Tech awakens in Baby Zoomers
Their Zoom nature being late bloomers

Digital video stays for sure
Watch your kid's vids, which ought to endure
Kiss those heartfelt hugs a grand goodbye
Doing face time on their time is why

So you'll all have to work from your homes
And pay most of your bills off your phones
Covid virtually did change us
Our offices then rearranged us

Save travel time by placing a call
Video games kick started this all
Techy Tacky is kinda wacky
Once Zoom evolves, it won't go backy

Life Be Good

Me slob clob be a dirty grey
me school an open alleyway
no sissy pens;  we wield 'em guns
me canna count but me's no dunce

Clompers bare;  me sneakers hocked
jiggle barefoot roll and rock 
breathe in deep me dead-rat whiff 
and suck me wacky backy spliff

Workavoidic be me graft
pleasure be a tankard draught
a willing gape to lard me wand 
in Pete or Rex or busty blonde

Me rolled the slapper in the buff
caught the clap;  she's up the duff 
me downs no drink not alcoholic
comfy in me world shambolic

Postcard From Morphinialand

I hope you get this postcard
From Morphinialand
There really is so much to see
Read on, you’ll understand

Latex geese ride rubber ducks
That fly along the ground
While newly discovered welliphants
Wait in lost and found

Blueberry flavored raindrops
Climb up from a deep glue sky
As inter-dimensional wilder beasts
Feast on lion pie

Toffee Banana Rivers
Wend their merry way
Around candy cotton sugar puffs
From the Milky Way

Physic black umbrellas
Predict the weather will be fine
In this land of gumballweed
Built on melty time

Ice blue cooling sunbeams
Make everything rather tacky
And falling leaves from porcupine trees
Make for excellent wacky backy

Chocolate covered gerbils
Fly faster than the speed of sound
Perched in tree tops going “cheep”
At half a dozen for a pound

Yes it’s wonderful to be here
So here I am going to stay
Sorry I won’t be home tomorrow
I’ve made plans for yesterday


Im a Little Rizla

Im a little rizla

Also known as a skin

Here with my friends

In our warm backy tin

we love the life that we lead

Everything here that we need

Cozy bedding yes indeed

We no someday our time will come

The reason we are here duties to be done

Fingers touching on our skin

The journey to skin base 

 Just about to begin

So excited my time is near

Bye my rizla pal's i have no fear

Been nice knowing you all

It's my time and duty calls

But we will meet again in our next rizla life

For our long chat's that were nice

Have a good smoke

Have a good life
