The Flying Businessman

Pete the flying businessman

soaring through the skies

Paraffin Pete in his Cessna

every journey`s a surprise

living in Cirencester

giving life a positive call

working hard in Switchgears

instrumentations and all.

Pete has his claim to fame though

he schooled with our PM

learning with D Cameron

Wow!, are they buddies, then?

as Pete works hard and fast

his leisure time he needs

polo with its` chukkas

and pool, where he succeeds

Paraffin Pete, the flier

who always has a smile

say "Hi " if you meet him

our businessman with style.

Stormy Weather

with dark foreboding skies over head

the storm is not that far away

low black clouds rolling in

rumblings of thunder

rain is on the way

so take cover

by the fire

and stay

safe

🌧

Bombylius Major (Beefly)

This bee like insect

with stout hairy body

it`s long proboscis

seeking out some nectar 

hovers over flowers

 working hard to stay still

delicately veined wings

shimmering in the light

it`s ability to mimic

the humble bumble bee

is an amazing

feat of earth`s nature

with large compound eyes

helps it to see well

it`s long skinny legs

dangle while in flight

revealing that this bee

is a fly in disguise

Mr Bumble Bee

Loud buzzings announces
there is a bumble bee about
visiting from flower to flower
collecting the pollen while out

his big fat striped body
held high on stubby wings
buzzing around everywhere
following directions from one that sings

love to hear him as he goes
its a sign that summers here
pollinating the fruit trees
I salute him with a cheer!

17th anniversary of losing a wonderful husband, father, and soulmate.

Steve

I can not believe it`s been so many years

since you got your wings and flew away

know you`re watching over us from up above

wish we could have found away for you to stay

days can be so lonely without you here with me

 life is brightened by our children, I'm filled with pride

I need to feel you arms around me at this time 

day by day we walking hand in hand, side by side

so Steve, just know that you were very much loved

missed more since you were given your wings

I`ll raise a glass to all our wonderful memories

and a cheer to all the adventures that life brings

Eye in the sky

As darkness falls

with the setting sun

this blood red moon

can begin it`s run

so large and eerie

silent as it goes

caught in earth`s shadow

as onward it flows
