ONE STEP CLOSER
For Sunday Scribblings Big Dreams
Thirty four year trophy drought
Devils, Potters would not quench
Silverware in short supply
Dream on hold for one more year?
Last night – Fantasy Football
Pensioners given The Blues
And those two Reds played their part
Minds more on Bridge than Stamford?
Double double re-ignites
Dream of City Glory Days
One step closer to Big Dream
European Champions!
But let’s not forget the past
Dreamtime era – Eighty One
Back in the day we promised
To pay our respects in full
When the dream we share comes true
We’ll look behind us, and say
“There’s no one quite like John Bond
He has helped us on our way”

GUESTS - GIFT - SHALLOW GRAVE
GUESTS
Feb 26, 2010 Diamond's 2nd birthday.
THANKS BE TO GOD
God’s
Greatest
Gift Granted,
Given Gladly,
Graciously Guarded.
Genuine Gratitude
THIS DAY
The day before tomorrow
The day he’ll meet his maker
Reflections of a sinner
Reflections of remorse
The gift of freedom, precious
That priceless treasure granted
To all men as a birthright
Now squandered without thought
The day after yesterday
The day of guilty verdict
Twenty four short months ago
Not twenty four long hours
If only he could return
If only… oh, if only
He could have spared a man’s life
He could have spared his own
This day, a day of hindsight
Today a day of regret
‘Forgive me for my weakness
Forgive my mortal sin’
He takes his tarnished treasure
He places it in a box
Buries his worthless freedom
In an unmarked, shallow grave
TOGETHER AGAIN
HAIKU BONES
นอน (NORN) – SLEEP

Close your eyes child, sleep
Immerse yourself in sweet dreams
May they all come true

NANO AMERICO^
It started with a kiss.
In front of the whole class, she felt embarrassed and slapped him on the face.
It ended in tears.
WALLS + WIRES
Excuses won’t be accepted for failing to get it right first time.
No second chances.

‘FOUND’ AMERICAN SENTENCE
‘It’s always raining over the border; there’s been a plane crash out there.’
From the song FEED THE ENEMY by MAGAZINE.

AMERICAN ALIAS
Western Movie star John Wayne was born Marion Robert Morrison.
AMERICAN MANHOOD
It’s an American Fact.
John Wayne thought ‘Marion Morrison’ was too sissy for a cowboy.
How American is that?
AMERICAN REVELATION
SHANGHAI NOON and SHANGHAI KNIGHTS tell us that the real John Wayne was Chinese.
NOT ONLY that; Chinese John Wayne was knighted by Queen Victoria.
BUT ALSO Chinese CHON WANG was a character played by Jackie Chan.
AMERICAN REMINDER
I told you I like comments that begin with ‘NOT ONLY’, ‘BUT ALSO’.

FICTION
For ABC Wednesday
And Monday Poetry Train Revisited
F – FICTION; FOUL PLAY?
FUNNY, as in ‘serious’
How Official Documents
Such as Death Certificates
Hold FICTION, stranger than FACT
Take the case of Mrs. ‘F’
Never a day of illness
No need to see a doctor
Not for the money they charge
Poor as a hungry church-mouse
Happy as the day was long
FIT as a FIDDLE one day
Looked like death warmed up the next
FIRST to go was her eyesight
Weeks later, she lost her mind
‘FRIENDS’ didn’t seem to notice
Her whole life was in FREE-FALL
She died one FRIDAY morning
Cremated that afternoon
Records stated ‘Cause of Death
FATAL FLAWS of advanced age’
No-one knows who’s signature
Adorns the unwitnessed FORM
Mrs. ‘F’ an OAP?
She was FORTY nine years old!

LIFE'S LOTTERY LOL
For Carry On Tuesday
'Life is a ticket to
The greatest show on earth'
DO THIS ZOMBIE A FAVOUR
One over the eight last night
One guaranteed consequence
Sunday morning hangover
Grating Turbo ‘new-toy’ growl
With deafening ‘Dixieland’
Klaxon blast, wakes the un-dead
I turn over in my grave
Like a bear with a sore head
I grrrind my teeth; grrrunt and grrroan
Blinding curtain-crack half-light
Exposes clouds, sets the mood
Scowling sky; wild, wet week end
Unfriendly neighbourhood noise
Suburban sound bite samples
Barking dogs; boys banging doors
Next door’s new disc, noisy din
TV tuned in, turned up (((LOUD)))
Jackpot wind-up, ‘Win, Win, Win!!!’
Last night’s Numbers Game result
No Lottery joy for me
Chaos builds up in layers
Spreads thick icing on the cake
…And for the Cherry On Top

I repeat for all I’m worth
‘LIFE IS the winning TICKET
TO THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH’
‘LIFE IS the winning TICKET
