Too little
too late
God said to me
in this dream I had about fate
So I asked him
what did he expect,
A goody two shoes
a prophet
a saint
to be something I ain’t
Not at all he said
I want to be entertained
Eternity...

Menudo Breakfast of ChampionsThis is my story about Menudo, and not the boy band Menudo
Mexican Menudo soup, known as the breakfast of champions
It’s what borracho’s, and Ricky Martin and all el mundo saludo
Chili mix, cilantro and lemon or lime, oregano, served in ramekins
A hearty feel good spicy tripe...

Praise be known
Should we give thanks and praise?
My dog doesn’t think so
He licks my hand when hungry
only to fall asleep when fed
Barks to go outside
and do his…. business
mostly when I’m in bed
Anyway I don’t care
I’m human, and don’t need
thanks from a...

To the Gallant RemainTo the gallant ‘remain’ I direct this refrain; to the hearts and great souls I see there; and maintain.
That we are not so much different that not all is estranged;
We both yearn betterment in so much we are same!
I hate not my neighbour; I hate...

A Charitable HeistLook little girl
It's not what it looks like
It's really, really not
I came for a picnic with the orphanage
And the food I simply forgot
Look little girl
Don't get all upset
Don't get yourself in a state
I am sure all the others
Won't mind if they donate
Look little girl
It's the...

Kidnapped - For Slap the Muse ContestKidnapped. - for Peeking Through The Keyhole Contest
The hole where the key’s meant to go
Was vacant so I had to know
What was outside to be seen
But my captors weren’t all that keen
It seems I succumbed to a cosh
Cos someone was after some dosh
Nobody heard when...

You Know, He Was In That FilmWatching a film I see a face I recognise
But cannot remember his name, which is no surprise.
I ask my wife ‘hey who is this guy, what’s his name?
Before we both go back and forth, playing this peculiar game.
‘It’s erm, what’s his face, he was in...

Perceived MiraclesI walk in the door,
my dog is looking at me wagging his tail,
sniffing around my shopping bags,
He has that suspicious perplexed look on his face,
Oh I’ve seen it many times before
I know what he’s thinking,
how the hell I can come...

Christmas 2014Christmas is all over for yet another year,
The house is a mess with so many toys in a gigantic heap on the floor.
You've overdosed on chocolate, spirits, wine and beer,
You've ate so much veg and sprouts that you're farting more than you ever have before....

Trust In God--Trust In God-An Acrostic
Term fellowships grant undoubting reverence
Rational credences distrust, mistrust
Unconditional credences reverence
Superstitious credences discharge, in God we trust
Tentative guesses become align with His Kingdom
Infidelities serve belief in forgiveness
New credences guess, in God we trust
Gross infidelities swear God already forgiven
Obvious merits deserve grace...

wash my hands
wipe that door handle
scrub that work top

busy high street
heart racing
thoughts trying to catch up
a few obeying the rules
others with no face...
