Body Found In Creek
The body was found on Sunday.
The body was floating down the creek
From Medicine Dam to Cambridge.
The person may have committed suicide.
The person’s name has not been released....

Life Sentence

 American picked up at Cambridge, 
 Astonishedly could not explain it.
 Was he guilty?  No doubt.
 He ran off at the mouth,
 And utterly killed the King's English....

"See every single outfit
Of the Duchess of Cambridge."
Am I alone in thinking
This does not pass for news?

Every single... no, we mustn't miss it.
Every single outfit we must see.

To the Class of 97 At Cambridge High School
The fun we had,formulated individualism 
We had lots of those
The focus we had,formulated maturity
We achieved it
What a unique class
The endless laughter
Lead to the enjoyment of the year
The naughtiness 
Lead to the togetherness 
A class to be remembered...

Always knew Williams first name is Brian;
Best broadcaster on air  and no denying;
Both you and me,
Never miss MSNBC;
Expose Trump how hard is always trying.

Premium Member George Alexander Louis
An announcement from the palace
a baby for Wills and Kate
it's a little baby boy
a future head of state

Everybody was in suspense
what's his name to be
as heir to the throne
a King one day you'll see

As Prince George of Cambridge
titled in the royal line
George Alexander Louis
suits just fine

Cambridge Square
Ah wondering soul you are, by
far so aloof, and unjoined.

From a distance, I find you a
mystery inside a mystery.

Unsure you are of roads you
have ran down, and found
too many that have lost
their way..

Ah wanderer, never give up
the good fight, stay clear
of mind, you will see, and
have all that is wonderous unfold
for you....

Daffodils At Thriplow
I saw Thriplow in its merriment
Vintage cars borrowed from Cambridge
and an abundance of folk singers
with strobes of defiant daffodils
food for the feasties
Morris Dancers sermonising past practice
and mud galore for the land lugger

wannabe grandad Rockabilly singers
and Betty Boothroyds cottage on display
St Johns Ambulance eagerly waiting patrons
Dray horses carrying wagons
This was an  experience to enjoy...

La Comedia
She:
Sat on eggs.
Ate eggs.
She was a
cannibal.
A canibol.
A canibal.

Pottery classes,
her majesty acquired.
from thrones
onto bridges
she built.
Stones
stacked stones
spelling stones
she built.

He: 
Paleo
lithic
Ph.D drug lord.
From Cambridge.
Books ((WARNING!))
are USED!

Wrote books
about people,
about people 
he wrote.
Studied a life,
Not a love.
He wrote.
A person upon
person he wrote....

Idol
Idol is there seated plotting
cowrie shells baptized dollars
cow-hide suffocated with air
comfort women in their best
Cambridge fraternity with honors
commander with his platoons
sky-men in their spaceships
class room wizards with sleepy eye
Champagne , coca cola, carrots

These are the dying gods
that relax on high thrones
intoxicate conscience
roll away the Bible, Quran
and call on humanity
worship me, me, me alone
my kingdom I’ll give to you...

Mzuzu Academy
All started small
But soon began to grow
Our academics and sports
Shaped us all

All started small
But soon began to flow
Our peace and unity
Shaped us all

All started small
But soon began to score
Our soccer team
Shaped us all

All started small 
But soon began to show
Our volleyball championship
Shaped us all

All started small
But soon on the go
Our new realized athlete
Shaped us all

All stated small
But soon approach its goal
Our Cambridge results
Shaped us all....

Third Millenium London
St Paul’s gazes out over the modernising City
Fearful of the vicious Shard
The Abbey and Houses of Parliament
Keep Westminster alive
But now under the gaze of a watchful Eye
The hustle of the restless Oxford Street
Is matched by the bustle of Soho
The British Museum still reigns supreme in Bloomsbury
Despite constant tourist invasion
On the river the Cutty Sark is rehabilitated
Tower Bridge still opens
The Boat Race can be seen every year and Cambridge can win...
