Cheeky baby swagger
Coocoo doodle I do, Not every day I coo, What Mum can do, I can – My skin needs a sun tan. My hair with homemade curls, My makeup shines like pearls. I'm just a baby, see, Acting adult, maybe. Bring napkins for wee-wee, Ensure fun flows for free. Tie me nappies for poo. And bandage my boo-boo. Baby guys will whistle, Love – their own epistle. While I...

I can still feel your lips on mine, And your fingers tangled in my hair. I still smell your sweet perfume— It lingers softly in the air. It’s as if you're with me every hour, As if your love gives my heart its power. As if I’ve known you a thousand years— And would fall for you again through joy and tears. Won’t...

Plight of the Wight
Never again to know fresh air, Combing worms from my matted hair. No one remains who’d ever care — Tied to my grave, this lonesome baire. I must escape the sun’s harsh glare, Tread carefully down crumbling stair, Descend into my crypt just there, Where I sit alone in dark despair.
