ARRESTED NATHAN AND ALAN---
Nathan never praises
Because of bad feelings
Just jumps in/out of jail
Arrested along with Alan
And both brazen bad guys

She admired him, worshiped him, every hour, every day
Never found fault with him, at home, work or play
Felt herself ever-so-lucky to be his lawful wife
Even during moments of matrimonial strife
On Sabbath she prepared his favorite delicacies and treats
The house sparkled and shined---'twas Cinderella-sweet
You saw them walking together, arms locked, hand-in-hand
Their harmonious coupling inspiring today's wedding bands
Near the end her Yudi stumbled; he landed squarely on his head
She thanked the Good Lord that he was injured badly, not dead
She cared for him, nursed him, fed him and dressed him
Round the clock dedication, her feelings caressed him
When the end came, she sighed a deep sigh, wept uncontrollably
For the man in her life, whom she'd given all of herself devotedly
Nathan played pro-rugby for the Glasgow Warriors,
Until he was seventeen when he had a motorbike crash,
Which broke thirty bones in has body, medical superiors,
Said he may die, but he battled and is paralysed brash.
He took up wheelchair basketball and played successfully,
For the Lothian Phoenix club, and now he daily practices,
Archery at Edinburgh Uni in their sporting facility, hopefully,
To win at Rio, because he’s got credentials and analysis.
He took home a silver medal at the games in Fazza, Dubai,
At the International Para Championship, and then following,
He achieved second place, and silver, also in 2016, bligh,
At the European Para Championship in France, his aiming.
Beneath the trees I swung so free...
How can nature's giants give such roar
The last protectors I ever saw
Their sway, unity to this day
But leaves fall as adults betray
Climbing high and scoping bark
I think back not to a cancer of my park
I urge to be in touch of myself and the laughing
To purge my inner such, away the stealth and trespassing
Til then, this tree will sway while I do hum
The beat of the beaten, the beat the heart drum
Building up to these woody beasts roar
The experience closes my eyes for all more
A crush and a chill from the beautiful and the breeze
Launched in crazed motion to my smile from knee
O a wonder is a world
Where 10 years a boy was a cancer unfurled
The car, his face and the laughing at the end
So allow me a moment to depend...
...On my sweet giants, their sway, their bend
To look up and up, I shall mend
Nathan the Giant
A little giant he became discarded because of his age
Surrendered to a cold steel cage
His warm soft bed traded for a dog pound
Confined in fear his bellows abound
Trying to drown out the growling sounds
Standing tall upon his stubby legs
Take me home he begs
This little Dachshund a Giant he became
Hoping to once again claim a family name
She wondered in looking for a companion
Feeling the cold crates and tearing
I want to capture all of them so Dearing
But one caught her sight, as he stood so austere
He is the one sent to me from above
She knew of his journey through fearful times
So connected was she as she traveled same signs
She cradled him daily and promised this godsend
That together they would be forever friends
He returned to safety and warmth in his new home
No need for a bed for hers was his dome
Together their lonely spirits were no more
For this little one gave her love evermore
The once empty lives became an old adventure
Nathan the Dachshund became her little giant treasure

Nathan
He is the most beautiful boy in the world
My boy is most gentle and kind
My boy needs to wear a brace for his back
My boy may need surgery if the brace fails
My boy is most gentle and kind
My boy’s name is Nathan and he is autistic
My boy may need surgery if the brace fails
My boy may not know what’s happening to him
My boy’s name is Nathan and he is autistic
My boy needs to wear a brace for his back
My boy may not know what’s happening to him
He is the most beautiful boy in the world
Between you and I
Nothing has changed
Really.....
These confines we share
Brothers too
Columns and columns
Of phallic glass totums
Piercing the freedoms above
Business is a rapist fiend
Of love
The demonized heavens.
Who am I to judge brother?
I chose to live here
As the noose was slipped 'round Nathan Hale's neck he uttered this exclamation:
"I regret that I have but one life to give for my nation!"
But to his executioner he whispered an aside and had this to say:
"Between you and me, I'd just as soon be fishin' on Nantuckett Bay!"

Placed No. 3 in PD'S "Battle Of The Clerihew" Contest - January 2012
... He was one of the good ones
The best of the best.
He had gone into danger
At his nation’s request.
He was not there to fight
Only there to rebuild.
Too young, and too good
And too brave to be killed.
He is one of too many
Who’ve gone to Iraq
To help protect freedom
But will not be back.
His parents are proud
To have raised such a one;
A beautiful, dutiful
Wonderful son.
His friends are in tears,
Their loss is immense,
That he’s not coming home
Just doesn’t make sense.
Some are spared some are taken.
God only knows why.
He took our love with him
When his turn to die.

Nathan ate a cigarrett, that silly poop
placed it on his lips and soon he shouted "WOOP!"
aparently he wasn't paying any attention to it
didn't seem to realise that the end in his mouth was lit
Tattered jeans comfort
Morning mental haze
Sensual pulses stimulate
Smells don't deter
Sex, food and laughter
Keep it simply rational
For Nathan's contest--Thanks for the inspiration today.
He was one of the good ones,
The best of the best.
He had gone into danger
At his nation's request.
He was not there to fight
Only there to rebuild;
Too young and too good
And too brave to be killed.
He is one of too many
Who've gone to Iraq
To help protect freedom
But will not be back.
His parents are proud
To have raised such a one;
A beautiful, dutiful,
Courageous son.
His loved ones are in tears.
Their loss is immense.
That he's not coming back
Just doesn't make sense.
Some are spared, some are taken,
God only knows why.
He took our love with him
When his turn to die.
Placed no. 1
Children sing all day
Hurray, hurray Father's Day
We love you Daddy!

Kiss Challenge
Taking the ice cubes, from the tray
I coated your lips, with mineral spray
Then lemon squeezed, for a taste of zing
Then lightly froze, the opening
Tracing the corners, and laugh lines blessed
I kissed your lips, of happiness
Tender, succulent, passionate lips
Pulling at my loins, with tender sips
Sucking each, until they swell
Then freezing again, to ensure the spell
Next I tickle, the skin around
With tongue, I dance inside the frown
Resisting more…………….
I break away
To tempt you love, another day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
great way to break a writers block, think pink
On January 5th 1992,
God whispered in Nathan’s ear.
Oh, it seems like yesterday,
But it’s been seventeen years.
God came into the hospital,
And clutched him to Thy chest.
To accompany his little soul,
Onto his heavenly quest.
Before he parted earth,
And left for the above.
He felt his father’s warmth,
And heard his mother’s love.
And after all this sadness,
A place in heaven is our reward.
For Nathan is safe and sound,
Up with the Lord of Lords.
Though he left you as an infant,
Up in heaven he has grown.
For today’s the anniversary,
That God called Nathan home.
