To Be With You
It may have come to your attention
And may disturb your comprehension
At my attempt at an abstention
And my apparent apprehension
To be with you
It mat require your firm attention
And some form of intervention
In quelling my dissention
And to discover my intention
To be with you
I don’t mind our revolve
I’m prepared now to devolve
Some power to you
I want you to involve
All I need is your resolve
To commit to you
Together we can convolve
If I don’t have to dissolve
And become like you
Your...

I Need You, Want You, Love you
Like bushes need roses
Like tissues want noses
Like brides love their posies
Like firemen need hoses
Like open wants closes
Like a tired bull loves dozes
Like the boss needs brown noses
Like a toaster wants toasties
Like big feet loves toesies
Like nits need nitpicking
Like panic wants stricken
Like glueing loves sticking
Like quicker needs quicken
Like ice cream wants licking
Like a tock loves clocks ticking
Like a banjo needs picking
Like slick-back wants slikin
Like you love fried chicken
Like your boyfriend...
Like tissues want noses
Like brides love their posies

Senses [ for the Senses Comp]
I choose blindness
As my selfish kindness
To save me from seeing
What hurts my well being
I don’t need to observe
What I don’t deserve
I do not witness
Your moral unfitness
To be my wife
I choose deafness
My hearing bereftness
To save me from hearing
Their jeering, you’re sneering
The audible is inaudible
Some would say applaudible
That I don't have to listen
To tales of who you’re kissin
You’re still my wife
I choose to be touchless
That way we argue much less
Expecting spousal rights
Always ending...

Inside My Skull
Inside my skull
Is an endless
Line of red
Filling cabinets
With yellow
Metal drawers
All of them full
Clearly labelled
I hate clutter
Drawer 1
Broken Promises
The type that really hurt
Drawer 2
Tomorrows
The type that never come
Drawer 3
I Love Yous
The type that was untrue
Drawer 4 – 164
Lies
The type that were bare faced
Drawer 165
Gossip
The type that killed my will
Drawer 166
Hatred
The type that I wasn’t aware of
Drawer 167 – infinity
You...

SKULL
I live inside my skull
Due to the erosion
Of my connection
To other people
And their hatred
Ignorance and stupidity
Humanity has pissed
So often on its chips
All I can smell is urine
And a whiff of Spam
I am done with people
Their need to kick
Their need to hate
Their need to hurt
And their need to kill
They are not allowed
Inside my skull
Ever.
I live inside my skull
Due to the erosion
Of the physical body
Mobility is, to say the
Least, fucking difficult
Constant burning pain
Electrical...

Fear
They say that fear is the key
But that does not apply to me
I will not be disassembled
I refuse point blank to tremble
You just can’t frighten me
I’ve got bigger fists than thee
You won’t scare me, you’re a fake
I wont shiver, I wont shake
My heart won’t begin to race
My pulse will not increase its pace
I won’t wobble like a jelly
Me? Nervous? Never on your Nellie
I am not a cowardie custard
I can surely cut the mustard
You can think all these are boasts
I’m not even scared of ghosts
I am not a runner or a hider
Just don’t...

Hot to Trot
Scenes of murder
Scenes of death
Lifeless bodies
Out of breath
Scenes of torture
Films of snuff
Naked bodies
In the buff
Scenes of hobos
Acrobats
Sheeps for shearing
Dead stuffed cats
Scenes of wildlife
Doris Day
All things straight
And all things gay
Gordon Ramsay
Mac and cheese
Doughnuts fried
In warmed up grease
Scenes of puppies
Folks that cry
Inanimate objects
Birds that fly
Nicker gusset
Bobby socks
Pony tails
Ladyboys with cocks
Scenes of muppets
All things sloppy, any...

Giving a Shit
She laughed from a distance
Up close, she was actually crying
Close up, she had something in her eye
At a distance she definitely winked at me
From a distance she smiled a sexy smile
Up close she was wincing in pain
From a distance she laughed a real belly laugh
Up close she was simply screaming
From a distance she swooned as she always did
Up close she’d dropped down dead
From a distance she looked just fine to me
Up close she was broken hearted
From a distance is usually the best policy
Up close I would have had to give a shit
Up close, she was actually crying
Close up, she had something in her eye
At a distance she definitely winked at me
From a distance she smiled a sexy smile
Up close she was wincing in pain
From a distance she laughed a real belly laugh
Up close she was simply screaming
From a distance she swooned as she always did
Up close she’d dropped down dead
From a distance she looked just fine to me
Up close she was broken hearted
From a distance is usually the best policy
Up close I would have had to give a shit

A Marriage of Emotions
A Marriage of Emotions
After a short engagement
Grief married Anger
They had a difficult marriage
Grief always getting
Followed by anger
Grief snivelling as always
Anger shouting and slamming things
They went for counselling
Guilt counselled both
Anger just got angry
Grief cried a lot
An intervention by Lust
Got the marriage back on track
They had two offspring
Rage and Sadness
Rage was the apple of Angers eye
Sadness was Grief to a T
Rage couldn’t make it work
Anger was just to angry
Despite Sadness and...

Monkey
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey sniffing Uhu glue
Hallucination juggling plates
Imagines having human traits
Not being bound by cage of wire
Dreams of making monkey fire
Fantasizes bananas fried
karaoke starry eyed
disco dancing, fever pitch
living lifestyles of the rich
smoking weed, snorting coke
tanning skin with sunstroke
drinking like a drowning fish
getting drunk, talking pish
beat my partner good and hard
lose at horses, lose at cards
humanity is easily mastered
turns you into an ugly bastard
monkey now stops sniffing...
