WAITING FOR MACCA
WAITING FOR MACCA
'Long tall Sally she's built for speed'
We're waiting for Macca
'She's got everything'
At Glastonbury
'That uncle John needs'
Oldest performer to top the bill
'O babee'
Not long now
'Yeaaaaah babeee'
We just can't wait
'Havin' some fun
Tonight’ !

ANOLINI
ANOLINI
Anolini – pasta shells stuffed with meat
And cooked in broth, is what we’re eating;
Steam rises from plates but there’s no speaking,
We sip Chianti to moderate the heat
The first to break silence admits defeat;
Parmesan a generous sprinkling,
Grated black pepper our noses crinkling;
Each Christmas a ritual we repeat.
This dish from the mountains of Ital...

JANUARY
When January wind its fist doth shake
And wooden fences tear from their places
When horses start, when cattle shelter take
To the hearth...

LOVE
LOVE
Love hides in the gap
Between sleep and dawn
In the space under stairs
The air above skies
And the void below ground
Love is neither left nor right
Up or down, in or out
It will not be confined
Like a ship in a bottle
Or restrained like a horse
With bit and bridle
Love keeps no appointment
If you ever meet love
It will spring out
Wit...

ST BLAISE
ST BLAISE
St Blaise is the patron saint
His image adorns the walls
Defender of Dubrovnik
Also patron of the throat
Once a year as a young boy
Two candles beneath my chin
Held tightly to form a cross
To celebrate the feast day
And to keep my voice from harm
The priest mumbling his blessing
We sail out of the harbour
Anchor a little way off

VALENTINES
VALENTINES
What starts as romance
Ends up as routine
With variations
For years in between
Anonymous cards
Carefully picked verse
Until you just sign
For better or worse
And each time you try
To write your own lines
You find out how hard
Are good Valentines.

HIDING IN SHADOWS
HIDING IN SHADOWS
When I don’t call
It doesn’t mean
That you’re not there
In my thoughts
When I don’t write
It doesn’t mean
I have no words
In my heart
When I don’t answer
It doesn’t mean
You have no place
In my soul
When I keep silent
It doesn’t mean
I have nothing
To impart
When I don’t pra...
