Paul played table tennis as part of his rehab,
So accepted an invitation to ‘Come and Try’,
Which saw him selected for a German contest,
To represent Wales ‘cos he’s from Cardiff fab.
That was first bat, his accident was in 1986,
So Paul was chosen for the London Paras,
Where he won the men’s singles bronze,
He was extremely satisfied with his bricks.
In 2013 at the European Championships,
Paul won singles silver, he lost to Will Bayley,
But the two combined irrespectively to win,
The gold medal for the team matches, sticks.
Then he broke his leg, but in 2014 returned,
To gain singles medals in Slovenia, Slovakia,
And together with Rob Davies, gold medalist,
He won a gold in both places, they burned.
Paul made the ParalympicGB Team in Rio,
Where he was accompanied by his wife, carer,
Who sadly passed away suddenly afterwards.
Son Jonathan plays TT in Wales U21 phono.

Then slowly, slowly,
as after a long winter,
a pale light began to rise
over the Triglav’s white crown.
It was not the light of politics,
nor the light of worldly triumph,
but the soft radiance
of returning grace.
2.
I saw young faces
Looking at the old churches
with curiosity,
as if hearing an echo
from the deep places of the soul.
I saw hands reaching out
to rebuild altars
That time had wounded.
I saw strangers
finding shelter
in the hospitality of the faithful.
3.
And I knew:
The night is never the final word.
For every nation
that remembers love
will find its way home.

O Slovenia,
May your forests once again
whisper psalms at dawn.
May your rivers carry blessings
to every village and city.
May your children learn
that freedom without God
is a room without air,
but freedom with Him
It is a window opened toward eternity.
5.
Rise, homeland beloved.
Rise not as you were,
but as you were meant to be—
a land of peace,
a cradle of hope,
a lamp on the mountains
for all who wander
in the dark.
Amen.
whenever a young woman wants to abort an unwanted pregnancy
she get a lot of grief
yet, when young men and woman are deployed to fight
on foreign land and lose their lives
how is that okay?
Is It just a coincidence that just about every time the United States
becomes embroiled in war, a Republican is in the office of president
and how Is It possible for known terrorist groups
like the Aryan Nation, Al-Queda, or the Bloods to purchase
large quantities of guns without the ATF being aware of It
how is that okay?
how Is It that the entire world was oblivious to the genocide
occurring in Ruwanda and Sierra Leone
yet the United Nations ran over to Hertzakovia-Slovenia
at the first sign of trouble
how is that okay?
how Is It that the United States was halfway around the world
in Indonesia within 5 days after the tsunami
with food, clothing and recovery
yet here on United States soil it took over 10 days to get any
relief to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina
how is that okay?
where is the social responsibility?
where is the simple humanity?
where is the equality?
It's time for the people to take a stance today
and then maybe one day it will be okay
Will won the table tennis at Rio,
And celebrated this great victory,
By instantly jumping on the table,
With his arms stretched both sides.
For this he got the yellow card,
From a lines judge at the side,
So he approached her, hugged,
But she still didn't smile once.
He then ran over to his coach,
Arms wide open, hugged him:
Took a running jump, sprang,
Up into his arms in embrace.
He then did exactly the same thing,
To Jonny Vagus, the comedian:
He took another running jump,
And sprung straight into his arms.
Will was born with arthrogryposis,
Which affects all four of his limbs,
He overcame cancer aged seven,
And was born on 17 January 1988.
From Sheffield and Kent born,
And while Will was in hospital,
Overcoming cancer, lymphoma,
His grandma got him a TT table.
He loved it and joined a Kent club,
Represented Kent as non-disabled,
Moved to Bristol and met a coach,
And 2008 joined the para TT team.
In 2011 Will secured a solid gold,
At the Euro Champs in Croatia,
He was voted the Players’ Player,
So 2012 he became World No. 1.
At the London Paralympics 2012,
He was sad, greatly disappointed,
With silver for the men’s singles,
Loosing to Jochen Wollmart, DE.
In 2013 he struck silver, Euros,
Won gold at the Lignano Masters,
Another gold in Slovenia 2014,
Which set him up for the Worlds.
At the Worlds in Being in 2014,
Will won the men’s singles gold,
And a team bronze ‘cos he chats,
Then came the Euros in 2015.
In 2015 Will travelled to Vejle,
Which is in Denmark’s land,
Where he took silver twice over,
For the singles, for the team.
1.
O Slovenia, valley of my first breath,
you harp of rivers and linden-scented winds,
How softly you once sang the songs
that warmed the hearts of shepherds and saints.
Your mountains were guardians,
Your church's lamps upon the hills,
Your evenings folded in the hush of prayer.
2.
But behold, a new silence has descended—
a silence that does not adore,
a silence that does not remember.
It sweeps through squares and schools,
quietly erasing the traces
of the One who walked beside you
through centuries of trial.
3.
Your children wander with hurried steps,
seeking new certainties,
new freedoms,
new altars of convenience.
They forget the Cross that once
kept our storms at bay.
They forget the stories told beside fires
in winter-darkened villages—
stories of faith that carried us
through wars, famine, and exile.
4.
O homeland, why do you turn
your face from the spring that sustained you?
Why do you drink from waters
that cannot quench your longing?
You seek comfort in forgetfulness
and call it progress.
You walk paths paved with hollow promises
and call it freedom.
5.
Yet even as I lament,
my grief is not a curse—
It is a prayer woven from love.
A child does not stop loving
because his mother ceases to listen.
He kneels more deeply,
weeps more quietly,
and hopes more fiercely
that she will one day return.
Sara played basketball in squad ParalympicsGB,
At Euros, at Worlds and at Commonwealth Games,
In Manchester and in Melbourne, and had TT victory,
At the Paralympics in London with her team-mate.
Her boyfriend introduced her to table tennis nifty,
And she’s a paralytic, from a virus at the age of 15,
“Meeting people in the same situation as [myself]
was a real eye-opener…it opened up my life again.“
In 2013 Sara and Jane Campbell took the gold,
In the team event class 1-3 in Bayreuth, Germany,
And then she won bronze for herself in the singles,
To ride right onto 2 bronzes in Slovenia, Slovakia.
Illness and surgery were then her disappointing lot,
But she returned in the Lignano Master Open 2016,
To win a fine silver for the team. In Rio, the quarters,
For both singles and team matches. Born 12/04/1990.
Paul suffered a stroke at the young age of ten,
He was born 3rd October 1985 in Swansea,
He had been a keen footballer, it was his den,
So was introduced to table tennis for his tee.
At the age of sixteen he was selected for GB,
For the Paralympic team which goes everywhere,
And immediately won team bronze, dexterity,
At the European Championships, he had dare.
He took part in the Beijing and London Paras,
But was tots disappointed at his performance,
But in 2013 Paul collected very many medals,
In the Hungary, Slovenia and Slovak dance.
So in the land of Italy at the European Champs,
Paul picked up a bronze with mate Will Bayley,
Won the US Open in San Diego with clamps,
So that in 2014’s China Worlds, a bronze relay.
Vejle in Denmark, 2015, and Paul won silver,
At the Euro Champs in the team competition,
And he also won in the singles a bronze feather,
‘Cos his opponent had home crowd adulation.
At the Lignano Master Open in Italy in 2016,
He proudly won team silver and singles bronze,
Which selected him for Rio but he was beaten,
In the group matches. Born with energy, eons.
“Anything can be achieved if you set your mind to it.”
Kim was born with the rare disease Poland’s syndrome,
Which means that he has abnormal or missing muscles,
On the left side of his chest wall, but surgery did tone.
A student of Medicine and Surgery at Leeds University,
He was a proud junior, the Under-13 level World No. 2,
In the sport of table tennis, ‘cos it's speed and closeness,
Instantly excited him when he tried it at nine, it had hue.
He made his international debut in 2008 at age sixteen,
And won lots of gold medals, came fourth at the Euros,
In 2011, which took him onto the London Paralympics,
Which are set in him as his epic, life-changing clothes.
So at the Slovenia Open in 2013, Kim won the bronze,
And then at the European Championships in the singles,
He made the quarter finals, but then at the Belgian Open,
He took the gold in the class 10 of the singles with ingles.
2014 saw him win a silver at the Slovenian Open again,
And then when he travelled to the Cote d’Azur to compete,
In their International, Kim consolidated his choice talent,
By stylishly taking the gold in the singles, a victory sweet.
Kim took a year off his studies in 2015 to prepare for Rio,
And in 2016 at Italy’s Lignano Master Open, determiner,
He secured a bronze in the singles, so Rio was certain,
There he reached the singles, team quarters: a winner.
Malignant gangrenous political cancer
corrupts, festers, and poisons United States,
thus opposition cannot wait,
especially since Gospel in accordance
with feeble minded Donald Trump
implemented wrought ugly trait,
particularly obliteration, sans progressive
human rights legislation
more or less pronounced positive
in every L ionized Nittany or cotton bowl state
and ratiocination inherent within
mine Democrat oriented mind doth rate
this forty fifth president (defect)
with sawdust packing
his noodle oven egotistical pate
trophy wife (spouse number three),
a Slovenia mate
donning "I don't care anymore"
t-shirt rousing media firestorm of late
essentially silently corroborating,
fostering, and illuminating hate
mutely bolstering the Trump anthem,
viz make America great
again, which pathless,
pithless, and pointless aim
roars like an earsplitting runaway freight
train oblivious of wailing soul asylum,
that no era meets said criteria
backtracking time machine before
rightful indigenous occupants of this land
got decimated as one after another
exploiter did inundate
(comprising a multitude
of indigenous variety of village people
indignantly subjected to Genocide,
when first "discoverer"

vis a vis capitulation, demolition,
