Bareback Bronco Bustin'

And I'm lookin' really strange
Guess most folks I'll appall
Thru all the miles of pain
Thru the wind and thru the rain
Wearin' Pap's old chaps, that's all...

Nuggety nudger & nurdler
Thorpey did embody
Epitomise, personify Test Cricket

Plagued by Memories
...Dreams do not resolve,
They only recall, relive, appall, and gall.
They replay the scenes endlessly,
On loop, over and over again,
With the final chapter,

A Closet Full of Peanut Butter

She watches it spin and spin
It is too much to process the pain
Her mind usually a flurry
No longer a need to hurry

There was an old lady who said:
I’ve only a hair left on my head.

Whatever, this was dumb anyway

When I feel so upset
Going all in way too hard
To lose another stupid bet
Losing all my hard earned money

Fiercing deep into the skull
It's like adding salt to the burn
Excruciating beyond pain appall

Mistrust is misgiving not careful

Hindsight 20 20

Stainless table inside the morgue
With only a thin piece of cloth
Draped over him, still as moth.

Bottomless Cement
...If I died in a casket,
Will you be my basket?
I’m the bottomless pit
full of so much wit
What if I can fly?
Soaring like a lullaby

I weep in mere lament
Like rain...

Being squashed under a wheel
Are always things which appall
My poor pet nailed to the wall;
Soft skin...
