Dublin Tram
Narrow streets winding gracefully
through the old Irish city
grand church towers give the
skyline such an amazing visage
old brick buildings and the
River Liffey look oh so pretty
through photograph one
captures quite an amazing image
Cobbled streets and narrow lanes
wind on and on for miles
majestic bridges run perpendicular
to the river’s quays
leaving those wandering on
foot with broad grinning smiles
morning light dancing on the
rippling river water does please
Cold steel tracks snakily...

Holy Spirit by Jemia
The Black Horse, a gin house
On an area, quite profound
Many a seafarer, got blown off course
When landing in the America Ground
The Black Horse soon expired
And no longer had a perch
Soon the ground was rebuilt, as desired
Creating the Holy Trinity Church
by Jemia

The Late Jon Pertwee
He was a British actor who died on the 20th of May.
He died in 1996, he died twenty-five years ago today.
He was an extremely talented actor and his name was Jon Pertwee.
It's hard to believe that he has been dead for a quarter of a century.
He starred as the third incarnation of the Doctor in "Doctor Who" half a century ago.
About one decade later, Pertwee starred in "Worzel Gummidge" as a dumb scarecrow.
A teacher told Jon that he'd never amount to anything as an actor but he was full of crap.
That teacher was so wrong and Pertwee should've given him...

The Black Horse
The America ground, without recourse
Where smugglers, thieves, and vagabonds so coarse
Woulds't quaff, ale, or gin, at The (dubious) Black Horse

Pater Automobilias - Lap One
Papa had a penchant
for British automobiles
when I was just a wee lad
he drove a Morris Minor
then Uncle Jerry called to tell
what a neighbor had to sell
a steel steed much finer
Fond memory I have
traveling with dad
a long way down the 101
a seemingly magical vehicle to see
father’s mind set to own
the racing green, 1950 MG TD
Parked, rarely driven
smothered under clutter
In a garage in San Diego
my dad and his brother
unearthed the buried treasure
father with glee
hands over the dough...

the horses
THE HORSES
There was grassland with a river crossing, a natural barrier.
White horses on one side, and muscular brown horses on the other side.
If one looks well, there are foals of mixed race, they good genes and will
in time carve out their land, higher up, near the hills and water.
When farmers wanted a horse for ploughing, they lassoed a brown horse,
for lighter work, like driving the ladies to the church in a buggy, a white horse
was chosen mainly because they were malleable to handle.
Tragedy struck, developers bought the land, houses were built,...

The Tiger
A tigress in Belgium rattled her cage
she got free growled angry words before
her keepers captured her
Her claws were manicured and red as blood.
Her hind legs to had manicured claws
and her fur was smooth as silk.
She was looking for a male tiger but in Belgium
they are thin on the ground.
Could it be rain?
She once, in the jungle found a tiger tall alas
the giant beast around, but untamed
left her in nail-bar and to another country fled.
There are so many tigresses everywhere and her
mane is getting...

The Forester King (The Legend of Robin Hood)
The Forester King (The Legend of Robin Hood)
Twas but merely a hundred years
Harold with splintered eye, wept blood, not tears
William The Conqueror of Normandy, had battles won
As old Saxon Danes were badly out-done
Their fight for survival, had just begun
Enslaved by Norman Earls, Barons and Knights
After the death of Hereward The Wake, in fights
The Saxons were treated simply as serfs
Diminished in strength, morale and nerves
Their courage was now on its final reserves
Like Romeo and Juliet, two lovers barely met at...

not my story
Not my story
During the fight of the French and the Algerians
I was caught in the middle of it.
A French surgeon who sided with Algeria, had
Given then vital information and four of us legioners
We're told to execute him.
When we arrived, he was in the middle of surgery
So we decided to wait, none of us wanted the job
But orders are orders so we waited
Finally, he came out we had guns at the ready
And he said: I don’t want any of you to be guilty2
By then he popped a pill in his mouth and died
Instantly, an ambulance was...
