George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw,
A critic with a vein of comedy and language, quite raw;
He wrote in a movable shack, he liked photography now and then,
Ladies man, died at 94, cremated and planted in his garden.

Pig Wrestling

NEVER WRESTLE WITH A PIG 
                           YOU BOTH GET DIRTY
                                                     AND THE PIG ENJOYS IT.*

Extrapolate

When we drink, we get drunk. 
When we get drunk, we fall 
Asleep. When we fall a—
sleep, we commit no sin—
When we commit no sin,
we go to heaven. So—



Adapted from a bon mot of
George Bernard Shaw

Prose Is Boring

I do not know what I think until I write it.
~ George Bernard Shaw ~
.

To write or not to write - that is the question.
Descartes said that he exists because of thinking.
To write or write in rhymes is so close.
So, 'thinking', in my case, won't be in prose.

George Bernard Shaw

Back foot Irishman
who remembers his tripe 
Major Barbara n Androcles and the lion 
are we all asleep !

Just a man of his time 
like a five minute pop star
friend of nancy boy Bosie Douglas
bringing poor Oscar down

Better self love than grovelling in the dirt
how can any real man or woman dislike Shakespeare
friend of Michael IRA Collins
Back foot Irishman

My Mother, My Strength

You are no longer here, but live on in me. You who stood up for everyone, so fearless were you! Like George Bernard Shaw, who said: " You  see things the way they are,    and say, why?    But I dream things that never were!    And I ask why not? It was you, Mother who created the fearless soul in me! Becoming a poet who asks questions of life, poetry and reality, with fearless audacity! Love evermore, Panagiota 5/10/2019 12:00 pm PST

George Bernard Shaw

George Bernard Shaw,
A critic with a vein for comedy and language quite raw;
He wrote in a movable shack and liked photography now and then,
A ladies man who died at 94, cremated and planted in his garden.
