VISION

 

Who is this vision in the summer’s light?

Adorned in cotton dress of white

Shrouded in the scents of summer days

The vision backlit by the summer rays

The sunlight makes her naked in my eyes

A vision of beauty under summer sky’s 

STRESSED

 

I gave up the fags over a year ago

I miss them now so much you know

I’m overweight by over fifty pounds

I’m getting old and getting round

My house is far too small to fit

And I have no money to extend it

I’m now leaving middle age behind

My face is really creased and lined

My hair shows age without a doubt

What isn’t Grey has now fallen out

With the same work for thirty years

Giving all, blood sweat and tears

I’ve hated my job I really have to say

But needs must at the end of the day

The job I hate I've been doing so long

Where oh where did I go so wrong

I should feel heartily depressed

All broken, strained and stressed

But life’s not so bad, God forbids

If you happen to have a wife and kids

IS IT ART?

 

Is this talent or just invention?

Is it genius or just pretension?

“Half the air in a given space”

“Coral reef” or an image of “Grace”

“Opium”, or “the Magnificent Seven”

For the critic’s manna from heaven

“Bewitched”, or “the upright figure”

And others to make you snigger

Even a picture of “Liz smoking”

Is this art? you must be joking

A CAUTIONARY TALE

  

Since the time

I had unprotected sex

With my next-door neighbours daughter

I’ve had this itch

And I’ve had this rash

And I’ve had trouble passing water

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Eco friendly products do they pay?

That’s what the manufacturers say

I have read on the weed killer lids

That it won’t kill any of your kids

And it won’t kill the family moggy

It won’t even kill the family doggy

But does it kill the weeds pray tell

No, it just makes them a little unwell

SOMEONE PUT THE CAT OUT

 

Will someone put the cat out?

Please don’t make me shout

To put the cat out is my one desire

So, put it out because it’s on fire

THE LONDON EYE

 

The London Eye

Is a giant wheel

All white and bright

And made of steel

It’s slowly turning

Round and round

Offering views of London

Above the ground

Famous landmarks and

Sights dramatic

The nation’s history

Panoramic

Old visitors express

Sentiment

In children’s faces

Wonderment

But all agree

It’s worth the fee

To ride the wheel

The sights to see
