WHAT GREATER COMPLIMENT
What greater compliment
Could be bestowed
On any man
Than to say of him
At the end of his life
“He was faithful and true,
And discharged, with fidelity
Every trust
Confided to his keeping”
I would settle for that
WHAT GREATER EPITAPH
What greater epitaph
Could be written
Of any man
Than to say of him
At the end of his life
“While upon his death
He has left no
Large earthy riches,
To his afflicted family
But he has bequeathed
To them a legacy
More precious than gold
More imperishable
Then monumental brass,
A spotless name”
NOT A FOREIGN INVADER
Not a foreign invader
But an alien being
Inside me
Living, breathing
Growing stronger
Day by day
While I weakened
And in its strength
Is the knowledge
That it will not survive me
Cannot outlive me
Yet it is content
To kill me
Knowing it will end itself
OPEN YOUR ARMS TO CHANGE
Open your arms to change,
With open mind embrace the new
Open your heart to new possibilities
But to your values remain true
YOU DO NOT SUFFER FROM FALSE MODESTY
You do not suffer from false modesty
That is clear for even the blind to see
But if ever there was a truth that mattered
Its, don’t interrupt when you’re being flattered
I’M A LITTLE DESPOT
I’m a little despot
Short and stout
Hear my people
Scream and shout
I say jump
They ask how high
If they don’t
Then they die
I am the chosen
But not by them
I am the chosen
I tell them when
I’m a little despot
So they say
See my people
Wake up one day

ARE YOU WEARING? # 5
ARE YOU WEARING BAGGY TROUSERS?
Are you wearing baggy trousers?
For any particular reason
They aren’t the height of fashion
They’re not even last season
You think they look “cool”
Whereas they look simply shoddy
I don’t know why you wear them
Unless you have a baggy body
ARE YOU WEARING PERFUME?
Are you wearing perfume?
I can smell it in this room
It’s a very seductive brew
Are you sure its not you?
Then the answer is clear
And your brother has I fear
With out our consent Suzy
Been entertaining a floozy
ARE YOU WEARING PRIMARK PANTS?
Are you wearing Primark pants?
Don’t you think that a little drastic?

To be let down by cheap elastic

Are you wearing flip flops?
I can’t believe you don’t know

About four feet of snow

Make you look like a sumo
ARE YOU WEARING A NURSE’S OUTFIT?
Are you wearing a nurse’s outfit?

Come and feel my pulse rate rise
Only you can now tangibly
Cure this poor patient’s malady
ARE YOU WEARING A MOUSTACHE?
Are you wearing a moustache?
And is that a shaving rash?
Well I’m really sorry Ash
But I think I have to dash
ARE YOU WEARING A FRENCH MAID’S OUTFIT?
Are you wearing a French maid’s outfit?
Does it come with all the kit?
The little apron and the hat
The black stockings and all that
With all the coyness you can muster
Reach up with your feather duster
On tip toes reach up high
So I can glimpse a bit of thigh
Then come back down to earth
And get to work for all your worth
ARE YOU WEARING A BEARD?
Are you wearing a beard?
Wow that’s really weird
With the way you walk
And on the phone when we talk
Well that has me in a whirl
I thought you were a girl
ARE YOU WEARING FALSE NAILS?
Are you wearing false nails?
Is there really any point?
After all you will just
Bite them down to the joint
Are you wearing baggy trousers?

You think they look “cool”
Whereas they look simply shoddy

Spiritual # 1
A GOOD TIME GIRL
If it’s a fallen angel you require
If it’s a good time girl you desire
Then any bar will fill your need
Pick any club and you’ll succeed
But if it’s for an angel you search
Then you should try the Church
You’ll find in any neighbourhood
A girl who uses her time for good
WE LIVE IN A CYNICAL WORLD
We live in a cynical world
So why should we believe
We think our politicians
Are programmed to deceive
We distrust anyone wearing
Their heart on their sleeve
So is it any wonder that
On the whole we disbelieve
Now doubtless you will tag me
As impossibly naive
But for me it is impossible
For me to ever conceive
Of a universe where God
Is absent from the weave
WHEN LOVE FILLS THE HEART
When love fills the heart
Until it overflows
There is but one thing to-do
As everyone knows
And that is to share it out
With friends and foes
If it’s a fallen angel you require
If it’s a good time girl you desire
Then any bar will fill your need
Pick any club and you’ll succeed
But if it’s for an angel you search
Then you should try the Church
You’ll find in any neighbourhood
A girl who uses her time for good
WE LIVE IN A CYNICAL WORLD

Relationships # 1
I DON’T TRUST A MAN
“I don’t trust a man”
(Normally that says it all)
That goes for most of them
“But I don’t trust a man”
Who doesn't close his eyes
When I kiss him”
MAIL CALL
I spoke into the envelope
Saying “I really love you Gail”
Then I sealed the envelope
And posted my voice mail
ALPHABETICALLY DESCRIBED
After fifty years of married life
And after being prompted by his wife
A husband set out to describe her
And this was what he said of her
"You're A, B, C, D, E, F,
G, H, I, J, K, L." He said sweetly
“And what does that mean?”
She asked suspiciously
"Adorable, Beautiful,
Cuddly, Delightful,
Elegant, Fragrant,
Generous, Heaven-sent.”
"Oh, that's so lovely
What about I, J, K and L?"
"I'm Just Kidding Love!" He laughed
And she made his eye swell
THE FINAL RECKONING
As she sat by his bedside
As his life ebbed away
His eyes filled with tears
And she heard him quietly say
“All through the bad times
You’ve been with me
When I lost my job
You were there to support me
When the business went under
You stood by me
When we lost the house
You stood beside me
When my health started failing
You were still beside me
“Do you know something love?”
“What darling?” she said thru the tears
“I've come to the conclusion
You’re a Jonah dear”
WOULD YOU MARRY AGAIN?
A wife asked her husband
“Would you marry again? If I died?"
"No, I would definitely not"
The husband lied
Good I wouldn’t want you
To get another spouse
Or have another woman
Living in my house
Or using my golf clubs
At the club on ladies day
“Well” he said “don’t worry
She’s left-handed anyway."
I WAS EXPLAINING REINCARNATION
I was explaining reincarnation to my wife
And how you return as a different form of life
She said she wanted to come back as a cow
She obviously misunderstood some how
I DON’T DESERVE SOMEONE
I don’t deserve someone
Thoughtful, warm and caring
I don’t deserve someone
Loving and understanding
I don’t deserve someone
Affectionate and true
I don’t deserve any of that
Which is why I’m stuck with you
WHEN YOU DIE - WIFE
“When you die”
I told my wife,
“Extinguishing
All signs of life”
Writ on granite
To survive the weather
“Here lies my wife
As cold as ever”
WHEN YOU DIE - HUSBAND
“When you die”
Said my wife,
“Extinguishing
All signs of life”
Writ on a plaque
Of shinning brass
“Here lies my husband
Stiff at last”
DOCTOR HUSBAND
The doctor and his wife
Were having a fight
At the breakfast table.
But before he took flight
From the tempestuous scene
These terrible words were said
In the heat of the moment
“And you’re no good in bed”
Later when he got home
She and another were in sexual union
“What are you doing?”
He yelled on the unhappy reunion
She replied calmly
“I was getting a second opinion!'
“I don’t trust a man”
(Normally that says it all)
That goes for most of them
“But I don’t trust a man”
Who doesn't close his eyes
When I kiss him”

A Humourous Selection # 1
A SOLEMN UNDERTAKING
When drivers choose to undertake
A risky manoeuvre is undertaken
But what they risk undertaking
Is an appointment with an undertaker
IF PASTA AND ANTI PASTA
If pasta and anti pasta
Came together
On one platter
Would it lead to disaster?
SHAMPOO MODUS
Bimbette was in the bathroom
And Clair shouted up to her
“You can use my shampoo
If you want to wash your hair”
And Bimbette shouted back
“Thanks but I can’t use it Clair,
It says it’s only for dry hair
And mine is wet to be fair”
BREAKFAST FOR MAISIE
This morning, mewing loudly
The cat greeted me
She clearly wanted her breakfast
So I gave her mewsly
GREEN BELT
Planning regulations only apply
It seems, to the ordinary people
The rank and file
Those without power or influence
Or the means to fill brown envelopes
Because to Politicians and developers
The only green they understand
Is cold hard cash
And they think that the green belt
Is just an inferior grade in Judo
FLY TRAP
When you’ve been to the loo
And you’ve done what you must do
You give a little tap, tap, tap
To shake the drips of the old chap
But as you try to zip him back in
You catch a little bit of skin
Which really hurts your old chap
When he’s caught in the penis fly trap
MATURE CONVERSATION
My wife of many years
Thinks that I’m immature
Why she has the opinion
I confess that I’m not really sure
She thinks we need to sit down
And talk the problem through
I think it’s a load of tosh
To be perfectly honest with you
But in the interest of peace I agreed
Though I don’t see the reason
But I told her I couldn’t do it
Until after the conker season
THE NIGHT BUS
After a night out at the pub
I drunk until I could drink no more
And in a disorderly way
I made my way out of the door
But being the worse for ware
I hadn’t walked very far
When I came to the conclusion
I was too drunk to drive the car
So I decided to take the bus
And I arrived safely at my door
Which was truly amazing
As I’d never driven a bus before
END OF THE LINE
My mate was so depressed
In fact he was suicidal
But he wasn’t dynamic
In fact he was bloody idle
So I took care of him
As a true friend never quits
I pushed him under a train
He was chuffed to bits
WHEN STEVE JOINED BOB AND JOHNNY
Steve Jobs has gone to glory,
He’s joined Bob Hope and Johnny Cash.
Now the familiar story is
No Jobs, no Hope and no Cash.

The Love Selection # 1
STRAWBERRY HEADED MAIDEN FAIR
All I can do is stand and stare
At the strawberry headed maiden fair
The girl with the shinning blonde hair
Oh beautiful maiden standing there
With tresses of reddish-blonde hair
Please be the answer to my prayer
ARE YOU THE ONE?
I'd like to give you the special key
That unlocks my forbidding heart
But I must be sure you are the one
I must know that before we start
Or the secret of the golden key
I would be unable to impart
I KNOW I PROMISED NOT TO CALL HER
I know I promised not to call her
But I just had to speak to Joyce
She smiled when she picked up the phone
I could hear it clearly in her voice
And how I needed to hear that sweet sound
A sound to make angels rejoice
And when she spoke my name
I knew I’d made the right choice
WE HAVE THE MOST PERFECT LOVE
We have the most perfect love
We fit together like a hand in glove
Because our love for each other
Is greater than our need for each other
FOR EVERY LITTLE THING ABOUT YOU
For every little thing about you
Every way you’ve showed you cared
For all the happy laughter
And all the happy times we’ve shared
For always being there
And being the essential part of my life
For just being with me
And for agreeing to become my wife
FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU ARE
For everything that you are
And for everything that you do
For all of this and so much more
With all my heart I thank you
MY HEART IS SO FULL OF LOVE
My heart is so full of love
Yet my words alone can't say,
They simply fail to express
What I wish to convey
I am just like an infant
Mumbling the snips and bytes
Of unformed language
To incoherently recite
I am like a foreign visitor
Trying to translate into English
Trying to formulate phrases
Instead translating into gibberish
My heart is so full of love
So why can I not just say
That I love you darling
Why is it so hard to convey
LOVE THRILLS
Hedonistic thrill seekers
Adrenalin junkies
One and all
Cannot surpass the thrill
You get from love
When you completely fall
And for pure danger
Nothing is more injurious
More painful to befit
Than when you’ve succumbed
And you are in love
And you then fall out of it
MY LIFE RUNS FAST AWAY
My life runs fast away
Like sand in an hourglass,
And with each grain of sand
Goes a moment in of my lifetime
Each moment is an empty one
Not spent with you
The moments are fast running out
As the grains of sand move on
And still I wait to meet you
ACCEPT ME PLEASE
Accept me please
Accept all of me
Every flaw and blemish
Every quirk and foible
For if love is as you say
Truly unconditional
You should accept me as I am
All I can do is stand and stare
At the strawberry headed maiden fair
The girl with the shinning blonde hair
Oh beautiful maiden standing there
With tresses of reddish-blonde hair
Please be the answer to my prayer
ARE YOU THE ONE?
I'd like to give you the special key

I am just like an infant
Mumbling the snips and bytes
Of unformed language
To incoherently recite
I am like a foreign visitor
Trying to translate into English
Trying to formulate phrases
Instead translating into gibberish
My heart is so full of love
So why can I not just say
That I love you darling
Why is it so hard to convey
LOVE THRILLS
Hedonistic thrill seekers
Adrenalin junkies
One and all
Cannot surpass the thrill
You get from love
When you completely fall
And for pure danger
Nothing is more injurious
More painful to befit
Than when you’ve succumbed
And you are in love
And you then fall out of it
MY LIFE RUNS FAST AWAY
My life runs fast away
Like sand in an hourglass,
And with each grain of sand
Goes a moment in of my lifetime
Each moment is an empty one
Not spent with you
The moments are fast running out
As the grains of sand move on
And still I wait to meet you
ACCEPT ME PLEASE
Accept me please
Accept all of me
Every flaw and blemish
Every quirk and foible
For if love is as you say
Truly unconditional
You should accept me as I am
