Sailing solo is unsafe
and it's not much fun
one winds up talking to oneself
before the day is done
but a bad day on the water
or so someone said
beats a good day at the office
(and I would know)
snug in my bunk bed
so gentlemen here's a tip for you
as all good sailors do
(when they want to wee believe you me)
remain seated throughout the performance
when you go to the head (loo) or WC

One of my favorite album covers in which I like best
Includes some famous actresses like Marilyn Monroe and Mae West
Some very famous male Actors it also yields
Like, Marlon Brando, Huntz Hall and W.C. Fields
Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy, and Bette Davis are also there
And so is Johhny Weissmuller, Oscar Wilde and Fred Astaire
There's the British Prime Minister- Robert Peel and Hindu Guru- Swami Sri
And there's Sonny Liston but there is no Mohammed Ali
There's Lenny Bruce and Bob Dylan and others you might know
And of course, the famous poet- "Edgar Allen Poe"
You'd have to be good to recognize them all
But it's easy to find- John, Goerge, Ringo, and Paul

UPON MY THRONE
A humorous ending.
I sit upon my throne, a lonely king.
What will I say, this day, to me did bring -
Happiness, more loneliness, more wealth
or poverty?
I sit upon my throne, a king in slings.
I sit upon my throne, a king alone.
Here where I sit, I do not have a phone.
If I loudly shouted, not a soul would
hear my words
As I sit here alone upon my throne.
I am the king of all my realms I see.
There is no one in my throne room but me.
I’m the king of my throne seat and you know, it’s
kind of neat –
Oh, well, I’m done -this bathroom now is free.

It was the pill the doctor had said so
To take it near the toilet and away you’ll go
So I sat with pill in my hand
With a glass of water at my ready command
So I took it and there was a gurgling sound
As I ran a away to the toilet bound
And I sat on the throne for 20 minutes flat
Whilst playing Annie Laurie on the organ so loudly at that
There was some painting around the WC
That took a while to clean well you see
So I rang the doctor who enquired from me
Had his mother’s Austrian recipe worked so beautifully.

Who here
rests,
must have
specific dose
of a thing
that doesn't smell
of Rose...
That one who
here it is proposed
doing prose,
must before

Octobers are made of
Halloween Moons,
children in costumes
trick or treating,
carmel apples, hay rides
down country roads,
bonfires with close friends,
smells of pumpkin spices,
orange ,red, and brown
leaves crunch underfoot,
and the crisp breeze of fall
This is my October

This years holiday took us to Madeira
an island of exquisite beauty so rare
having a history rolling back decades
raising its inhabitants looking so fair
Columbus himself stepped on this land
before heading west, America to find
UK's war leader Churchill came to paint
loving the peaceful place W.C. signed
The capital Funchal truly majestic
a city with its own story centre
three dimensional shown all its history
richly blessed what could be better?
This island has indeed such a nice climate
throughout the year its warmth varies little
making its tourism of such high regard
it's an important priority no matter how brittle
The mountains and greenery so luscious
looking down on its boisterous sea
as well as its winds which do vary
even the aeroplane bows to freely agree
What a picture this land paints
with all its wine, fish and its fruit
all this excellence must be tasted
such richness grows at its very root
(Reflections of a recent holiday spent on the lovely island of Madeira near Portugal.)

The world has discovered it's coveted holy grail
To Jules Rimet we honour let the football feast set sail.
Countries unite and teams take flight to a designated host nation
Little kids feed off this passion they tune-in with eager motivation.
Anticipation even before any ball is kicked or flicked
Back pages with fake news has our minds playing tricks.
Will he start will he not toys yanked from the cot
What's more at least we are entertained somewhat.
It takes us away from the 9-5 the same old mundane
Propels us into a four year galaxy the game beautifully insane.
From the old to the young the whole world will celebrate
Sole-stomping satisfaction our diverse planet will vibrate.
There will be scandals, errors, misdemeanours all documented
There will amazing goals, tricks, bad refereeing decisions all commentated.
What a beautiful notion thought of by that man Mr. Rimet
Implanting the WC in our lives from 1930 to present day.

Snap crackle pop's not my cereal sound anymore
Now that's how I sound getting up off the floor
It's not new if I'm up at the crack of dawn
For an emergency journey to the John
I get a new wart or spot every day
I've now abandoned watching what I say
Though not W.C. Fields to any degree
I did say, "Go away son you bother me!"
I can come off as a little cranky I guess
I am a bit coarse and grumpy I confess
But if you think that I'm too brazen or bold
Don't worry about it I'm just getting old!

When words seem poor and you can not find peace
If the birds stop building nests in spring
Precious memories caresses with grief
We know that a flower in a beautiful garden can die
Each friend you meet in life, is born under a star
The strength, warmth, dreams and questions
Someone who always has a special part of your life
A battle to succeed when everything seems so useless
Deeper than the ocean, two souls who shared a friendship
Your birth in heaven will be a beautiful and caring angel
Gathered in a lifecycle perspective to say goodbye
A dear heart, rest in peace Theresa

Fastest Limerick Man in the West
There was a young man was always up for test
Produced great limericks that rhymed the very best
Some said he had wrote stupor
or maybe had great humor
He definitely stole funnies from the west.
