Cessna 9 to Base
'I'm not sure what I've got, Bright as a supernova In front of me it shot, Is traffic busy? Over.' 'Is that you Cessna 9? I'm giving confirmation: Night skies are clear and fine, What's your exact location?' 'Five thousand feet, no more, A rapid thing came my way And vanished with a roar Above the empty highway.' 'I copy that, stand by, Was it some plane you know there? Can you identify Or is a UFO there?' 'A light glowed red and green So fast I couldn't scan it! If that was a machine It wasn't from this planet.' 'Our sensors show no sign Of anything enormous, You'd best land Cessna 9 Back here and then inform us.' 'Above again I see The thing is moving slower, It's far too close to me, My god it's getting lower!' 'The line is not intact, You're breaking up, there's hissing, I've lost radar contact, Come in, have you gone missing?' 'They've taken me inside....' © |

Light of the Stable
And as Christmas Day Comes around once more, Let's try to remember what it's all for. It must have taken a while to compose such a lengthy piece. You have to remind yourself that Xmas isn't just about guzzling and drinking sometimes ![]() Welcome back by the way

Once I saw a comet with a wonderful glistening tail.

Hi guys. Not posted on here for sometime. But it is great to catch up with a few of your poems. I will try and read as many as I can and give some thoughts in due course. I hope you are all well. With December now upon us and Advent in full swing, I wanted to share a poem with you that hopefully reflects upon the true meaning of this special time of the year. Hope you like it.
Light of the Stable The night air was cool, not a cloud in the sky, And hundreds of precious sheep passed by. Shepherds were seated upon the rocky ground And heavenly glory shone all around. ![]() Am I spookily right? ![]() Anyway, nice to see you, LOVE the poem and I look forward to reading more of them

James walked down the street
And hoped he'd see a sheet But all he saw was Pete Who looked all neat Because he’d just washed his feet And had been sucking on Sandra’s Teet. |

May
May you spend the hours Where the bluebells sigh, May you see the flowers, Not just pass them by. May you sit and listen To a favourite song, May the river glisten As it flows along. May you taste the honey And enjoy good health Rather than the money, Therein lies your wealth. May some quiet thinking Help you do what's right, May a sun that's sinking Paint the skies at night. May you be contented When all roads are trod And when life's relented May you find your god. © |

here is a limerick about incontinence.
There was an old lady from Crewe who covered her buttocks with glue and when she sat down in the centre of town she made quite a hullabaloo |

Lyrics.
I've been listening to HEAPS of music lately ..... it's not just the tunes I love .... some lyrics are quite FABULOUS ...... here are verses from three songs which are stuck in my head at the moment.
No prizes for guessing the somgs ![]() ![]() ONE We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground Of how we found the same old fears TWO I'm a Porsche with no brakes I'm invincible Yeah, I win every single game I'm so powerful I don't need batteries to play I'm so confident, yeah. THREE When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse Out of the corner of my eye I turned to look but it was gone I cannot put my finger on it now The child is grown The dream is gone |

Great sentiment Musty. Your poem reminded me of this :
'What is this life if, full of care, We have no time to stand and stare.'
