Long Loos Poems

Each year in August the teams descend, cricket foe morphing quickly to friend,
Bonds are forged on a pitch unique, camped on the banks of Reedybrook creek. 
The grass is cut, the fields set out, the...

‘We are in this together dear folks for a pound or a penny’

Speaking of which the loos were situated right behind the bar

To ensure that urinal relief...

I bought Trumps book of poems, yes it's true
And I really think you should get one too
Because you just don't know
When tissue stocks get low
So, keep a copy of it in your loo...

Slaughter amongst the slag heaps
Bodies bowed over barb wire
Screeching, screaming
artillery arching above
soon to descend
amputating limbs
shattering skulls
blood and brains
splattering stains on
comrades too close
mixing with the mud

Grappling with grenades
Supplies short
London, Lancashire
and Lancaster lads
battling like beasts within
that Hohenzollern...

Reminiscing and full of nostalgia 
looking back over the years
A life full of joy and laughter 
though some occasional tears
But no real regrets 
Oh, maybe just one 
For at this time of year
to my mind...

There was an old lady named Lindy Loos
Her skin was a canvas adorned with tattoos
Her back and her front were a fine work of art
But one final message she had to impart
For now she was...

Looked up at the sky 
Yelling asking why 
Took a bullet to the head 
Screamed good damn...

Parade

At midnight dawn my mind escapes parting the stars
Making my way to a summerland torchlight parade
Where grand marshals of zebra fish 
Lead the festival from fiery snow drifts of spun clouds
Making way...

Many a warrior came charging up the hill
Drawing their swords and spears, driven by their own will
The shadows over hill shall grievingly foretell 
The glorious event of battle, the sound, the smell
A tale of valor...

Dummying Up
              by Odin Roark

Once mannequins rocked.
Utilitarian heroes propped up
Behind steering wheels,
Windows,
Doors,
Even beside display animals.
Such were the iron-hearted
Of atomic testing ground history.

Today,...

I remember last sighs,
breath of finally done,
as smiling then he dies,
just more of Grampie's fun.

I saw his side serious,
once or twice without a smile,
he must have been delirious,
malarial warring while.

He spoke of Burma once or...

Single sexy stuttering simple sue,
Loved lean laughing lisping Lou,
She spoke softly slow sentences,
Lou lisped loud without pretences!

Often were out on romantic dates,
By heart and mind such good mates,
Joked and laughed their whole time,
Spoke in stutters...

The lockdown is over, all finished and so the
unfinished jobs should be done,
indoors painting ceilings, outdoors borders weeding,
and everything under the sun.
A toilet not flushing, a pipe outside gushing,
all fixed and now working just fine,

Disco dreams and disco balls 
Big city,bright lights 
Pub crawls and bar fights. 
Mini frocks and hair dyes 
Made up faces 
Mascara filled eyes. 
Vodka martinis and champagne 
Bus trips and black cabs 
Standing in...

You leave the car at what was once, 
in old reality, a farm and where the

but parking motorists feel alarm.

Across a road are loos, ex milking parlours

We’ve done our weekly shopping

Fake hearts,
Beware what you dream,
In this world,
Full of schemes,
It's hard to redeem,

Horror filled screams,
At nightmare scenes,
Painted with a maniac's brush,
Too late to wipe the slate clean.

Downward spirals,
Tail spinning to doom.
Camera angles,
Picture perfect,
To give your face,
That...

All those dirty horrible germs
She would do her best to try and hold on
Until her home….she did return!

When she resided in Singapore

For they needed much to do...
There was Jasmine, Amerish, Harry, Noah
And couple of others too.

So I opened...
