Living life in cartoons
A happy life in Looney
tunes
Incomprehensible
croons
Beneath silvery moons
Shooting at pink
balloons
With captain Ahab’s
harpoons
Spending Sunday
afternoons
Chatting with baboons
Playing cricket in the
dunes
With chipmunks and
raccoons
Eating out of date
prunes
With runcible spoons
Wedding dresses are white
As a symbol of purity
A statement to the
world
And a promise or
surety
Well, that’s the
tradition
But in truth there is
more
Wedding dresses are
white
To match the kitchen
decor
My sister has a new cleaner, Eastern European
But she’s a bit slack
It takes her
5 hours to Hoover the house
One use of a goose
Is as a guard goose
As part of their charm
They give the alarm
However, guard geese
Aren’t easy to cease
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was black
as night
But it’s not PC to
call it black
So, she calls it dirty
white
How awful is insomnia
I can only imagine
I don’t suffer myself
As soon as pillow
meets head
I sleep like the dead
My wife suffers terribly
She just can’t switch
off
It’s like her very own
Rolling news programme,
she said
News 24, all night in
her head
In 1984
The world changed
Irrevocably
It became darker
More foreboding
Not in an Orwellian
way
But the sun was cooler
The wind sharper
The future more
uncertain
That was 1984 for me
Because in the space
Of just a few short
weeks
Tommy and Eric died
