Date at Arby's

Jealous Jillian meets zealous Philip at Arby’s.
With ONE green eye she spies his double-order curly fries,
No FUN when his French dip starts to drip on her Barbies.

She cleans them off and leans close in to his plate
SNEAKING a meager handful while eager Phil tries
to confess for the FREAKING mess he’s made of their date.

She orders Smokehouse Brisket; he GETS a gravy/biscuit.
PLUS as a “to go” surprise,  IT’S two apple pies.
THUS Phil walks Jill home. A goodnight kiss? will he risk it?

Premium Member William To Mary

In a Van I Drew up to the Carol-singing Abby
Warren, I was to Finley realize my wish to Mary.
Denise met me with a Lacy family Jewel blob.
Heather Matts were strewn on the floors.
Art was on Emery wall for Al to adore
Anna in the running Walter fountain,
I watched various, colorful fruits Bob.
No longer did all Phil so Harry to me.

Avery thing in view seemed to relax me.
I couldn’t help but give my Billy a Pat.
To be Frank, I was glad to have nixed an Emma
Justin case my nerves caused Adam dilemma.
Shirley, Olive the details, large and small
Had this Dawn met Grace, the Helen ones and all.

I am to I do, for William to Mary at first dark –
Ann event none may make Eric, Jack up or Mark.

[Foreigner]
waiting for a girl like you -
the wild flower by the gate
			 
[Phil Collins]
another day in paradise -
my love chalice filled and refilled
			 
[The Beatles]
here comes the sun -
furtively she draws the curtain to my heart
	
[Creedence Clearwater Revival]
have you ever seen the rain? 
I was blind to unspoken love

[Simon & Garfunkel]
the sound of silence -
we dance to the rhythm of our hearts

[Lady Antebellum]	
need you now -
the rose petals keep falling…down

[A Rocket to the Moon]
baby blue eyes -
heaven reflected in the swell of the sea 

[Mary Hopkin]
those were the days 
…and then your hand slipped out of mine

[Sting]
fields of gold -
the setting sun ripples on water

[Ronan Keating]
when you say nothing at all -
searching for reassurance in your eyes

Phil the Tech Enthusiast

There once was a tech enthusiast,  
Name of Phil, and in him an obsession did persist.  
It was with his laptop that he couldn't part  
And so he took it, truly, everywhere he'd start.  

In meetings, at school, and even in the loo  
The laptop never went off, no matter what he'd do.  
He called it his wife, with love and a smile  
Said it kept him going, every day a new mile.  

Late at night, you'd see Phil's face aglow  
As he worked on his laptop, with no desire to go  
To bed or to rest, for work was all he'd know  
As he typed away, letting his ideas flow.  

But it wasn't just work, it was about knowledge too  
He surfed the web, acquiring new skills in all he'd do  
From cooking to carpentry, he wanted to learn  
All while maintaining his core tech focus with every turn.  

People close to him, they knew him well  
And they knew, wherever he went, his laptop he'd sell  
His devoted companion, his trusty friend  
On whom he could always rely in the end.  

And yet, in his mind, it was more than mere attachment  
It was a tool, a means for his advancement  
In the world of tech, and in life as a whole  
He longed for success, to reach his aspirational goal.  

In one hand Phil held his laptop tight,  
In the other, a hot cup of coffee for the night.  
They were the perfect companions, through thick and thin  
Simply inseparable, like a twin.  

People often wondered, would he ever break away?  
From the glimmering screen, that kept the world at bay  
But Phil knew what he needed, and it wasn't far  
Reaching new heights, reaching for the star.  

Here's to the tech enthusiasts, out there in the world  
With their laptops by their sides, always unfurled  
For passion and drive are what make us who we are  
So let's keep typing away, reach for the next bar.

let's remember, as we type away each day,  
That our laptops are more than just screens in a way  
They're part of our journey, what makes us unique  
A reflection of our drive, our purpose, our mystique.

So let us salute Phil, for his drive and his heart  
To chase his dreams and let his obsession play a central part  
For in this digital age, and in all that we pursue  
Our laptops are not mere gadgets, but a part of our soul too.

Jackie who was permanently stuck in the twos after
a childhood vaccine that was due..
Larry's addiction and prior crimes that led to his
affliction and wheel chair confine.
Bill who struggled with his c.p., only hoping that
others could see beyond his disability..
Joe whose institutional blows caused stuttering,
frustration and angry explodes..
Carol whose Asperger's left her obsessed compulsively
dialing strangers on her ex boyfriend quest..
George who got an inner thrill by chasing trash trucks
until they turned on the hill..
Phil who in public would stop and beg to touch the
calf of a woman's leg..
Barbara with her theatrical flare who craved full attention
every where..
Howard who lost his serenity when any change occured
in his vicinity..
James and his life long obsession with Marlboro lights
and fake wrestling..
Our society labels them developmentally delayed but
many were the best friends I've ever made..

Farewell to 2024

An American perspective on domestic and world events, in no particular order

SCOTUS rules that Trump’s immune
China flies the spy balloon
Starship booster landing glee
J. Assange is walking free

Bergdorf, Neiman join Saks
Our Secret Service sucks
Russia swaps her jailed spies
Alexei Navalny dies 

Mitch McConnell’s stepping down
“Boris” causes Europe drown
Biden cancels loan debt
Hunter’s pardoned by his dad

Hezbollah - beheaded snake
East Coast’s shaken by the quake
Eagle Pass – still open path
Gaza tastes Israeli wrath

North of 40 goes Dow Jones
Loses fight one Alex Jones
French Olympics is a dud
Milton, Helen’s awful flood

Bitcoin’s rising through the roof
“Donald Trump is bullet-proof”
MSNBC for sale
Diddy Combs in Brooklyn’s jail

Donald wins and Harris not
Brian T. assassins’ plot
Bankman-Fried, the largest fraud
“AI” reach is getting broad

Pavel Durov nabbed in France
But illegals push, advance
Mid-East war still rages on
“Year of Snake” is almost born

TikTok may not be around
Syria has fallen down
Anti-Semites flowing crud
Israel keeps oozing blood

Taylor Swift, the billionaire
Art, banana, millionaire
Gone Red Lobster, Tupperware
Weapons for Ukraine affair

Prada sews the spacewalk suit
DOJ quits Trump’s pursuit
Spirit Air takes nose dive
Elon Mask in overdrive

Iran rockets come like rain
Hostages remain in pain
No DC resolve, it’s air
Beirut pagers need repair

Russia crumbles from within
Lower price on gasoline
“Brat”, the word of current year
Now, to ones we once revere

Gone for good, but left imprint
Culture, sport, each own footprint
Lou Carnesecca, Dr. Ruth
Wheel of Fortune Chuck, sad truth

Quincy Jones – culture brass
James Jones - Darth Vader bass
Newhart Bob, satire most 
One Phil Donahue, the host

Famous Amos, Maggie Smith,
Richard Simmons, workout wiz
Global flier Dick Rutan
Gossett Lou, of actors’ clan

Matthew Perry, Terry Garr 
O.J. Simpson football star
Willie Mays of baseball fame
Y. Sinwar, mankind’s shame

Year’s drawing to a close
Parties, cheer and best clothes
Time for thought and time for fun
Merry Xmas, everyone!

Phil Davenport

RAF navigator Ron Day and I took of from Banff, Scotland,
I was in the RAAF, an Australian, and we flew in formation:
40 Mosquitos to attack German ships in Norway land,
In a harbour, Porsgrunn, but then came an acclamation.

“Bandits three o’clock! “,  and so we did not strike a ship, 
But broke away left and flew ’til I spotted sand on a beach,
But as i got closer realised it was Norwegian ice, no quip, 
So the landing damaged us, plane and all, but we did reach. 

After unjamming my leg, i paddled up to the surface, 
With relief saw Ron afloat in his life jacket, life raft burst;
We felt mentally and physically numb and did brace, 
We struggled, but heard a man from a boat shout in lust. 

The farmers carried and cared for us, or cared for Ron, 
But they told me “Germans come,” so we left by a pony, 
I sat and shivered in the cart, then took a car to Oslo bon, 
Our uniforms were yellow stained by the lake, very shabby. 

We were then taken to hospital, but i ended up in prison, 
And on Monday the 30th of April 1945 Hitler killed himself,
And we knew informally we were free, def by the elision, 
When a guard gently touched my back, himself to shelf. 

That was when the war in Europe was over for me, then, 
But we had to await official victory when RAF men came,
However, before that, just to be sure, we left for the glen, 
‘Cos the Luftwaffe general was contradicting the game.

We got back to London and i left for Australia on Orion, 
And the celebrations would’ve lost control for alcohol, 
‘Cos I’d found out that my brothers were alive and on:
We birthed, the collective mind reacted, but not us all.

Premium Member Nutty As a Fruitcake

When confused or excited,
Phil chatters inanely.
When he’s irked, he’s not placid;
He gestures insanely.

When he’s full of strange antics,
some folks won’t go near him.
He just gets on their last nerve--
no reason to fear him.

When he makes wild suggestions,
his family get surly,
and his friends are disparaging:
“Phil, don’t be squirrelly!”

They think Phil’s such a fruitcake,
a loser, a dummy.
He would show them all. He'd make
creations so yummy.

When this loser got famous,
they all were astounded.
A great fruit cake company
old nutty Phil founded!

His old critics are huge fans,
rating his cakes "superior.”
They recall when they all thought
Phil was so inferior.

Six More Weeks

Both Punxsutawney Phil
And local Staten Island Chuck
Saw their shadows which, on Groundhog Day,
Means we are out of luck.

It seems that winter will be here
For 6 more weeks, at least,
If you believe predictions made
By this forecasting beast.

Supposedly, this got its start
When Pennsylvania Dutch
Marked Candlemas as “Badger Day”
And it remained as such

Since 1886, when if
A badger left its den
And sunshine cast its shadow,
Spring would not be seen again

For 4 more weeks (though now it’s 6),
Which might cause disbelief;
Though with this cold, an ending date
Would be a great relief!

Premium Member Not For Elephants

In the liveliest REM stage of his night 
Bert beholds an unusual sight.
A troupe of pink elephants sound a trumpet blast 
Then stomp united towards the grass.
On the other side, a team of tall strong guys
March to the pitch with focussed eyes.
"I'll be the goalie!' Dan told Bert.
'I'm least likely to get hurt."
Bert referees. His reminder the same,
"The joy's in the play, not winning the game."
At half time, a call is heard from Phil.
"How have the elephants scored two nil?
It's not right. It makes no sense...
Football's not for elephants!"
The guys huddle up and devise a plan
To catch as many mice as they can.
When the teams take position on the green
A commotion begins. A chaotic scene!
The elephants pale to white as a goose
When all the mice have been let loose.
The guys score goals before the mice disappear 
The elephants play on, when free from fear.
Bert awakens amazed and confused.
He starts to laugh, feeling quite amused.
He answers the question written on Suzanne's face.
He fills her in on the match that took place.
