WEST OF KINTYRE # 3

 

On the Mull of Kintyre

I stood atop the steep cliffs

On a day so crisp and clear

And looked out towards the west

Where it was possible to make out

Malin Head in Donegal

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 301

 

Hickory dickory dock

The mice ran up the clock

The clock struck one

But the others escaped unscathed

ARE YOU WEARING DENIM?

 

Are you wearing denim?

I didn’t know you could still buy it

It’s just like I remember

And it still smells like shit

MEMORY OF AN ELEPHANT

 

Apparently, my Dad

Has the memory of an Elephant

When he was a boy

He went Zoo and saw an Elephant

SIGHTS, SOUNDS, SMELLS, TASTE AND TOUCH # 3

 

Sights, sounds, smells, taste and touch

It’s funny the things that cause the memories to arise

When all of a sudden memory of my Brother flood back

It’s Barry White, Wine gums and Apple Pies

LIKE A GAGGLE OF GEESE

 

Like a gaggle of geese

The hen party traversed

The gaudy Blackpool strip

From bar to bar

And club to club

The tarty group

In their shameless parade

The legless slappers

Ended the night

Even more undignified

Than they had begun it

“If that’s possible”

Sitting in the gutter

In their own piss and vomit

I’M THINKING ABOUT TAKING A HOLIDAY # 6

 

I’m thinking about taking a holiday

But I don’t know where to go

One possibility is in suspense

That makes the adrenalin flow
