ARE YOU WEARING SENSIBLE FOOTWEAR?

Are you wearing Sensible Footwear?

They are a kind of stout boot

And with your skinny legs

I think you look rather cute

THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 8

 

There is knowledge I need to know

I’m sorry I don’t mean to blether

But why do they call “flats” apartments

When they are all stuck together

CHESTNUT HEADED MAIDEN FAIR

 

All I can do is stand and stare

At the chestnut headed maiden fair

The girl with the shinning brown hair

Oh beautiful maiden standing there

With tresses of shinning brown hair

Please be the answer to my prayer

HOW WILL I COPE?

 

How will I cope?

I don't know

But I’ll have to

Life has dealt the cards

And I must play them

Or fold them

Quitting is not an option

So I will have to cope

And I will,

I must

I have to get on with it

Stop feeling sorry for myself

And play the hand

Life has dealt me

And by determination

Win the pot

THE HARDEST THING TO SAY WAS GOODBYE

 

The hardest thing to say

Was goodbye

But it had to be said

It took resolve

As hard as granite

But it was said

It wasn’t for the want of love

There was love aplenty

On both sides

But we had grown apart

Sought different goals

And though the regret was deep

The last thing we said

Was goodbye

THROUGH SILENT TEARS

 

I look back through silent tears

To those long forgotten years

When love was young, as were we

And you were to shy to speak to me

And I was to scared to speak to you

But some how we muddled through

And by some kind of strange detente

We spoke whispers full of loving want

And together spent a very happy life

A very happy husband and wife

Yes we certainly muddled through

Until I had to say goodbye to you

But soon we’ll be together dear

And I won’t have to shed another tear

I HAVE A PICTURE

I have a picture of you

A picture in my head

Of you lying naked

And breathless on your bed

In your eyes is a plea

Though words are unsaid

To leave you again breathless

And naked on your bed
