A choirboy from Tupelo
Soon saw his fame grow,
From a gospel sound
To world-wide renown-
Ends suddenly in Memphis town.
A kingdom of the Gael
Lying well outside the Pale !
Subjects of an Ardri Lord
From Clare to Kerry
And Cork to Waterford
A powder puff moon
hangs in a languid sky
gathers stardust from the milky way
and airbrushes the faces of passing angels
In life we laugh
In death we cry
We say hello
We say goodbye
We’re born to live
Yet, we live to die

Trying to stop
the teardrops
about to fall,
and with a sigh,
she said;
I would, if I could
but I can't, so I won't.
Aldeburgh's George Crabbe
was clearly quite a lad
With inventive narrative verse so fine
used by Brittain in Peter Grimes
"No Surrender"
The party line
was thrown
a loop
no surrender

Heads pull from the sand
Now thinking they understand

Things they know nothing about!

a multitude of pretexts
the foretaste
of argument:
premise explored
ignorance isolated
then
exchanged
for
understanding
Kind hearts
Will
Always win the day
Because
There’s nothing bad about them
That
Anyone can ever say

Lame and beautiful
He walked like a prince
With his eternal fever
In love with starry night skies
Which glowed in his dark eyes
Across Vienna's old town
In a sewer underground,
They tracked down..Harry LIme,
A Third Man in a crime-
To music so sublime.
If
you’re perplexed
And
can’t decide
Just
let your heart
Be
your guide

Why
Is it that a cuckoo
Is
Locked up in a clock
While
Lunatics with guns
Are
Left to run amuck

Ferdinand Hodler had no self doubt
his topical art had much clout
He also loved the silhouette
narrative allegoryhus safe bet
Tusi zafar day tattay chukan walay fan ho,
Mein zafar day tattay chupan wala fan hun.
Note.Hun daso bohta wada fan kon ay Me..
I watch them as the conversation shifts, chattering chameleons, changing the shades of interpretation to suit their "narrative".
she didn't have a face like thunder
it was more overcast
like when you don't know
whether to put your washing
out on the line
Since
Happiness is just
A frame of mind
Change the way you think
And
You’ll be happy
All the time
WIZDUMBs BY JA 262
Happiness
Should be spread
As if it were, diseased
Then
Anyone infected
Would not be sick, but pleased
WIZDUMBs BY JA 282
Now that everything that was old,
Now is new,
It is as confusing as,
Living on the corner of,
Sunset Blvd.,
And Sunrise Ave.
Female Praying Mantas
Eat their male partner
But males, just won’t do it
Cause, they can’t live without her
