Whimsical & topsy-turvy
A partnership of mirth & hilarity
William,dramatist with much to say

With light opera,they made their pay.

With your kiss,
       after being  simple man.
       I will become king ...
       Without your kiss,
       I became a frog without
        kingdom ... what else
        I will be ...! ?

BY   GILBERT MAPENGO MWANGUKU

Desperate and destitute 
Far from your heart
Though I can feel it 
Beating and bleeding love 
Like water from a broken pipe
Laid underneath
Indeed great in need
As we cope up with times
The long distance killing harder
Emotions overflowing 
Romances pending
Longing and highly anticipating 
For the day we bond...

Mister Gilbert Arenas tweeted that 'no one will care'
  if Nikola Jokic, two-time NBA MVP at 24, becomes the heir
    to players like Michael Jordan, who played with some flair

  'Jokic's not cool enough,' says this Mr. Gilbert Arenas
  Well then, Mr. NO MVP OR TITLE EVER WON ~
    You can just go and stroke your pen...(al thing) for us...

Smith-Gilbert trails — trellises of Georgia roses, the piney scent of conifers, plentiful perennials, the shady pond with splashing koi, the mulberry bowl, hand in hand — my grandson and I.

amid faerie garden
and bonsai forest —
buzz of coneflowers

Antonio a tenor's ring,
in the bathroom he would sing
Gilbert and Sullivan was his thing,
oft he'd sound this manly zing,
in the bathroom he would: sing!
all his music he would bring,
oft he'd sound; this manly zing!
the kitchen staff could hear him sing,
all his; music he would bring.
Gilbert and Sullivan was his thing?
the kitchen staff could. Hear him sing!
Antonio: a tenor's ring....

A cabin in the woods, just you and I
Big white fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky
The morning lasts all day, the clock is standing still
The fireplace is roaring, removing any chill
A big, soft cozy bed, fresh coffee in the cup
A homemade woolen afghan, in it we're snuggled up 
With books to read and a guitar to play, this scene is one of bliss
And as long as I'm with you it can't get better than this...

Gilbert Bright makes the right noise,
For free drinks magical voice,
At a pub each guy his choice,
Hotel Managers: his boys!

You think you can booze, just poise,
About your talents ‘No Noise’;
Glass for you in a glad voice
Would up the low spirit buoy
Drinkers turn sailors: “Ahoy!” 
Gilbert Bright and Friends sailing, 
Bright-promoting song selling:
“For Bright in the Lord rejoice 
And over his kind wife: Joyce!”...

B y Gilbert Mapengo Mwanguku

Let the river flow 
And wash away the memory lane
For if you go with it to the future
You will end up stuck in regret

Dreams are dreams
But with hope dreams are visions
And failure becomes a source of knowledge
When you can’t figure out light in a mist of darkness

Let it go, let it go
Deduce the pain and relieve your soul
Let it fly away a million miles
And let a deep sigh bring you again smiles...
