Premium MemberIf your'e a native Aussie kid

The milatary cant place you? Whats wrong with it? Its
Understaffed to the umteenth bed.' If youre from the country its even worse.' I beleive theres more chance if
Ypu have four legs.? Your head on two necks praps thats
Cause your easier fed.? Or if you are purple? Or think a
Certain way like perpendicular periperal could wr say? If
You can't take a joke.' Then its straight up; as far as i see
To command all the rubber ducks, that shall form the infantry.'

Premium MemberTake a Book, Leave a Book

Put your reading glasses on
My heart's an open book
See the words I write for you
Come and take a look
Little snippets, fleeting thoughts
A novel it is not
But there's a common thread throughout
The love for you I've got

Premium MemberShe Could Not Pronounce Wr

She could not pronounce R’s, so Mr. Wrong was Mr. Wong.
He did not want to embarrass her, so he dressed the part
He came to meet her family, he broke out in merry song.
She knew at that moment no other fish could ever have her heart.

We need to get married, he told her. White your name on this line.
She bought a funny pencil that would make the color he had demanded.
He had no idea why it took her so long or why she continued to whine.
Not being able to say “Wr” was totally underhanded.

On Barren Land

As i now stand upin barren land
Where sins were in war permitted
& many acts of cruel sins been committed. 

A world filled with hate
What future do our children have in this fate? 
Cruel injustices on earth been done
No victories by battle truly are won.

Its through greed for power above
A governmemt thats forgot the meaning of love.
Whom sends our own men into a war
Whim dont evem know what theyre fighting for. 

I now only pray, for justice to finally pay
And our world to no longer be met
With bitterness in battles of hate.

If only wr looked after our own families& friends 
Then may we be met with a love in the message life truly depends. 
From here from the present i do solemnly vow
Not to ever again be caught up in worldy row.

Ellie Robinson

Ellie became instantly popular on Twitter, 
For her Rio entrance to the 50m butterfly, 
Which became known affectionately as, 
The “gangster entrance”, her huge jacket.  

Ellie was diagnosed in November of 2012,
Just after the London Paralympic Games, 
When she was inspired by Ellie Simmonds, 
To get into the pool and achieve ambitions -

She was diagnosed with Perthes hip disease, 
Already she had achondroplasia, dwarfism, 
But this meant she has physio every day, 
A tough routine which perhaps you adjust to. 

Her first international senior was 2015 Berlin - 
She’s only fifteen, born on 30th August 2001 -
At the Internationale Deutsche Meisterschaften, 
Where she set a WR, took 1 silver, 1 bronze. 

On the run-up to Rio at the Euros in Portugal, 
Ellie won a silver in the 50 metres butterfly S6, 
Bronzes in the 50m, 100m and 400m freestyle,
So in Rio she won gold butterfly, bronze free.

Aaron comes from Trowbridge in Wiltshire,
But recently moved his training to Swansea,
At London 2012 for backstroke he won silver, 
He has a learning disability, so swims S14.

In 2013 he won bronze in Montreal, Canada, 
At the IPC Swimming World Championships, 
And 2014 in the Glasgow International Meets, 
Twice he set a WR in the 100m breaststroke. 

So at Rio in the men’s S14 100 breaststroke,
Aaron collected a very well deserved gold, 
With a time of 1:06.67, second to Scott Quin, 
Although he missed a good backstroke win.

Matt won his class of the 2008 Beijing Games, 
In para-shooting R3 10m air rifle prone mixed,
He took home to Peterborough the gold jeans, 
Because he started shooting aged 11, fixed. 

He won a silver at the London Paralympics, 
To transfix a crowd behind him in a huge mass,
Also won bronze in a different category, picks,
In the SH1 R6 5m air rifle prone mixed class.

He made a WR in Rio in the qualifying rounds,
For the final of the SH1 50m air rifle prone set,
He was born in 1984 with neat October sounds,
And by Stoke Mandeville each day he’s whet.

And Maria won two bronzes,
Plus a silver for the relay’s hall,
‘Cos she’s coming up tops, is.

Kadeena Cox

Kadeena was born on 10 March 1991,
And competed in non-disabled sports, 
Until 2014 when she was diagnosed, 
With Multiple Sclerosis which swayed. 

She was a sprinter, including the 60m,
To set a WR of 11.97secs in the 100,
So changed to para-sports very fine -
To T37 sprinting and C2 track cycling.

On the approach to Rio she posted,
For the 100m a WR of 13.59 secs,
And then beat Georgina Hermitage,
Who came 2nd, by running 13.67.

So for Rio she was reclassified,
As a T38 runner, and for the T38
400m she won the gold medal,
And for the T35-38 relay, a silver.

She won bronze in the T38 100m,
And in that golden 400 set a WR -
Also competing in para-cycling,
She took the gold for the WR trial.

She was definitely a star at Rio,
And so was selected by Team GB, 
To carry the Union Jack upright, 
The night of the closing ceremony.

Deprived of blood in the womb, 
And his father, also called Paul, 
Acted in Starwars, in the 1977 film.

And is a most consistent runner, 
He must get fitness from his mum, 
Who was a dancer, Royal Ballet.

And at the London Paralympics,

Owning the WR for 800m and 1500.

He took a gold and a silver swiftly,
In both the 800m and in the 400m,
Where his rivals did not glance.

Which were held in Swansea,
He collected silver and bronze,
This time in the 400 and 100m.

And took silver in the 400m charge.
