a very nice man has taken
full possession of my heart
he can keep it forever
if that be his wish

he's been running
running away all of his life
he's run from his parental responsibilities
he's been running for many years
he's a father of neglect
his children he did reject
he left them at a young age
he showed not an iota of care
he was so self absorbed
in running elsewhere
he's run a marathon
all around the globe
covering his tracks
should he be found out
he's used deception
cunning and guile
to avoid his children's smiles
his primary concern has been for himself
he's so in love with himself
he's had two families of children
and their mothers
had to fill the role
of both parents
while he was chasing
another piece of skirt
to satisfy his wanderlust
he's not a man
he's a mouse
he's run
well away from his fatherly duties
he'll die alone
and he'll be easily forgotten
as men like him
are very very rotten
he deserted his children
abandoned them
he had no love
in his hollow heart for them

let not your hope ever fall down
nor wear a frown
keep it growing
strong in showing

uplifting the spirits very well
with a cheery bell
it is sanguine
saying all's fine

so employ my upbeat message
for your usage
stay bright of tone
a buoyant zone

one minute the written piece
will be so nicely posted
then in the very next minute
it will be quickly unposted

an indecisive mind works
on the submission page
switching the on and off switch
with an unregulated gauge  

numerous times
this pattern
has occurred to confuse
numerous times
this pattern
frequently does get a use

before offering
any pieces for posting
the submitter needs
to be sure of the hosting

we've been perched on the hot seat
from this weather there's no retreat
a week of the sun pouring scorn
no wonder we're feeling so worn
day break confirms more of its beat

reprieve not coming to the pleat
air temps truly stifling of bleat
they're so draining our seared corn
we've been perched on the hot seat

summers not being a pleasant treat
consistent the burn of defeat
far too much of it did adorn
we await a cooler fall morn
to breeze in with a notice neat
we've been perched on the hot seat

Mr Abbott hasn't a snowball's chance in hell
Of getting the Senate to pass his tax sell
The numbers are stacked well against him
Passing this legislation is looking rather slim

He's been all around the country selling his pitch
But the electorate thinks its a *******  
Pressure is building up in government ranks
They know they'll receive a whipping to the flanks

Opposing senators don't want a bar of the bill
Within the next few months they'll be a spill
A double dissolution election shall clear the air
That will surely sort out what is and isn't fair

The voters require utmost sanity to prevail
As they've taken enough of Abbott's rude mail
The conundrum in parliament must be attended to
For it is causing one heck of a hullabaloo

Online is where Ian teaches late at night
His students live in an Asiatic land
The English language they seek to command
With dedication Ian shows them a light
How to speak the Anglo Saxon diction
His lessons deliver much needed skills
As the world is geared towards these drills
They're after a good qualification
Ian's valuable help in facets of English
Will give them a chance to gain employment
They strive to do well neath Ian's guiding wing
Fruitful learning is what they'll accomplish
University degrees of attainment
These goals Ian's tutorials shall bring

to-day the ones
I selected
rated well
on
the scale
which gave
a positive indication
my options
were hitting
the nail

upward of sixty five percent
and it continued to
track
without any worries
I would soon be
at the very top of
the stack

no one else can pick them
quite like
I can
I'm an ace
in the identifying
plan

said the lawyer to his client...

you'll be locked away
for all the misdeeds
you've done
ripping off your business partner
has bough you undone

said the client to his lawyer...

you've mounted the best defense
that you could
now it is time for me
to be incarcerated at Dartwood

said the lawyer to his client...

there is no chance of an appeal
a ten year sentence is your deal
this is what you get
for being such a heel

said the client to his lawyer...

have you no criminal stains
upon your wig and gown
I've been told that you're
one of the shiftiest lawyer in town

said the lawyer to his client...

the judiciary hasn't caught
me out yet
but in the future
it may find something on me
that's a good odds on bet

said the client to his lawyer...

none of us are above the law
and one day you'll be locked
behind a set of cast iron doors

said the lawyer to his client...

yes! I must admit
that over the past twenty years
I've been involved
in some shady ****

said the client to his lawyer...

we've both chosen a path
of shame
and a judge's gavel
shall always bring an end
to all illicit games

lost in a location, where am I
lost in a location, where am I
naught familiar to the eye, yet it seems real
naught familiar to the eye, yet it seems real
lost in a location, naught familiar to the eye
yet it seems real, where am I

in an illusory state, as the dreams of night
in an illusory state, as the dreams of night
blurred the imagery, awakening to truth
blurred the imagery, awakening to truth
awakening to truth, blurred the imagery
as the dreams of night, in an illusory state

light casts a beam, all in proper perspective
light casts a beam, all in proper perspective

children's creative crayons
must be encouraged to write poetry
a splash of blue  
a dollop of green
a hint of yellow
a touch of pink
this being an innovative
use of ink

let their artistry
blend the colours of words
telling an engrossing tale
about rainbows and rosella birds

fostering a child's interest
in poetic art
shall compose a life-long
expression to impart  

a palette of coloured crayons
ready for exploration
writing verses of boundless
imagination

glimmers of bright lambent light
flitted over the vast lake
they were like ballerinas
imitating swans

I'm on a high
I'm on a high
do you want to know why
I'm on a high

the man I love makes my heart soar
in celestial corridors
he's everything a woman
could ask for

that man of mine he's so sublime
I got to have his love all the time
how good it is
that I have his

his ****** of love
is such a strong bait
and it so fabulously
satiates

I'm on a high
do you want to know why
do you want to know why
I'm on a high

the weather is our most discussed topic
especially now that the conditions are so demonic
never has the sun been as hot as it is now
we've not stopped wiping our sweat laden brows

the weather reports around these parts state
that the heat isn't too gentle nor too sedate
ninety plus degrees for two long weeks
the mercury scaling and climbing very high peaks

the weather is akin to a rampaging bonfire
we cannot stand the sensation of it's ire
the heatwave is a constant ever does it remain
reprieve hasn't yet come to our terrain

the weather's sizzle isn't quite agreeing with us
the unkindness of it's searing we do cuss
we'd like the excessive sun's rays to be quelled
we've tired of the heat which they've impelled
