The Chives of Allium Schoenoprasum

learning how to dehydrate food was easy
but it was so hard to convince them
to get over the need for meat.
learning dehydration was easy: expensive but easy.I couldn't forget I called my Lover, she liked doing thing with me so I found it easiest to try recipes where she  would taste and motive me to

Premium MemberOn My Own For The First Time

I am adopted and a single child
having a stammer since pre-school
I also loved soccer to play and watch
at 12, I got to go to my first game, real cool!

This was fab to go on my own
for the very first time just me
a real sense of freedom I stood there
on the terrace standing tall as a

Soccer Saturday's

I love my Soccer Saturday's.
Today's the day that my team plays.

Sit back, relax, enjoy a beer.
If my team scores, you know I'll cheer.
My feet up, whilst it's cold outside.
If we lose, then I'll be mortified.

So I'm praying for an easy win.
Whilst hoping that my bet comes in.
When the game is just about to start.
Anxiety kicks

Up the Villa

In the heart of the city, where legends embark.
Stands the famous old stadium, they call Villa Park.
A club full of honours, with a history so rich.
I'm proud when I see Aston Villa on the pitch.

From the very old days in the lower divisions.
These days you'll remember if you are a villain.
Our team Aston Villa, greatest

Soccer

I want to feel the ground swell
to share it
Saturday, comes too soon
drowns the afternoon
and see City demoted for fair play
10,000 plastic cups
a river of lager streams
Its not that  I'm afraid of fencing
but these stadiums hem me in

Premium MemberFunchal's Star

It was in the eighties, a winter day in Funchal, 
the capital of Madeira, when a woman gave birth.
She was an anonymous, struggling woman
sailing the seas of poverty, with three other
children to feed.
At first, she hesitated to have this little baby,
the fourth to come, because the family salary
did not cover more. Her husband, a good

Premium MemberSoccer No's

Don’t kick my shin
Lest I grin and
Your chin gets kneed.

Don’t touch the ball
Not at all or
The call will come.

Don’t pass the line
Tis a crime, you’ll
Do time for this.

Don’t hog the ball
Share with all and
Stand tall for team!

PELE

Oh

Yes!

I am Pele 
Was born poor
But to be great
Dad played ball 
I’d loved to do it better

Even if the flower won’t bloom
I’ll cherish what I love to do 
Do it in a better way, thrive!
Yea!! To a better me to reckon 

Where is the ball, balloon rolls
Where is the field? The road to greatness

24 Hour News - Euro 24

Can anyone follow the news anymore?
during Euro 2024,
after the UK elections,
when I want to know the latest selections,
In Gareth Southgate’s team,
In Sir Keir Starmer’s team,
with everyone analysing, prophesying,
what this or that might mean.

Even if we heard those songs before,
all the pundits are oh so cock-sure,
everyone thinks they know the score,
the truth is nobody ever knows,
until
