Kids today don't know they're born. We had to work our fingers to the bone six days a week just to put a crust on the table. We never had Netflix or TockTick influencers giving us the low down on what colour knickers to wear.
There was just one channel on TV and it finished for the night when you'd stood up for the national anthem at 11 o'clock sharp.
There was no ketamine and all night raves in car parks, only rich people had cars. The phone was a smelly red box at the end of the street that swallowed your sixpences and pennies if you couldn't reverse the charges, not something you...

Gullduggery
No 'erring for the herring gulls
where once fish kept them fed
now wayward fries from KFC's
become their daily bread
On sunny days they swoop
to pinch our kid's ice cream
they never miss a wafer crumb
their beaks look awful mean
But we've bleached the coral white
and choked the seas with plastic
so in order to survive
the gulls have to get drastic
They're planning to escape
from Earth's impending doom
and they're working on a rocket
to colonise the moon
It's being built in...

Bombs of Anxiety
Was it such a quiet night
that I slept through world war three
for when I turned on the news
the bombs were falling free
I said my prayers for peace
to heal these troubled times
hoping God would intervene
and forgive us all our crimes
Some say He is dead
or his power is now diminished
I hope that isn't true
or else mankind is finished
I am weary from the worry
tired and teary eyed
deaf to those who peddle
the politicians lies
The world we leave our children ...

Feeding Frenzy
We're the filling in a World War sandwich
toasting on a political barbecue
the broken bread of Muslim and Jew
as stale as the Dead Sea scrolls
kept safe where hatred grew
Our dainty hors d'oeuvres
garnished with missiles and drones
tearing limbs like crusts
spat in the playground
then scraped up for later
because we never waste our food
Always hungry for another course
drooling on the menu of misery
guts thundering revenge
rumbling for the war in our DNA
and words won't make it stop
Humans...

Inappropriate Performance
I'd thought about them all day
the sea of Christian smiles
staring up at the stage
waiting to be entertained
but all left studying the floor when I told the truth
Limp handshakes and polite applause
all my fault
I knew they'd be easily offended
and it would have been easy
to give them what they wanted
the tried and tested from the times before
a sprinkling of grit in the lines
to guarantee a tear
with the pauses for laughter
measured and rehearsed
everything timed to a fine art.
But I won't be going back ...

Love's Lesson
Love said:
Follow me and I'll follow you
all the way to Kathmandu
where we can both forget
the worlds we knew
So I flew us there
at great expense
even though it made no sense
it seemed the peachy thing to do
to take our tea
in Kathmandu
Then she met a monk
and disappeared
though I didn't think it awfully weird
when she slipped away
tied to his beard
and I waited for a day or two
sipped tea alone
in Kathmandu
But enchanted skies
and temple dust
do not...

Growing Younger
I'm getting younger
every day
I gave up work
to go out and play
I look in the mirror
with a smile on my face
I can't see a wrinkle
there's not a line to trace
I used to walk with a stoop
but now I stand tall
my best friends
are a bat and a ball
I eat what I like
and don't watch my weight
with plenty of pudding
to fill my plate
My hair's growing back
and my abs are tight
my girlfriend tells me
I'm doing alright
We make love at weekends
and pick wild flowers ...

A Screaming Wind
His voice hurts her ears.
Piercing.
A mouthy earring.
Dangling,
on the edge of being silenced.

Ode to Filled Doughnuts
Just sit right back and hear this tale,
the tale of a faithful treat.
It started out as a lump of dough
and now it’s quite elite.
The bakers fried that lump of dough
and found it pretty grand.
And so they made a bunch of them,
to help their list expand.
They paired it well with sugar dust
and fruit with yummy cream.
They even cut the middles out
and glazed them to a sheen.
But best of all was when they found
a way to fill them up.
They puffed them up with jam and cream
and pushed the limit so extreme,...

For the Bastard in the Sky
There's a hitman in God's heart
and eight billion names on his list
Prayers and churches (like this)
only make Him laugh
If I was a drinker
I'd cry into my beer
and beg the Devil in us all to quit
but He made us
the way we are
His image
for a skin that doesn't fit
And so
we snort coke
smoke weed
stick needles in our ass
cut our arms to forget
We sleep around
steal from friends
strangle next door's cat
for shitting on the lawn
go to war
over who wrote which book
and some of us ...

Ode to Candy Salad
We have this thing, my boys and me,
we like to mix our sweets.
It’s so that I can guarantee,
everyone gets their treats.
One likes that and one likes this,
and I, well, I like them all.
It keeps our snacking full of bliss
and never starts a brawl.
We each pick our favorite treat
and dump it in a bowl:
sour gummies, licorice sweet,
chewy starburst makes it complete,
and everyone has control.
I shake it up and mix it well
(much like I’ve done this meter),
and everyone thinks my idea’s swell, ...
