AMERICAN ENGLISH

IT’S MARCH 17th……

ALL IRISH EYES ARE GLASSY FROM BEER

AND THE PUB IS NOISY WITH CHEER,            

A REEL IS PLAYED                                      

AND BLARNEY RELAYED,                              

OH, I WISH I WAS IRISH, MY DEAR!

ALL IRISH ARE LUCKY, THEY SAY,              

GOD-FEARING, HARD-WORKING AND GAY.     

IN THE PUB THEY DO FIGHT,              

STAGGER HOME THEY THEN MIGHT, 

BUT SUNDAY, IN CHURCH THEY ALL PRAY.

ANOTHER LIMERICK

THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY NAMED LINDA
WHO WANTED A RING ON HER FINGER.
HER FRIEND’S NAME WAS HERMANN -
HE’S OBVIOUSLY GERMAN -
ONCE MARRIED, THEY HAD LOTS OF “KINDER”!

NOT ANOTHER LIMERICK!

AT THE BOOK MARKET, I DO NOT SELL ANY
ALL DAY LONG I DON’T MAKE A PENNY
“HEY YOU! BUY A BOOK
AND DO NOT JUST LOOK”
AS AN AUTHOR, I'M LOSING MY SANITY.




THERE WAS A YOUNG GIRL FROM TASSIE
WHO WAS PRETTY BUT KNOWN AS A HUSSY
WHEN SHE MET A YOUNG SCOTT
WHO LIKED HER A LOT
AND CALLED HER “MY WEE BONNIE LASSIE!”




LEGS VARY IN SHAPE AND IN SIZE,
IN SHORT SKIRT, THERE IS NO SURPRISE,
SOME ARE SKINNY LIKE STICKS
HAIRY LEGS ARE THE PITS
BUT CONCRETE CRUSHERS I DESPISE!




THE BABY CRIES PIERCINGLY LOUD
“SHUT UP!” THE FATHER DOES SHOUT
THE MOTHER THEN NURSES
TO AVOID FURTHER CURSES
BUT AS PARENTS THEY BOTH ARE SO PROUD!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 ! (A LIMERICK)

THE GLASSES ARE FILLED WITH CHAMPAIGN AND BEER

LET'S RAISE THEM HIGH IN WELCOME CHEER

AND DRINK TO YOU MY DEAR VISITOR,

LOCAL OR FROM ANOTHER SHORE,

TO YOUR HEALTH AND HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

DEEP IN THE FOREST...

DEEP IN THE FOREST WHERE CREATURES ROAM,

PROTECTED BY TREES AND THEIR CANOPY'S DOME,

IN MOONLIGHT THEY GATHER IN A CLEARING

AWAY FROM HUMANS AND OUT OF HEARING.

AND NOW THEY MAKE MUSIC, THEY CHIRP AND STOMP

WITH RUFFLED FEATHERS, IN COLOURFUL POMP,

ON TWO, FOUR AND MORE LEGS THEY SWAY IN RHYTHM,

WITH EYES HALF CLOSED IN MYSTICISM.

THE BEAT NOW SWELLS AND MELODY

PERVADES THE GROUND AND UP THE TREE

WHERE EVEN INSECTS UNDER BARK,

WITH LITTLE LEGS, DANCE IN THE DARK.

THE MOON IS SHINING DOWN SO BRIGHT;

EVERYTHING MOVES, SWAYS WITH DELIGHT,

WITH ALL THEIR WHISTLES, GRUNTS AND HONK,

IN RAPTURE THEY GO STOMP, STOMP, STOMP!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE A COMMENT?

WITH DAYS SO DREADFUL….

With days so dreadful, with my heart so sore,
there appear in my mind the days of yore,
when young and with optimism brimming
I skipped through life with cheery singing.   


Achieved distinctions through study intense,
mastered exams with dedicated sense,
respected by people who saw me succeed,
there were no limits, for that was my creed.




From a certain age on they look at you diff’rent
‘You have no hope!’ is the message they sent.
‘It is hopeless for you, you shouldn’t strife
‘cause others want your position in life!




But this will not happen, despite them,
And other’s low motives that drive them.
There are many more goals to achieve,
But first I will keep my depression brief.


With writing, drawing and teaching the learners,
Engaging in office work for earnings,
I am constantly improving my life,
And enjoy the rewards for all my strife.

DELEGATE!

When workload on your desk is mounting,
And for the deadlines you are late,
The phones ring and your job is daunting,
Remember one word: Delegate!

More work now to your desk is sent
Relentless and so visibly
The secret here is management
So delegate with urgency!

The bosses know your expert handling
And the contribution you do make;
They will assist with understanding
What you need to do is: Delegate!

POLITICIANS....

A special position is held by the pollies

who are trying to hide from us their follies.

Rorting the system, in parliament missing,

their mistresses in secret kissing,

with promises in vagueness uttered

and when found out, excuses muttered,

but when the voters feel neglected,

these pollies won’t get re-elected!

Dear Reader - would you like to leave a comment?

MY COMPUTER AND I ARE GOOD FRIENDS………..

My computer and I are good friends,

Together we work every day.

I sit there and type with my hands

And new poems are on the way.

When poems are sad and depressing,

When stories are cheerful and gay,

My fingers type on relentlessly

As I have a lot to say.

Sometimes my computer goes cranky;

It freezes and stops half the way.

But with patience and using my savvy,

Starting to work it then may.

Words that misspelled, it corrects

And sentences that gone awry.

Improvement in style it suggests,

Plus new words for me to try.
