We have not all got what it takes to be a racing car driver

We are not all meant, for the driving of fast cars,
And some will only ever be backseat drivers at best,
So why do they expect us all to be able,
To travel in the fast lane on the internet,
When the consequences of not looking where we are going,
Can cause more harm and misery,
Than that related to any real world car crash past or present., 

Do those in charge of the internet not understand,
That most of their online drivers control more than one set of wheels,
And even a minor engine failure through lack of awareness,
Of the need to change gear when traffic is at its heaviest,
With the prospect of more than one winter of discontent,
If they miss the warning signs.

My Desk Drawer

I am sitting at my desk attempting at some prose
But nothing seems to come to me nothing to compose
My minds a canvas blank not two words can I rhyme
So I try counting backwards just to pass the time

Then without a conscious reason except for boredom's reach
I open my desk drawer to a mixture of mystique

A magnetic magic bracelet used to cure my rheumatism
Surrounded now with pins and staples an error in optimism
A yellow wooden pencil its rubber now a stub
An unused lifetime membership to some forgotten club

A mechanical lead pencil with no refills in sight
A bottle of used white-out the top cemented tight

Post-it notes with messages which I can't understand
Telephone numbers without a name not written in my hand
Ballpoint pens with dried-up ink no longer do they write
A solar-powered calculator gone flat for lack of light

Rubber-bands that no longer stretch and little bits of string
Two black dice and a deck of cards missing a red king

Sun glasses a mini racing car and a worn-out golf shoe cleat
A funny little package which reads "Silica Do Not Eat
Orange sore-throat soothers now melted to a bar
Finger-nail clippers picture hooks and a pick for a guitar

A polishing cloth and a lucky charm that never seemed to pay
Needle and cotten a used band-aid and a bottle of nasal spray
Screw drivers erasers fluro-pens that have gone dry
Sticky tape a set of keys and a flashy bright bow-tie

This jumble of confusion has failed to solve my plight
I'll just keep counting backwards till I find something to write

Premium Member Muscle

It’s a muscle car, a super car, a racing car, yeah
She’s speeding down the highway, with the wind in her hair

It’s a muscle car, a super car, a racing car, yeah
Burning up the highway like she don’t have a care

It’s a muscle car, a super car, a speeding machine
Shes speeding like she wants to go too fast to be seen

It’s a muscle car, a super car, a bullet on wheels
Only she could drive while wearing stiletto heels

It’s a muscle car, a super car, it cuts through the night
She’s flicked a switch and now it’s lights are piercing and bright

It’s a muscle car, a super car, I’ve got to be there
Now I only see its lights and yet I don’t care

It’s a muscle car, a super car, it’s freedom or bust
It’s steel at speed and frankly it’s why I bit the dust

It’s a muscle car, a super car, and it sent me off
For its laminated windshield wasn't good for a moth

Nobby the Narwhal

Nobby the Narwhal,
Lived in the sea,
He had the longest there ever could be.

Nobby's school was really quite small,
He had to take all of his lessons sat alone in the hall.

After school he would swim slowly home,
And spend each evening all alone in his room.

Every day he felt sadder than sad,
But his friends were the best and they told him things were not so bad.

The Head Teacher Mrs Dolphin who wore the nicest perfume,
Moved the school all around to make a perfect school room.

Nobby had his desk pushed to one side,
The classroom was made so that it was extra wide.

Nobby had to go into the classroom first,
But sitting alone in the hall had been much worse.

He sat with his tusk all along one side of the room,
He was so happy the days went by so fast like a racing car with a very loud vroom.

Nobby was good at numbers, spelling and reading, he loved looking at books,

He read ever one he could find and would reead it right to the end no matter how long it took.

Now Nobby is older he tells the younger children to do her best each day,
And that if they are sad just keep on trying there is always a way.

Behind Every Cloud

As the dragon roared across the sky
It seemed to grow another eye
Hiding from the dragons flame
I could see a lady, head bowed in shame

She lifted her arms as in supplication   
Holding them up for the duration
The dragon roared past the lady of shame
Ignoring her plea and let loose his flame

We waited to see if a champion would come
And deal the dragon a blow 
If he did would the dragon succumb?
These things we need to know

To the side she fell and rolled away
It was then a dolphin came out to play
It leapt and swam before our eyes
These wondrous shapes that filled our skies

I held my breath spellbound for sure
My little nephew wanting more
He pointed out a cat with no tail
And I saw a racing car growing a sail

The show was over the clouds turned grey
Another shower on our summer day
The stories it told for the morning so grand
As my little nephew held onto my hand

The magic of the clouds above
The ever changing scene they play
So much amused and fascinated us
We will be back to watch another day

Dream

The monolith stands out stark 
against the black background
we dream of a god 
some computer unseen

Yet would a computer understand 
would a computer feel the emotions we feel
would a computer create a paradise 
would a computer create a hovel

We dream of paradise 
a world where the violence of life 
has disolved into dreams of success
a world of transparent values

admirable bounty cast in a golden cave
yet imagine what you can acheive
you an emotional computer 
of complex fascination

An emotional being 
of wonderful dreams
able to leap incredable chasms
of intellergent thought

If only we could dream together
imagine the towers we could build
imagine the heights that we could climb
imagine the peace that we could create

We could turn our dreams into reality
creating a world of fantasy in life
Disney land devoted to the land of life
a world of fun and games 

where adults played the life of little ceaser
where children laughed and giggled every day
we could build a mountain just to create a slide
we could build a jeep just to have a ride

I can dream of racing car that travel out into the stars
I can dream of peace and life of fun and games of happy wives
I can dream of love's romance the star lite nights where we can dance
I can dream of a world built for fun and game's

If only the world would dream with me 
if only they would take a simple step
if only they could dream.
dreams become real when we build a plan.

Picture Crazy

As the dragon roared across the sky
It seemed to grow another eye
Hiding from the dragons flame
I could see a lady, head bowed in shame

She lifted her arms as in supplication   
Holding them up for the duration
The dragon roared past the lady of shame
Ignoring her plea and let loose his flame

We waited to see if a champion would come
And deal the dragon a blow 
If he did would the dragon succumb?
These things we need to know

To the side she fell and rolled away
It was then a dolphin came out to play
It leapt and swam before our eyes
These wondrous shapes that filled our skies

I held my breath spellbound for sure
My little nephew wanting more
He pointed out a cat with no tail
And I saw a racing car growing a sail

The show was over the clouds turned grey
Another shower on our summer day
The stories it told for the morning so grand
As my little nephew held onto my hand

The magic of the clouds above
The ever changing scene they play
So much amused and fascinated us
We will be back to watch another day

Nismo Is So Nimble

Bulky ute voyeur selects sleek sporty stalion
    Driving by, supersedes her oversized sedan
    Wide wheel arches have Porche comparison
    Voracious engine's enthuse easily enchants


     Large car cast dispelled by lacklustre Calais
     Original conjur 370Z parked beside boring
     Low leg swing exclusive slide in, magic valet
     Over revved start stabs adrenalin assuring 
     

     Our dear Dara, choice contacted in December
     Available last minute to test drive his beast
     Black gloss road boss, enlarged 'lungs' terror
     Capable crazy bitumen baby, tester pleased


     Ultimate Man concurs, the amenable outcome
     Keys in her hand a few days after, aura froze
     Couldn't imagine huge generosity from anyone
     Racing car reap, increase on what she sows

 
     Merry go round roads, another showoff slotted 
     Silver pole stabilised glides in Surfers cycle
     Crosslane carousel onlookers, briefly besotted
     By hot hoof nimble Nissan race horse style
