The SATS Wibble Songsmiley -


There's a flib'ble and a wib'ble

And a gib'ble (quite a few')

There are pib'ble and some snib'ble

And a phib'ble (found in dew')

But the Kibb'le and the Rib'ble are for real

I'm sure you knew'

When you look' like a Duke'

Who has fal'len in the glue'

Boom' Boom' Boom'

That's a flib'le and a wib'ble

And a gib'ble yes it's true'

I got my towel smi'ley

I got it yes I do!

Boom' Boom' Boom' Boom'
Money Market Blues 2011 version-

They floated the dollar
they floated the yen

and the price of gold
was set by five men.

Invest your funds and the trouble begins

Chorus
See the carnival barkers and the circus clowns

the duck in detergent is floundering around

Would gold float on mercury if it ever tried?

would petro-dollars paper the skies...

----~~~---

The banking stocks are dropping low

When they hit bottom who will know

there's stock analysts playing blind mans bluff

None of them knows when he's had enough

Chorus
See the carnival barkers and the circus clowns

the duck in detergent is floundering around

Would gold float on mercury if it ever tried?

would petro-dollars paper the skies...

---~~~---
the profit markets are getting tight

As men in a tunnel,are searching for a light

There's a train on the track and it is headed for you

Now Senator,tell me what will you do.

Chorus
See the carnival barkers and the circus clowns

the duck in detergent is floundering around

Would gold float on mercury if it ever tried?

would petro-dollars paper the skies...


There's a train on the track and it is headed for you

Now Broadcaster,tell me what will you do.

When the money market blues are affecting you

Yes, BBC it's affecting you too.

So say goodby to old hootoo
yes say goodby to old hoo too.

NEXT DECADE

Another Decade has gone by

See those years oh how they fly.

It's been more than a decade on h2g2

With something old and something new

I've got my smiley -
and my smiley -

I wrote my share for the EG

Now fresh winds are blowing

Oh what will we see

When we say goodby to the BBCsmiley -



I cannot hold a slithe togue
Or ride a flying llama
But I am certain,
here,today,
We cannot blame Obama



O hickory dickory dock,
A pelican flew over the clock

But BP was slick
They did a quick trick
And stopped him from cleaning their clock

  Chantsmiley -
Are you out my friendly guardian stars?
Are you out tonight?
I come asking lend me strength once more
and take away my fright.

I See you looking down on me
Now Peeking through a Palm

And I begin my chant

Strenthen me ye near yet distant stars
Strenthen me O Jupiter and Mars

Strengthen me ye plants of natures realm

strengthen Me,
Christ, master, at the helm! Strengthen Me.



We get so weak in today's world

Where threats are heard and spears are hurled

We Need his strength to stay the course

When doubts and fears abate the force

Then I begin my chant
Strenthen me ye near yet distant stars
Strenthen me O Jupiter and Mars

Strengthen me ye plants of natures realm

strengthen Me,
Christ, master, at the helm! Strengthen Me.

The Music of the spheres
The music of the spheres
Is vibrating in my ears
Speaking of universal truth
Its ways still lasting through the years,
Speaking of the cosmic laws,
Ordering orbits without pause,
Galaxies unfold before my eyes
Each holding its quota of surprise.
The dancing of the days
the sorrows joys and fears,
Out in the brim-full empiness
Out in the cosmic stream,
I sit forever all transfixed
Watching the Earth arise. smiley -
October Poem
Leaves, Leaves, coloured leaves
Around the hickory tree
This hitchhiker is watching now
The maple oak and old beech tree.
It's a long way to Bay de Noc;
I go without a towel.
The harvest moon is shining smiley -
The wind begins to howl.
It's autumn in the Great Lakes States
It's putting on a show.
We all have mixed emotions though,
Because too soon the cars and trucks
Will skate upon the snow. smiley -

The Reluctant Phoenix

There is a day in the life of a phoenix,


A day to reach and end.


A day to put a stop to tricks and leave every friend.


I know it is not death I face,


But rejuvenation in its place.


Still the price is just too high -


Forget my friends, my past, my all.


Must I submit to the siren's call?


But I am old, my wings they tire.


And I will die without the pyre.


Still I hate to enter the fire,


And forget the things I know.


Yet I must go - I go.

The Phoenix, young and strong and brave


Rises from his fiery grave.


The past forgotten, the present his all;


The future looms before him.


He rises to the call!


For centuries he'll go forward.


He would not pause nor wait.


He is a young and mighty bird.


Only the old would hesitate.
