The man with the camera
The ancient boy's idea
That you can think without them
Those can quite seem...

Well in the queue by Simon Dainty

So you are well in the queue
Rise with the independent few
Life across the pond
Considers command and demand
The action man is presumably true

Oil does it -Toby Tonsil

Bob Public has a base of oil
It was traditionally coal
Deep inside the Earth
He exaggerates his worth
Time goes to meet end
A courageous new friend

Smell the sea
Smell the sea

They spend their salaries
On plenty of motorways
Must try a full tank
And spin their cranks
Quick as they can
Tripping in a loaded van

Smell the sea
Smell the sea

Still in the chair
Foot lifting and changes gear
That we cannot flout
Tycoon Bob P***c
Switches to electric

Smell the sea
Smell the sea
Smell the sea

“We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams; —
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample a kingdom down.

We, in the ages lying,
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself in our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

A breath of our inspiration
Is the life of each generation;
A wondrous thing of our dreaming
Unearthly, impossible seeming —
The soldier, the king, and the peasant
Are working together in one,
Till our dream shall become their present,
And their work in the world be done.

They had no vision amazing
Of the goodly house they are raising;
They had no divine foreshowing
Of the land to which they are going:
But on one man's soul it hath broken,
A light that doth not depart;
And his look, or a word he hath spoken,
Wrought flame in another man's heart.

And therefore to-day is thrilling
With a past day's late fulfilling;
And the multitudes are enlisted
In the faith that their fathers resisted,
And, scorning the dream of to-morrow,
Are bringing to pass, as they may,
In the world, for its joy or its sorrow,
The dream that was scorned yesterday.

But we, with our dreaming and singing,
Ceaseless and sorrowless we!
The glory about us clinging
Of the glorious futures we see,
Our souls with high music ringing:
O men! it must ever be
That we dwell, in our dreaming and singing,
A little apart from ye.

For we are afar with the dawning
And the suns that are not yet high,
And out of the infinite morning
Intrepid you hear us cry —
How, spite of your human scorning,
Once more God's future draws nigh,
And already goes forth the warning
That ye of the past must die.

Great hail! we cry to the comers
From the dazzling unknown shore;
Bring us hither your sun and your summers;
And renew our world as of yore;
You shall teach us your song's new numbers,
And things that we dreamed not before:
Yea, in spite of a dreamer who slumbers,
And a singer who sings no more.”

~Arthur O’Shaughnessy, “Ode”

cosmic -Toby Tonsil

Cosmic Colin went today
World in financial affray
Union tries to rank mess
Under fear of lucky success

Seeks a relevant ship to sail
Finds a cat near a tale
The police make a fuss
Consider this being less

The people are possessed
They revolted and practiced
Care about how they say
What is inside my pay?

~

Billy Buccaneer never even noticed
His peace they processed
Went through their binary cycle
And ended with a riddle!

MANAGED ON WEEKEND -Toby Tonsil 2023

Took time for a weekend
With people in their tents
The fella who managed me
He was a real priest
Keeps work of idle hands
Far trips in foreign lands
Knows not of travellers rest
The office that he frequents
Pays for what they send
Holds secrets of the ladies
Well behind free clear vision
Looks beyond the clean air
Eases business that is bad
Spreads news from the diocese
Questions a poor domain
Carry a knife and beware
Without concern of the mad

DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS -Toby Tonsil 2023

It is the forth dimension
Listen out for the bells
Reaching out the line of time
Late into the moonlight
The electric torch shines
The beat bangs out the roots
The wind howls around the house
Solidarity will never be free
Politicians must come undone
The colours are all wrong
The world since 1984
That comes at you hard
The attitude of the confused
Try to reckon them out
Up in the world of percentages
They keep their secrets
Life is a spinning sphere
We all live here
