Poet Sir John Harrington
He tried to be a good Samaritan
He invented the water closet loo
To be able to stay indoors to poo

MY SAMARITAN - INK

“He’s drunk”. They passed by on the other side.
But I was ill and might not have survived.
She stayed until the ambulance arrived.
My Good Samaritan; I could have died.

He Had Been A Humanitarian

Had been a natural born humanitarian;
Never ate meat and was a vegetarian;
What a wonder;
Spell are under;
A great and gorgeous good Samaritan.

A guy was drunk in a bar
I offered to drive him home
He fell 5 times in the parking lot
So I couldn't leave him alone.

I got him home and he fell 4 more times
before we got to his stair
I said to his wife "Here's your husband"
She said "Yeah, but where is his wheelchair?"...

Love is unselfish; love seeks to do the Father's will 
There's no boasting in love, it has secret identity
Love is the Good Samaritan paying a stranger's bill.
Jesus Christ is Love; He forgave even His enemy.

An alm-timed good deed
got evilly rewarded
The saintly gesture, labor of love
was given a
perfidious payment

Death by dissimulation
uttered a bullet cry
Good Samaritan intentions
was given a
hot metal, cold evil eye

A warm welcoming, kind-hearted try
was given a
glowing halo goodbye...

The afternoon sun greeted me with a warm embrace.
The rays from this bright star,
They can’t deny me in this dreadful place.
A Good Samaritan came to brighten my day.
Not even this oppressive confinement,
Could keep my happiness away,
Because I’m content just to be me,
Even if I have to dance to the devil’s melody....

You all came in from the cold shivering
all dressed in red which is bewildering
you'd stay and hover
cause some clutter
but at least you all stopped quivering

Again found you at my kitchen sink
I thought perhaps you all wanted a drink
so I ran the tap water
not thinking it was slaughter
oh ladybugs the way you died just stinks!

The love of the universe
Cannot be destroyed
God's heart to people's wealth
Whose love helping people's health.

Beautiful flowers in the field
Let Good Samaritan flourish
Let people's love live today
For there's still cure for humanity.

I change my mind in time
Seeing kindness displayed everyday
How would I think food bittersweet
When life after all is really sweet....

Mirror, my friend, I ask, if you please.
"Am I kind?  generous?  one who meets needs?"
Why ask?  A stranger's hospitable deeds 
are worth far more than empty vanities.

The pregnant dream vs the naked existence.
The healthy belligerent vs sanguine invalid. 
The buoyant child vs the cavillous pensioner.
The all-giving African vs the all-recieving European.
The befriended neighbour vs the ostracized man.
The kaleidoscopic optimist vs bleak pessimist.
The raw truth vs the falsified lie.
The low-key good Samaritan vs the ostentatious donator.
The good vs the bad....

Keep technology
but bring back the old values
of those former years-
when love of God and country,
respect, pride, and honor ruled.

Bring back old values
of family, friends, church, school,
solid like they were-
with new tech and old values,
we'd have the best of both worlds.

The mailman frowned at the black snarling cat
He picked up his sack and smacked the air with a bat
But my baby is in there! The mama cat said.
The next time he swatted, he almost hit her head.

A good Samaritan dog had seen what was what.
He ran out and helped the mother, his name was McFutt.
You are such a good guy! She said. I am Mrs. McNally.,
Then she told all the other cats to leave him alone in the alley....

Good Samaritan
There once was time
Visitors would stream,
When a person’s health
Was like milk with cream.
Now, that milk is soured cream
No knock-on door no visitors stream.
There were many to wine and dine
Any place at any time,
Now, they’ve vanished into thin air
Only calls to say they are there.
Sometimes a good Samaritan
Will come by with true concern,
With a prayer he’d join the infirm
Leaving, but I’m not now alone....

I call them my angels of the freeway -

the three good Samaritans that I met.

Seeing me stranded, each stopped right away.

I call them my angels of the freeway.

Changing a tire for me, how kind were they!

Three times I’ve been rescued and I’ll not forget.

I call them my angels of the freeway -

the three good Samaritans that I met.

All alone she sat on the walkway
As passers by cast furtive glance her way

And briskly look the other way
Bringing no succor her way

She sat there any way
Staring into space with a look so faraway 

Waiting in vain all day
For  a good Samaritan to come her way

Has humanity no more empathy to display?
Love should look around without delay

To see her need and say 
Come into my abode and stay
For you are my sister in every way...
