WHY DID THE PHILANDERER CROSS THE ROAD?

 

Why did the philanderer cross the road?

Well not just to get to the other side

The reason he wanted to cross over

Was so he could get to another man’s bride

ARE YOU WEARING LEGGINGS?

 

Are you wearing leggings?

That are baggy ‘round the knees’

As I can’t see them for myself

Can I have more details please?

I TOLD MY DAD

 

I told my dad “I want to be

A fortune teller init”

He said “Don’t be daft son

There’s no future in it”

WE LOVE YOU STREET ANGELS

 

They are a constant about the place 

They are the friendly face

Revellers stop on their merry way

And invariably they will say

As they lean at precarious angles

"We love you strangles"

TA TA TOGMEISTER

 

I woke up with Wogan,

With 8 million others

I even contributed in a small way

Like many sisters and brothers

 

And when he was usurped

By the upstart Evans

Anton Deck and I

Shook a fist to the heavens

 

When I woke to the news

Of the Togmeisters demise

A lump filled my throat

And tears filled my eyes

 

With his warm easy manner

Friendly, witty and clever

He has a new audience now

And I will be a TOG forever

WE USED TO HAVE AN OWL

 

We used to have an Owl

He was really cute

But he had low self esteem

So didn’t give a hoot

THE STREET ANGELS HAVE TROD THE PATH

 

The Street Angels have trod the path

For Five years on Woking’s streets

Armed only with Gods light

And their calming influence

They are Not preachers of the word

Nor are they there to evangelise

They are the doers of deeds

The holders of hands

And the wipers of tears

They are a friendly face in the dark

Or a soothing word in the confusion

A conduit to common sense

The Angels do not judge

Nor are they there to chastise

Angels listen with sympathetic ears

And speak in a voice of pleasant reason

They give up their time

For the lost and the vulnerable

And the over enthusiastic revellers

Until the last club closes.

The Street Angels

Do not police the streets

But they do tread the path

And they are part of the peace
