A Rhyming a Random

Celebrity deaths can be bizarre 
someone so close yet so far 
the realisation hits you hard 
yet they have no clue who you are 

Meat Loaf sang to my youthful years 
Sarah Harding sang with my peers 
when the Queen died there were tears 
and was Diana’s what it appears 

Watching those planes hit those towers 
the world as one witnessed those cowards 
that massacre in the morning hours 
then militaries became empowered 

Next was London then Paris too 
England crying unis avec vous 
testing times bring out those true 
voted Brexit but love E.U 

Man United won the treble 
Man City now at that level 
the blue moon shines on the Red Devil 
history books record those special 

2003 England’s World Cup 
‘66 yes please shut up 
scandalous FIFA so corrupt 
3 Lions always self destruct 

We made football we made law 
this island nation oh so small 
conquerors of more than all
fighting giants not so tall 

The history that we best remember 
“On the beaches never surrender”
NATO nations all one member 
all for one with one agenda 

As we explore beyond the moon 
machines on Mars out to Neptune 
the News at 6 bringing gloom 
AI Ukraine and monsoon 

Covid Ebola and the climate 
protesters who have never climaxed 
trains crashes that left the tracks 
deaths resort from knife attacks

YouTubers that speak to many 
all done just to make some money 
causing offence so nothing’s funny 
can’t let meat reach your tummy

Notice now how kids have causes 
blocking roads because they’re foolish 
speaking without knowledge shortness 
things we learned that no one taught us

Growing up I owned a tortoise 
someone nicked it from its fortress 
for its value seeking fortunes 
never knowing what’s a porpoise 

Random thoughts of simple sorts 
sleeping nude no boxer shorts 
the warmth of her who I will court 
keep mingers the last resort

ugly ones say no thank you 
get drunk and I guess you’ll do 
wake up somewhere strange confused 
run away cus she’s a moose 

Handsome hand written and random 
stopping once I’m paid a ransom 
I’m not sure of that Charles Manson 
singing songs written by Hanson
