Rego's threescore encore tour


”Rego’s threescore encore tour” 
(one of me oldest/best mates has just turned sexy/sixty and is celebrating in Ronda in Espagna)


Did you hear..“Wow the Rego’s Sexy”

So tasty.. like Iberico jamon

Come on ..don’t be hasty.. cloth ears

Before it goes to his head

His peers said “the Ego’s.. Now Sixty”


As those he holds dear all ponder 

The wonder of those hero years

Having a ball..let’s say cheers


To a Brummie (with a touch of svelte Celt) not a Scallie

Rich voice of Villa on the pitch

Of course Redditch does bewitch

But he gets that wanderlust itch


Marky couldn’t be much fonder 

Of a wee wander..then dilly dally 

Won’t keep tally …go dullally

Rally down a hammy tapas alley


Fawns about those prawns over yonder

With your ladies..shindig grin adorns the big daddy

No whammy…just so bloody jammy..lucky plucky Paddy 


Clearly can still be a really silly billy

But don’t let it fester..won’t pester 

Fiesta to siesta…the jester of Ronda


He denies its lies...this guy’s got a prize wil*y

Sixty years young…still well hung

Between his thighs..behind his flies

He does surmise..the size of an anaconda


Famous for an old bridge over a ruddy ridge

Flocks in the tourist mist..tall tales 

But what a shock..never ever fails

To be now.. somehow beer a clock

My sneaky cheeky buddy..

Lovely locks…you “silver fox”


Anyhow have a corking trip…run amok..

Let rip….aficianado bravado…wind in your sails

Blissed yesteryear gist..bucket list scale

And we’re not talking about the stale 

Fuddy duddy.. austere que*r valley 

That in comparison pales…& hails from Wales (Rhondda)


p.s does tickle me that.. already in a ickle bit of a pickle.. you drain another jar in Spain  …no shame..a thirst you can’t tame…that ha ha…not being fickle..R-onda (red honda) is also my car’s name …

New Sores Become Old Sores and Grow To Mature Into Scars


I saw blue memoirs fell from momma's eyes, as she looked into my brown retinas. Swiftly she removed my medicated glasses, a dominant gene I carved out from papa's bottled eyes. "Oh!  sorry D!," She whispered! "Its just a matter of time new sores become old sores and grow to mature into scars"  she cried as she looked into my eyes. Eventide dawned upon us like golden mist as I was flown into the nurses moonlit; in a bird with twinkling red optical, double paired rubber legs, iron facials. The nurses at stand dished us mother care attention. Ice dangled in her eyes. Momma is smiling joy painfully at me.  As I stole
 a look at her brown embattled face, I pictured her retinas glued to drenches. The ice now fell from her eyes. With my octopus years, my feet has trod this egg shaped earth. 

 And the world seemed to pass so swiftly on me like a shutter's speed. I  could see the skyline walking on the tightropes of my memories, like flashbacks in a cinema film, laying on 
this medic bed. My belly could only be facing down while my electrified toasted back kissed the wind escaping in through the casement.---yak!!!! 

And the only mirror I could have afforded to reflect my per boiled back is my momma's pair of brown camera eyes, but here they are ice dank. I thought. It could be fun and warmly, laying on the pressing iron, left on the bed in our unisex room, after long being used by aunt Lydia. I couldn't tell its degrees with my brownie eyes. But my steamed back did, so it kissed it metal surface---and here we are, "  In a toast of roastful love,' underneath nurses moonlit with 
my mauve skin. 

And the needles! o no! I hated needles. Two prickles a day!, yahhhk! my bum bum like Evans rickety bike. I heard Evans my best pal crying along in the neighborhood, while I was being rushed into the medic bird. With his grey coloured panties, hung on his waist like tarzan.
He did be jerking bitterly. I and Evans jolly good mates had known each other since the neighborhood old. His curly dark hair, and owl eyes tells you he is indian...

A lovely lush


"Drunk as a skunk"

Flimsy after whimsy

Flunk and debunk

Or mastered getting "plastered"

"Tipsy as a gypsy"

Sunk like a monk


Miss nights out "on the p*ss"

We shan't blush...can't hush 

Us as we gush about the rush

Bliss to kiss the alcoHOLE abyss

Have a crush on the plush 

Flush flights of a proper "lush"


Grinned while you sinned

Smile..getting in a right mess

Room spinned ... plans binned

Betting the style's "blotto" lotto

Pinned motto bless the "legless"


Jolly golly gosh "sloshed"

What beats "3 sheets to the wind"

Need a slash..have to crash

After being out on the lash

"Smashed"..bish bash boshed


'Off your trolley" wally or dolly

Bedazzled frazzle on the razzle

Laughter after a dafter shindig swig

On the "sozzle"..off his head ..off to bed

Reason for that big red schnozzle 


Let's be frank those who get "tanked" 

Get thanked...no..blanked & spanked

Don't deride those who decide 

To get plied with or "pie eyed" with pride

Have a tiff with those who chose skew whiff


No need upsetting or fretting

Over a drunkard with a tankard

Rum dumb herbert on the sherbert

Woozy boozy floozy doozy

Getting whistle whetting "wanker*d"


Abuser..winner or loser

The boon of the last saloon

All soon forgetting having hankered

For.. then regretting that final boozer


"Wasted"...sauce basted I stammered

Could've plucked for being "f**cked"

Decoded it besetting with maybe "loaded"

Why's he passed on the class "rat-arsed"

Not fussed..nonplussed he cussed

Sussed just with mates getting 'hammered"


So don’t muzzle the "guzzler"

Cripple the ripple of the "tippler"

Can’t match "down the hatch"

Or sip & sup..because "bottom’s up" 

No frowning cake-hole sold on downing

Beer.. .neck oil by heck will spoil our laughing gear 

Crowning the glory or gory story

Comedy gold told of being "arsehol*d"


Ickle fickle wee "pickled" trickle tickle

Temptation of a nifty sneaky shifty

Iffy & squiffy in a jiffy veneration

Don't be piddly about diddly while tiddly


They might from afar mutter

Wot a nutter...one too many jars

One too many bars ..not caring...I would utter 

Have a flutter...I’m lying in the gutter

Rego & I flying while staring at the stars

Grand Final Clash

There was a day set aside for the wedding
but the groom was very much dreading
it would be the same day
his grand final would play
and that’s where it looked it was heading

Alas his worst fears came true
So what was he s’posed to do?
Change the date
he’d marry his mate
or send a substitute to say “I do”?

Of course, that could be done covertly
The team had done it before with Curtley
but if the bride found out
she’d give him a clout
and the next month he’d spend inertly

So I hope we have the real groom today – 
shame on his mates for staying away
but he stayed away too
when best man for Stew
and the ladies can still throw the bouquet

The bride is also very fond of her sport
loving a good tussle on field and on court
It’s clear and plain
she knows Glen’s pain
and she’s the kind and compassionate sort

This wedding’s been the perfect storm
The bride’s team’s in awesome form
Today’s their final too
So what’s Jane s'posed to do?
Miss it, or follow the wedding norm? 

I’m sorry the groom’s grumpy and pre-occupied
but the final’s on now and he’s not in the side
but Jane empathizes
with his sacrifices
having hired a substitute bride!

My Last Thoughts

I hear the screams of pain,
Falling on deaf ears in vain.
I see children crying over dead parents,
And parents crying over dead children,
While spouses cry over their dead mates,

I try not to panic as they lead me to a camp,
As the fear of future leaves my cheeks damp.
The darkness of the explosion surrounds me,
While I try to shield myself from the painful emotional heat. 
And run away to not turn into a lifeless meat.

It leaves the children traumatized,
And the children terrorized,
As they struggle to live their way out of a mass homicide.

The gods cease to exist,
And leave us with the sadistic devils to resist.

I see my future in the flames,
And my entire life bursting up in their diabolical games.
I hold my friend’s hand,
As I see everything I cherish, crumbling into the sand.

Hope seems to be miles away,
When all I see is the slope of barrel pointing my way.
So I do what I need to do,
I kneel. I bow. And I surrender.
And finally let a tear fall, 
Before my soul leaves my body with a guns thunder.

Premium Member Body Shock

Sue just couldn’t keep her hands off the buffet food
She’d elbow her way into the queue – it was very rude!

Finger foods were her favourite, she’d stuff them into her face
Sue’s body wobbled like a jelly and she looked a complete disgrace

Her legs they were like tree trunks and she had trouble with her knees
The scales groaned when she stood on them - the numbers didn’t please!

Her hubby put his foot in it when asked ‘do I look good in this tight dress’
He said you look like a baby hippo, and if I’m really honest you look a mess!

Shocked at his honest answer Sue agreed that she had let herself go
She would go to Weight Watchers and try and put an end to this woe

Her excuse was her slow metabolism, which made her put on weight
But in her head she knew the truth - it was the piles of food upon her plate
 
Now placed on a controlled diet she couldn’t eat steak and kidney pies
Only healthy food now touched her tongue, weight soon fell off her thighs

Sue also joined an exercise class and made some lovely mates
They would discuss the calories on their smaller dinner plates

The food Sue missed the most was a huge mound of fish and chips
But the diet and exercise worked – Sue re-discovered her long lost hips!

Sue punched her fists in the air when she reached her target weight
She regained all her self-confidence and now she’s looking great!

Two Become One,

Two become one

Blue and yellow combine to make the lovely colour green
It's neither blue nor yellow it's something distinctively in between

Can you say that green is not good because it's not blue?
Or, because it's not yellow it's really good for nothing too?

No, green is also beautiful it has it's rightful place too
being a wonderful blend between yellow and blue

When two become one, something new and distinct is created
One should not feel weak and useless or completely dominated

Two equal portions mixed together creates something new
as man and women blend together a marriage is created too

Like two colours blending together produces a new colour too
Two marriage mates when joined together become one not two

It's not like they lose themselves and their own unique personality
Each one contributes something special forming an original identity

Just like colours stay the same but change in the act of blending
Souls unite but something changes when it's qualities they're lending

One shares with the other their feelings and experiences in life too
Their lives they synchronize together with harmony they are infused

There is a mutual giving and receiving with a symbiotic benefit too 
A sympathetic relationship, a symmetrical orchestration of just two

To some , the idea of two becoming one, is miraculous it may seem
By not relinquishing their autonomy they will not realize their dreams

Compromise and loving consideration for the other person is the key
To open the door to a new oneness of spirit, that of marital harmony

Winter Memories

Winter memories that are still so vivid and bright
Those endless days playing with your mates
Snow falling when it should do, kids shouting and screaming
"It's snowing" running out, mum's shouting "Get some warm clothes on"
Scarves, balaclavas and gloves, only your face showing
Sledging in the snow, home made by dad, the lucky ones with bought ones
And the snow was proper snow, snow that came and stayed
Snow so deep you could only see your mate's head's above it.
Snow that made you want to play, sliding down hills falling on your backsides
Soaking your clothes getting your body chilled but still totally thrilled
Digging the snow off your path with dad making snowmen, huge snowmen
Who had carrot noses and coal for eyes and mouths with an old scarf around his neck to keep him warm
No cars on the road the whole street your playground
Having snow ball fights, taking sides and ganging up, wanting to be part of the best gang
Lying in the snow rolling down hills laughing and shivering  
Then the darkness comes, off home to mum, she's fussing taking your wet clothes off droping them on the floor
Towels and pyjamas hung by the roaring fire, being wrapped in the warm towel mum furiously rubbing "you'll catch your death" she's saying
Pyjamas on, drinking warm milk sat on the carpet in front of the fire
Watching TV,  the Flintstones, Beverly Hillbilly's maybe Huckleberry Hound and Yogi Bear.
Then it's bedtime, going up the stairs slowly not wanting to go, mum shouting after you "I'll be up in a minute" 
Kneeling at the side of the bed, saying your prayers, Our Father who art in heaven..... 
"Look after my mum and dad and my sister" then silently to yourself "Please God let the snow still be here tomorrow"

Happy New Year

Any plans for the coming year?
Being a lonely child at heart
Can take me back from the start
Dear Lord, let me make things clear.
Enough is enough. No more sorrows
Fear, fights, foes. They are so shallow

Grant me one wish. That’s all I need
Happy New Year by the way.
I wish for brighter days
Joy, Love, my career, bliss. Indeed
Kindness is all I wish for 
Luck, logic, laughter and much more… 

Mastering my memories is a gift
Not presents, sweets or something I can buy
Ok, you really want to know why?
Presents last quickly. Memories do not
Qualitative research is more like it
Regarding how to spend time with your mates

Some blokes simply scream for useless stuff
Therefore, their wish would not be granted,
Ugly witches would have their thoughts haunted,
Vicious masterminds would always bluff
When they call their own bluff on Christmas.
Should xylophones be played during Mass?
Yes or no? Seems to be a good question.
Zoning out now. I’m going to sleep

ANZAC poem 2

..they were sent by those
who sat upon pedestals so high
whose life was sheltered and dry 
and saw the new days bright shining light

and they were  the ones...
who kept their hands fresh and clean
by sending others to do their evil bidding
in a another's land, a land far from home

no...they were not the ones 
who saw a sea ebb and flow...red
and watched as the tide washed up broken bodies 
climbed the cliffs as hell rained down from above
who watched as the blood poured 
from the lifeless bodies of their mates

no...they were not the ones 
who waited for the dreaded whistle blow
the sound that could signal the end of your days
and trotted through the blood soaked mud
thinking your next step could be your last

no...they were not the ones 
who saw summer be replace by winterr 
lived in the muddy trenches of hell
wearing the wet and cold as a second skin
smelling death and fending off cat sized rats
saw the mundane days became a war within a war

no...they weren't the one's...
 
and...they were not the ones...
who woke screaming at night 
drenched in sweat
reliving their journeys through hell
had the vacant stare
with a tremor tortured body

a young life taken by a hidden plague

no...they did not...
forged a new culture for a nation
be written into folklore
and be called
                courageous 
                              valiant
                                        heroes
