AIRPORT

They're selling off our Airport, does anybody care? 
The old Gazette's done nothing yet, no 'Save it' campaign there 
The Echo there in Darlo seems quite reluctant to 
Investigate the Peel Magnate and what they're pushing through 

We contacted the BBC to find out what they thought 
They built a reputation on injustices they've fought 
But Inside Out's done less than nowt, it all seems too much hassle 
Imagine the furore if it happened at Newcastle 

It seems our dithering councillors sold off the legacy 
Of half a million users, all done on the Q.T. 
Our MPs tell us nothing, and, quieter than a mouse 
Is the sinister young Minister of the Northern Poorhouse 

Freedom of Information's not easy to obtain
Rumours of secret deals done, we hear now and again
But calls fall on deaf ears, to them it's all a game 
Elected representatives should hang their heads in shame  

It looks like asset-stripping, part of the business creed 
As Peel dole out their reasons to mask their business need 
And those we chose to serve us must surely think we're blind 
I wonder who's being treated well, in my suspicious mind. CHING CHING.

We had a bustling airport, to us a little gem, 
But giving up our heritage means simply nowt to them, 
They're gonna build the factory sites and houses everywhere 
They're killing off our airport and no one seems to care. 
They're killing off our airport and no one seems to care.

Chelsea Fc Takes Abramovich's Fall

Chelsea FC Takes Abramovich's Fall


Europe is responsible for the war, 
not CFC...who is taking the fall.

US played the devil's advocate de facto,
Putin turn deaf hears, no word from NATO.
Perpetual and cruel hatred longering,
UK government shy from stopping the warmongering
Saudi government from owning Newcastle.
CFC sanctioned at the slightest chance without hassle
and employees suffer another man's sanctions.
Who's responsible for these calamitous situations?
Who's coming after Putin in this debacle we all see?
Cowards will rather attack the fatherless CFC

Double-standard and sheer hypocrisy 
Only highlights United Kingdoms' enemity.
Innocent staffs can't fathom the enormity
of the sanctions backed by stern actions,
melted daily by the government organizations

No one to save the innocent Chelsea,
Not Bates, not Roman, not the NHS nor Halsey


abandoned by father Roman who is on the run,
forcing the father to disown his own son,
leaving the Blues feeling blue, 
and looking a shadow of themselves like a lone fool.
Europe is responsible for the war, not CFC.

Hope this is all father justice sees.

Josef Craig

This man loves Newcastle United football club, 
And has overcome Graves’ disease thyroidal, 
By having an op to remove that deathly snub, 
Of his prowess in the swimming pool brutal. 

He won a bronze in the 100 metres freestyle,
At the British Swimming Championships 2012,
Then at the UK championships international,
Those for disabled people, he won in the youth.

He also took gold there, in the 50m men’s youth,
In 29.95 secs, and in the men’s open 400 metres,
He won bronze. At the London Paras the truth,
Is he was Britain’s youngest gold medalist, cheers!

He was the North East’s own sports personality,
And won the MBE in 2013. CP is his condition,
And he’s gone from being an S7 by true nobility,
To being a category S8, by his rugged dedication.

The Sea Gull

The Sea Gull

The one-legged seagull king that lived on the last reef
before the ocean began had lived long, longer than gulls normally do
He came from a sturdy breed that for generations had lived
at the edge of land and sea; they knew things other birds didn’t know
On the ferry bound for England the king came onboard, I fed it fine
knowing well the king would be back when the ferry returned 
Other younger birds wanting the space on the last reef, attacked the king
who never more returned; to the ferry boat they circled and shrieked
in triumph demanding preferential treatment, I gave them potato peel
and saved the best leftovers for the gulls on the coast of Newcastle
After years of a zero-sum life having no time for anything, I retired and
bought a cabin far inland, but near a lake that had a wooden pier and
a rowing boat, a place where the trout waked undisturbed.
On the top of the chimney he sat, the old king, waiting just for me.

You shattered my dream

2025.4.20

I was so excited. I was going on a trip,
All the way to New South Wales, Sydney.
Where I last visited in 2006.
This time, I wanted to climb,
On the Australia icon "Sydney Harbour bridge",
Stamped my feet around the Rocks square, 
Then on the Sydney Opera House's steps.
I had a choice either up north
To Newcastle and Lake Macquarie,
Or down south to Jervis Bay.
I really longed for a holiday,
A relaxing and appointment free day.
Away from home Victoria, Melbourne,
Away from certain people and sad memories.
I just wanted to be free, even just a few day.
I was so happy with the news.
I danced around and fell down.
I woke up from my dream.
What even worse was there were realality promises,
To travel with me to Sydney by somebody,
Whom I thought I could trust,
After stood meup in the past.
The promises were, the Sydney's trip,
If it could not be during Easter Holidays,
Then it would be sometime in May.
Promised promises were made
Only for music to my ears.
They were never made to be fulfilled.
I could  really see the true color of your face.
What amazed me was,
It did not take long at all,
Everything had come out in the wash.
It came out much early than I thought.
There was another saying in my language,
Paper can't cover fire.
You may pull the wools over my eyes,
But my brain still be able to decide.
What sort of person you were really like.
You did not stand the test of time.
I had wasted some much energy,
Dreaming of being with you as a travel companion.
No. You lied all these time,
Made me believe I could build my dream. 
Sweet dream but not in reality.

Brexit, Brexit, Mon Amour

Shall I compare thee unto a crate of beer,
or, if not that, then unto washing powder?
Today I shun all things that are austere;
soft tones must yield to songs that are far louder.
May's shandy was for working men too sweet.
Newcastle Brown for them is much more dandy.
Reese-Mogg appealed but to the high elite.
It's Boris now  who's dealing out the candy.
His soap  suds as detergents  wash much  whiter
and his packaging's so appealing to the eye.
My desire 's for something that's much brighter
than the dowdy hues of Mr. Corbyn's dye.
Boris we hail victor, for'tis he who's  won the day.
To his product though a question. Who art thou anyway?

Black and White

There are lots of things that are black and white,
Like zebras and Newcastle United, they are a good team and get their fans excited.

Penguins are mostly black and white, but some have coloured plumage too,
There are quite a few different types you can see them in the zoo.
There are lots of crows, from rooks and ravens and the black and white magpie too.

Undertakers wear black and white, and waiters often wear the same,
They are both just playing the formal dress code game.

Snooker players wear black and white when you see them on the television,
They are brilliant when you watch them they play the game with such precision.

A while ago there wasn’t any colour just black and white TV,
So, watching other sports just wasn’t so easy.

There are so many things, I could go on and on, 
But luckily there are other colours that can make a rainbow that stretches into the sky beyond.

The world goes on with so many colours in many different hues,
From yellow and purple right through to shades of blue.

But really, we all know that there is wrong and there is right,
Things should all be so simple its really black and white.

Welcome To the North

The north of England,
Is without a doubt,
A massive community,
That is paramount.

It’s a place where people,
Express their talent,
A place where people,
Should go if they haven’t.

A magical place,
Of women and men,
With the angel of the north,
Instead of the Big Ben.

We have some memories,
Unique to the world,
The Blackpool tower,
Where the dancers all twirled.

Oasis, stone roses,
Arctic monkeys, twisted wheel,
The north has a taste,
With a very strong appeal.

Black pudding,
Blackpool rock,
I tell you now,
We have the lot.

We have musicians,
Painters with talent,
We have good chefs,
There’s nothing that’s absent.

The north of England,
An extraordinary place,
If you come to visit,
There will be a smile on your face.

From Newcastle to Manchester,
Liverpool to Leeds,
There’s a city or town,
To fill all of your needs.

As Manchester say,
That we stand together,
All the north are the same,
For now and forever.

The beginning to the end

My start in life was not round here, 
Newcastle was my home, 
But now I've spent 20yrs in washington where I roam, 
Now I wonder what is left, 
A hopeless future at its best, 
A big part missing cruelly took, 
Plucked from life with a baited hook,
20yrs and it ends this way, 
With no one by my side today, 
3years ago and all was fine, 
A loving family spending time, 
We had our problems all families do,
Without a challenge you won't get through, 
But one big problem had us beat, 
Cervical cancer we had to greet, 
The biggest upset was it's stage, 
The worst stage 4 was off the page, 
We just knew it was so bad, 
There was no magic spell we had,
So all I could do for my love, 
Was go beyond and up above, 
We were happy with what we had, 
Our son still has his mam and dad, 
The family bond worked well together, 
It led us forward in life for ever, 
When a problem came to light, 
We managed to solve it and get it right, 
The two of us we were a team, 
So strong together it would seem, 
We solved our problems we'd think it through, 
As proud parents that's what you do, 
But that one day it all went wrong, 
As the saying goes "it went Pete Tong ",
The nightmare started at the clinic, 
Sat in reception with a look of panic, 
Time stood still as the verdict was read,
All the results was everything you dread, 
The feeling of real shock, 
Never felt it before, 
Such a kick in the face as we walked out the door, 
That was the first of a catalogue of bad news, 
It was now that the cancer would start to abuse, 
My partner hung on and battled away, 
But the cancer won over on the 5th of May.
