Premium MemberHuman Nature

Love, nurture – abandon, disown...

Love, nurture – beat, rape, murder...

Love, nurture – build cities, blow them apart...

Love, nurture – despise, hate...

Love, nurture – rip young from their own wombs 
                          for convenience and saleable body-parts....

Love, nurture – pray to a god that will forgive any snafu...

Love, nurture – God started with smaller creatures, and continued
                         to fail upwards....

Love, nurture – make a hell of one's world, then hide in politics, sports
                          music, theater, and poetry. 

Small wonder many prefer dogs, cats, and stamp collecting....

Premium MemberLets Win the Racquetball Tournament

Let’s win the racquetball tournament Carlie said.
What she meant was “let ME win the racquetball tournament”.
My girl-next-door-charms usually hides my super competitive spirit.
This time was like all of the others.
When I won she stopped speaking to me.
No big loss.

Premium MemberWhy Cant I Die

She heard the screeching of the tires 
And she knew she had pulled right in front of this car.
She shut her eyes, waiting for the crash.
Her next thought was her best friend.
It was her birthday.
I am dying on Marianne’s birthday! Crap!

The crash never came.
She looked to her right.
The sports car had left his tires all over the road.
Smoke was coming out from under his car.
She could not see the driver. 
His windows were too darkly tinted.

She continued through the intersection.
This was her fifth car wreck where she expected to be dead.
Her heart was beating fast.
Just like the other times.
Why can’t I die? She asked God.
I deserved to.
But the answer is yet to come.

Premium MemberGoodbye and Farewell

Is it pure greed that motivates them
Or could it be that they're insecure
That they are lost without it...
Do they really think anyone cares
about them 'going back to work'

Do they value publicity, fame
adulation and little boys' games
so highly that they're willing
to risk their very lives...

All these filthy-rich sports stars 
can disappear tomorrow and I,
a former sports fan fanatic,
would cheer that development

Let them get real for a change
The people in this country are
fighting for our lives. We
don't give a hoot about
professional sports anymore

Goodbye, Labron James!
Goodbye, James Harden!
Goodbye, Tom Brady!
Goodbye, Bryce Harper
Farewell and good riddance!


Premium MemberPlayed For Fun

April and the clocks forward spring,our cricket practice gets in full swing.Nets to 
untangle from their poles,players to call and enrol.Gang mowers to grease and 
oil,the team kit-bag to disembroil.Green stained pads to whiten bright,fixture lists 
to expedite.Mend the sight screen's rickety panels,coax another season from my 
flannels.Wash and iron the umpire's coats,the score-box to creosote.Tea urns to 
scour,crockery to rinse and clean..a team captain's tasks routine,and 
unseen.Cricketers good,indifferent,unsung,across this land in a timeless sport 
played for fun.

Premium MemberTradition & Rituals

On manicured outfields seeded and sown,the middle rolled and closely 
mown.End to end,wicket to wicket the languid tempo of village cricket.By fields 
enclosed with sheep in flocks,wooden pavilions and rickety score-box.Around the 
boundary rope,ambitions ,high living in hope.Runs came from cut and glide as 
players flag in the fielding side.The rivals taking guard after tea,a run a 
minute,with inhibitions free.Hit wicket,lbw and run-out the wickets fell as the fast 
bowler ended the match in his second spell.

Premium MemberThe Hack

Out of the yard,daughter Bev and me,on a hot summer day of Eighty-three.Hastoe 
to Cadsden,there and back,eight hours in the saddle..for our first all-day 
hack.Onto the canter path,down to Paines End,through Fox Lane our route did 
wend.Into a copse ,missing branches low,keeping the pace to an even flow.Up to 
Dunsmore,past the Black Horse,via Little Hampden we followed the course.Past 
Chequers and into Pondswood,down the hill to reach the pub.
Tethered the horses to the garden trees,ordered a ploughmans,with pickle and 
cheese.Feet up awhile for a long rest,enjoying a pint of the landlord's best.
Into the saddle,no time to laze,off at a canter in the heat haze.Back in Hastoe as 
the clock struck four,to stack the tack on the stable door.
