Marlene Murray Poem
If I had a dime
Every single time
I heard someone say
Have a nice day!
No riches on me
Would you ever see!
Nor money in the bank
Would I have to yank!
Most people won't take
The time to fake
A laugh or a smile
Might cramp their style?
So here's an idea
Add a smile to your criteria
Make the effort, laugh and say
See yaw, have a nice day!

Marlene Murray Poem
Two brothers of stature and wit
A business to start, they'd commit.
The desire for fame
Was in their last name
Now Two-Morrows a work in profit!

Marlene Murray Poem
I once had a friend named Sally
Who loved the Fresno Valley.
Her desire to travel
Soon did unravel
A wee one dubbed Callie O'Malley.

Marlene Murray Poem
There once was a buffalo named Morty
Who thought he was ever so sporty
Speed skating his game
The Olympics he'd aim
This time he'd defeat Klassen by forty.

Marlene Murray Poem
Overrun, overcome, overthrow
Victory is living out the day
Ethnic cleansing the result as
Reign of terror is the product of
Terrorism that spawns within dictatorship
Human annihilation by rebel armies in control
Extreme measures employed to halt third-world
Regimes acquiring a foothold in democracies, the
Enemy is looking in from over there my fellow
Countrymen, the enemy is at our gates.

Marlene Murray Poem
We are soldiers
This is our life
our job
our career
Chosen for reasons whatever
In peace and in conflict
Striving to achieve our dreams
Struggling to suppress our fears
We are the Armed Forces
strong
proud
able-bodied
Dedicated to protecting our country
nation's people
Large ponderous units
Crossing the vast expanse of unfamiliar terrain
well trained
meticulously drilled
A special breed
powerful force
band of brothers
Instructed in the art of war
Where survival is not an option
And if we fall dignify us
The price we will pay
loss
death
We belong to the world
peacekeeping
disaster
war
We only ask for support
understanding
respect
War is globally rejected
Third world regimes grasping greater power
terrorists
insurgents
rebel forces
Their native peoples desperate plea for relief
genocide
slavery
capture
torture
To reject would be inhumane
answering requires military
force
The product is war
spawning hostility
destroying the innocent
mouthing ignorance
The reality of it all
sadness
families suffer
blame spent
sides taken
casualties
Someone has to die.

Marlene Murray Poem
Turin, Italy the
Home of the athletes, 2006
Extreme performances,
Wipeouts are
Immiment,
Nation against nation,
Timing is everything,
Excelling to the challenge,
Rallying behind their own ,
Only the best,
Legends they will become,
Years of training and preparation,
Medals of gold, silver, bronze on
Podiums wait, embedded
In memories forever,
Congratulations to all the
Stars of the Winter Olympics!

Marlene Murray Poem
All bombs cause destruction exemplifying
fanatic ghastly heartless infamous
jar, kindling loathe, machination nefarious
operations pitilessly quashing
rabid sanguineous tyranny, uncivilized violence,
warlike xenophobia, yielding zilch!
