He loved the intimacy of the music hall
always his first port of call

So Trump checked in to Walter Reed
And asked them for a cure for greed
They said, "Crystal Meth -
Or you could choose death -
But Fort Knox is where we keep seed!"

To Poets -- By Walter savege Landor[1775-1864]
My children!Speak ill of one another;
I do not ask you not to hate;
Cadets must envy every elder brother,
The little poet must the great.

“Pooh”
Winnie’s squeezed sigh was rather prehensile
butt Oh bother! was the scoop by Walter Winchell
bears do do do in the woods
but the buzz to bee understood
is it’s trees that make number two pencils

Dr. Walter Frieze
Here, arrogant Dr. Walter Frieze
Who in idle boast, cured every disease;
From illness, could never go blue
Lies cold, felled by common flu!

Epitaph
A splendid actor was the late Walter Brennan.
There were so many movies and television shows he was in.
One of his characters I would particularly enjoy:
That was when he played grandpa Amos McCoy.

The Blues fills my memory,
all emptiness gone
Its Harp laying claim,
my soul to belong
Little Walter cries out
‘that same old somethin’ again
Jimmy Reed to remind us
—of the mojo within

reading to ourselves
never speaking verse aloud
do we miss the point
Note: I was reminded of this aspect of poetry when my wife recently recited one of her
favourite poems to me from her school days by Walter De La Mare 'Off the Ground'.

Bryan Lee Cranston, as everyone knows,
Portrays Walter White in crime drama shows;
As vibrant as a conch-shell,
Enchants all by-action-spell;
His fine flawless voice like fluent flood flows…

False love
False love,and thou played me this
In the summer among the flower?
I will repay thee back again
In winter among the showers.
Unless again, again, my love.
Unless you turn again:
As you with other maidens rove,
I'll smile on other men.

Cradling a nation
With warm love
Brightly guiding
Our pursuit of dreams
Comforting our sorrows
Celebrating our victories
Cradling a nation
with
warm
love

Once there was a guy who was named Hunter
who was once a lawyer and a banker.
His father was handsome Joe
who ran his own "tik tok" show;
Who looked like Dunham's dummy named Walter.
*Just for fun.*

The Grand Circus Of Life
-Walter Rossman
Welcome to the greatest show
no cords, no nets below
your life is at stake
don't make it a mistake
below the tightrope, failure stares
don't stumble, yet nobody cares
about you in this circus
to succeed, don't be nervous
don't fail, rely on sureness,
luck will smile on us.

On Sundays Walter gives Pastor Joe
magazines to read along with
comments on his sermons.
The pastor loves the magazines
but Walter is leaving for another city
so no more magazines for Pastor Joe
and no more comments about his sermons.
Pastor Joe will miss Walter's magazines
but he won’t miss Sundays with Walter.

For these ladies, coffee served only to bring a frown
For alas, they had just seen their husbands drown :(

To my Auntie Jenny,
Whom I loved so much,
You are now with the Lord and free of pain,
You and Walter are back together,
I will miss you loads,
I remember your fun times,
You had a heart of gold,
Kind, fun, generous and warm.
May you now Rest in peace.
Love from your niece Susie <>< <><
Ps, Please will you give Richard a hug and kiss from me.

Listen to poem:
O yon Loch Ness Monster
is come out of the lake
through all the wide border
his tail left a wake
and save his fire-breathing
he weapons had none
he swam all unharmed
and fair maidens he won
so faithful in love
yet so very messy
there never was wee beastie
like the young dragon Nessie
(With apologies to Sir Walter Scott)
