Hip hip hooray
for Peter’s okay
Happy to live another day
So now go out and have some fun
Enjoy your life as you sit in the sun
For we only have one life
So waste not a day
The sun is shining
as you go to make hay
Have fun and go wild
Let today be the day you
find your inner child
Then go out to play
with a smile and a song
On this bright sunny day
have fun all day long…
Written 26th March 2019
Find your inner child please,
You're grumpy and no fun.
Snapping, snarling
Grouching, growling
And patience, you have none.
I know you're getting older
And tiredness plays a part,
Find your inner child please,
He's deep within your heart.
Find your inner child please,
Don't be unkind to me.
Gloomy, moody,
Bearish, broody,
You used to be carefree.
I know you've troubles on your mind,
That sometimes cause you pain,
Find your inner child please
And let him out again.
Find your inner child please,
Don't be such a bore.
Silent, sulking
Miserable, moping,
You've no reason to ignore.
Talk about your worries,
Let them fly away,
Find your inner child please
And let him out to play.
The Mystery of the ‘e’.
What can be caught but never tamed?
What can be attained, but never detained?
What will never cease?
If you could only see; would you still require me?
If you had been shown, what wasn’t normally known,
Would you have believed what you had read?
If you know the answer, you would not have asked the question,
Still you ask with a fear of regret.
What have you found to solve the mystery of the ‘e’?
Have you gained from this experience? Do you see what I see?
Let it lighten up your heart, with the joy of discovery.
Find your inner child, your inner being, or your split personality.
This is the way, walk into the light.
The police would like you to give them a statement.
Do you know the answer to the mystery of the ‘e’?
Of course I do, it’s obviously (…).
If that is what you have found,
To solve the puzzle of the ‘e’.
Then enlightenment is yours to behold friend;
So enjoy your next mystery.
