Scratching Fanny in Cock Lane, a true taleThe year1762 a tale of murder or mystery they boast
A teenage girl, drunken parish clerk, and maybe even a ghost
About hordes of aristocrats and wealthy men assembling
Crowds rivalling Covent Garden, Theatres were now descending
To a house near St Paul’s on a road named...

BrokenThe streets, breeds…
These ghetto streets filled with hunger and pain,
Where civil hands toil in hardships but lives remain plain.
Walking the street corner at night puts lives at stake,
I see a sister looking to make a quick buck in a masquerade
Emptiness and cold her love for...

and address the elephant in the room soon when pigs fly.

Phone and E Mail ScamsI received an exciting soup mail
I’m minted, with wealth off the scale
But I know it’s a fraud
By some bloke from abroad
These fraudster’s should be put in jail
Got a call from a ‘Microsoft’ guy*
His fake story I did not buy
Said he’d turn off my ‘puter
And re-route...

Hope EternalI saw a young man in the park
with a bottle wrapped in brown paper
I saw him drain the bottle to the last drop
The bottle shattered as it hit the ground
Shards of glass lay everywhere
like his broken dreams.
I saw a cheap woman on a street corner
in...

Final ClearanceAre these words true?
what do they really mean?
many shops portray them
are people so very green?
So many are taken in
believing their every word
but it's not always so
when you're hearts stirred
The cheap price is appealing
a bargain we always like
but when the competitions tough
just tell them to get...

today they sit inside the day I spoke of many times.
they never thought it'd come true.
they never thought I'd be right.

Hunting Down a Lame DuckThere was a lame duck
Injured looking for a quick buck
And feeling struck
Thankful for the merciful luck
After being stalked and plucked
Taking a swim on the river
Avoiding a hunter looking for dinner
Good fortune appeared on the shore
In the way...
