Sorrento back beach

2025.3.15

Today, I visited Sorrento back Beach. 
Swam only for five minutes.
Both the swell and the current
Were too high and too strong for me.
Fortunately, the Lifeguard Mason,
Assisted me to get down to the ocean,
Where the waves were less violent.
I held onto his yellow rescue board,
Under my armbit, as he instructed.
When the perfect moment arrived,
Mason asked me

there was a young man from Connaught
who never once had a deep thought
who fell into a well
said, man this is swell
I am in way over my head

Hey Tom, you look well cared for and well fed,
Sure you longed to sleep in your own bed,
You must've had pain, hope they spoiled you,	
More medication, preferred a whiskey or two,
Which nurse did you like best, which one a dread.

Don'T Kiss and Tell

Stan's plan might be to kiss and tell 
To raunchy stories find and sell, 
She not the type, who judged things well,
When lips failed a secret its cell...

And she's got to protect her shell:
Not the end if privacy spell, 
Lust not listen to its hit bell, 
Rid of her Passion's thick smell.
"How sweet is a

Sufficient Fuel For Duel

On this wait not for Prophet Joel 
Nor for Augury rated Jewel: 
Offensive language Sufficient Fuel 
For what ignites Murderous Duel…
 
One I’d watched sparked off by Noel 
To his shame like unpleasant gruel; 
Keep words picturing like served gruel
For The Jailed by A Jailer cruel: 
“I hate you: Satan’s Emmanuel” 
“As much I you:

Testing Testing Both Eyes and Ears Are Operating Swell

Unless you are the very 1st human
being on earth

To have discovered the ability or
have been gifted the means

Of possessing eye's in the back 
of your head

Then here a few words that may be
of use to you

Please do not be surprised if you miss
what is right in front of you starring 
you square right back at

A Zhiberain thong mist, he caused Blip Dynomo

Swell: Currumbin Sculpture Festival
 
For Fred
Picture us arm in arm, strolling,
the crunch of sand underfoot,
the scent of sea air, the touch of sea wind
on our skin, again on the beach at Currumbin.
 
Your eyes are failing now
yet, with my words and your imagination,
with the senses of a beachcomber- we’re finding

If Seasons Swell

If swallows scissor scarlet skies
and gather summer on their wings;
then seasons shift to autumn tones
as gnats retune the evening's song.

If apples swell with ozzing juice
that slowly drips on wooden floors
then purpled fruit release their stench 
in time that slowly stretches hours. 

If stubbled fields are stacked and stooked
with hay in gilded packs that sway
then harvest

Hollows Swell and Labor

A desolate shore reaches,
its gritty scree taunts
a green and tumbling sea.

Breakers slap an
umpteenth juncture.

Kelp sea pods dilate,
foam swirls in the shingle,
barren wombs drink.

Krill churns out
of a sandy dross.

Waves carry their children away.

Starlight stirs my coffee

the moon a soft croissant

hangs upon a painted sky

lilac or saffron my essence

new tidal ebb in accession

impassioned lyrical swells 

rise as the sun falls we gaze

in a haze of dusty rhymes

biscuits await upon a doily 

spiced rum waits for no one.

This Christmas, hubby’s waistline has expanded quite a bit
So much so that all his clothes simply do not fit
I took him to the tailor, who looked a little prim
I pointed at my man and said I want a suit for him
He looked him up and down and when he spoke his tone was grim
‘Might I
