Family
Family. Oh how wonderful!
Well sometimes, not always
Raising the kids,
teething and school days
Seeing them flee the nest
Oh what bliss, time for a rest?
But hang on, five years later
All over again you’re Mater and Pater
as yes, the Grand kids arrive
Nappies, bottles, as they grow and thrive
Arguments about how to bring them up
Nursery, the school run, oh ha...

Hold On
Now hold on to what you’ve got
I know you’re thinking
that you haven’t got a lot
But compared to nothing
You’ve got loads of things
and in the end
when the fat lady sings
There won’t be time to save yourself
Or the stuff you own
So no more time to whinge and moan
Just time to keep holding on

Life Cycle
The sun rising in all its magnificence
Feeling it sooth you and warm you
Relaxing the muscles and calming
Is very much like being happy and contented
The birds hovering above
Looking for food or nesting material
Squawking to make themselves heard
Very much like people as we look for work to clothe us and put a roof on our heads but complain as we might struggle to survive

Urban Poet Rap
Hey hear it and know it
I’m the Urban Poet
I perform all over this land
If you want some rhyme
and you like a good time
Come and watch my one man band
I write down what I see
But don’t mess with me
Cos I may write something ‘bout you
How you talk, how you dress
How you like to impress
All the ladies and all the men too
But the show goes on
And when ...

The Blue World Below
As I eagerly watch my TV set, the
commentator describes for us another world;
‘Forests of kelp flourish in shallow waters
in warm turquoise sea bed villages
Giant fronds rising up to heady heights
creating crowded thickets of life that
fight for food and space to survive
However the enemy in the shape
of sharp spiky sea urchins, descend quickly,
feeding endlessly off t...

Elaborate Subterfuge
ELABORATE SUBTERFUGE
By the Urban Poet
The agent unlocks his hard flight case
What few clothes he has in there he hangs
Then it’s a mysterious looking orange file
Placed on the coffee table for bedtime reading
Deceit and trickery are his specialism’s
Together with meticulous planning
All the parts to this mission, carefully arranged
The details complicated, in thei...
