Tea for two always ends up in a hell-uv-a bellowing brew ;    
        tea and sympathy...

Baneful brickbats begat grievous barrier

Tell tale indelible woe y'all
privy to learn yours truly harbors
traces of the masterful
impregnable prepubescent wall
still extant scads of decades since
complex edifice erected to force tall
adolescence - permanently leaving me, 
(a poor...

I ease through the cranium, rhymes made of titanium,

Traces of the masterful
impregnable prepubescent wall
still extant scads of decades since
complex edifice erected to force tall
permanently leaving me unmoored,
marooned, and furloughed ready for pall
bearers to spill soil upon my
then emaciated stick figure overall,

an unlovely bag...

 Yearning to return home cheered by victory.
 Xerox machines preparing the next day’s papers; Max
 Wit for the shame or fame of a member of the show.
 Violent vitriol...

He played football for Everton’s junior or youth squad, 
But suffered an acquired brain injury, a fractured skull, 
Which gave him mild Cerebral...

What's the point in voting
it really dosn't count, 
I thought the highest scorer
knocked the others out.
But no,no, no............
I hear you shout
We are the people
we do not count.
Polititians rule the country
that is really true
They really do...

Remember going bowling
And the scoresheets that we used?
If there were lots of strikes and spares,
The scorer got confused.

We’d boldly mark those X’s
And accentuate each slash;
But that was long ago – 
Those years have vanished in...

Football crazy Exiles u13s 2024/25 season 

They're football crazy,
they're football mad,
Ipswich Exiles U13s,
the best they’ve ever had.
With speed and grit,
determination true,
Strength in all areas,
they play to rule. 

Our top goal scorer,
a year younger but bold,
His...

I feel for next-house Nora
Getting poorer and poorer:
A plant facing stem borer
While she seems a goal scorer 
Her idle hours rarer 
State of things not fairer...

Nora's younger: Victoria
Is doing well in Pretoria
And her cousin Eugenia

On a football pitch a frosty foul,
Spared by The Referee his booking howl
But not The Goalie’s condemning growl …

Just badly kicked was his jowl 
By the scorer now wearing a scowl!

“The Luckiest-Red-Card-Excused Owl!”

Irrepressibly rise would...
