Premium Member Buzz Off

I swung with a vengeance but missed that damned fly
The breeze I’d created caused him to pass by
My electric racquet in underarm mode
Still failed to make that bluebottle explode

It filled me with hate as it buzzed round my plate
I swung and I swung and became more irate 
That foul little demon was soon to be dead
As soon as it took itself off of my head

Now, I’m not a coward in anyone’s book
But I’m in no hurry to smell my brain cook
I angled my zapper to strike as it rose
And almost set fire to the tip of my nose

It flitted at speed like a Pac-Man on heat
But I am a human… I will not be beat
My dinner was cooling and it wasn’t salad
I’ll murder that fly and then write me a ballad

Overarm, underarm, back-hand and flip
My energised racquet was firm in my grip
At one point it landed on chandelier-high
And I had to wave that light fitting goodbye

My sausage was cold (can we please keep this clean)
And I had become a fly killing machine
A back somersault and a cartwheel or two
My electric racquet had flashed neon blue

Poor little Tiddles, she trusted me so
Her recuperation has some way to go
But I’ll give her cuddles and snuggles and then
I dearly regret that I zapped her again 

Twas kinda Dick Whittington, but in reverse
Tiddles left home and I don’t know what’s worse
My poor little kitten is out on her own 
But that demon-fly is at rest on my phone

How great the temptation to say what the hell
And batter that fly and my iPhone as well
But then it took off and it sped through the air
I swung and I swiped and set fire to my hair

Okay I confess; just a few hairs got singed
But I don’t have many and that’s why I whinged
In anger I swiped at the sound of its hums
Which came close to giving me two deep fried plums

How bloody long can a bluebottle live
My electric racquet and I cannot give 
Yet more gymnastics to vanquish our foe
As I shoot some volts through my right hand big toe

I whirled like a dervish and now on a mission
I swung like a thing that had infra red vision
But, boy, did I cheer at the quiet little ‘phut!’
As that fly took a window to find it was shut

                               ***

But now I feel guilty for I’ve done okay
Though I don’t know who saw me swinging away
I owe my new job to that small airborne menace
My local school wants me to teach the kids tennis

Premium Member The Healthy Holiday

Taking a vacation 
After being a patient 
Is a very interesting prescription indeed 
What do you mean? 
One option could be to choose 
Relaxing on a cruise 
Could this make the former health care captive better? 
Or will the sea heir stomach up setter?
With that attitude 
Stay at home and be rude 
Visit each port 
Take a tour of sort 
Reflect on history 
And discuss the fluffy academic mystery 
Answers may come 
While having fun 
Another idea could be 
Involving the sea 
A simple drive to the beach 
That is realistic and well in reach 
Sit on the sand 
Drinking a favorite brand
While listening to the ocean issuing its commands 
When it bashes down 
With its pounding sound 
This natural voice 
May assist in making a difficult choice 
Another way to recuperate 
Book an outdoor adventure date 
Go to a National Park 
Stay after dark 
Listen to the wildlife there 
And be calm when encountering an innocent scare 
Trust will come again 
Especially when 
Enjoying toasting marsh mellows with a Big Bear named Ben 
Finally there are desert resorts 
Claiming many fetishes in their fort 
A card to be revealed 
With a show being a nice deal 
Electricity that has a trance 
Stimulating the body’s emotion when watching the talent dance 
Taking a vacation 
After being a patient 
Could be a good move that is right 
By leaving the health care fight 
Still having life 
With all its might

The Battles of Love

You have made a big impression
On my whole recuperation
I’m forever in your debt
And i will never forget
The way you pulled me from loves war
Letting my heart know the score
There’ll be no more aprehension
Since this battle has been won
I know longer have to fight
You came along and made things right
Chasing away calamities
Causing all my injuries
Your healing hands have opened up
My heart that has been sealed shut
From hate that has been magnified
Surrounding me from every side
I thought i would have to retreat
But your loves helped me defeat
The pain that we sometimes possess
Leaving us in bad distress
Until the lucky day we find
Help to leave it all behind

328 The Shriek of the Decapitated Hydra

328.

The Shriek of the Decapitated Hydra



Iiiiiiiii…It hurts! How hot is the amputation…

Committed by the blade of your bloody weapon?!

But watch out for the result of your transgression?



Wiiiiiiii…Witness! Here it grows again! See my recuperation!

Now double your trouble! Double your damnation!

Hahahahahahahahaha! Poor Hercules! You've got a harder operation!



Iiiiiiiii…Intolerable! Another chop! Another daring action!

Don't you know it'll be the same situation?!

Grow! Grow another head! Let's move on!



Iiiiiiiii…Ignorant man! What a stupid person?!

Do not be blinded by your own illusion!

You have no match for this mighty creation!



Kiiiiiiii…Kill every source of his inspiration!

Let's end his brave, impossible mission!

He's nothing compared to our raging union!



Iiiiiiiii…Impossible! Why can't we carry on?!

Aha! One by one he's putting us into incineration!

Alas! Oh Lerma! Hear this Shriek of the Decapitated Hydra – a melting iron!

Window of Dreams

The visions beyond the enduring crisp of firmament,
wishes of ideal and escape into mental decadent.
Dreaming vacancies to the holy sane,
loving aspiration forever by gratitude of reign.
Childhoods play and magical thought wonderland,
where the impossible is the golden rule to understand.
Enchanted places and many self that only oneself really knows,
myriad of creatures in foreign worlds with all its bestows.
Wonder of heroic wealth by its absolute power trace,
image simulation molded and caught in transcendental space.
The dream weaver holds the levitating rotating globe at hand,
destinies favorite muse conducting with the magical wand.
The law of loves beauty in its own delicate retrospect,
never looses its enchanting wonder and surprise effect.
The castle of indomitable presence and sacred ground,
the worst of worst for recuperation found.
Shared stories sensing itself to the turning point of matter,
creating synchronized universes distinctive blue and flatter.
Seeing clearly know for all makes perfect sense,
the tincture of spheres colliding with residue of love immense.

Premium Member Black and Blue Friday

BLACK AND BLUE FRIDAY

First – the carbo-loading
monster meal to sustain
the beast that drives
the cornerstone of greed
in mindless hunt for “bargains”.

Next – jockeying for position
awaiting the starter’s pistol
explosion of coupon bearers
storming the gates of ….greed
pursuing an empty, endless, need.

Feint right, fake left, bob and weave
position, position, timing
shuffle-step, reverse pivot
head fake and twist, break right
aisle 6, electronics, end zone – score!!!

Crazy dance, fire works,
no flags thrown, no penalties.
Game over.  Ice and ibuprofen,
rest and recuperation.
AH, the joy of
BLACK (AND BLUE) FRIDAY.

Premium Member Resolution

At last contentment is undulating around me. 
The fragmented shards of discord quieted and still. 
The year began in mayhem and ends in peaceful silence. 
A ceasefire in hostilities; an armistice. Resolution. 

In conclusion, I am happy with the simplicity I found; 
the pruning of possessions, the clarity of clearing; 
space, time, direction and a settling into certitude. 
A period of recuperation; a time of renewal. 

I reached deep into my soul and found a pool of tranquility. 
Its waters cleansed and refreshed me and I splashed 
its sparkling rejuvenation into the bleak crevices 
of discontentment, emerging energised and whole. 

Now contentment is undulating around me and I am strong. 
I belong at last.  The past is past and the future beckons. 
The year began in mayhem and ends in peaceful resolution, 
and, in conclusion, I am happy with the simplicity I found.

Little Santa Helpers

Santa has outsourced his services to child labourers from Bangladesh they
                         fit zero-sized through chimneys much easier and the leaner they are the
better they share full of joy in the globalised feast of winter communion

Detached they are from ‘wrongful’ beliefs and so much happier for their distant
                            faithful relation to Christmas plus they are used to half naked toil with
loin cloths draped in native design and fig-leafed in the wider scheme of migrant
                                extortion minimum wage wasted on them but they might get some 
tips from little children on other sides of divides if those can catch them in glee

But then there are milk ‘Ho Ho Beer’ and biscuits by the fireplace laced with 
               incense and Prozac not licensed for young ones maybe but the booze as willing 
sign of cross-culturalization is surely inclusive and a Peace offering sponsored by
                ‘Alcohol Without Borders’ while the odd trace of Ritalin keeps ordered control

Santa is not really burnt out but neo-liberal delegation is the vogue of the month
                   and post traumatic stress drones and hoovers on his sick note nevertheless
as his bonuses and shares float on Panamanian waters and now he needs a lungi  
             as well instead of the red coat extra large without doubt as he burps in the sand

The Bangladeshis meanwhile chirp in silent frost bitten nights but at least there
               are soot and ashes no sunburn sometimes carrots with broom sticks thereafter
almost a year of ‘social’ benefits homely rest recuperation free time for Mohamed

They scrub brush and sand their dehydrated skins by the Ganges until they come
           to accept the ‘Terms of their Trade’ bow to diversity’s splendour and discern what
is dirt and what their skin colour and it’s the latter that keeps them employed
