Alan was at a baseball park and caught
Andy's fastball, playing catch. Unable
to call his pal Sam tapping a bottle
cola. 'Twas faraway, at last Sam, got
aware of Alan, bad reason, and bought
Alan a cola. Autumn, leaves falling,
all ages are happy--all things pleasing.
An apt man arranged a lady he brought
on a boat placed on a lake for rowing
as Lady Ann and yachtsman Aaron plan
marriage. June a fact, January fast,
seasonal feast pleasantries ball dancing,
able seaman, Aaron, he's a Captain.
Anchors aweigh bon voyage that will last.

G was born from E and F,
G discover H so they merged as one
To see I: Passing through S and T
Moving and standing strong as GHI
Passing through tunnels
To envisioning fountains:
Water droplets and beautiful streams,
To falling from waterfalls
deep dives:
Water cannons and Splashes,
realized life can change in a matter of seconds,
The order of time fighting against reality
Toy story sadness: how the toys need Andy!
Love never stays but memories are engraved,
Throwing tantrums and crying
Till who knows what comes!
Yachtsman and Yachtswoman
You ain't gonna sail this yacht,
Sailing across the Atlantic
To discover the mysteries,
Followed by shadows the crew I invoked
Arrrrrrrrrr......!
Sailing across the seven seas
with my pirate ship,
Ain't no matey that shall stop Arrrrrrrrrr will.
Seventy two millimetres of giant oink isn't a mild fashion statement. It is a hook and curve with two crevasses. A creche in a canyon jump is a dramatic effort of tree construction. A limpet lump can bring much luck to a tulip who smiles in a breezy field. Whilst free forming a piece of pie is mostly equivalent to a large vibrating fridge freezer whose legs whirl in a tinted air of colony. Oh look a basting vest. Vehicular movements. Peak of a partridge beak. Yellow yachtsman yapping yeast. Directional orbital flow. Flights of officialdom. Narrowed in broths. Fashion a fish favourably as it is driving a lorry. *** ha and eat 600 portions of porridge with one hand and electric toast with your foot. *** hahahaha *** manifestation ***
The siren shattered the silence of night
This signalled someone in distress
So out of bed I got and rapidly did dress
I rode down to the shore line
My comrades to meet
The wind was blowing strong
But out at sea a yachtsman
Was in jeopardy
Rapidly our boat was launched
Down the ramp to splash into the sea
The engine was roaring ,driving hard
The water picked by the wind into foaming waves
No time to consider the dangers that we faced
As toward the yachtsman forward we raced.
Our search light probing like a finger of light
Tried to pierce the darkness of the night.
Finally we saw the boat
Its mast broken, hanging limply in the raging sea
We called the yachtsman on the radio to tell of our intent
To fire a rocket, rope attached which he should secure,
We would then tow him from the rocks on the leeward shore
The rocket fired and rope secured we towed the boat,
To a harbour nearby, a tragedy averted, another grateful man.
We returned more slowly to where all this began
Tainted Oilman Hayward, geologist-in-chief
Oddly opined amidst deep misery and grief
He said the oil spill would have a modest impact
Did not want the “small people” to over-react
Yachtsman saw a “tiny” leak in the “big ocean”
Wanted to stop the oil spill, without commotion
Did not grasp the urgency of the Gulf Coast plight
Until the president said you will “make it right”
Then, he agreed the spill caused “massive disruption”
Touched his own life, with a massive interruption
Frustrated Hayward said he wanted his life back
While oil spill victims tried to keep their lives on track
His self-serving words invoked disbelief and wrath
Spread swiftly and portended his demotion path
After facing lawmakers on Capitol Hill
Hayward flew to London for a yacht racing thrill
Gulf Coast residents became extremely upset
They could not relax while the oil was still a threat!
Rebuked and scorned in each befuddled Gulf Coast town
The embattled yachtsman was ordered to stand down
Hayward got his life back, in a timely fashion--
More free days to pursue his yacht racing passion
