In deepest nightmares, the buzzsaw
fast asleep, extinct, its teeth.
What psycho decided to D.N.A. cast
this swimming ancestor of Jaws?
Can you imagine the grind (cool beans!)
of his afterlife (a laugh a minute)?
Bad enough, the bite of cold eyes.
You, Psycho, on steroids.
Dr. Evil would cringe. He rather enjoyed
the thrill of a shark with laser beams.
“Ooh,” he’d yell! Mini Me might clap,
as the gears whirl and torque.
“You must think me a real jerk!”
he says to Scott. “Bring back the lasers!”
Nothing little about this buzzsaw.
Don’t resurrect the extinct monsters…
too late…raw fate
Time for bed
A laugh a minute is what they said
Soon after that I was brown bread
Cockney slang for very dead
Before I had even said
It's time for me to go to bed
DAMO xx
Twas a laugh a minute, a cry a day,
Then you found her, and she took you away,
The days are now weeks, Seconds now gone,
The music stopped playing on our love song.
She now has your smile, your touch and your laugh,
How much I miss you, you don’t know the half.
Never have I felt such pain in my heart,
Than when your with her, and not in my arms.
I see you with her, tears well in my eyes,
I watch from afar, my heart breaks inside,
But I had you once, and I let you go,
Now you've replaced me, and I am alone.
I learnt my lesson, I learnt it hard,
Now and forever my heart will be scarred.
