,
And run to win,
Had to become slim,
Joined a gym,

Aerobic work up,
Dips and pull up,
Lost much weight,
Became...
