Natures Revenge

Natures Revenge  

Man asked nature 

"What have you done to me 

Mortified my body and turned me into a tree" 

Mother nature answered in her defense, 

Clogging my planet with acidic, Carboniferous, filthy, spew, 

As the planet's mother, what else could I do?

now you can feel the effects of your carelessness 

See all the suffering your greed has caused, all the duress!" 

But man asked Mother Nature "what shall I consume?" 

Mother Nature replied 

with a sigh 

"You my dear will soon become a broom!"

Natures Dance

Natures Dance 

Sky Reading by A Chance of Sunshine

MY oh My don't get upset, don't cry, 
Put your bad thoughts in the breeze,
Let them go, let them fly, 
Dance daintily with the leaves,
For when your feeling blue,
Nature will always be there for you

My oh My don't spill your tears, don't cry,
Put all your hurt in the wind,
Sing out loud, don't sigh,
Let the hurt go, let it fly,
For when he's been unkind
Nature is there for you!

My oh my, share your true love,
 Put your heart in his soul,
Dance and soar like a dove,
Let your feelings go, let two become whole,
  For when you've found the one,
Natures tricks have been done !

It's All Relative

It's All Relative 

Street art by Vango Situated In Kilarney Ireland

If Einstein had lived today ,
Could if affect how we live, work and play? 
Would Albert  Einstein felt empowered ,
Or would he have spent hours and hours
Just  surfing and Googling on the internet !
Would he have wasted his capabilities ?
So never discovering the theory of relativity.
Instead maybe he'd have a blog,
Tweeting for hours with caffeine to slog ! 

What would have happened to poor old Einstein
If Cern had existed in his time ?
Those clever bespectacled boffins
Really would have caused him chagrin,
 Finding particles seemingly faster than the speed of light,
Which those boffins keep testing, to check its right
The little blighters that they found
Has stunned the world confused and confounded
 The pesky particles they call neutrinos,
Would surely have driven poor Einstein to vino !

If Albert had been alive today
Not made his scientific in roads, in his way,
Would cyberspace still have been a possibility,
Or is it all just a question of relativity ?

Dreamy Dragons ( Childs Lit )

Dreamy Dragons 

Natasha Head 

                                       The last two baby dragons 

That roamed the earth, 

Only blew fire of lava for mirth, 

Without big grown up dragons there to help 

They feasted upon only fruits, candy and kelp, 

Every day they frolicked around and jousted, 

Their wickedness diluted, slowly ousted, 

 The red,hot raging, fire that they breathed, 

Diminished daily as they teethed

Their skin that was very, very, dry and glum 

Turned bright, beautiful, rainbow colours that were fun 

So the fire breathing beasties of the past, 

Those bad ones were never ever going to last. 

Now all the dragons in our minds, 

Are now beautiful,colourful and kind!  

Breathing only stardust and moon beams

Popping up only in our fairy tales and favourite dreams!

Reach For The Sky

Reach For The Sky 

If we could put our head in the clouds, 

When our world become too loud, 

Could we use this as an escape, 

So our ills could evaporate? 

If we could stand way back, 

Could we cleanse societies plaque,

Clear up the unwanted debris, 

Allow our children to play free?  

If we could reach for the sky, 

Would it dismiss our earthly woes goodbye, 

Release us from financial cuffs, 

  So global markets let us pay just enough? 

So play in the clouds 

Where dreams are allowed, 

For if we lose all hope, 

This world won't cope 

 So Reach for the sky 

 Go on just try !

Spiders Beware !

Spiders Beware !

MK Citizen

Halloween approaches, 

 A time of witches and cockroaches, 

But there's a different invasion  

Creepy crawlies of another persuasion 

They've scuttled into Milton Keynes 

Spiders so wicked and so very mean

Occasionally they'd like to munch 

On humans flesh for their Lunch

They hide everywhere 

So on Halloween beware!

Of the black, shiny, creepy, critters, 

That if they bite will surely give you jitters,

Leave the spiders alone to play! 

Quietly leave and sneak away, 

 Tell a grown up what you've seen

Then trick or treat for Halloween ! 

This Story was reported in The Milton Keynes Citizen On October 17th 2011

Fatties

This weekend, I would like for you to choose a taboo topic and pen out your thoughts. Be as open and honest as you possibly can. If what you are writing begins to make you uncomfortable…good. The point of this exercise is to free your mind, expand your voice and challenge yourself to explore new ideas within description. This is an opportunity to learn how to overcome the uncomfortable and teach yourself how to use your words to define those things in a new way so that next time you are faced with one of those “taboo” prompts, you can go forth and be…

FATTIES 

I'm fed up with fashion magazines 

Who fill their pages with trendy diets, 

Purely designed for fat queens 

I know I should whisper this, be quiet, 

But I'm gonna shout it loud! 

Say it proud, 

I'm on a cream cake regime 

Yeah fatties ... go on scream ! 

I'm Not skinny ,just lean, 

Not bitter but wanna be mean 

I've had enough, 

Of scouring shops for clothes, 

That cling in the right places 

So fat people think it's fine 

To carry on stuffing their faces. 

I'm a middle age woman who needs some grace,

I don't want to wear kids t-shirts,

With the latest pop stars face, 

Manufacturer keep making  things

Bigger and bigger!

Fatties continue to binge and binge 

How is that suppose to help the obese figure? 

Those money making supermarket, 

Should make their doors real tight, 

That would surely help the fatties fight their fight, 

Clothes should be fashioned with less fabric,

Perhaps something in the fatties brain would then click 

My life shouldn't be made harder 

Because some people can't stay out of their larder 

I'm On a cream cake regime  

So go on fatties  SCREAM !
