GRIEF HITS LIKE AN IRON FIST

 

Grief hits like an iron fist

Cloaked in a velvet glove

But grief is the ultimate price

We all have to pay for love

THE WORLD IS A COLD AND EMPTY PLACE

 

The world is a cold and empty place

Devoid of beauty

When you fall out of love

Colder and emptier still

When someone else

Falls out of love with you

FALLING IN LOVE IS A BEAUTIFUL THING

 

Falling in love

Is a beautiful thing

And love does make

The world go round

Being in love

Is a beautiful thing

As long as the world

Keeps turning

Fall out of love

And the world stops

With no beauty in it

I WALKED HAND IN HAND WITH YOU

 

I walked hand in hand with you

Down a country lane just we two

In a land of a green and pleasant hue

Over a bridge where the kingfisher flew

Through woods full of telltale bells of blue

Across a field wet with morning dew

Climbed a hill amidst lamb and ewe

To a perfect spot with an unspoilt view

Where we could be alone just we two

Hold each other’s hand and bill and coo

ARE YOU WEARING BUBBLE WRAP?

 

Are you wearing bubble wrap?

Well that is a novel form of dress

But if I were to start popping the bubbles

Would that cause you any distress?

THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 12

 

There is knowledge I need to know

And I really need to know it soon

Such as how the pipers can tell

When their bagpipes are out of tune

CUPID’S LAST HURRAH

 

I’m waiting for cupid’s last hurrah

To feel once more his arrowed sting

One last lighting bolt

From the heavens

Signalling one last chance of true love

A final breath of wind

Blown onto passions dying embers
