SALISBURY VIEW

 

The late September sun

Bathed the water meadow

As sheep graze the lammas

In stark relief against the blue

Like a great golden arrow

The spire points heavenward

LOW EXPECTATIONS

 

I find that in my life

Low expectations are advised

Because I am rarely disappointed

And often quite surprised

MEMORY MAN

 

I remember the words

To every number one

Since 1968

Every single one

But for some reason,

Not that anyone cares,

I can’t remember why

I walked up the stairs

WOMEN ARE NOT MOODY

 

Women are not moody

Not a bit of it

It’s just they have days

When, let’s face it

They are not prepared

To put up with the shit

DON’T THROW IN THE TOWEL

 

Don’t throw in the towel

When times get tough

Because no matter how bad

No matter how rough

It doesn’t really help

Because you see

Throwing in the towel

Just makes more laundry

WHEN MY GRAN GOT OUT OF BED # 1

 

When my Gran got out of bed

And suddenly felt chest pain

She knew that she had only

Stood on her nipples again

SOME PEOPLE COME INTO OUR LIVES

 

Some people come into our lives

And leave footprints on our hearts

Others tread softly leaving no traces

 

But then there are the ones

On who you want to leave boot prints

All over their stupid faces
