WHATS IN A NAME (24)

 

Does anyone think could Sharon Roe?

Does anyone know does Anders Flo?

Would anyone know will Davinda Singh?

Did anyone ever feel a Sting?

LATE

 

John Ellis worked hard

And spent his leisure time

Pubbing and Clubbing

Till late

Very late

This night didn’t differ

When he crawled into his pit

Much the worse for drink

It was late

Very late

When he awoke in the morning

Thick head pounding

He stared bleary eyed at the clock

It was late

Very late

Slowly what he saw permeated the haze

Dawning on him in the half light

And he cursed

I’m late

I’m late

He hurriedly scraped the ice

Then when he got in the car

The radio confirmed

He was late

Very late

He was a safe driver normally

But today he drove too fast

He took too many chances

Because he was late

Very late

He raced on to the motorway

Despite the spray and patchy mist

He raced on ever conscious

He was late

Very late

Bright red lights

Pierced through the mist suddenly

He braced himself and braked

Too late

Too late

His mangled body sat motionless

In the tangle of mangled metal

And his life ebbed away

Late, late

The late John Ellis

TOUGH LOVE AGAIN

In relation to a woman

And I know this is tough

No matter how much you do

You will never do enough

OUT OF REACH

A total lack of fitness

Is among my many woes

But I’m sure if God intended me

To repeatedly touch my toes

I think he would have put them

On my knees or elbows

DEEP THOUGHTS


You’ll find differences and comparisons

Quite interesting concepts

i.e. between a rut and a grave the difference

Is simply the depth 

TRUE LOVE

Love is in truth

Merely the delusion

That one woman differs

From another in conclusion

WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE?

 

The wise man and the fool

Are hand in glove

Impossible to distinguish

When they fall in love
