Life has shaped me.
Into what shape
I am unsure,
but without it
I would be
shapeless

Where have all the good shops gone
those well established brands
High Street stores are disappearing
throughout this illustrious land

They sold such good value fashions
you could rely on their well made stuff
always within your budget
being with it was never tough

Every night I count my cash
and dream of what I need

I need a bargain
I’m holding out for a bargain until the New Year...

The fountain of
true knowledge
will never quite run dry
there will always be
new rhymes and dreams
for me to find and try

The trees grow very slowly
Until they touch the sky
Their years shall be the age of a man
And he shall never die

He sat aloft - that little lad
Upon the shoulders of his dad
Seeing his world from way up there
The gentle breeze ruffling his hair

How right and proper when small legs tire
To be carried by one’s sire
Strong hands clasp his ankles tight
He know the throne is his by right

The little chap enjoys the ride
And rhythm of his father’s stride
Who strolls along at ample pace
The youngster ...

In my pocket I keep
the key to a door
I no longer unlock
It’s not there anymore

As I embrace the internet
I feel like I’m the conduit

Amassing knowledge at a cost
I feel my sense of self is lost
I watch my life evaporate
Restart now for new updates

Reading through the latest blogs
By some well known clever clogs
I scarce remember my life before
Look out – its error 404

Always, always online browsing
What’s the current price of housing
Here's a house that loo...

Does some collective consciousness call time
To start the beating wings which drown the air
Compelled by instincts pressed within your souls
Such frantic chaos organized in shape

The vast formation fills the waiting sky
Your triumphant avionic chorus
Tells all the world the birds have purpose now
We stop, we watch, we contemplate this day

A subtle silence follows the departure
The sky...

Want to be rich?
You can buy a new life
Six numbers are all that you need
Remember the numbers that
helped you before
There’s no shame in poor man’s greed

Take a chance
Two quid a go
That’s all it costs
Two quid a go

Buy extra tickets
To even the odds
A fistful is only a pony
With your wallet full
Of cash to spend
You will never be lonely

Take a chance
Two quid a go
Th...

Most elegant bird, with plumage so fair
The song of your heart, you’re unable to share
For your first song shall be your last
Mirroring the future and echoing the past

Destined to stay mysterious and dumb
Until your throat is still and numb
With an eye so piercing and proud
You glide on the water like a snowy white cloud

As you sail away gracefully down the river
Your idle throat give...

Gardeners who don’t want to
Pollute with pesticide
Should try putting some garlic down
And spread it far and wide

They say it's a deterrent
To garden pests like snails
They say the smell repels them
But this explanation fails

Its mother snail's stern warning
That has left them sore afraid
"Remember Great Uncle Henri
He was sautéed"

First the sky was blue and covered with clouds
Like a patchwork of lace
The wind shouted in my ear
I could feel it rushing past my face

Breathing deeply with the air’s energy
I stood up tall and my spirit soared
At that moment I felt utter complete contentment
I was part of the wind as it roared

Next the clouds changed to mauve and grey
The setting sun tinting them with pink and ...

For too long now

I have been neglected

But in your loving arms

I feel protected

For all these years I have felt

Like an orphaned waif

But your warm smile just melts me

And I feel so safe

The love that you show me

Just moves me to tears

You hold my hand gently

And away go my fears
