From Plymouth Rock to the Golden Gate
Old World religions have fostered hate
With no "brother" fuss
Just "them against us"
And still no sign their hate will abate
There once was a lad named Cy Milgram
A regular cool and hip pilgrim --
He saw Plymouth 'Rock'
Said, "Fast forward the clock!" --
Played Jimi Hendrix ~ nearly killed 'em
Playing bowls, Sir Francis Drake
on Plymouth Hoe did ages take
for the game proved that much harder
than beating the Armada

Stop your balderdash and poppycock
You're the biggest windbag on the block
Everything that you've said
Must have gone to your head
Cuz your bean's the size of Plymouth Rock
The locals’ boats all gathered round;
Napoleon was in The Sound
On board Bellerophon.
Two guardships kept the crowds at bay;
The Emperor was on his way
To exile, freedom gone.
Jack Horne for Dr Ram’s Tail Rhyme contest
The town of Plymouth has a rock.
Each buckled shoe must have its sock.
Each open door must first be shut,
and this bolt needs no other nut.
Just as all these things are true,
This ardent "me" must have a "you".
Authenticity,
Does the word ring true
Does it call from the outside
Or the inside of you
Authenticity,
Your voice renewed
Zero-sum once committed
Zero-sum payment due
(Barnes & Noble: Plymouth Meeting Pa: January, 2016)
Not cute or in genre,
in tune or in tone
The message drives forward,
the muse casting stones
Untimely, eternal,
a voice speaking fast
My pen now a torch
—the darkness is past
(Barnes & Noble Plymouth Meeting Pa: January, 2016)
Jack
Husband, son, friend, colleague
Son of Dawn and Des
Lover of Sue, Shakespeare and opera
Who feels passion, amusement and excitement
Who fears bereavement, bedbugs and rejection
Who would like to see a ghost, a UFO and aliens
Resident of Plymouth, England

for Carol's contest
snowflakes falling soon
precipitation a hop
away from ‘morrow
goosebumps like ice under sheets
might wear my sweater to sleep

An old man in Plymouth with a set of false teeth
Was eating a piece of tough meat on Christmas feast
When he ate, his dentures with the meat fell off his mouth
His dog waiting below gobbled it and hastily ran south!

Far far away there's green flash
lit chalkboard Plymouth Rock
so radical fingernail
etching screeching noise
Far away fingers hands wipe away the blood
Cleansing the board flash in green
Fingernails so radical
Etching screeching noise

The Lord says you must attend church
So no child is left in the lurch
Despite the weather
A strap of leather
Will work just as well as the birch*
* The Mayflower pilgrims came to
Plymouth so they could enjoy the
freedom to fine, humiliate, torture,
and "purify" any and all who did not
adhere to their beliefs. Trump believes
that attitude made America great.
Quarry mine in the presents of His glory
Rocky mountain are the stairwell to the heaven
Key lime pie to the sky
Green light deep dark world
This be the story
Tumbleweed embracing Plymouth Rock laden
Sparkle wild huckleberry flies
The sparrow tours
I repented soul changed in mid Glory
Spirit risen rises to the Holy of Holies

Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower
As sails made the most of the breeze
Longed to make home in a brave new land
Enduring the most vicious seas
Finally, anchored they ‘trod’ Plymouth rock
And not one was in a bikini
Conflict with locals would rage on and on
Eventually there would be Chablis
* I'm a vegetarian, so this second limerick is not to be taken literally.
Whether or not you live in the States,
to my poet friends, wrought by the Fates,
I sure would like to convey,
a happy Thanksgiving Day,
to everyone, and my Australian mates.
Did they really land on Plymouth rock,
and when they hit it, was it a shock?
I don't know about you,
but I can't wait til two.
I want my turkey* at one o'clock.
in an unfortunate circumstance
full moon glacier kingo bulova green
With envy lazy lizard magenta
Sea serpent stepping stones aplenty
Quarry dawns foggy harbor rolling hilll
an unfortunate circumstance
Looking glass boundary
Waters Plymouth Rock tornadoes
Cookie crumbles melted ice cream soda
banana splits at the deep end
Such an anomaly an unfortunate circumstance?

See the U S A
Drive a Toyota today
Remember when it was just General Motors
Ford
Dodge, Chryslers, Lozier's??
What's the matter with driving a Yugo?
And does anyone manually roll down their windows
Impala then Caprice then Impala again
Demon Plymouth, Mustang
Audi be driving Honda, Miss ebute she??
Cadillac across the railroad tracks
Dodge Ram truck stuck on the railroad tracks
Auto driven diesel fueled electric
Hon
da!!

A Day of Thanksgiving
A
day of
Thanksgiving
and holiday
is celebrated
and observed on the fourth
Thursday of November in
the United States to honor
the Pilgrims, who colonized Plymouth,
Massachusetts in sixteen twenty-one.
***
Note: Thanksgiving Day became a federal holiday in 1863 during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865), the 16th POTUS who served from 1861 until his assassination in 1865.
In 1588 Sir Francis Drake,
over a game of bowls, his time he did take.
Saying I’ll play my game before England’s fate.
So the Spanish will just have to wait!
There once was a young sailor named Drake,
who some thought was a bit of a flake.
On Plymouth Hoe he stood
while playing with his wood
not knowing that history he'd make.
Drake was from the Elizabethan era
finishing his game as Spain drew nearer.
A stubborn man and quite contrary
until he died of dysentery!
