The Greasy Saddle

In walked the Redeyed Stranger


Bragging: he used an excessive amount of
bagging gestures and words. He was told by
his handler to tune down the rhetoric, as one
person found him rude and overbearing. We
were worried someone would use the 
opportunity to be mean of crasp towards him.
His horse had been clipped and shampooed.
The animal was a prized Belgium Draft, hows
shiny black fur was a sight for even the most
novice of people. The most positive thing about
his rant was we foundout that he worried about
someone greasing his saddle. He told one of 
the men To watch the pranksters. One of them
 might want to grease my saddle to get me out 
of contention.When the time came for the horse pull
a fella went out and looked at all the saddles.
 and be hold the saddle for the Belgium Draft had
 been greased. A group of rider found a can of
 grease with a brush in the chicken coop behind
the pile of cornhusks.


This a story about a group of Show horse riders who incorporated 
"La selle Grasse" into there show. It was a scritp that involved the
 audience.Often the Staged show would involve horses doing tricks.
"The Magnificent Athlete" a fella who wore a mask and cape would
come to the rescue of the guy accussed of greasing the saddle,
they'd brawl and tell the audeince who really greased the saaddle,
revealing a tied up man gagged with a hankercheif in his mouth.
The Masked Man than would use this forumn to catupule his
rasslin carreer. He'd "work a-show" for cheap heat and get
the pop he needed to get over with the crowd. (  He was raising money
to start his restaurant)

Premium Member The Wild Life

I think they tease their hair
just to look a bit wilder
a little more… “coyote ugly”.
Perhaps a dash of “sports make-up”
under the eyes
to cut down the glare
of the headlights.
They roam the streets
hang out behind dumpsters
(probably smoking, telling coyote jokes”)
wondering why Mom and Dad
moved to the city.
Their den is in the Arboretum
overlooking the Boston skyline.
They go to Public School(s)
dumpster diving….
Covid box lunches.
Soon there will be more
a litter is due.
They may have to move
find a bigger place…
in the city….
good luck with that.

Where Is the Red Sox Pride

They were dubbed as being the greatest than ever before

Expectations were high even though they hadn’t begun to score

Huge salaries and talent some say they would be the best

But they couldn’t play together as a team as they were put to the test

Injuries happened, sometimes when they got the call

There was no fire in their heart as they started to fluster and fall

A team is suppose to rise no matter what the challenge or ill weather

Instead they plummeted with the worst baseball meltdown ever

We look up to them as heros but with their failure some cried

Now that the season is over maybe they will search and find there Boston Red Sox pride

Who is to blame for all of this some think that it is very clear

Find your heart in the off season sox players and thank God there will be a next year

Wimbledon Whites

At Wimbledon, you must wear white
To play upon the courts
And that includes your sneakers, visors,
T-shirts, socks and shorts.

The colour police do not allow
Off-white, ecru or cream
And sneaker soles and laces
Should be white enough to gleam.

A single trim of colour
May adorn your neck or cuff,
No wider than one centimetre,
Which should be enough.

These rules apply to underwear
As well, and all obey.
How shocking it would be
If some black lace were on display!

In other tennis venues
Players’ fashions may beguile
But at Wimbledon, these regulations
Cramp some people’s style.

Susie Rogers

Susie was inspired by the Beijing Paralympics, 
To pursue her talent at swimming, to train hard, 
So she was classified as an S7, deformed limbs,
And won three medals in London, one in Rio. 

She has a BA in languages from Newcastle, 
Which she uses in her British Council work,
And first appeared in Berlin city at the Euros,
In Germany’s 2011 IPC Championships.

In London she won freestyle bronze 100m, 
Another bronze for the 400 metres freestyle,
And yet another bronze for the 4x100m relay, 
Also free - it’s where you do the front crawl. 

In the French city of Montreal in Canada, 
Quebec, Susie secured 1 gold and 4 silvers, 
Gold for the 4x100m freestyle relay 34pts,
Silvers for 50, 100, 400 free and for 50 fly. 

In 2014 in Eindhoven in the Netherlands, 
Susie took five golds: the 50m butterfly,
The 50, 100 and the 400 metres freestyle,  
And another for the 100m freestyle relay.

Then in Glasgow at the IPC Worlds 2015,
Susie won a gold 4x100m medley relay,
Also a bronze for the 100 metres freestyle,
So Funchal 2016 (Euros) came naturally. 

In Funchal which exists on Madeira island,
Susie took five golds: the 50 metres butterfly,
The 50m, the 100m and the 400m freestyle,
And another for the medley relay, the 100m.

So in Rio she rejoiced when she won gold,
In the 50m butterfly in a time of 35.07 secs;
She could not believe it because she’s 33,
And intended to retire after London 2012.

Equality

My first memory of women’s football is Brandy Chastain 
	Taking her sports shirt off after she scored on the pitch
		Don’t know if she got a yellow card but had to google her name

The brazier underneath had no logo for advertising the make
	But surely the sexual quality of the display advanced the game
		As fine boobs pumped up by action asked for a second look

Twenty years after that iconic moment sexism is still rife
	Equality a dream of the future and yet aspirations grow
		The US team is favourite to win the world cup once more

Germany has a fine set of players and have not conceded so far
	Eight times European champions twice top at the World Cup
		The player’s names a ‘don’t know’ on the streets of the country

Bursting with confidence they are their own role models
	‘We do not need balls because we have long pony tails’
		‘Pferdeschwaenze’ in German with more meaning than one

For their first win at an international competition they got a tea set
	At least it was not a free set of sex toys or a packet of condoms
		They refuse to remain in kitchen and bed and ‘boy can they play’

My own daughter plays Rugby for Wales she is no Ian Rush
	Not Ryan Giggs or Gareth Bale and holds a ‘regular’ job
		To satisfy her passion and travels the world for an oval sphere

The earth was once flat and times are slowly changing
	And yet her best chance of making money as a player
		Is sports commercials with her raving dark chestnut hair

Post-scriptum:

The German goalies’ name is Almuth Schult
	Her shirt is not clean but so far she kept a clean sheet
		FIFA comprises more countries than the United Nations
	Whoever wins it’s a beautiful game not only for men
In a male world but for me the women raise the roof just the same

Contest: FIFA women’s World Cup

Test scraps between Black Caps and Stokesy's chaps


Leisurely walk around Lords non stop pop of champagne cork

Scorecard dork does chalk the first over from Will O’Rourke

Another flowering Kiwi tree who gets the ball to talk & fork

While towering style of Kyle with guile & wile gall fans gawk


Doff your hat to Matt who really is all that aficionados squawk

Smith another hawk with similar riff for this tiff swing will stalk

Serious talent apparent not transparent with delirious torque

Balk one last refrain from the reign of Kane the Kiwi bulwark


If it grips rips what pips seeing Glenn Phillips flips & fillips

Golden arm charm can disarm like when baby Joe in skips

With Kane masters and pastors of snips missing the slips

Nudges nurdles overcomes hurdles as fans lick their lips

Never ruffled by kerfuffles silky shuffles and wristy whips

Express bouncer nips & dips caress the ball off their hips

Finesse not largesse witness their prowess heavenly sips


Zach having been so cack defence so slack got the sack

No coming back picked from the pack Gay to have a crack

Not out of whack got the knack this season has got a stack

Trust plucky Ducky again gets lucky no vastly ghastly hack


Stokesy becomes like Wokesy bat & ball gets us off the rack 

Dirty Harry not shirty silly willy nilly hill billy flirty is like smack 

In Ashes dung Tongue among the flashes of changing tack

No Josh tosh stung with gung ho bolts flung stumps thwack  

Tongue climbs a rung with pace he brung others made us yack 

 
Golly after much flak jolly Ollie the wally again leads the attack

After scold behold in from the cold part of fold & in the black

Coz after Oz fires our tyres flat just old hat we need a new jack


If not too chatty no cheeky drag on sneaky f*g or fatty snack 

Hopefully no folly he will be fit on the track give us bit we lack

No off his trolley verbal volley Ollie could be return of the Mac

Premium Member The Thrill Is Gone

Used to run outside bundled up for winter.
Pulled my sled through snow to the hill where other
children slid with glee and our young hearts pounding.
Thrill of December.

Used to swing for hours in my day-time dreaming.
Played my records thinking of my Prince Charming.
Sang my love aloud in the woods to no one.
Thrill of my teen years.

Used to bike to town with my friends or sisters.
Ran and swam and walked to the park for snow cones.
Sports I played all day till the sun was setting.
Thrill of my summers.

Gone are firefly nights and my firework summers.
Thrills of childhood no longer hold enticement.
How I even dreamed while awake I wonder . . .
now that I’m older.
