Their ma & pa were Eastenders
Blah blah..don’t remember the Blitz
Brash Cockney pretenders..same flash apparel
Let's get our mitts on a stash of Aperol spritz
Dimwits just going on benders
Bawdy tawdry mockney skits
Gits getting off their t*ts
Twits showing off their bits
Who fits?..Identikit Brits..pout
All about the clout of gaudy glitz
Silhouettes of stiletto dancers & handbags
Riff raff as naff as an 80’s cornetto
Perms & permatans..sl*gs..fancy dans in glad rags
Rhyming slang falsetto twang libretto
Chancers on a stag..s*ag nip & tuck hags
Nags of WAGS made up to the nines
Brag after cocaine lines did blag
One snag..look like a dag in drag
All from the fashion label stable
No restraint.. cannot refrain
Grandstand the brands fable
Diadora diaspora ..Fila Villa
With a Pierre Cardin Jardin
Taint just like they do in Spain
Sex..success…the way you dress
Prosecco fizz...getting in a tizz
Gilded specs and builded pecs
Greed and that need to impress
Avoid don't feed this schadenfreude hell
That is indeed called Costa Del ESSEX

I've said it once
And I will say it again
That girls have always been a mystery
They are like buses
That won't come
Then suddenly you get three
They look so pretty
And very hard to resist
The prettier the girl
The sweeter is the kiss
It was like some mating ritual
They have things us boys don’t have
They hang around in gangs giggling
Always wondered what they kept in their handbags
That they danced around on the floor
To catch your eye
But I never threw it
Although I used to try
When I got married
I tried to find a map
And read a manual too
Did Mum and Dad
Really do that?
Well I never thought it but must be true
Because babies down come from nowhere
And I have three blisters too.
Whenever they have a problem
And don’t know what to do
They ask you
And end up doing
The opposite
You can tell them till the cows come home
And until your face turns blue
Above all, they deserve attention and respect
That’s if you have a tame one
And they don’t leave you in debt.

Resolution this year…stop buying spree,
Infinite number …shoes, jewellery!
Dior purses, handbags nice,
Chanel dresses, reduced price,
Family panicks at purchase they see!
Clear the wardrobe, full of expensive clothes…
Gucci, Klein, Kors - covering head to toes,
I must donate some good stuff,
Don't I have outfits enough!
For a lifetime of posh glamour I chose!

Born poor without schooling, Coco Chanel learned to sing in a cabaret
She learned to sew and became an influential fashion designer in France
Known for popularizing sporty, chic, casual items as feminine standard
Her monogram of interlocking C’s is recognizable to this day
Coco was a prolific designer, first one named by Time as influential
Her jewelry, handbags, hats, sweaters, are all stamped with her monogram
She has left an empire for other designers to strive to work for.
Her fragrance Chanel Number 5 is known as daring and jaunty like her

The alligators will not stay in the water,
they head for strip malls, for chicken noodle joints
or sports bars for fish taco or spicy wings.
They get their nails done in a Korean salon
paying in Spanish gold.
The two legged;
the cranes, herons, and humans
edge around the gators.
Occasionally, rowdy boys bounce stones off
their scaly hides.
The unflappable crocodilians slyly grin
for they are ecologically moving-in.
Shrewdly, the reptiles are styling
alligator belts and boots, or sell gator skin handbags
from wayside stalls and booths.
The Floridians have become inured
to these green interlopers. Some seeing opportunity,
rent them housings with few tenancy rules
and ‘must have’ pools.
Sadly many furry pets keep going missing;
and not just the Cypress trees are stumped.
It’s a new era, one to be nearer together.
Undocumented or free-range, no longer estranged.
but one shared love for chicken, be it raw, fried
or grill flamed.

They come in like birds.
Slipping through the walls.
Others like to perch on the stalls.
Handbags and purses, clutched to their chests,
The rest circle round, eyeing their culprits.
Some squawk and wave at people they think they know.
The leaders stand over their roost,
Circulating snapshots of a perfect life.

red rose and chocolate are common place,
do no justice to someone with your grace,
pricey perfumes that are marketed to charm,
but smother the odours that in love form,
there are designer handbags, scarfs and shoes,
many pretty garments that one can choose,
but I know these will hold you no appeal,
for someone like you it is no big deal,
then how shall I profess my love, do say!
when stood at your door on Valentine’s day?
should I play you a song on violin?
or should I dance with you, your love to win?
perhaps a candle lit dinner for two?
so I can hold your hands and look at you!
I am love sick, lost, utterly confused!
I know you are not easily seduced,
so here is my love posted through your door,
filled with kisses!.... ask if need anymore!

The successful preacher spoke with a pious tone
very soothing to the ear.
Great days are coming .
when all of mankind shall be peaceable and agreeable
and there shall be no more irredeemable souls.
The church choir stood up and they began to sing like angels and beneath the choir you can hear the rustling of pockets and jingling of change, the snapping and unzipping of handbags, wallets and purses in a very pious tone soothing to the spirit of tithing.

The wake
I can't cope with this everything is arranged
the women in my house are talking about handbags
that much not match the dress.
Or is it the other way around
I tried my suit it was too small I'm wearing a black trouser
with a suitable jacket.
The casket will be open, but we can't stand too near
I Don't want to see his cold face.
He has been in the morgue for days, waiting for
the money from his boss in Congo
if the money does not arrive on time, we have to wait
a bit longer.
I have saved, but it was meant for my funeral,
everything else is arranged they are playing AVE Maria
which will reduce me to tears.
My wife will shush me to tell me to pull myself together
and hand me a serviette.
After the burial, we will go and get something to eat
I like to get drunk, but my wife will stop me.
You see he was my friend and I will never get a new one.

I only I want in my life is to retract my timeline.
Today just like any other ordinary day same routine but the question I ask myself do I feel like have I accomplish growth.
What is my mindset today be fearless be great or even better be a hero?
Who can I help who can I save a lot of thoughts cross my mind
What do I have to prove I started from the bottom nothing is thicker mud
Evil should never prevail in my mindset but can trigger my wicked thoughts.
Still live alone like its cool thing to do again, my negative thoughts took control over my emotional feelings, which lead to our separation. Parting ways was her decision, but I bet she happy because she continues to buy designer handbags with the matching flip flops just for an Instagram image.
I love her more than she ever knew, but what really rupture our relationship was time; the lack there was the amount of time I could give so much more, but when you abandoned someone for so long, how can they really love you.

indoors
since people outside wear masks
and I can´t see if they laugh or cry.
Since bars are shut.
Since I´m reduced to look at ladies handbags
in the posh shops nearby
there no point going out.

Handbags at dawn
A man in the middle of Handbags at dawn.
Two lovers for one heart. This is war.
A mighty showdown; a choice is needed.
One man, one love; never being greedy.
People don’t worship love anymore.
It’s just a thing they do. Forget about being faithful.
It’s so much easier to do what you want.
Consequences don’t happen, just have fun.
Standing face to face, eye to eye.
Fighting for love. Crocodiles don’t cry.
Learn the pattern, then anything can happen.
Love means nothing, truth only saddens.
Another body is all that matters baby.
Sleep with two until one is unhappy.
There are no rules; promises are made to be broken.
Sleep with convenience. Lies are easily spoken.
Have an argument to get rid of one.
Then find the other one when they are gone.
When you have used them, say goodbye,
Then find the other one and apologize.
Demand privacy when it comes to your phone,
So you can hide when the other one calls.
Tell them you want a night out alone,
To stop the fights…hand bags at dawn.

SHOES, BAGS AND TAGS
I’ve got a thing for handbags, all shapes and sizes
It’s a bother changing, but the occasion always arises
Whether pink, black, white, or brown,
Alongside others, I never wear a frown,
Bags for every season, which allows me different disguises!
Then of course there’s shoes, but here look at the sizes,
And at the heel, not cool to tumble, there’d be reprises,
Bags and shoes must now be matching,
Message sent, prefer to be quite fetching,
My choice is dice dependant, and how everyone surmises!

SONNET-IN-PROCESS: Power of One
Words of concern, friendship, simple chatter
Will keep one from those dear, dear therapists
The power of your talk, a small matter,
Is oft the thinnest thread this side of death
We talked before machine and computer
And designer handbags, shoes, and cellphones
That wisdom of grandma, uncles, neighbor
Great sounding boards (old friends) now mostly gone
We can't know how one call is a Savior
On obscure small-scale, where human beings dwell
One word of support, admitting error
May save sanity in saints under spell
So, human neighbor, “human being” is right:
“Human” the dance - dancer is "Being” in delight
