Alexander the Great - is part of the past
Just found in storybooks for he’s no more
But little Alexander Gazeley - is the future
For he’s just leaving 3 and crossing into 4

Up ahead there are still lots of dragons
And beautiful maidens to be saved
New worlds that he will conquer
It’s just the beginning of his parade

He is not afraid of doom and gloom
For he has no idea of what they mean
And he will shrug off all adversity
With the cheekiest grin you’ve ever seen

With determination – plus his two brothers
He’ll replicate King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake
But before he begins his arduous holy quest
He must blow out the candles on his Cake

For Grandad says enjoy each and every birthday
For once past - they will never come again
Plus to go off on a quest leaving cake behind
A boy would have to be – insane

I must profess that arrogance in others is my pet foe
But they don’t realize that their manner afflicts me so
For example - if I’m quizzed about a topic I don’t know
It doesn’t mean I’m stupid – I don’t know!

There are things about which I’m expert
I can expound because - I know
I can be amazingly knowledgeable and astute
When my personal subject’s on the go

It doesn’t really matter what’s the topic
But its hard to make people understand
Just because at times I prefer not to stand and gossip
It doesn’t mean - I’m the most stupid in the land

And if sometimes I don’t wish to make a comment
They shouldn’t sneer - and imply my IQ is quite low
I’m sick of uncouth people - one day I’ll up and tell them so
Because EVERYTHING is easy – once you know

I have a spectacular Chinese Garden
And you’re invited to take a look
But to highlight every aspect
I would need to write a book

For it covers many acres
And is enclosed by a fence two miles long
It’s really my private Shangri-La
Where I can wander all day long

It has so many types of tree
Both broad leaf and evergreen
In Autumn it is stunning with it’s reds and golds
Plus every shade and colour in-between

In summer the heavy scent of roses
Mingles with the breeze and permeates the air
And the hum of bees and dragon flies
Is therapeutic and washes away all care

There are several lakes and moon bridges
With a pagoda roofed pavilion to shelter from the Sun
Yes - When I am in my Chinese garden
Me and my God are one

There are bird songs in abundance
As they call out to their mates
The skylark and the nightingale
Are sounds you cannot imitate

The spring is really something special
As the crocuses and daffodils are suddenly all around
Heralding the end of Winter
And you realize that God has come to town

Yet I also enjoy the winter
With the comforting soft white calm of the snow
The lakes frozen hard and motionless
And the swans all busy searching for another place to go

Yes my garden is spectacular
It’s a paradise regardless of the season
But there are times when it contains a treasure
For a very different reason

For at weekends the tranquility is shattered
By the most precious sight of all
As across the lawn I hear a child shout
Hi Grandpa!. . . lets play ball !

Runaway Child, don’t have to take it anymore

Runaway Child, just walk out of that door

Runaway Child, no more chances to take

Runaway Child, it’s your choice to make

Runaway Child, aren’t you sick and tired of the pain

Runaway Child, here there’s nothing to gain

Runaway Child, you get treated like dirt

Runaway Child, get away from the hurt

Runaway Child, here it’s no use

Runaway Child, get away from the abuse

Runaway Child, you don’t have 9 lives

Runaway Child, take that step or dive

Runaway Child, why are you still there

Runaway Child, how much pain can you bear

Runaway Child, you don’t have to say goodbye

Runaway Child, say goodbye, when they DIE!

The Walrus and the Carpenter
Were a most unlikely pair
The Walrus with his tusks and whiskers
The Chippy with hat - and a pencil in his hair

The reason they were compatible
And they are famous for all time
Is because they were made the topic
Of a celebrated little rhyme

The Walrus had a wholesome look
And the Carpenter was wiry - and quite fit
They nattered as they strolled along
With amazing guile and wit

Had they been visually similar
They wouldn’t have been so funny
And the publishers of their antics
Wouldn’t have made much money

The wisest comment that was ever made
Was not made by a man – but Rat !
Deep in thought and contemplation
As there on a river bank with Mole he sat

To live on the river is just ‘ultra glorious’
It’s the one thing that will get my vote -
‘There is nothing half so much worth doing
As messing around in a boat’

Although Mole didn’t realize it instinctively
The significance of what was said
But he saw no point to argue and agreed
And gratuitously nodded his head

And that is where their friendship started
Just conversing and lolling in Rat’s blue boat
Yes a sunny day on the river is blissful
And unquestionably gets my vote

Gliding gently down the river
With a picnic basket at your feet
The river is so - enjoyably silent
That you can hear the stuff you eat

Yes munching sandwiches with your buddy
Extolling each other as you go along
It’s a rapturous euphorically intoxicating sensation
Its enough to make a Mole break into song

Yes ‘just messing about on the river’
Rat’s words are indelible in my mind
And in these days of motorways and airports
There is surly no better way to unwind

Messy Kappu
Kappu maharaj sat on the bed
Clothes soiled in yellow mess
Playing with a plastic ball
He wasn't bothered about it all.

Mamma took him in her arms
Felt his bottoms with her palm
"Kappuji, what did you do?
Let's quickly get you a panty new."

Jumbo House
Quick, quick, quick
Lay a brick, brick, brick
Make it stick stick stick.

You know whose house it is?
Of Jumbo the kid, kid, kid
That’s why it’s so big, big, big.

Do you know what will happen IF
even one brick comes loose - and
Jumbo trips on that brick?

Jumbo will take apart every
brick, brick, brick
He’ll make it quick, quick, quick!

So, no trick, trick, trick
Let’s lay a brick, brick, brick
And make it stick, stick, stick!

[b]The Cat and the Cartoon[/B
]The mouse in the movie came out of the hole
The cat watching the TV gave a low growl
There were no more mice in the house
She had seen to that
Cartoons are so cruel,
the tabby thought
Why should they make me dream of
the meals I no more have?
