(1)If you’d found a way to hold your own against the playground bully, Would you go to school reunions now, and share old classroom tales? If you’d opened up, so counselors could understand you fully, Would the knowledge they’d acquired have taken more wind from your sales? (2)If you’d stood up to your father, when [...]

At 16 young Eben designed a device which would rapidly miniaturize The boy and then teleport him to the place of his choosing at much reduced size. He used it at random, and found himself suddenly out in a lady’s backyard. The 21 year old housewife soon detected his presence; and his way was barred. [...]

(1)Young Tom visited his great aunt, until he was ten years old, And soon after his next birthday, her old mansion would be sold, Since she died, and he would miss them both, as nine years changed the date. He completed school, did two years work, and started college late. (2)At the end of his [...]

I went walking the Hills, and then climbing the rocks, And carelessly stepped on the Moss; Who delivered a lot of unbalancing shocks, While trying too much, to be boss. Though I usually found my feet able to grip, At this time, I started to skid. So I panicced, and had to inevitably slip, To [...]

Well I’ve never bought a garage, but my searching never fails To provide me with some novelties, at all those garage sales; And I don’t think I’d be interested to own a pachyderm; But White Elephant retailing’s how to end a school’s third term. I’ve a china cabinet (from a second hand store) filled with [...]

If I take a shred of 1980s time, and clutch it tight (From when optimism shined, and felt no need for second sight); And contain it in the formula, that I’m preparing now, I can climb the trees in modern woods, and never break a bough. Should I snatch a scrap of Paris, clasping firmly [...]

(1)My first Blue Mountains journeys were on Sydney’s country trains, With scenery improving, once I’d gone past Emu Plains. I did not know the passengers around me, but perhaps one Might care to play a card game, since we’d only come to Lapstone (2)I closed my vintage fiction novel fast. So I could then look, [...]

I’m now sworn against hypocrisy, which lets me poke and prod All the minor faults of Christians, while I miss the love of God. I defend my rights to swindle you, as long as I can pick One cathedral in a hundred, where the dead have caught the quick. So I shun the men, who [...]

Professor Brint was 30, when he built his best invention: The Chrono-Car, and used it to explore the fourth dimension. He revved it up, and traveled back through 23 years’ history, And then the engine used up all supplies of his magistery. Now trapped back when his childhood self had only just turned seven, And [...]

Is she waiting in the snowfall of an unseen distant plateau, That still lives today on Christmas cards all packed up now? Is that so? Would the lamps that light the pathways put a glow upon her face? Are these images of fantasies all gone without a trace? Is she staring from the window of [...]
