The hype of Y2K,Passed without delay.There was an irrational fear,Yet, had no glitches whatsoever.To find out, one needn’t be clever,After all, ‘twas just another year.The wee hours of 1st January,In the Isle of Capri,Merriment was underway.All laugh...

To obtain a college seat I’ve failed,As all my applications were rejected.Don’t look as if I’m fit to be jailed,Isn’t it enough I’m feeling dejected?All were fine like an engine well oiled,I was even soundly rested.Along the way, plans were foiled,I...

My school yearbook of ’81,Is the only reminder I have.All moved on to be someone,I’m the only loser left.With thirty-five pages,Though not thick,Also have quotes by sages;Flipping through, I’m nostalgic.Was the most memorable yearOf my entire school...

In the field, young men stood in line,Each struggled to turn his mind,Away from secure home life;Comradeship is keeping spirits alive. The war has just started,From loved ones, they were parted.Tears were shed freely at the station ---They’ll soon re...

We're staring at Our little world Fall apart. Hands tied, We keep watching it Collapse and crumble Into specks of dust Right in front of our eyes. As we keep believing in 'us'. Even if it means Starting all over again. Reliving the moments. Surprises...

As a skeleton, I return today ---There’s a story behind this.It began the second I went away,Against my father’s wish. I ran with a crowd,We became inseparable.To brotherhood, vowed,Life became unacceptable. Fond memories are many,Troubles there were...

The night is still young,Lots more fun to be had.Many friends I’ve rung,All are girls, only one lad. We’re going to the clubs,With various entertainment.A new generation of pubs,Suitable for our amusement. In town we’ll enjoy, planningTo be there for...

Although I’m plain,If you’ll be my missus,There’s no cause to complain;You’ll be smothered with kisses.I’ll smooch you every morning,Before leaving the house.When I return in the evening,There is one, also a new blouse.Will call you each hour,Just to...
