Yours Truly a Tried and True Philly Buster I
Prone to bloviation pure and simple rides on figurative high horse, which doubles up as my Plymouth Duster analogous to General George Armstrong Custer (blowing his i.e. mine little big horn) anonymous readers I unwittingly fluster poetic patina an artificial, superficial, yet beneficial ego boosting luster one mister re: man can muster. I (no surprise) become self absorbed with my own palaver drum ming across the...

Yours Truly a Tried and True Philly Buster Ii
poetically, and zealously oozing, gushing, bubbling over with faux snobbish suave re: pulse sieve literary fatuous haughtiness, and ludicrous narcissistic pre ning all the while chuckling to me self, and indifferent if some anonymous browser with Dutchman's breeches rolled up upon cresting wave over Zyder Zee disparages mine harmless badinage, hence if ye might qualify as such nitpicker, who doth cavill - dee crying wading thru quagmire of verbiage, a gentle...

Premium Member High Clouds Over Philly
With Apologies To Jerry Blavat It isn’t the statue of Rocky, Or that bell with the noteworthy crack. It’s not the fraternal affection, Or the bird crap on Billy Penn’s hat. It isn’t a cheese steak wid onions, Or a hoagie from Terminal Market. It’s not a soft pretzel with...

Premium Member Philly Bound
There is some great news I have found: Last year's Heisman Trophy winner is Philly bound. The Eagles have a receiver in which they can take pride. DeVonta Smith comes from Alabama's Crimson Tide. He can catch the ball, and blaze down the field. Plenty of yardage and points this young man can yield. So in Philly, there should be some...

Millie, Philly and Suse
Millie, Philly and Suse one night Sailing on a little row boat Lightly went on the waters of moon bright With a small baby goat "Where are you heading and what do you dream?" The small goat asked them in a soft gentle voice "We are dreaming of having a house in a field of wheat and cream With a mountain of...

Yo Philly
YO PHILLY Statuate Billy Penn who stands on tall And sits upon the antique City Hall To view and overlook the sky and trees There is a small metropolis to see And see our main Broad Street run both north and south Where all the lights adorn resplendent sights As in an airport runway in the night Along with staggered bistros in...

Me and Philly
He say he was blessing the game How well i knew his name Me and Philly We walked the city blocks Dropping crack rocks Three dollar shoppers Rattled and clanged I got some change A bit to stay insane My good man Better then the stuff time before last He grinned as he knew It was temporary relief From their permanent...

Premium Member From Philly To the World
I am going to present a bit of history: It happened a while ago in South Philly. A hot dog vendor ran out of wieners one day. He wasn't able to get a new supply right away. On that day, he invented something neat. Down to the butcher shop he went to get some chipped...

Premium Member Philly Dances
The mashed potato, watusi, and the twist, are old dances that I cannot resist. We don't have to go back in time to do those steps that are so sublime. They may have been popular half a century ago, but I still think they are the way to go. Those aforementioned dances all originated in...

The Day Philly Went Up In Smoke
Smokin' Joe Frazier, A champion in my book; Known for a patented wallop, The Philadelphia left hook! He never had the beauty, Of a Muhammad Ali; Frazier hit like a mammoth, While Ali stung like a bee! Bobbin' and weavin', From side to side; He never stopped punchin', 'Til the day he died! Many years ago, When I was just a kid; The Fight Of The Century, I remember what...
