the Sleaze

Quirkyalone Day we sat monitering the telly
alone on a Valintines Day had
never been such a chore
Freinds gathered to watch the game and to watch the
fyter-folly bout. They wrested, grappled and boxed.
The karate was sporty, I enjoyed the catch as catch can aspect of the thing myself.
We ate quail and wildrice. Strawberry crumples( suger cookies wrapped with nuts, cream cheese and jam with a fruit)
with wine and icecream. We made a Sporting jesture
from loniliness.
What a grand day my freinds. Bravo to our worthiness!

MY ADDICTION

My addiction; 
You're my addiction 
Always with me
By me wherever I go
Whenever I'm alone
All the time beside and around me
My only companion 
Accompanying me whenever in jeopardy.

You stripped me off
Everything I owned 
Unaware to me
Just not to get rid of you 
Can't live without you 
My addiction 
I'm lost in and with you forever.

The more of you 
Not enough 
The more craving 
Forever the thirst 
Longing endlessly 
For you without seizing 
Aren't you the sweetest!
My addiction.

Accompanying Audrey Hepburn

The Withernwick Ramblers Skiffle Group
Not exactly an enterprising name
But  we did however have
One unique  claim to fame.
We accompanied Audrey Hepburn, 
Famous Film Star, yes that’s the one
That elfin faced great actress
Now so very sadly  gone,

The Six Five SpeciaL National Skiffle Contest
The only one there’s ever been
Heats at the Star Cinema Hornsea and
We were  behind the Silver Screen
The film was  War and Peace
Saturday afternoon Matinee showing
And our last rehearsal 
Before the heats  got going.

So, we accompanied Audrey Hepburn
But I don’t suppose she ever knew
About those four Yorkshire lads  
Murdering Worried Man Blues
We came fifth out of four
But that was outdone by by far
By the fact that we’d in theory 
Accompanied a Hollywood Star.


Accompanying Trump

'Say what's with all the furry hats?'
'They're Beefeaters. It's what they wear'
'Are they like, the Aristocats?
Say, what's with all the furry hats?'
And who's the little woman?' 'That's
The Queen.' 'Are we in England?' 'Yeah'
'Say what's with all the furry hats?'
'They're Beefeaters, it's what they wear'

A Day Accompanying a Friend At Lecture

when i see young surgeons
with careless hands dissecting
poems in schools
ruthless for marks,
i smirked and declined from
warning them,one day
they will dissect their lives in poems.
not all of them will write,some will
pen lyrics and think greatly about it,
O that emotion that is universally Sad.
i know,their teachers too
have a habit around poems;
the class depended on them
for limitations and murmur.
with time,i knew they were same.
same in sanity and madness,
after the same teachings,
the blind philosophy,
the best glamourous road
of no end,
to be lost is possibility.
the tempted man will follow the snake
into the weeds,
the realised will sit and mend;
with some faith the broken becomes beauty.
