Sir Trevor of Tring

There was one incredibly curious thing
You`d notice if you met Sir Trevor of Tring

His chain mail vest , was actually string

And did not fit

Minstrels composed songs to sing
Because of it



Tis said, he owned a solitary coat
Made from rabbit , weasel and stoat
His tumbledown castle boasted a moat

Just one foot deep

Apparently, the builder`s quote
Was suitably cheap



His sword and shield were made of wood
And subsequently, not much good
Atop the mantlepiece they stood

On proud display

Well, Trevor hated the sight of blood
Anyway



Should a Damsell cry out in distress
Embroiled in some domestic mess
Trevor set out to impress her with his skill

Then made a note of the address
And sent a bill!

Two home secretary


Jacqui Smith
Unhappy with
Your husband viewing porno

I`ll bet when you get home tonight...

He`ll wish he was not borno....

Attack

There are no more tears

Though the hurting remains

In row upon row of organised dead.

Strange how order can be brought

To victims laid to rest

Better to order the living instead !

Willow

Outside my window
Willows weep
While night provides respite
And sleep

A land of dreams to set me free
My weeping Willow
Weeps for me

And if your heartIs hurting too

I pray a Willow weeps for you.

Robot Rocket Banjo Cat



Robot Rocket Banjo Cat
Is aerodynamic with fins
He`ll pluck your very heart strings
And melt your wheelie bins


Thunder in the alleyways
Will not linger long
Its Robot rocket Banjo Cat`s
Supersonic song....

Write right

In the absence of a rattling good read
I may strive to entertain you with a rhyme
Though I`m unaware of what it is you need
To ensure you have a scintillating time

Now the pen is skipping lively on the page
A sincere attempt at filling up the void
Living on the brink of writer`s rage
Deciding on the means to be employed

Unfortunately, it cannot be resolved
I`m off to make a cup of tea instead
And hope the squabbling players so involved
Desist from playing football in my head.

All things must pass

You smile and tell me
All this will pass

Might help if you put your foot on the gas.
