Long Tonne Poems

You know when I think about it now and what I have to do,
a lot of you folk out there would have a bit of envy too;
you see I'm a 'lacky' for a vet, well...

Since there was no stone to close Jesus’ death tomb
According to modern Christian myth, it had vanished,
But as of the Gospel version of this story, boom,
In Luke 24:2 the stone was rolled away - astonished?

I see we are open again.
It’s time to welcome old friends.
The homely, the lonely, 
they who want only
to have somewhere to place their rear ends. 

The people I bear are so glad.
The stories I hear...

SINLESS EYES


Nine solid months unto her womb is he,
breathing and heartbeat they do as one.
Carrying him safely, his husband sees,
providing food and money his daily home run

What is the purpose of life?
Can't even keep your wife!
Then there's holding a job.
Are you really that much of a kxxb

Life is surely about family
Why can't it be for me
Am I that screwed up?
Over floweth...

Wiltshire is a lovely place too be
A county with plenty of history
Neolithic rocks from north to south
You can even see a white horses mouth

With walks over undulating ground
Find the mystery of the giants mound 
You...

frail and afraid to be forgotten, i feel old and worn,
too many times, iv had my mere being torn,
forgive me if i will not reason,
it feels as if everything is treason,

I judge men by the colour of their teeth,
And by the colours of their teeth I group them:
The Whites we have,
The Blacks we have, 
The Browns we have,
And the Yellows too.

Life we all start as...

Getting of a London bus 
On a sweltering day in June
Trying not to swear or cuss -
I knew I’d be home soon. 

The shopping bags were heavy 
They seemed to weigh a tonne, 
But I...

Atomic payback made impact dramatically 
Physics split minute energy into mammoth 
Allied forces warned Hiroshima, Nagasaki
Destroyer of worlds, Now I become death

Military master, Japan, thought threat outrageous 
Devastation loomed, four tonne 'Boy' understated 
Captain William...

She had a bit of a problem
Of which she was reluctant to disclose
Her wardrobe was full to overflowing
With a wild array of clothes

She justified this behaviour
By insisting it was cheap stuff
Purchased from the op shops
She...

On a recent Monday,
at 
an ice cream parlor
I found 
chunky pieces of clay,
in my
olde fashion sundae,
that weighed
like a tonne of bricks.
As I excavated
with my wooden spoon
I found crumbs 
of an asphalt driveway
with a blond toupee
and...

Beneath the fabled, innocent and polished mind
In a tinderbox wrapped up by an askant beldam’s hand
Above an unmarked grave that is welcoming, rather kind
A pair of eyes noticed a hue in the dunes of white...

Our eyes can’t hide
What a smile tries to cover inside
We drop to our knees to beg
On our knees we fall to wed
When you lose someone
Your half is gone, a burden comes worth a tonne
In the...

My truck is almost full
of birds , that have risked
their last migration
for a journey to the planet mercury.
So fell from the sky 
a ton of fried chickens.
I won't have to swing my fork
in the stars,...

I'm sad to see the nature,
which is now in a torture.
 It's bad for our future,
to spoil the beautiful nature.

 The nature has a tree,
which can be planted for free.
 But when we are free,

We cousins looked forward to our summer holidays which were full of fun
Our barbaric guffaws were louder than the joys of any battle won
One was always on the run while another chased him with a...

A knife stab on a man
Hurts as much on a kid

He has to remain mum
A brave face to cede

A woman on his side, on the other a son
Two souls to shield, emotions never freed

He has...

The billycart we made, with pride in our hands,
We made with a juvenile fun,
Using 4b2 planks, and big iron wheels,
It weighed somewhere near to a tonne,

For the farm’s eroded driveway, both steep and direct,
Covered in...

In a 40 tonne steal vessel
You'd think your safe
But the waves are hassle 
Higher than the empire state
Tossing us around,
Like a childs play thing 
Up high then suddenly down
Left to right like a swing
Hanging on...

"Do what you want son". 
Five words that can feel like a metric tonne. 
Or keep you grounded through electric fun. 
Eject, discard and reload the magazine of your advice gun, cause' at the minute,...
