ATTITUDE LATTITUDE

 

Such was her attitude

She felt gratitude

For her beatitude

At ending her solitude

ODIUM

 

It’s in a state of disgrace

Resulting from detestable behaviour

Where hatred and contempt reign

And despicable acts are the norm

Simple pure unadulterated odium

Hatred and condemnation

Loathing and contempt

Disrepute or infamy

Hate coupled with disgust

Pure unadulterated odium

That’s why I avoid the forum

ODEON

 

When I was a kid

My sister worked

At the Odeon Wood Green

And got me in for nothing

I loved the pictures

And I went everyday

It was a special place to me

Of course, it was a far cry

From its Roman namesake

With its grand architecture

And hi-brow classical

Musical performances

But it was a magical place

Where I lost myself

In the flickering shadows

Of movieland

And escaped reality

SHE WAS SILVER HAIRED

 

She was silver haired

And her face was lined

But she was content

And felt blessed

To have lived long enough

To have grey hair,

And to have had

Such a happy life

That the laughter of her youth

Was etched into her face

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 153

 

Little Miss Muffet, sat on her tuffet,

Eating her curds and whey.

Along came a spider,

And sat down beside her,

And said, "is that stuff pro-biotic?

ARE YOU WEARING A FROWN?

 

Are you wearing a frown?

Is something getting you down?

It’s something I’ve done?

A broken rule? What another one?

Oh now what is that look about?

I’ve done it now, no doubt

Now your arms are folded

I’m about to get scolded

No I don’t have a clue

What I’ve done to upset you

If you don’t tell me I’ll never guess

The reason for your distress

So spit it out nice and plain

To avoid having to say it again

Ok so the reason for the frown

Is I didn’t put the loo seat down

WEST OF KINTYRE # 2

 

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 see

Rathlin Island clear as day

And Ballycastle just beyond
