Re: Roberts Poems (part 3)

Smashing poem RJ, nice to hear from you again, and your still on top form.
There used to be posters all over the place here left by potential politicians until a law was passed and they had to have them down by a certain date or face a heavy fine, it worked but they left all the white plastic ties still on the poles, we have old timber telephone poles in our area and they now look like those African Princesses you used to see in National Geographic, the ones with the extra long necks and all the necklaces around them.

Re: Roberts Poems (part 3)

my second pet hate
You’ll surely relate
It’s found ev’ry where
Over here over there

The Yanks brought it over
From Lands End to Dover
At the end of the War
Who would have foresaw

That by this century
All our streets would now be
Covered in gum
Then some more, son

It’s a national disgrace
Soiling every place
Discarding the gum
Spoiling for everone

The makers should be sued
It’s worse than dog poo
Let them clear all of it
We.ve had enough of this stuff

You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you
You'd be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive
You're just too good to be true
Can't take my eyes off you

Re: Roberts Poems (part 3)

Mighty waves crash over ancient rocks
Lone bird soars across stark cliff tops
Promise of good things still to come
A lifetime’s work is nearly done
Don’t look back or down
Take hold of life’s sweet crown
Look, the clouds have gone
Far away
Today
Splendid vista for ever more
Take me now to golden shores
