GNRT DAY 44 STEPHEN, PAUL AND WHOOPIE
We needed one more day in Bangor for three simple reasons why…
to see Stephen King’s House, take a photo with Paul Bunyan
and to eat the first of many a Whoopie Pie.
At Stephen King’s house our photo was taken by Molly a three year old girl
because it is our objective…
as we grow ever older never

The Humour of Stephen Wright - The Sequel
This is a serious question,
I don't want to cause a stink,
but how can you really tell
when you're out of invisible ink?
Scientists ask great questions.
They don't do it for a lark.
We know about the speed of light
so, what's the speed of dark?
The car mechanic called me
while I was eating some clam chowder.
He said I can't fix

The Wild and Wacky Humour of Stephen Wright
I wanted to build a skylight in my place.
My friends thought it was spurious.
So I went and built it anyway.
Now the neighbors above me are furious.
I got a dog a few months ago,
but he doesn't want to play.
I guess that can be a problem
when your dog's name is Stay.
I tried to draw my shadow

Grave Work
He thrusts his fist against his mouth
to keep the screams from spilling out,
Wading through the choking stink
he shivers and shakes on madnesses brink,
Clutching hands grip spade and pick
as the last wisps of sanity slip,
STOP STOP STOP
The voices scream into one ear
GO GO GO
Speaks the others a little more clear
My darling babe
Is all he can say
It’s

Through the Glass- Stephen Sullivan
The windows shimmer in a fit of snow and wind, early in the season,
with a smack of uncertainty. Snow and bitter cold frost the glass like
half of Dad’s old Chess pieces. Through glass we peer dimly as if looking
for a dream.
Playing Chega de Saudade on a dry piano carries authentic tones
of

Stars Yet Unborn - Just 5percent In Our Universe
I
Our universe, if investigated a little bit
Will amaze us, and build faith past limit
II
The universe may be expanding now
It was smaller before the Big Bang (as it were)
It has contracted & expanded since U know
It may just be the birth & death cycles
Has repeated as in death & birth of stars
S. Hawking said, So long

I
Cosmos has some constant and Einstein got closest in a century
- pure gravity
II
Hawking stated loudly, If there's gravity, the cosmos will create itself
III
Gravity, in black Holes too, is Love of God: it cancels all laws by Grace-Gravity

Stephen, Full of Grace
And Stephen, full of grace, performed great signs;
The Freedmen rose, disputed what he said.
Unable to withstand, they soon resigned;
They leveled claims of blasphemy instead.
They stirred up folks; the news, like wildfire, spread.
’Twas seized, brought ‘fore the council ‘gainst his will
Where witnesses bore testimony ill,
“Says Jesus will destroy this holy place,
Seeks to reverse what Moses has

Goodbye Stephen
Goodbye Stephen, you brightened our way
With lyrics that said what we couldn’t say,
With music that touched our spirit, our soul,
You picked us up broken, put us back whole.
In Memory of Stephen Sondheim

Land of Lost Shadows: A Tribute To L S Lowry
land of lost shadows
and unweathered skies
five urban colours
through unflinching eyes
tall distant chimneys
and schoolyards at play
smoke drifting sideways
in stillness each day
sketches on packets
of stained cigarettes
strange brooding faces
and marionettes
people bent walking
with heads looking down
- if lowry was living
he'd have painted my town.

The Stoning of Stephen
“You stiff-necked people, with uncircumcised hearts and ears! You are just like your fathers: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your fathers did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him— you who have received the

Respect to you Sir

And that is saying something
