Poor Little Children
Are you one of those people who hate themselves?
If so, then I feel sorry for you my friend.
If you hate yourself how will you ever be able to like others,
Won't they just simply annoy the hell out of you?
There's every chance it'll happen on a downward spiral like that.
However, I would say this, my friend:
'Ok, hate yourself, but please, deal with it!
If you can't deal with it, let's see if I can help you deal with it.'
You've gotta deal with all the hatred you feel within yourself,
Because if you don't, it might get out of control. ...

New Beginnings
I've seen a change in you lately,
For Autumn has announced itself again.
Leaves are falling and the sun is stalling.
Everything's changing in line with you it seems.
And I sense you slowly banishing everything,
Everything that ever brought you to your knees.
Yes, you were dying too,
Like the way nature rids itself of decaying leaves,
Only to promote those fresh buds of spring again.
I picture you, looking across the prairie,
A few months from now.
Just standing there with your hands on your hips,
Your lovely blond hair...

Playing The Fool!
You treat me like a silly fool,
Whatever have I done to you?
Snide remarks, they come my way,
What is it I need to say?
I know I'm just a witless fool,
Why do you have to be so cruel?
I'm not just here to make you laugh,
Not only here to act so daft.
I've never heard you speak the truth,
Or even that you've made mistakes.
At least I can confess to mine,
Not that easy, a bit like rhyme!
But now I'm tired of playing the fool,
Just so I can amuse you all...
Sometimes I like to play the fool, ...
Whatever have I done to you?
Snide remarks, they come my way,
What is it I need to say?
I know I'm just a witless fool,
Why do you have to be so cruel?
I'm not just here to make you laugh,
Not only here to act so daft.
I've never heard you speak the truth,
Or even that you've made mistakes.
At least I can confess to mine,
Not that easy, a bit like rhyme!
But now I'm tired of playing the fool,
Just so I can amuse you all...
Sometimes I like to play the fool, ...

Heavens Above!
I love dawn's morning glory rise -
Pastel shades paint a brand new day.
Brightness shines, illuminates my soul,
Setting me up as I enjoy the rays.
The day wears on, birdsong follows,
Singing its tune all afternoon.
Later, the world seems at peace,
As the sun begins its slow descent.
I've enjoyed your warmth and your love,
Naturally there in the heavens above.
Thank you for shining all around -
My happiness found as you kissed the ground.
Pastel shades paint a brand new day.
Brightness shines, illuminates my soul,
Setting me up as I enjoy the rays.
The day wears on, birdsong follows,
Singing its tune all afternoon.
Later, the world seems at peace,
As the sun begins its slow descent.
I've enjoyed your warmth and your love,
Naturally there in the heavens above.
Thank you for shining all around -
My happiness found as you kissed the ground.

Tight...
It's good being tight, I mean a pair of trousers will last a lifetime,
And a tenner...all week at least!
Nurse a pint of beer all day and when it's your turn to pay...
WALK AWAY!
Being tight means you save loads of money for a rainy day -
You'll never likely see.
Don't worry about making friends, they will only cost more!
Yes, I've been known to stretch a pound so far...
It made the Queen's eyes water!
But...
I like VALUE, don't we all?
I'm not asking anyone to give it away but I do like 'cheep' & 'free'.
I'm...

Us V The World
There we stand, us against the world,
Talking about the injustice we feel.
We'll sit at that bus stop gassing for ages,
Trying to put the world to rights!
We probably look like a couple of grannies,
Airing our views against everything -
Spinning around in widening circles.
Powerless to do a thing about anything,
While trying to solve everyone's ills.
As usual we find ourselves back at the start,
The power being always out of our reach,
Controlled by some authoritarian geek -
An authority so out of control, it's bleak!

Think You Know Me?
You think I'm stupid, maybe you're right.
I think I'm stupid too sometimes.
There's only one side of me that you see,
A side of me you want to believe,
A side of me that's only one I reveal -
But is it really real?
You know me better than I know myself,
Keep on saying I should be more like you -
Not sitting still, parked up on the shelf.
But I DON'T like the designer jeans that you wear,
Or Fred Perry tops, but why should you care?
You've got it all worked out, the way you wanna go,
Full of ambition, no need to go slow. ...

Like Giraffes Do...
Cupping your face gently in my hands
Giggling, you don’t know what to do
As shyness momentarily overtakes you
Slowly I begin to stroke, stroking
Your eyebrows, yes your lovely eyebrows
I will start there
You start to relax
I move in for the kill, too soon...
Time to change tact, I feel.
Looking at your slender neck, I ponder
Like a giraffe, adopting its behavior...
Irresistible the way you lurch forward
Like a barmaid struggling to hear
I will tussle and fight for dominance!
Wow, I so want to kiss you now ...
Giggling, you don’t know what to do
As shyness momentarily overtakes you
Slowly I begin to stroke, stroking
Your eyebrows, yes your lovely eyebrows
I will start there
You start to relax
I move in for the kill, too soon...
Time to change tact, I feel.
Looking at your slender neck, I ponder
Like a giraffe, adopting its behavior...
Irresistible the way you lurch forward
Like a barmaid struggling to hear
I will tussle and fight for dominance!
Wow, I so want to kiss you now ...

The Front Line
On the front line, putting your lives on the line.
What thanks do you get?
Packed trains, double shift, no gain, more pain!
No bananas, not even a mask -
...to hide behind!

Minnesota Mermaid
You are watching me from afar but I am blissfully unaware.
I stroke my young brown hair, flicking it this way & that.
You like what you see, don't you?
It sure is hot today, I really could lick an ice cream,
Mmmm, that'll cool me down.
This weather makes me frisky; like shedding more clothes,
Risky, revealing a bit more ass; extra cleavage, yeah -
That's better.
I wanna take a dip in the pool; whipping off my bra & panties,
Underwater, where no one can see -
Unless you're watching me!
I will jump up & down, peeking...
