Far From Perfect !
If I boast about my skills,
It's not that I pay my bills.
My flaws are easy to see ,
If you hang around me.
I try to be kind to all,
But my mouth may be my fall.
If you check my under arms ,
You may have some alarms.
I'll have a bath today,
Last one was Wednesday.
But if you check my heart,
You'll have a surprising report.
Some say it's made of gold ,
It's formed by much untold.
Hardship and pain can create,
A lot of sympathy for the lame.
Everyone has their story,
Listen and you may feel sorry.
So if I'm gruff and crude,
It's not because I'm rude.
We are shaped by this world,
And a product of that mold.
Some are proud of being good,
Others just dream of the Could.
I thank God I'm alive today,
His divine protection, I say.
I won't deceive or trick,
But it's hard to be perfect.!
It's not that I pay my bills.
My flaws are easy to see ,

But if you check my heart,

About this poem:
written by me ,BinkHere's Hoping............
How can you blame them
Searching for a better life
They understand of another world
Without poverty and strife
A world of jobs and riches
A world of happy and sane
So why shouldn't they pursue
To eliminate their pain
Would you search for a better life
If the roles were turned around
Of coarse you would because you know you could
It's just normal ground
So why is it we make it hard
For those who know what hard is
Should we not open our hearts
And give that what reality really is
Surely there is way
That will determine their fate
A lot more easier
Than the way they can relate
Hope is an avenue
All must venture down
I hope that all that seek their way
Keep their direction to ease their frown .............

Happy New Year!
Thinking, oh, how good it was! Thinking on this New Year’s eve,
Thank you, friends, for taking time, speaking high about me,
Many kind and gracious words may be thus addressed to thee,
You’re my refuge and my ties with the world outside of me.
Thanks for all the good you've done and for more you are to give,
Toast of joy let’s lift to us, toast to luck in joyful glee!
New Year’s coming, we're on eve, let us wish ourselves good things,
Let’s be joyful at a time when our planet takes its leap
To a new and wondrous start! New Year’s coming! Let it be!!!

Amongst the madness..........
Old man I see you there
Pushing a trolley as if you don't care
A sparkle in your eyes amongst the fanfare
How is it you have time to share
Polished falseys and a gleaming smile
Little steps forever a mile
Each one so worthwhile
As you bask within your own style
Old man I see your stare
My hand outstretched so I may share
Christmas blessings with love and care
A stranger in your life with gifts to spare........
Pushing a trolley as if you don't care
A sparkle in your eyes amongst the fanfare
How is it you have time to share
Polished falseys and a gleaming smile
Little steps forever a mile
Each one so worthwhile
As you bask within your own style
Old man I see your stare
My hand outstretched so I may share
Christmas blessings with love and care
A stranger in your life with gifts to spare........

Blessing a complete stranger in the madness of shopping because he had a smile to share ...........
JOYOUS GIFT.
A gift, wrapped in paper of brown
Makes one happy, or maybe frown
Tied with coloured, bows and ribbons
Made acceptable, because of trimming
Does this mean, only bright baubles
Attract our eyes, so they may dawdle
On a simple vision, basic perhaps dull
Gift of attraction, proof of inner goal
Lurking, hidden from immediate view
Gasp of joy could follow, if not on cue
Yet so often, we judge by outer cover
When seeking a friend, or even lover
Hidden gems, may hover all around
Watch from shadows, make no sound
So if looking, takes some extra time
It's worth the effort, looking for a sign
Lurking out of sight, special shining light
Lifting sense and emotions, timing right
From a glance, believed couldn't be so
Found true happiness, not expected foe
Makes one happy, or maybe frown
Tied with coloured, bows and ribbons
Made acceptable, because of trimming
Does this mean, only bright baubles
Attract our eyes, so they may dawdle
On a simple vision, basic perhaps dull
Gift of attraction, proof of inner goal
Lurking, hidden from immediate view
Gasp of joy could follow, if not on cue
Yet so often, we judge by outer cover
When seeking a friend, or even lover
Hidden gems, may hover all around
Watch from shadows, make no sound
So if looking, takes some extra time
It's worth the effort, looking for a sign
Lurking out of sight, special shining light
Lifting sense and emotions, timing right
From a glance, believed couldn't be so
Found true happiness, not expected foe

About this poem:
how often in life are we caught out by our own expectations.....in every aspect of life.....
Xmas
Stroll beneath heavens fiery vault
in the dry timbered creeks
in meadows parched so long
rise high these wisps of clouds
that know not the blessings
of leafy shaded green
Xmas will become you
Lost symphonies adorn the alleyways
Idle chords languid in the floral air
laughter alight from opened windows
amble in the streets and lanes
hand in hand
the world has planned
for Xmas to become you
in the dry timbered creeks
in meadows parched so long
rise high these wisps of clouds
that know not the blessings
of leafy shaded green
Xmas will become you
Lost symphonies adorn the alleyways
Idle chords languid in the floral air
laughter alight from opened windows
amble in the streets and lanes
hand in hand
the world has planned
for Xmas to become you

About this poem:
Whether you are country or city, Xmas will become you. Its raining here in NZ, supposed to be hot, bring on SummerNorth of nowhere.........
I turn back once more
And am mesmerised by what I see
The evening hues cloaking the earth
And dressing the beautiful sea
A tinge only a tinge
Whispers on the shore
But the brilliance of snow white waves
Adds a beauty I can't ignore
I stop and rest awhile
And drink it all in
My gaze stretching for miles
It's such an intoxicating thing
The remnants of rain filled clouds
Embellish the islands north
The mystical lands beyond
And the beauty of their worth
A lone surfer eases himself
Onto his last wave
As my photographic memory
Captures all I need to save..........
And am mesmerised by what I see
The evening hues cloaking the earth
And dressing the beautiful sea
A tinge only a tinge
Whispers on the shore
But the brilliance of snow white waves
Adds a beauty I can't ignore
I stop and rest awhile
And drink it all in
My gaze stretching for miles
It's such an intoxicating thing
The remnants of rain filled clouds
Embellish the islands north
The mystical lands beyond
And the beauty of their worth
A lone surfer eases himself
Onto his last wave
As my photographic memory
Captures all I need to save..........

Looking back along the beach .............Wow
~ Santa's Elves ~
Santa’s Elves
Santa’s Elves bring Christmas cheer
Making things for good little
Girls & Boys
Making all kind of wonderful Christmas toys
They sing and dance beneath the tree
Singing Christmas carols
Especially for you & me
Helping Santa load his sleigh
Getting ready for a wonderful
Christmas day
Feeding the reindeer their special holiday hay
In order that Santa can be on his merry way
Santa making children’s wishes come true
And he has a special one to give just to you!
Up on the house tops Santa will come
And down the chimney with presents for all!
Then Santa will call out
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night!
Merry Christmas to all

Prostate Cancer and Arthritis
A sister once told me
If the male sperm sits too long in the testicles
It could cause prostate cancer and it's important
For men to have multiple ejaculations
Or even m**turbate often to release the sperm
Well, this brother told me that he agreed and he chokes his chicken
Or visits Mrs. Palmer and her five children often...
As much as possible!
And he admits that he doesn't have prostate cancer
However, he contracted arthritis
In the elbow, forearm, fingers, and wrist!
Now, ain't that about a b*tch?

The Perfect Poet
What is a poet ?
A poet has the ability to create great poetry literature,
Who is never stumped for writing great lines in poems
Someone who can always make each line rhyme with the next
A person with the ability to create a great poem title
The poem can have a powerful starting line,
Middle and a punch line at the end.
The poet needs to keep the audience totally interested
Never veering of course and giving total direction of the poem.
If you can do this kind of poem you will hold a captive audience
This in my opinion is the Perfect Poet, who will rise to great heights and become famous among his or her piers.
