Premium Member Fleas On Noah's Ark

Two fleas are jumpig
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
For warm nest looking.

Two fleas are dreaming
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
A warm nest enjoying.

Two fleas are arriving
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
At Ararat’s mountain.

Their trip is ending
Onboard of Noah’s Ark
And starts a novel jumping

Premium Member Onboard

Let's make sweet music, I'm onboard
I'll play the strings and strum the chords
Easy does it, nice and slow
One has to take one's time you know
It takes a while to make good songs
Sometimes it may take all night long
To get in sync and lock the groove
The best songs are the ones that move

Bored Bard

Boardroom Boredom, onBoard
Bordering unBound muse and
Bothering my over-bred mind
Bleating and Braying in me
Boring Beneath my attrium's Base
Brown abyss of bottomless breathes
Where Blue beams blondely
Beautifully veiled boredom
Booms and burst as Uncharged breeze blows
Tearing apart the 'E' in ME

Just a Kid With a Railway Set

It's a basic track layout just a circle with you as the central feature in the middle of it. My train does not travel anywhere - why should it? Don't care. Sometime though I imagine you onboard the loco with me, even though that model steam train has been discontinued for many years.

God's Redemption

As we're going through
A bumpy, jumpy, avenue 
Depending on our hullabaloo
With a burden, that is in pursue
God sends our way, blessings 
To make our load risings
A less required mounting 
O' thanks heaps, Dear Lord
For each passing day of life, onboard 
Forever and a day, untold 
Time without end, takes hold

national day

National day

25 of April Portugal's
national day
It so happened my ship, birthed that day
a night Lisbon didn't sleep
Great Jubilation
whores gave their wares for free
thieves didn't steal
and the bar owner splashed brandy.....
generously into your glass
I came back onboard five in the morn
waving a Portuguese banner

Premium Member If You Had To Have One Queen Song Played At Your Funeral, Which Would You Choose

i'd go for one vision
another colleague said hammer to fall
another said show must go on 
fat bottomed girls
but that's enough yakety yak from me
welcome onboard flight 4b7 with service 
from hong kong to san francisco 
we are currently third in line for take-off and 
are expected to be in the air in approximately 
seven minutes time

Premium Member Number Three: Earthrise

Astronaut William Anders's space photo,
Onboard Apollo 8 on Christmas Eve,
Nineteen sixty-eight, a bit of a show,
Influence nature, world-renown to be,
Taken with the moon as in the foreground,
And then with the earth as in the background.

Love In Twilight Age

Love in the twilight age
Is a ripe love
No longer about perfect 
But about giving a comfortable feeling 
To go back home.

Love is never not a respecter of age
It's just that it doesn't fit in the early stage
Some says it has still acid taste when over ripe
Nevertheless able to onboard the last trip
Though early or last but love is never late.

The Strangest Loopy Dream

quite a unique lobster had travelled to the Ancient past using the Antikythera mechanism somehow’
‘where upon this inquisitive bottom-feeder ‘being now onboard-some Kind of weird blue Ocean going vessel ,
Proceeded to Then drop ‘said device over board and back through the Spiralling wade of time ,
Destined eventually to be found by quite a unique lobster ????

Fades Time

time fades us all like old parchment, till it becomes personality time, the prettiest thorn mongst the roses wilt have you a laughing just fine Don it all comes down to the inner voice, your spirit onboard has the choice, to be a grumpy Mole, or enjoy being old, personality is the force, who rides upon your horse, where laughter doth unfold...

Premium Member Desperation's Undercurrent

The hurt is pooling in my throat

and to avert the watershed,
you build the dams I tolerate,
make my demands the stagnant moat
where if the bridge is drawn, I'll drown

So I hold on to stay afloat

Then, once I'm safely back onboard,
your gaze, a hazel gray garrote,
will take my breath away, instead

I tolerate the dams you build
for fear I'll find no other boat

Waiting For the Ferry

The water laps the ferry dock;
I keep my eyes upon the clock
For soon my chariot will arrive.
(We city people hate to drive!)

The schedule is accurate
And rarely strays the slightest bit.
I know that at 3:46
It will be here, so time for tix.

I open up the trusty app;
A few clicks later, it's a wrap.
I'll flash my phone and strut onboard;
A peaceful ride is my reward.

Premium Member Bull Moose Party of 1912

Teddy P. Roosevelt in 1912 feeling sassy, hale and hearty,
Promptly formed a wonderful new impressive political party.
Women suffrage was on the agenda along with primary direct,
Many educated women jumped onboard, his agenda to inspect.
Yet would not get the vote for decades, no matter how clever and arty,
It was called by many supporters and friends the happy Bull Moose Party.

Premium Member Minimums

“Minimums”, 
the onboard computer announces.
A couple of hundred feet of air left between 
runway and plane.

For pilots, decision time.

Land, 
or abort, go around.

Commit,
or not.

Kudos to them.
They almost always make 
the right decision.

Too often, it feels like my minimums 
are at 100,000 feet.

All the time in the world.
 
And I still 
get it wrong. 

And there’s no going around.

Looking Ahead

Resolutions should give voice to hope
when reason gets beyond all the trope.
Reckoning ahead to energize
I resolve to get more exercise:

       physical fitness
       mental alertness
       spiritual, more praying
       social, more playing
       emotional, less stress

Looking inward to 2-0-2-2.
a more intentional me for You
Resolutions help us get onboard
to glorify our Almighty Lord.

Desquamate

DESQUAMATE

desquamate they say
is to shed the outer layer of skins,
but how often do we
take onboard others opinions,
said,
wrote,
expressed,
in haste,
disgust,
in hateful scorn,
and then we become
owners of a thin skin,
as barbs penetrate
and strip away,
our vulnerabilities of worth,
however with praise,
and a raising up of one
an overcoat of hope
becomes our protective membrane.

Moonlight Romance

Moonlight Romance 

It was in Peru
And the moon was full
Working long hours, I went early 
To bed and didn`t see the moon that often
I had gone ashore where I met Maria in a bar
We walked down to the beach 
Sat on an upturned rowing boat looking at Luna
Naturally, we made love on satin sand
Slept entwined 

She walked back to the bar I walked onboard
Happy and thinking how wonderful life was
Five days later I needed an injection of penicillin.

The Sexist Airline Passenger

The Sexist Airline Passenger

By Elton Camp

The passengers boarded for the flight
To one man it didn’t seem quite right

In the pilot’s seat a woman sat
“Hey I don’t know about that!”

“Onboard I will not remain
If a woman flies this plane.”

With utter scorn, another man said
“Get such stuff out of your head”

“Ideas like that are so out of date.
To hear such talk, I sure do hate!”

“She can keep this plane on track.
It’s not like she’ll need to back!”

Is There Such a Thing As Too Many Crumpets Just a Bit of Fun

1 crumpet. 2crumpet 3crumpet, 4
You no you shouldn't eat, a single crumpet more
Then there's crumpets 5, 6 then your at 7 crumpets more 
Soon the 8th crumpet is also onboard 
Apparently the 9th crumpet didn't appear although the truth about that is a little unclear, 
By the 10th crumpet you realise that you've got a 10 crumpet problem,
But it's ok the secrets safe, because only the toaster truly knows, 
And he's been warned, to keep quiet or out comes the plug and off he goes!
