“‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” —Lord, Alfred Tennyson
love at first sight at the ceilidh
dancing 'round peat fires gayly
lad and lass equally smitten
love's peat fire flame in Great Britain
unprepared for love's twists and turns,
ill-fated love crashes and burns
dark and cold was the night she left
leaving the lad crushed and bereft
the lad laments the lass as lost
methinks he should have count the cost
of jumping into love too fast
prudent forethought may help love last

Brenda Bookman writes a book in Berlin ,
Full of suspense ,self-delusion and sensation, sequel
to one she wrote in Britain “Romance of Red Rose”.
Love blooms between a boatman and a blonde,
A city dame and a village dude, dare all odds
to be together ; this love they treasure,
Bond between this two is better than waves of the sea
which flows freely from the horizon,
This passion is pellucid and possessive ,
Even the writer is drawn into it,
Visualizing that this valiant becomes hers..
With a captivating caption—
“Blissful love between Brenda and the Boatman” .

This land I live on,
This nation so big,
It's been here thousands of years,
Customs and traditions loved by everyone,
We have our royal family and our queen Elizabeth,
We sing our national anthem,
Our flag the union jack we fly,
With pride we sing Rule Britannia,
I love my country it fills me with pride,
We have had our trial and tribulations,
The last few years have been hard,
We will not be cowed by anyone ..... ever,
This is our country our nation,
This is GREAT BRITAIN.

Mr Gherkin from Great Britain
Met Miss Pickle, USA
A cross Atlantic soirée
That was going A Okay
He looked her up and down and said,
“So how are you today?”
She looked at him and said, “Terrific,
now you’ve come my way.”
He said, “I love your nice green skin.”
She said, “I like yours too,
alas you smell of vinegar,
a little like I do.”
He asked if they could meet again
She told him, “On your bike.”
She said, “I don’t think we would work,
we’re just too much alike.”

lost love,
the roots of my soul run deep,
deep like the river in the mother land of African
my mind is complex,complex
like the mazes of Britain
my future is vague,
vague as religan
my strength is great ,
great like galieath
my love is lost
lost like the city of Atlantis

world war ii,
The teens that swung in God's skies
as death's grip was ever tugging at their soul;
in the blue, where their brother's spitfire squad
sneered at death, as each day took its ghastly toll.
Not long since, as children, they stared and
wondered if they fell, would the clouds catch them.
Comrades have fallen all around - friends/brothers
whose love and courage guide all that follow.
It is a beautiful blue and a quiet peace.
High, before the eagle dives, it screams so loudly,
praying that God's love and strength will guide,
so, at last, a trust to be caught by the clouds.

Their marriage has to be dissolved,
Nothing again to be resolved,
Twelve good years and problems unsolved,
Their priest had her of guilt absolved,
Mark who had thrice their problem solved,
Three is Lord God's Holy Number,
No case against her being sombre,
She'll stay right through the Judge's Gavel,
And then to Great Britain travel...
Joan: The Fed up with her Marriage,
Not planning to find the courage.

For seventy years over Grear Britain, she happily reigned
The adoration, love, and respect of her subjects she gained
She was glorified in the hearts of people around the world
Now, a mere citizen yearns to be in the realm of our Lord!

If Great Britain
Or England
Was ever to be re-named
What about re-naming it
Weatherland
Because if were to make a list
Of all things we are known for
Such as Football , Music , History and the Royal Family
The thing that binds us most and all of us talk about
Is our daily fascination and discussion
That revolves around the Weather
We complain when its cold and it rains to much
And we complain even on the few days that are hot
Us Brits are a Fickle lot that love nothing more
Than talking about the
Weather
1 Hell of a lot
