Wikipedia Doesn’t Know Me

Wikipedia Doesn’t Know Me

**********

Mad Eye Moody, can it really be,

That splendid interpretation, a hero so free?

Who gave up his all for the cry of the truth?

So we could know that good is forsooth.

 

Yes, they can all Twitter, be it here, be it there,

About American Idol and Celebrities fair,

But can they replace the genius, so fine,

Like Rowling and Dahl – or Wilson’s strange mind?

 

When next you are shopping in Wal-Mart, I think,

If its bargains you’re after then remember the ink,

On the paper, in the book section, where I’m waiting for sure,

To temp you with my writing so as to open that door.

 

And when it is open my world of strange stuff,

Will entrance and beguile you; the air will be hushed,

As you read about Alice, the Cat and the Mouse,

Harry Rotter and Jimmy – and Beetle About.

 

Forget about Powerball, cars and the news,

Never mind Danny Choo – who is he? I muse

Wikipedia doesn’t know me but, heck, do I care?

When I’ve got so many readers in the real world out there.

Red-hot Chilli Cola!

Red-hot Chilli Cola!

Hot, hot – ever so hot!

New Chilli Cola,

(It burns on the spot).

Will you dare try,

A sip of this beast?

Cola so hot, it makes your eyes weep.

 **********

Hot, hot – ever so hot!

New Chilli Cola,

How I forgot;

EVERYTHING after the very first sip,

Faded away, it was burnt to a crisp.

 **********

Hot, hot – ever so hot!

New Chilli Cola,

It burns on the spot,

This is your chance,

To step up and see,

If you are made of the stuff,

To enjoy this unique treat.

Well, do you think you are up tough enough to try some?

Stone The Crows

Stone The Crows

 

Stone the crows.

What can you mean?

I said stone the crows.

You are awful mean,

To think you could hurt such wonderful birds,

I say stone you too, you are so absurd.

**********

Stone the crows.

Not YOU again.

Stone the crows.

You are not my friend,

That you could maim such marvellous things,

I say stone you too, you horrible thing!

**********

Stone the crows,

It’s a figure of speech!

Stone the crows?

It’s how I speak,

It means, Well I never,

I won’t harm the birds.

Stone the crows are such wonderful words.

The Fertilizer Mine

The Fertilizer Mine

(From the story Alice in Wonderland on Top of the World)

Fertilizer is a thing we don’t always sees,

Though it’s used quite a lot, know yous this if yous please.

It’s a spread on the ground, all around and around,

The plants that are a needing it, by the once and the pound.

Oh, I’s loves my business when I’m mining the stuff,

I’s carts it around and then I’s bags it right up.

I’s stores it away until it’s needed, for sure,

T’bring on the plants in a glorious rapport.

I’m the luckiest, here, elf in charge of this mine,

This wonderful place, the luckiest of finds.

I’s thank my stars that I’s can be of some help,

T’bring on the plants into a wonderful health.

T’end this here ditty, hear you this boys and girls,

If yous ever come t’visit the top of the world,

Yous’ll get a right welcome and a tour of this mine,

Then return home again in a new frame of mind.

Time Does Not Exist

Time Does Not Exist

Time does not exist…

Ah, but here’s the twist,

It’s always NOW.

 No before or then,

No happy ever after,

For mice and men.

It’s NOW,

It has always been NOW,

Before and after,

Is just a silly dream.

I Am a Cat, it said Smiling at Her

I Am a Cat, it said Smiling at Her

I am a Cat, it said smiling at her,

A Cheshire Cat; you can tell by my fur,

My paws and whiskers are also a hint,

But the smile on my face is most significant.

…………………………………………

I can see by your fur, said Alice – I do,

And also your paws and whiskers; it’s true,

But that smile on your face has me all in a tizz,

Coming and going, in such a whiz.

………………………………………

Still smiling at Alice, the Cat dryly replied,

You’d never believe me; you’d think I had lied,

If the smile on my face was gone; it’s a fact,

No one would listen or look at this Cat.

………………………………………….

Without offering Alice a chance to reply,

The Cat went on with his horrible lie,

Creeping closer and closer, until ever so near,

When he pounced, lashed out, cutting her ear.

…………………………………………..

Feeling the hurt and the blood running down,

Alice said, I was such a clown,

To have ever believed a Cat with a grin,

Take that, and that, you horrible thing!

Paint The Roses, Quickly, Quickly!

Paint The Roses, Quickly, Quickly!

Hurry – hurry!

The Queen is coming!

Paint the roses, quickly, quickly.

Hurry – HURRY!

I hear her creeping,

As ever faster my heart is beating!

Sorry – sorry!

We’ve failed our duty,

The Queen has seen us, sadly, badly!

Hurry – HURRY!

We must scamper,

Lest our heads with them she tampers!

HURRY – OH HURRY!

(There is no hurry),

Our heads were targeted; we’re lost; they’ve parted.

All is calm.

Conkers Bonkers

Click HERE to be transferred to my online book shop,

where you can purchase my eBooks.

Conkers is a pastime,

That we remember every year,

When September comes we search about,

To find these gems, so rare.

And when we’ve collected bagfuls,

Enough for you and me,

We rush them home to sort and grade,

Into classes one to three.

The first we use immediately,

To try our luck at play,

The second, we treat, cure and bake,

Into champions, I do say.

The third we leave for a whole year long,

Lodged in the chimney flue,

Until their day of glory comes,

I’ll make do with grades one and two.

Giggle My Boots

Giggle My Boots

Giggle my boots, gaggle my hat,

Goggle my shirtsleeves and fraggle that cat.

I am friggled with laughter, for I know that it’s true,

That you really do love me and not Johnny Lazoo.

You see, Johnny Lazoo, a man of some strength,

Wanted to court you, wanted to bend,

Your ear with his stories, your eye with his looks,

But you never gave him as much as one look.

The day that you said, Yes, I’ll marry you, I will,

Was the happiest day of my life; it was brill,

To think that you chose me over Johnny Lazoo,

Makes me friggle with laughter knowing it’s true.

Before I head off with my bride and my life,

I will give you this piece of excellent advice.

If you are planning to woo your beau, here’s the rub,

Friggle her with laughter and griggle her with love.

Aside

Concorde

Lead a Good Life

Lead a good life; full to the brim.

Enjoy each day as if it’s the last one you win,

Show by example how much you can do,

Whilst here on this plane, this earthly pursuit,

And when you’re in bed, deathly, so grim,

You will gaze up from it with a wink and a grin,

Saying, I lived a good life; full to the brim,

Leading by example, never lecturing about sin,

When you close my eyes for the last time on earth,

Angels will surround you, guiding you forth,

Through the pearliest of gates they will lead the way home,

To God’s heavenly love, sitting adjacent his throne.
