Dorset Knob – Just The Job


So much is said about fitness food
To keep one healthy fit and strong
Enhancing verve and vigorous swerve
A lifelong hope we might prolong

Take a pilgrimage to Cattistock
The home of far flung fare
Where knobs are known to be high flown
Swaggered style and debonair

Join the fun in get togetherness
Take your biscuit let it lob
Display your loving roll in cheesiness
With sporty grace your Dorset Knob







Keep it up with a Dorset Knob

The Aim of the Game



The hungry sight of a meal in flight
Scents of guns among the roses
Where the calibre of hunters moons
Cover tracks where one proposes

Forestalling calculating curves
Attentive senses keyed
Delicate arts esteemed pursuits
Precisely marked at speed

Persistent plots in ancient toil
Huntsman gauging prey
Buckshot primed finely timed
Tis the order of the Frey

Ropey Rhymes




What trigger gives me motive force
To 'put upon' a page my thought
Charge must be laid on many bards
Whose word attractiveness I caught

Why do I need to read my mind
Laying claim to bright ideas
Teasing tempting super phrases
Raining clouds as sunshine clears

What is right about composing verse
When writing well above my station
To spread my bread and butter head
Inform and share my innovation

How will I track my unknown works
To not let thoughts go by ignored
Or miss the tense in making sense
Of all that inner well worth stored

What is it with this poesy thing
Writing rhymes in word connections
Sounding off preposterously
Disclosing many predilections

All Things Greek



In Greece the celebration tune
Is saying no to poverty now
Bones are blanched no meat in sight
No cash to splash no golden cow

Austerity is the loser here
It has the smallest pile of votes
Electing bigger spending sprees
Pumping bilge from sinking boats

Oh what the hell is going on
They joined a club of wealth protection
There is no sport in going short
Greece needs an urn or plate collection

Revelation Poe

In searching for beginnings
On how it came to be
On why one came to congregate
In most conducive conferee

Where to be among with those within
In moods becalmed auspiciously
Where mindfulness might permeate
Partaking rest obligingly

Placating maddest situations
To mend with heart’s diplomacy
To lend a hand and understand
With kettles pots and cups of tea

Tea is where a story takes you
When one seeks out certainly
Making sense of senseless boulevards
Declaring sipping’s guarantee
