There was a man who took the bus,
in order to avoid the fuss
of being stuck in traffic-jams...
but then he just had bags and prams
and people piled on top of him,
while being at the drivers whim-
it felt to him a bit like rape,
as he was squeezed (in sardine-shape!)
into a tin on wheels which went
extremely slowly 'round the bend--
and then inched past the traffic-lights.
The road was filled with epic fights
for parking-spaces: One could see
heroic deeds of bravery.
The air was filled with rising plumes
(like gun-smoke...heavy exhaust-fumes),
while knights in armour wheeled about
in Fords and Nissans. At this rout
the streets were lined with second-hand
car-salesmen: for this merry band
of brothers saw a chance arise
to make a killing. And these boys
were cheering on the combatants-
while at the same time, at a glance
were seizing up the damage done:
Just as in times now past and gone
the undertakers used to measure
the size and shape-- at their own leisure--
of those who did participate
in gunfights- to precipitate
the manufacture and the sale
of coffins. Our man went pale…
And as the bus did slowly rattle
past all the carnage of the battle
(with vultures circling overhead)
the man did watch, and thought he had
quite wisely chosen in the end-
for bags and prams and people tend
to be the lesser evil when
compared with what is outside. Then
he finally did manage to
get off the bus. Well- yes, it's true:
He'd missed his stop two times already,
and so he walked- slowly but steady
a dozen blocks back to his car.
A parking-ticket from afar
he could make out: They clamped the wheels!
He turned quite sharply on his heels-
A dozen blocks he slowly walked
back to the station. He was stalked
by two used-car-salesmen, which he
tried to ignore deliberately;
and with a minimum of fuss
he bought a ticket on the bus
and home he went- where he did find
that he had left his keys behind...

A beautiful lady with long straight hair,sexy eyes and skin so fair.Lips so moist,like a waterfall spray.. Fingertips so soft,like a silk covered beret.She longs for a man,who's love is not rough.A gentle heart but can be still tough.She wants to be held,each and every night and feel his arms pull her close and tight..As they lay there together and fall fast asleep,she will know his love is true and will never be cheap!!

There was a young lady called Sam,
one day caught the number nine tram,
she sat beside the conductor,
who naughtily loved her,
and now she's pushing a pram.....

In Internet I came across a panoramic view of Milky Way,
The pic is so impressive - just see the link attached!
The galaxy of which our sun and solar system are a part
Is a broad band of silver light that arcs across night sky.
The Milky Way contains as much as 200-400 billion stars.
Among the constellations that it passes through are
Carina, Perseus, Cassiopeia, Auriga, Sagittarius, plus
Gemini, Scorpio, Aquila, Cygnus, Crux.
A band of dark divides it into half,
And yet another region dark called Coal Sack of the Crux
Is just the clouds of matter dark that blot out light from sight.
It is arrayed in form of disk with central elliptical bulge
Of stars packed closely towards the Archer constellation bright,
Surrounded by discus marked by six (not sixty!) spiral arms,
Which wind out from the nucleus in giant pinwheel style.
Because of arms the Milky Way was called a spiral galaxy by us.
Our sun is in the one of smaller - Local or Orion - arms.
It lies about two thirds of the way from disco’s central place -
Some 28,000 light-years far and in galactic plane.
The stars, gas, dust that make up Milky Way
Are grouped in two broad populations that suggest
How Galaxy evolved.
Like other galaxies it grows, absorbing smaller ones.
With Magellanic Clouds it's now merging - Small and Large,
Which process will be over in about 100 million years.
(We'll live and see whether it's true or just a fancy write!)
Dwarf galaxy of Canis Major is to collide with Milky Way,
Deprived of stars pulled by the Way it's losing former shape.
This dwarf is from the solar system 25,000 light years away
And 42,000 light years far from center of the Milky Way.
It’s closer than the Archer galaxy that runs in Milky Way,
Some other galaxies are on collision course as well.
The most spectacular collision will take place
With Galaxy of Andromeda then,
Whereupon within about two billion years of time
The massive tidal gravity effects will tear arms apart
And break those pinwheels into shreds,
Resulting, mind, in an elliptical - not spiral Milky Way,
(Far from the best of options for our solar system as I guess.)

Can I go back in time
To a sunny summer field
In its rhythm of peace
I watch as life slows
Peering over the dash
Through the windshield
I close my eyes and seek
Such memories like those
A child of the sixties
Far as a flower child goes
The last of my kind
The world will ever know
A lover of color patches
Sewn all over my clothes
Fading in some subtle hues
Into my dungaree blues

Instead of working horseback and following the cow
I could be afoot behind the horse and following the plow.
Sleeping soft in a cabin, cuddling a baby, being a wife,
Clear water, and home cooking, a settled kind of life

That's far away, far, far away from the fix I'm in here now.

Here, my belly is my blanket and my back my only bed,
Stone the only pillow on which to lay my bloody head;
Can't even wallow a hip hole where I lie on solid rock.
No one to sing a sad song, no prayers, no soothing talk.

I'm so alone, so all alone, it will be a comfort to be dead.

A stumble on the rimrock; horse and me both took a spill
He's down, bad hurt and thrashing, beyond my reach to kill
To relieve his pain and misery, so I guess we share our fate
In this lonely place so far away where help will come too late.

And the relief that is my rifle is gone, long gone downhill.

Death won't be long in coming and I hope I face it brave;
That the pain will treat me gentle so I'll not rant and rave,
Cursing the God who made me, or blaming him for this fix
Let me mind, instead stay clear and resist those devil tricks.

And to the end, the very end, thank God for the life HE gave.

As clear and compelling as the clang of a dinner bell
Is the horse's futile scratching at the ground on which he fell,
So the buzzards glide and slide down a drain of azure sky
Studying the menu; watching, waiting for supper to die.

And bones, lonely bones, will be left, the story to tell.

Soon my Maker will be asking if I lived the golden rule
And wonder about my learning in HIS earthly mortal school.
I'll answer for every wicked thought that ever filled my mind
While hoping they'll be balanced by the times I acted kind

So the tally shows not evil, rather, fool' mere human fool.

I sing alone , tryin' to comfert my pain
wanna forget your memory
In the darkest Shadow
Can't see you in my way
And I walk and walk till im gone
Can't find a light or a thing to say

But I hear That .. Hello
I don't wanna turn back right now
I might see who broke my heart
That Voice that i know from million years
Deap inside me im cryin' out my tears
The one who said it all and disappeared
The one that said without me
he's not complete
But You see ..with you Im incomplete
How can I when im losin' what i beleive
And I don't wanna turn back right now

Clunk!…
The front hinged vertical swing door shuts,
Click, click, the five point harness eased on,
Key turned…..Clutch floored,
Induction....Compression, ignition, exhaust…..
Quadruple Hollies suck for all they’re worth,
Transmission “U” bolts take up the slack,
Accelerator depressed and clutch let out,
Black on black……
Low profile Firestones under four wheel drive torque,
Leave hot rubber on tarmac…..
Following “H”, the guided stick,
Faster in changing than automatic,
Roar punctuated by hiss of turbo dump……
Singing on song……
Four cylinders, three hundred and seventy horses……
In one lump!

For all around i hear
the voices of the
young asking for peace
to be supported by
every end.
They want war to stop
and peace to begin.
They can not believe
how long the war has
gone on for.
I wait patiently to
see if this will happen
in my time or for thee.
I pray to God for him
to bring peace for
all of his country.
I devote this to my
fellow comrades who
serve with me and
now protect this
C O U N T R Y.

thank you everyone!
