Bordeaux Ben

Bordeaux Ben just loved red wine,
Would only drink when dining fine,
Didn't drink beer, wouldn't drink gin,
Mum said, alchohol at home was a sin,
So he ate at restaurants all the time.

We know that the English are rightly vexed

Witty Founding Father Ben Franklin

Gave his contemporaries many a grin.

Although he wanted the turkey to be our national bird,

Fortunately John Adam’s “eagle” had the final word.

Big Ben - Hymnal Octave

The tower’s high with striking chime
its clangor resonates.
With face of time now widely seen
clock’s scene thus viewed dictates.
Its dial white looks free of grime
new cleaning time awaits .
Loud presence yea with polished sheen
our day it regulates

Little Benny Ben

Little Benny Ben told Roald Amundsen
                     Let's go to South Pole with my pretty hen
                               The hen was very stocky
                           Came to Ben with gait low-key
                          Asked for a diary and a gel pen

Ben

The temperate dead escape their wait
God, make better dreams of their last
Sleeping men have no past
But us
Our play, our anger
In a fantasy agreed
Unspoilt and kind
A happy journey, a martyr of my happiness,
Forever the longest summers
Fields keep their prints
Your nest too high for cloud
