A lovely Llama called Lin
Got her head stuck in a bin
She gave a shy yelp
We all dashed to help
And tended the cut on her chin

She’s got such a pretty white coat
It’s much softer than that...

Coinneach Odhar
The future in his sight
In the eye of his rounded stone
His visions became right
 
Predictions he made
On Seaforth lands
At Brahan Castle
In this shire of grand
 
One day ships will sail round the back of...

There's a pesky mosquito hoverin' around our ears
If he keeps it up he'll soon be splattered in smears
T-Buzz tries to draw our blood

At his elbow

Oh how awful that folks feel so glum
Many now call...

I don't want a flimsy daisy chain love
one the slightest breeze will sever apart
Their blooms are as pure as a turtle dove
I won't play childish games with my heart

Plucking flower petals, I would never do

Sutherland No More – A Proclamation

Sutherland Springs from the pages of my media feed,
A story of guns, grief and the need, for no more.
Sutherland no more.
The innocent and the free sitting in their Sunday Pews,

I’ve watched the sun rise in Angkor Wat
The beauty in Santorini will not be forgot 
Mount Bromo was a sight worthy to behold 
Cape Town did shine so bright and so bold

Not even an "Amen"


Babies cried, children bled
mother's fell, families splintered,
hymns ended, bibles held

Nightmares became 
not something to wake up from,
