Hear my boy rapping the words to his headphones
Every bleep comes another bleep
As he keeps dancing to the beat
Come upstairs and barge through the door
Say to him,...

The trail was long and very dusty
great clouds churned up by hooves
of the vast herd being wrangled on
300 more miles of eating their dust

Bandana's tightly wrapped round faces
cries of "get up there" ringing out
bawling calves...

A little worm about three inches long 
Hairy, weak thing not very strong
Five meters would be an all day trip
For the worm moved by pulling itself along just by its top lip

So at 47 I have arrived.
A position most disconcerting,
Troubling? Nay,
Downright disturbing!
A blatant assault.!
An ego in default.
Should have steered left,

Having settled back into the lap,
Of my original birth sack,
I am anything but...

then dropped the weapon and ran hurriedly,

find a locally made Gallic STD.
Have a Ringo mustache,
the prostitutes on the Montmartre

Beach bum along...

For what seemed an eternity,
I chanced upon a memorable man
Who changed the path of my destiny

With tatty coat and shabby shoes,
An unshaven face, his...

Part I
Three TV shows stick in my mind.
Specific memories are hard to find.
There once was a series, long ago.
I would always cry at the end of the show.

“I Remember Mama” was the program's name.
