Thought I'd leave that to you, you are the one with the 'intimate' knowledge.

Farewell beautiful Lugano

Hello Mr AJP. Wish to dedicate you the next poem to what can be my next location (not sure yet...).....


Farewell beautiful Lugano

my sweet land,
driven away guiltlessly
the anarchists are leaving,
and they set off singing
with hope in their heart.
It is for you exploited
for you workers
that we are handcuffed
just like criminals.
Yet our ideal
is but an ideal of love.
Anonymous comrades
friends who remain
the social truths
do spread like strong people.
This is the revenge
that we ask of you.
And you who drive us away
with an infamous lie,
you bourgeois republic
will be ashamed one day.
Today we accuse you
in the face of the future.
Ceaselessly banished
we will go from land to land
promoting peace
and declaring war,
peace among the oppressed
war to the oppressors.
Helvetia, your government
makes itself someone else's slave,
a brave people's
traditions it offends
and insults the legend
of your William Tell.
Farewell dear comrades
friends of Lugano
farewell white snowy
Ticinese mountains
the knight-errants
are dragged to the North.

Rose are red, violets are blue,
I have constipation, so it's damned hard to poo.

There is no such practice within Freemasonry.

Poor old Churchy. Still "seeking the light"!

However while you were being buggered by your local Priest he may have imparted such superstition in your bigoted little mind.

How Aulds yer Granny SB ?

My Grandmother is 854, my Mother 8561.

Alfie, can you tie a bow?

Lilies are white,
Violets are funky;
If Darwin was right,
I'm the son of a monkey.

Yes, I know, but it's funnier this way
