Poet Introduction
The truth sets you free. "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." Winston Churchill.
BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

You
Reassuring and safe,
I like how I can come to you -
Knowing you will never judge.
Of course you'll express your view.
But everyone follows their own path,
However stupid, however smart.
Understanding, it's what you do!
I turn to you when I feel stuck,
Cos you always have the answer -
Like someone's beautiful mama would.
You hate that expression,
But I find you endearing.
Showed my own mom your image last night -
Asked her what she thought...
'She's nice, Billy,' she said,
Despite knowing nothing...

Drawn To You...
I feel drawn to you,
Totally drawn by your wild and crazy ways -
Like a painter is to canvas,
Like windows are to curtains,
And a butterfly is to cabbage...
Like boxers are to punching,
A harmer is to cutting,
Hot dogs are to mustard,
And a dog who has his bone.
...Lost souls finding their way home
I need you like a river needs to flow,
A drug addict can't say no -
Like all the best-laid plans,
Like, I'd like to hold your hand.
Yes, I'm totally struck by your 'WOW' factor!
My heart sinks like a hot...

Stoned At Starbucks!
I found myself stoned -
Stoned in Starbucks, actually.
The queue was long, it helped!
Was there any place finer to be,
Any state better to be in,
As I gently sipped my freshly ground -
NOT FOUND ON THE GROUND, coffee?!!
Remember...
Don't leave the house 'til you're totally stoned,
As today could potentially be your last -
And if you get through, it'll still be a blast!
Just roll with it cos you'll gather no moss,
No, NOT Kate Moss -
Always preferred Taylor Swift anyway!
Come join me in long conversation, ...
