ADVERSITY MAKES FOR STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

 

Adversity makes for strange bedfellows

Is how they put it proverbially

But in my house estranged bedfellows

Makes for a good deal of adversity

THERE IS A SHORT CIRCUIT

 

There is a short circuit

In the wiring of my brain

Which torments me until

I have Equilibrium again

But I’m unravelling

Like a ball of twine

An unwilling victim

Of my malicious mind

Medication will help

To redress my rationality

But it dulls the knife edge

Of my personality

VOICES RAGE IN MY HEAD

 

As I sit in the silence

Voices rage in my head

As it wrestles with my heart

Who should I trust?

The logic in my head

Or the love in my heart

ORACLES

 

Inspired by the Gods

In Classical Antiquity,

Oracles gave wise counsel

Prophetic predictions

Or precognition of the future

As they performed their Oracular

Form of divination

In temples to the Gods

TELETUBBIES NEWS # 1

 

Breaking news, a Theme Park

For the Teletubbies is planned

But it only features one of them

It’s to be called Laa-Laa Land

ARE YOU WEARING YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE?

 

Are you wearing your heart on your sleeve?

I know you’re in love that I truly believe

But I still don’t know if you’re in love with Eve

Or if your preference is for her brother Steve

PICKUP # 23

 

When you’re on the pull

If you want to break the ice

Say something funny

Or say something nice

Be devastatingly witty

Or say something clever

Be complimentary

Or just lie in your endeavour

“I know milk does a body good”

Is something to get her thinking

“But what I want to know

Is how much you’ve been drinking”
