Long Garry Poems

It was a glorious summer day and I woke up with the lark
Got my wheelchair ready and then headed to the park
I noticed a girl out jogging, with her dog down by the lake
And felt...

There was man named Garrison,
and he lived the good life,
flush with that big trust-fund money,
he hungered for the night,
for booze and bodies tight,
the finest clubs were his domain,
his bar tabs were truly insane,
his one-night stands...

Ever since my parents bought me a Grundig TV for my room,   
And every week day unquestioned and without fail, 
I've watched the Channel 4 News avidly, glued to it,
From when I was...

Fabulous Fifties

is what they called it,

we just called it a good time.

It was a great time in history

to be a teenager, to have our

youth, it was a time for some

to rebel, others to grow up.

I had dreams of yesterday
I woke up with a smile
My dreams took me back 
And it was better for a while.

Jeff was calling Lassie
We had moonbeams in a jar
Perry Como was teaching us
To catch a...

Come out and watch two baby dinosaurs having a match...
will they hurt each other or enjoy this experience as they stutter?
How long will it take for them until they become groggy and itch?
All kids love...

Parody of
Happy Together.
By the: Turtles
Song writers: Alan Gordon/Garry Bonner

Within your heart, there used to be,
a flame of love that burned so bright,
that all could see.
Reflections of the love you held,
and gave to me.

A fire in...

Take a bunch of fine musicians
All ready to play and entertain
With a gig miles away
And you have folk train.
Add a bunch of supporters
A pint or two of ale
And you have all the makings
Of a very...

Since you left us,
Each morning I awake precisely
At dawn.
Snatched from my troubled attempts at sleep,
I'm suddenly, acutely lucid and aware.

This in itself is odd, given,
Dawn and I rarely greet each other,
Unless I’ve not slept at...

The Kansas Tumbleweed

Dedicated to my dear friend Garry Pfauth 

The canvas of his mind carries;
Like the wild prairie winds.
Painting brushstrokes of memories;
Like ancient unknown friends.

Colors of his spirit;
Carries him back to home.
Art or visions created;
From...

Red Roses

Love's beauty dwells in a long stemmed red Rose 
Amidst other buds not yet in full bloom.
I admire them most when in sweet repose
As twilight intercedes and shadows loom.

Grief mingled with fragrance perfumes night...

Pretty Woman

Oh, pretty woman
You have caught my eye
On a business trip
And need a tour guide
With beauty and wit

Week rendezvous
Evening delight
Dining, fine wine, 
Falling in love

We're from two
Different
Worlds dear, but

Say you'll
Stay with 

Me

Champions of England, who'd have guessed,
That of all the big teams we'd've played the best?
Not Chelsea or Arsenal or Manchester Teams,
Just little old Leicester with faith, hope and dreams.
Though barely known and under-rated,
This team was...

I STARTED A JOKE
(But no one is laughing)

Don’t rile me
I’m different you see
For my name is Garry Lee
Full of haughty hypocrisy.
Tried not to change
When I lost my virginity
But my genes so tight
Did but scream out...

Maybe I should have
bought Fort Garry Personnel
for a dollar instead of letting it
die. But I thought of next month's
office rent. 

I remember having a desk to
sit behind with a phone
to make appointments,
life sized, watching the

June 25, 1876 A battle took place
on that fatal day, many brave men
fell to their deaths.

A song played that day,
so they tell us, a song
called Garry Owen,
it was the General's
favorite they say.

Custer wanted to
go out...
