History's littered with Empires stopped...

GTF

Wizened skin like burnished leather
Thin, grey and long, disheveled hair
Clear, sharp blue eyes that seem to stare
Through sun scorched face, alert, aware

A ‘lived-In’ face that’s so expressive
Tales he tells read like a missive
His arms and hands he flails about
To all he jests, he seems to...

Life as we know it
Is spiralling out of control
It’s all become so precious
What will be the end goal?

Don’t say this ,don’t say that
Offence will be taken

Now totally confusing

I have been sequestered amongst the desert sands
like the Israelites before they claimed Canaan

    Has given me just enough...

A giant glass of warmed up milk
A great bedtime elixir
Don't know bout you, all my P-Soup friends
Prefer pie as a bedtime fixer

Now I know I'm being extremely naughty
But just turned seventy-eight
Who gives a poop if I'm a contrary old geezer
It's my right I've accepted my...

Sir Tom aka Marmite Man
It’s obvious you are the people’s choice
“But do not” rest on your laurels
As I too have a voice!!

Stop behaving like a precious...

now rest on our laurels, so to speak.

Does a hate virus pour an infectious spore,
allowing cacophony to poison the truth?
Words need to be aired, and honesty shared
if...
