Save The Planet & Your Heart
Save The Planet & Your Heart
The seed drill not the fracking drill
Will serve our country best
The vegetables not the beasts we kill
Will be humanities test
Plague is never spread
from the fruits of the earth
when we pay such a heavy price
what is a carcass worth?
From cattle, bird or bat
There spreads human disease
Letting the gristle and the fat

I love dancing
I don't seem to do it much
But I love moving
That I do everyday with Yoga
I love fashion and...

Hero
Once-upon-a-time, a barman worshipped the Sun.
Worked nights so didn’t see much of it

He called the Sun ‘Hero’,
believed it had six pairs of arms,
giant wings of flame
and the handsomest nose in the galaxy.
Made moons blush
