SOUNDS FISHY
In this recent competition I was number one
And they confirmed officially that I had won
But I actually heard from entrant number two
And she was also told that she had won too
I do wonder what are organisers really for
So few entrants, as there were only four
The prize was a Scottish holiday up in Fife
Not for the full seven days, but only five
I requested if they could extend it to eight
But I never made it there, something I ate
a blessing in disguise
questions in the mind
don't have answered
in the lips of lies
the heart of the poor
got too many questions
what about our life's
what about our rights
what about freedom
what about our children
what about our lands
are we still save
a blessing in disguise
life is a free zone
but now am sorry
is turn to a game
the survival is no longer
the fittest
instead the game organisers
are
but what has a beginning
has an end
except from God
a blessing in disguise
i have never seen
an empire last forever
either i heard of one
in power for ever
history proves it
and now it we are
living in it reality
i see the signs of
the time with an
alarm of distruction
i see the Powerful
stargarllin to maintain
it stand
i see the corner stone
stepping up while
it Clark the Piller's
of lies
a blessing in disguise
we are the victims
about to be the hero
we are the ones
that bear the pains
of greed
our life are a provocation
to humanity
so why at the end
we will not rise
for long we are have been
at the bottom of life
so if destiny exist
it must be
a blessing in disguise
A French party primary vote cast doubt
On whether the organisers could count.
Shares of the vote were shown
Before the turn-out was known,
Which is proof of a mathematical rout.
And of that not a shadow of doubt !
(No fake news here. Refers to the presidential primary, first round, by France’s Parti Socialist on January 20. Run off on Jan. 27)
Nigel is Britain’s most successful boccia player,
Having won eight major titles at the Worlds, Paras,
And so spoke out when Rio’s organisers, clever,
Refused to televise boccia’s intriguing blethers.
He says that boccia sports people need to get,
“our foot in the door” of live television coverage:
“I was disappointed in London [that] we didn’t get,
the media attention other sports did,” sacrilege,
which is frustrating because we [do] really want to,
showcase our sport. It’s very easy for me to say
boccia is fantastic. It’s brilliant, but unless [you know],
other people can get access to it, [okay, make way],
through the media, the wider audience are not,
going to get to know about boccia [sport straight].”
He refuses to retire so that he can get and pot,
“more publicity for the athletes in future.” Wait.
Born on 22nd May 1964 he’s an experienced man,
And won in Sydney 2000 a gold for the individual,
In Portugal 2002 two golds, Brazil 2006 he did can,
A bronze, then gold, silver in Beijing, he did angle.
I’ve finally hit the big time
I’m going to be on the stage
Reading one of my poems
I’m sure to be all the rage
I enquired about my dressing room
Would it have a gold star on the door
With champagne and flowers to greet me
(I’ve read about diva’s before)
You can imagine my disappointment
When I was shown to the ladies loo
Not enough room to swing a cat
And it stinks of wee and pooh!
On 20th May I will be performing one of my funny poems at a local charity event to raise awareness and money for Parkinson’s disease – this poem came about after chatting with one of the organisers
