Agatha Christie - 1890-1976
er first time on a board, February 1922, was Muizenberg, South Africa, then again, in August, the lady surfed Honolulu, Hawaii, where, by Duke Kahanamoku, there may have been taught, and in Waikiki lost her shorts. Who would have thought, of all the girls in the whole wide world, she was the sort to shoot the curl. Tho' a novel way to spend the day, no crime this time,...

Man of mercy
He was a man who knew how to knock out another man. Against amateurs, there was just no match for him. 4 years of tough man competitions, he walked away with the title everytime.   I worked with him for over 10 years and had many talks about boxing. He told me about how he got to spar Tyson...

WTC Final bowlers' ball
Have bowlers become spicier? Hitches in batting riches Cut sl**s shut in a rut Pitches become dicier? Chestnut witches strut Gluts of stitches And seams dreams Humdrum Timber Tantrum doldrums Back in the hut What we did see at the WTC Wood from the tree No pretence…don’t do defence Weary..slain in vain again Don’t be wary..leery of Scary lairy leather fairies Won’t refrain..don’t restrain Might as well go insane In...

WTC Postman Pat
Another hallowed arrow from his quivers One of cricket’s greatest shiver givers Coursing down your spine like rivers Fine line..never dithers as slivers Of adversaries hopes on the ropes..withers Tipples tickle our livers The latest tropes of how Somehow…anyhow won’t kowtow Postman Pat delivers Matinee idol looks tease Record books hooks please Finds batters crannies & Nooks with such ease Impeccable length…metronomic Chin music chagrin Such strength..astronomic Gift...

Unplugged
Don't get me wrong the Olympic men's 50m butterfly was going along swimmingly strong but I wonder why or was it a blunder when the metaphorical rug was pulled out from under by some infernal fool who removed the plug from the bottom of the pool while down the water went was it hell-bent or heaven-sent as what was to be gained when after it drained puzzled spectators and...

The Real AI
Written By: D. Collins 6/6/25 Big men shivered when he got into the paint. Knowing they're a victim of his vicious faints. He had the meanest crossover anyone has ever seen. Even Michael Jordan got postered on our T.V. screens. He was a little man with the heart and will of a bull. Made many so-called professionals look like a...
