HOPE SITS

 

Hope sits

Upon its primordial throne

A constant, in a sea of change

An unquenchable thirst

An unsatisfied yearning

An unscratchable itch

When all else fails

Hope waits for us all

Since time immemorial

Till the end of time

PARAMOUR IN THE WINGS

 

Paramour in the wings

Mistress in waiting

The smitten kitten

With the concubine heart

LIFE INSURANCE

 

Life should be rewarding

Though not monetarily

Riches nonetheless

For premiums take many forms

But you can’t take out

What you don’t put in

So just invest yourself

And reap the dividends

THIS OLD HOUSE

 

This old house

With faded papered walls

And paint flaked and chipped

Rooms full of drafts

And murky shadowed light

Smelling of decay and neglect

And lifelong absence

The house needed something

No, the house wanted something

Amidst the cobwebs of yesterday

And the promise of tomorrow

The house wanted to be a home

FURRY, FURRY DICE

Furry, furry dice

Nodding dogs that nod all day

Look out on the motorway

With eyes that know the despair in my soul.

Hold-ups on the hills,

Stretched for miles like bitter pills

Take a break because tiredness kills

The signs say all across this land

 

To the tune of Vincent  by Don McClean

PUT DOWN # 47

 

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

If he says “Wow that dress looks good on you

But it would look even better on my bedroom floor”

Just thank him and say “No problem,

I’ll send it to you when I don’t wear it anymore”

BRITISH GIRLS ABROAD

 

British girls abroad

Fake tanned

Everything on display

Easy virtue

Easy lay

Begging for it?

Gagging for it?

Looking for it?

Perhaps not

But they know the way
