Miss Goody Two Shoes Returns
Whiter than white,
Purer than snow.
A virginal saint,
You'd like to know...
She's come back,
Back for more.
This murderous teen,
They do deplore.
Her new tale to tell,
Drenched in blood.
Victims slaughtered,
In a crimson flood.
She's been abroad,
A dark holiday.
With bodies strewn,
Their limbs astray.
She prizes her work,
So loves to play.
Home or abroad,
All are her prey.
Her razor sharpened,
Her killing arts honed.
Up close and...
Purer than snow.
A virginal saint,
You'd like to know...
She's come back,
Back for more.
This murderous teen,
They do deplore.

Drenched in blood.

She's been abroad,

With bodies strewn,

Life's Punch Drunk Chorus
In the fragrant bowl before us,
Five voices whose power combine.
Singing loud the mighty chorus,
Sweet alcohol makes life divine.
Juice of lemon, clear soprano,
Rings aloft its joyous peal.
Milder notes like soft piano,
From the tea as alto steal.
Sugar, like a rich contralto,
Tones the lemon's loftier flight.
Whilst the rum's tenor robusto,
Lends a choir its leading might.
Never forgetting to blend in,
Is the one on which we call.
To leave out would be a sin,
Pure water harmonizes all.
So...
Five voices whose power combine.

Lizzie Borden Took An Axe...
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
The police arrived on the scene,
Seeing Lizzie sweet and serene.
Two butchered bodies they did find,
Hack handiwork of an insane mind.
In court the judge did decree,
Lizzie's innocent and set her free.
Parents wealth she now possessed,
Murders easy her mind confessed.
When in hell the devil asked,
Did you perform this grisly task.
Take a chance an axe give me,
Grab a nap then...
And gave her mother forty whacks,
When she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
The police arrived on the scene,
Seeing Lizzie sweet and serene.
Two butchered bodies they did find,
Hack handiwork of an insane mind.
In court the judge did decree,
Lizzie's innocent and set her free.
Parents wealth she now possessed,
Murders easy her mind confessed.
When in hell the devil asked,
Did you perform this grisly task.
Take a chance an axe give me,
Grab a nap then...

Love Stole
Love stole all my diamond dreams,
And threw them back at me.
Shattered them and scattered them,
For each and all to see.
But I shall not shed a tear,
And I'll never hang my head.
I pitied Love and walked on,
For I'll dream new dreams I said.
And threw them back at me.
Shattered them and scattered them,
For each and all to see.
But I shall not shed a tear,
And I'll never hang my head.
I pitied Love and walked on,
For I'll dream new dreams I said.

The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Whilst my master sleeps his sleep of kings,
A moonless night cloaks spellbinding things.
Dawn will display death deceit and disaster,
For his apprentice shall become his master...
His locked Magic books were easy to unpick,
With beguiling night reads under candlestick.
Ungodly spells from times of ancient ages,
All stolen now from their well worn pages.
My dark deed done, the old fool lies slain,
An emerald fire spell to prolong his pain.
Rivals now my thorned wand will vanish,
Dismal death for many, others I'll banish. ...

The Dead Mad Poets Society
One needs to be a fruitcake,
Truth be told a complete loon.
Or more madder than a hatter,
All clearly barking at the moon.
For histories mad and manic poet's,
Displayed dark derangement and notoriety.
Poets who all deserved to be certified,
Members of The Dead Mad Poets Society.
François Villon stabbed a priest to death,
Then was banished from Paris for his crime.
His poems were of such an intricate form,
Composed in notorious brothels of the time.

Summer
Day by day the heat persists,
Don't know how I can exist.
Every day the blazing sun,
Awful lot of damage done.
Fall asleep no matter where,
From the hot and humid air.
Every day so close and fine,
For a refreshing swim I pine.
Dash right home and into shorts,
Give no thought to outdoor sports.
Grab a cooling drink and book,
Softly settle in a shady nook.
Seeking refuge in the shade,
In any deep woodland glade.
Enjoy a godsend of leafy trees,
And the balm of a brisk breeze.

Destiny's Child
Someone special,
That's who you are.
You're Destiny's Child,
Who will go far.
Your future is set,
Cast from higher powers.
By all that's good,
Amid heavenly bowers.
You're so unaware,
What you will achieve.
For all humanity,
In you'll soon believe.
Your soul is eternal,
And your heart too.
The light both shine,
Will guide all through.
Their broken hearts,
So many in need.
Endless lost souls,
You'll help to feed.
Upon this earth,
People's sins befall. ...

Inspire Me
Drop a dream into the water,
In a moment it is gone.
But there are many ripples,
Circling on and on...
When facing life's many worries,
All storms you will pass through.
You will garnish many strengths,
And new found courage too.
You have often felt trapped,
And so dreamed of being free.
You will fulfil your potential,
To become who you want to be.
For no goal worth attaining,
Is ever easy to achieve,
It takes work and dedication,
And the power to believe.
Believe in yourself.
Simply...
In a moment it is gone.
But there are many ripples,
Circling on and on...
When facing life's many worries,
All storms you will pass through.
You will garnish many strengths,
And new found courage too.
You have often felt trapped,
And so dreamed of being free.
You will fulfil your potential,
To become who you want to be.
For no goal worth attaining,
Is ever easy to achieve,
It takes work and dedication,
And the power to believe.
Believe in yourself.
