Mr Wiz, Munchkin Land
Be so kind to lend a hand...

Cartwheeling cottage? how daft is that
Landed quite safely, all level and flat
Some midget fellow said, who else heard that
I think ‘Wicked Westie’ might just have gone...

Sense
"It would be so nice if something made sense for a change",
Alice shouted for all to hear!
She hoped her words echoed in every land

telling all...

The gardener said once I’ve chopped down this tree
Perhaps I could tidy your bush for a fee 
Where the girl hit him is covered in bandage
He’s stood in the dock charged with suggestive language

Premium Member Good Eggs
I feel like I’m blessed in this life by good eggs
But, of course, on occasion one’s rotten,
A good egg compares to a wine that has legs
The rare bad one is quickly forgotten.

A good egg just...

Top of the Tree
There’s a charming woodland creature
reputed to be wise
With a knack for spotting problems
with their eager, clever eyes

Keen and daring to be different
Turning heads through all degrees
They love imparting knowledge
showing off their expertise

And in amongst their...

My Time, His Place
With what seems like lightening speed, time flies by,
The world as you knew it is gone, in a flash, in a sigh.

And all you really catch are glimpses of life here and there,
Sometimes the picture...

The F-Bomb has been replaced

As the naughtiest word in the english language

By this new extremely naughty four letter word

Premium Member Old Tom
Old Tom was wrinkled
His face full of care
A military blazer 
He'd always wear

Tom was a fighter
He'd boxed in the ring
He had gone to war
He'd fought for his King

His medals with pride 
He always wore
In the...

As the only large cat with a voice I roar from within my solitude
 Prowling with swagga and a side of attitude
 My voice is wild game's command
 Order in the kingdom is my superior...

It's your right to choose.
It's no love to lose.
Funny how life does go.
So, just say it's so.

go on, embrace her -

Fiddy Cents

Raise up the oars,
get ready to row
Fiddy cents to a dollar,
start rocking the boat

Lay down the law,
be on the swivel scold
Fiddy cents to a dollar,
ropes are tightening throats

Don’t kill the messenger
bringing the bad news
Fiddy cents...

Authority
Authority
Authority is a privilege
It is power mixed with rule
It’s control and domination
Oftentimes misused as tool
And when orders are not followed
When instruction is ignored
Then the charge will be defiance
Which will soon be underscored
For authority wants order

Tarturus's Rapture

sky's vast, expansive blue richoting and rivaling ocean views
loose limbs and bashful expression lay scattered across the placid sky
divinity fixed in a space unaffected by man
white clouds swirl, wrapping like ivy around...
