Unclassified

(Picture Credit - Howtogeek com)

Please don’t view me as white

Or working class

Maybe middle class

Or straight or gay

(I happen to be straight)

Or Leaver or Remainer

Believer or Non-Believer

Aristocrat or Commoner

Patrician or Pleb

Or Anything else.

Don’t put me in a box

Or file

Or stereotype.

I’d rather be Unclassified

Or seen simply as

A Human Being.

Memorable

Whatever you write, make it memorable.

Just as memorable as Ivan the Terrible.

No need to be incredible

Just make those words indelible

From that mind of yours

And also theirs of course.

I used to think that rap

Was not very good.

Haha.

But now I see

Those rhymes so right for me,

And even raps that scan.

Yeah Man!

There’s always time

For a rhyme

Sublime.

Just let them chime.

These rhymes they staple things to your brain

To help you remember every refrain.

Things passed on by word of mouth

From Arctic regions right down to The South.

Remember, remember

That month of November.

Something that sticks

With each dying ember.

Keep aware of the power of words,

As musical as a flock of birds.

Do give in to the urge to write,

To make our day so gloriously bright.

Let's Go

(Picture Credit - All Blacks from Curias)

Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.

Let’s have a really great show.

Let’s fly just like an arrow,

Faster than a sparrow.

We know we are the best.

Let’s put it to the test.

Prove we are worthy champions

From The South Pole to the Grampians.

Just see our motivation:

Our hope is our foundation.

We’re full of self belief

And going to cause some grief.

We know we are so great.

To play we cannot wait.

Once more unto the breach:

A win’s within our reach.
