One day you'll need them flowers
Quality gold chest
make mine a double
to celebrate Elmers big moment
and i stayed at home most of the day
to rinse the tattoo
of bull
who otherwise showed no interest
nor regret
for storing flowers in coal mine

Audrey and Ringo
I knew Audrey Hepburn
when she delivered morning papers
before breakfast at Iiffanys
her cute hairstyle and sexy lips
i used to have a rabbit to you know
he played guitar in his hutch
sorry drums
his name was Ringo

hung up
Dont get hung up about Easter

they nailed him good n proper
spoilt the hippie party side o things
dont ya think
wait till Beltane
the nails will be
outa your hands
by then
n we can all
dance round the maypole

i may never go out again
I may never go out again
will have my meals pushed thru the letterbox
in dry oblong packages
sealing the letterbox up after i have eaten
for all letters will be return to sender
signed by Elvis Presley
when it is dark i shall go to bed
and when light i shall get up
i will repeat the process
everyday
every year
my beard will grow long
so none will recognise me
the police will raid my house for poetry
but i will be long gone
escaped thru the back door
to a waiting limousine outside
which will take me to the nearest Howard...
will have my meals pushed thru the letterbox

for Nino B
Beautiful Russian Nino
slim elegant winter wonderland woman
blitzes my dreams with elegant sexy slimness
a smile that thaws the cruel winter snow
and blasts me in to orbit
like space programme from soyaz

Snow lipstick for Miss Appelby
Snow has fallen
it dusts your lips
in sensual white frost
over your red lipstick
that melts as i kiss your mouth
i climb in to my 1964 school photo
holding it in my hand
caressing the gloss of faded faces
Ann Patrick what would you have been if you had not died of leukemia
Susan Russell pretty bugs bunny face girl dead now of cancer
Stuart Liggins kicking me
till my legs were black and bruised
and Sharpie always coming on top in team football
then all fresh faced and innocent
now they are all cracked n warped
I now have the eyes...
it dusts your lips
in sensual white frost
over your red lipstick
that melts as i kiss your mouth
i climb in to my 1964 school photo
holding it in my hand
caressing the gloss of faded faces
Ann Patrick what would you have been if you had not died of leukemia
Susan Russell pretty bugs bunny face girl dead now of cancer

till my legs were black and bruised
and Sharpie always coming on top in team football
then all fresh faced and innocent
now they are all cracked n warped

all is lost to a unfullfilled soul
All is lost
and sad
others egos
must be held up
as shining examples
and pushed in to the faces
of underdog
who never stood a chance
was cheated at birth
of swaddling cloth
no rights
or opinions
a whipping stool for eternity
crucified for decency
and damned for trying
and sad
others egos
must be held up
as shining examples
and pushed in to the faces
of underdog
who never stood a chance
was cheated at birth
of swaddling cloth
no rights
or opinions
a whipping stool for eternity
crucified for decency
and damned for trying

water of life
Poor young country girl
looks thru a rainbow of curved air
and tries to understand
the water of life
that slips between her fingers
in passing fashion
as her year subsides
and winter wine
becomes the fruit of life
looks thru a rainbow of curved air
and tries to understand
the water of life
that slips between her fingers
in passing fashion
as her year subsides
and winter wine
becomes the fruit of life

lotto sting
Man have winning lottery numbers
tattooed on bollocks
in case he get alzheimers
he will still have
winning ways
and success in old age
