At the footbridge Sue was meeting her beau
(He was married to a woman called Flo)
Sue soon found out his deception
She dismembered his ********
For his love life it was a massive blow

To the hospital fled poor Rodger
For an op to repair his todger
Now fixed, it's SO...

At The Footbridge

Two Armies

One shoots off another salvo
The other fires back with gusto
Each offended
At the aggression of the other

At the footbridge
Foot soldiers die
In agony you hear them all bloodied, cry
War is a must and you wonder why?

Kings collect gold
Queens their ladies in waiting
Castles must be...

      At the footbridge where we would stand,
      Watching steam trains, hand in hand.
      The whistle blew, we shrieked with fright
      And waved...

At the Footbridge

At the footbridge the young man,
brought young ladies to have his plan.
For a kiss in the right place,
to put the lass into a special space.
  
He knew it is true,
at the footbridge she'd remember who,
gave her her first kiss.
Shared with him they...

With trembling fingers I’d opened the bloodstained envelope
But I shouldn’t have been surprised at the state of the paper …
you work as a butcher

Your message was short -
Meet me at the footbridge at midnight
I’ll bring the blue tartan blanket .. I have a surprise for...

At the footbridge over Crosswicks Creek
My parents met mid-span
He smiled at her, she shyly blushed
And a great love story began.

Daddy wasn't big on church affairs,
Mom a hippy from foot to head.
It seemed a natural choice, therefore
When at the footbridge they happily wed.

At the footbridge, my...

The Footbridge
At the footbridge of time...
It lies just ahead, the path worn and clear.
         How many others found their way walking here?
Oak and maple to the left, leaf covered river stones on the right

At the Footbridge
I met Regret today,
he sat down beside me--
whilst across the creek,
Opportunity circled about

Regret introduced himself,
between my bevy of sighs,
I stated, “I wish I'd never met you, sir”
to which he plainly replied,
“But then you'd never meet him...”
as he glanced beyond the footbridge

So I walked across the...

Footbridge spans water.
Japanese garden waits you.
Waterfowl live here....

At the footbridge above fresh fallen snow
Lovers stood once, opened hearts in silence
The fates led them here from a first hello
Beneath sunset that was in compliance

A weathered gray bridge, this memory kept
New promises woven by tethered hearts
Though years have passed by time windswept
They stand again...

At the Footbridge
At the footbridge she stands
in a gossamer bridal veil
torn between her two hearts

The pure promise of love in his eyes beckons her
Honor of parents and family pulls her back
He is of a different religion and culture
A forbidden fruit if she bites 
would banish her from...

We sat, we played, we walked as if they were endless days                                 ...

At the Footbridge
At the footbridge I stare in dismal despair
As the chasm beneath it shrieks
With its jaws open wide, I must swallow my pride
Set across to that fair distant peak

But, with its slats and its lats and high flying bats
This is not such a treat for the...

While standing on a footbridge, I sang lyrics to our love song.
I felt you take my hand in yours - as if you were at my side.
Raindrops fell on my cheeks, bringing me back to reality.
