Wrestling World

In his corner, boots and trunks, 
Trying to look brave, 
Eyeing me both down and up 
Wondering if I'll cave 
To his demeaning, bullying gaze 
His pecs and biceps pump 
Hoping that his menacing stare 
Will cause my throat to lump.

But I, though leaner, can deceive, 
Good tactics I will use, 
My lithe and supple, agile form 
Will aid to him abuse. 
With 'pins' and 'clothesline', 'headbutt', 'kick', 
And 'diving elbow drop', 
Weakened by my high 'back kick' 
With final 'backhand chop'.

He tries his best to rally round 
To submit, he'll not yield, 
The ref, though, sees his flailing arms 
Decides, he must concede. 
But undeterred and utt'ring threats 
A rematch he insists 
He leaves the ring, frustrated mood 
While pumping iron fists.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

I love you dad.

    I told my dad, while on his bed, assuming he did sleep, In hospital, [ he'd not come home ] with tears my eyes did weep, “I love you dad” Then hugged him tight, while feebly he replied “I.............love...............you................too..............son” THAT’S the thing I cherish, since he died. With forty years age difference, while young, we were not close. He wasn't very tactile and nor was he verbose, But as we aged, did closer grow, in ways he’d show his love, We’ll meet again, don’t know the ‘when’, – the ‘where’? – in Heaven above. I then went out to my car after this and bawled my eyes out at having had this special moment.
