Oil

Oil need to consider this to be sure
that our need for the stuff
is clean and pure
otherwise it would be rude
to use a resource that was crude

is there another way to power a car
that lets me travel near and far
in the comfort I desire
without the need for frequent flier
incentives or air miles
that gets me there whilst I’m all smiles

Bank Levy

The banking business is all to pot
Politicians talk tommy rot
A levy is the new idea
Sounds like another tax to me

Do you think they’ll raise charges to compensate
You bet they’ll tamper with the rate
They’ll moan about talent that will be lost
And will end up paying the cost

But how do we bring this dog to heel
Whilst keeping the economy on an even keel
We need joint action that all can agree
That helps restore the economy

If this meets the needs of all citizens
If it means just as much to the cocks and the hens
Then we can look forward to being well off
If not then they’re just having a laugh.

big bro

There is a show I do not watch
That’s always on TV
It’s called Big Brother
But even though it’s popular
It doesn’t appeal to me

it takes a variety of miscreants
and throws them all together
but all they do is bitch or moan
or sit around and blether

Poetry is

There is a way of building wealth
That most people don’t follow
It doesn’t leave a bad taste
And its easy to swallow

But not everyone has the ability
Or the opportunity
To what has to be done
To get through to me

If they have the talent
Or the inclination
They can write words that rhyme
and titivate the nation

it doesn’t have to be hard
or overly complicated
just make the words sing
and you’ll be highly rated

if you make people happy
and satisfy their needs
you’ll be always in demand
and be the one who leads

but remember to be humble
and thank God for your gift
for not everyone’s so fortunate
to have such imagination
and though it makes you feel great
to rhyme to the nation
to have tune that you can hear
is quite a revelation

but in the end
you have to share
with readers and with listeners
it’s the only way to comprehend
your brothers or your sisters

so lets give thanks
for all we have
for wonder and for beauty
for summer days and winter nights
for sour sweet and fruity
for everyone that we have met
for all creeds and colours
for babies, boys and girls
for fathers and mothers

for dogs and cats
pigs, elephants and horses
for birds that fly up in the sky
for wisdom and discourses

Thanks

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi has died

Abdelbaset al-Megrahi has died, The only truth is that somebody lied. We may never know the answer, Of who was responsible for the disaster? Should we cheer at his demise? Celebrate the pathetic prize Of an eye for an eye Or perhaps we should try To feel what the relatives feel The pain that is real The sense of loss Always paying the cost Living through the past Hoping that at last The truth will come out And there will be no doubt That justice was done And we can forgive And start afresh to Live and live.

time flies

its hard to belive that its almost a year
since I last provided a verse for here
was I busy, was I occupied
was i forgrtful had I died
no the truth is stranger than fiction
even without restriction
I had other things on my mind
so thanks for being so kind
and having such patience
let mereward you with freshness
