Graeme Poems | Examples


What a Life

Off the shelf into the trolley
Pushed between the carrots and cauli
On the belt and codes to swipe
Next to bananas all over ripe

Push in the bag , throw in the boot
Next to the veg and all the fruit
Thrown in the ice box , squashed to hell
How long in here , no one can tell

Pull for the depths and chopped for the pot
Tossed in the pan , water all hot
Boiled to depth , drained and dressed
Put on a plate with all the rest

Sliced yet again and shoved in a mouth
Crashed by the teeth then swallowed down south
Attacked by bacteria, acid as well
Grounded to a pulp, then a journey from hell

Hours go by as I wind round the pipe
Rumbling noises as I give him the gripe
Forced through a gap, nearly airtight
Ending my life as a stick of brown shite !!

Where

Where

Where would I find a smile like this
Her loving warmth and loving kiss

Where would I find a smile like this
My every need my heavenly bliss

Where would I find a smile like this
Her presents i would surely miss

Where would I find a smile like this
Nowhere else, as nothing else exists

Where would I find a smile like this
There are no doubts , no others to dismiss

Where would I find someone like you
The things that you can get me through

Where would I find someone like you
We stick together like superglue

Where would I find someone like you
To find someone with love so true

Where would I find someone like you
The best person that I ever knew

Where would I find someone like you
We go together like conditioner and shampoo

Where would I find such a wonderful wife
I couldn’t even if I searched all my life

Fascinate

“Now class the lesson today, is word relate
Give me a sentence which includes fascinate “
Mary held her hand up , and duly stated
“I read a book on Brazil and I was fascinated “

the teacher said no and repeated to state
“Give me a sentence which includes fascinate”
Alice was there she had a high class rating
“I study the stars and they are fascinating”

the teacher said no and repeated to state
“Give me a sentence which includes fascinate”
hands on her head , Tommy just couldn’t wait
she stood in the classroom awaiting her fate

“My Aunt has a cardy with ten button holes , and she’s irate !
Cos her boobs are so big she can only fasten eight”

Wrong

I staggered down the road looking for skirt
I’ve had my drink now time for dessert
Bouncing off walls, falling about
Eyes going funny about to conk out

I get to the door and fall flat on my face
Staggering around all over the place
The velvet seats and the strange décor
I sat myself down waiting for whore

The man at the desk said “what do you want?”
I looked at him trying to be nonchalant
My eyes were rolling, I couldn’t sit still
My body was moving of its own freewill

“I want a woman get them on display”
“ But sir, you’re in the Bengal Indian Takeaway.”

Blind Date

It was through a friend I found a date
I decided yes after a great debate
We arranged to meet by the station clock
I hoped she was ok , and I wasn’t in for a shock

At 7:45 I was standing with my flowers
It was only minutes but it seemed like hours
Then out of the crowd came a woman in white
At first I thought she looked alright

She came up to me and we said hello
I’d booked a table at a nice bistro
As we walked along her arm in mine
Taking in the view of the nice coastline

After a while she started to cough
Then she fell over and her leg fell off
Being concerned with much alarm
I reached down to help and pulled off her arm

I stood transfixed as she lay on the ground
Hoping shortly I would be homeward bound
I lent down again , my thoughts in doubt
Tried to help her up and false **** fell out

As they rolled down the bank , I was in dismay
Her body parts were in disarray
My blind date , I started to regret
As she lay there crying , all upset
“don’t you want sex “? I thought what a deflator
“throw it over here and I’ll shag it later “

Graeme Ballard

Graeme’s hero is Steven Gerrard, 
That Liverpool and LA football player,
And has Cerebral Palsy. It was hard, 
‘Cos doctors said he’d never blether. 

He was prematurely delivered 1979,
But can now lift 3x his body weight.
For his 8th birthday his parents fine,
Bought him a horse, sports to date.

He studied at Beaumont College, 
In Lancaster, where he got involved, 
In CP sports competitions to wage, 
His abilities and strength devolved. 

Joining Chorley town Athletic Club,
He became determined to make it, 
And in May 2012 Graeme did tub,
Taking silver, to sprint the Worlds fit. 

Then in the London Games, Paras,
He won another silver to objectify,
His raw talent in the T36 100 metres,
In which he does his dreams solidify.


Friends

Sanofi now and then
Friends I’ve made so many
Working so hard saving every penny
First guy on the scene 
Angus he was great 
Made me feel welcome
That I appreciate
Joan and Annette 
Tom and Dan 
Lynn and Fitz
Irene and Anne
Alison David Glynis and john
So many friends have come and gone
Eric and Raymond Norman and mick
Fred and Sharon Doreen and dick
Irene had a spill me and Norman laughed 
She looked like a snowman covered head to toe
Highlight of the day if the truth were known
Helping one another to make it through the day
Looking to the weekend and of course our pay
Ally and Diane Alan and Graeme
Angie and martin Jim and Phil
Margret and Helen bobby and Steve
Just so many hard to believe 
Tracey Jan Paula and Leslie
Oh of course Elvis Presley
Memory’s I hold so dear to me 
Pat and Alex Miley and dee
Tony and Norma Val and Jackie
Always trying to keep us happy
Sue and Gail Jeanette and Gordon
Simply the best us lot at Fawdon     
I wish you a great future from the bottom of my heart
As one chapter end a new one starts

2st

Time warp
1979 2ST started to broad cast
In the Southern Highlands as AM radio
1999 2ST started to transmit in FM
Although these are land marks
The biggest gamble is yet to come
In 1982 2ST hired Graeme Day

Present day
Or is it Graeme Day
If you are a local you know
There is
The right way
The wrong way
And Graeme’s way

Graeme may not be right
But he is vocal about his way
With a heart of gold
A level head full of information
Combined with a sense of humour

Graeme’s love affair with the microphone
Passion for the Southern Highlands
Cheeky smile
Inquisitive personality
Need to
Answer questions
And get to the bottom of things

Graeme will not let any
Issue or subject shut him up
After doing his research

Boots and all
Like a pit bull dog
He jumps in
And doesn’t let go
Until the truth comes out

People have suggested that 
Graeme run for council
But Graeme feels
He can do more good
Behind the microphone
Keeping the councillors
On the straight and narrow

Graeme Day is the voice
The voice of the Southern Highlands
The voice of Justice 
The voice of reason 
The voice that soothes the Southern Highlands
