half their faces veiled, masked in Niqab 
driving scooters,...

That is what I continue to hear
Meet me at the square before the close of the year

is everyone from Barking  Barking mad?
Does everyone In Lambeth do the Lambeth walk?

As I was in national park virunga
 and I saw a zebra 
which was giving birth and

with rambling and cooking on the upper floor
and putrid fish odor...

I called it hell 
From the huge imposing prison like doors
To the doom like toll of the bell
Everyday the same
Running for the school bus
Full of uncivilized Wild kids
Being pushed and shoved
Countless kids...

I remember those days when just a kid,
the old ten shilling note, and the odd quid.*
Teddy boys in their drain pipes, fur collars
smelling of nicotine, street wise scholars.
Conkers,* glass alleys* and comics as well,
bow and...

Motorbikes and barking dogs
Are driving me to drink
With the endless din of traffic
I can no longer think

Perhaps a beer or two
And then I’ll close the window 
That might help...

greased up and over with road kill 
lubricated engines search for the fallen

Ah, to this land of the monsoons
or should it have been the sunsoons? 
Yet for frozen land tourists, a tropical hot boon.

Where bullock carts, stray dogs, horse carriages and cows
pedestrians, goats, bikes and rickshaws
scooters, trucks,...

There's an island paradise located in the blue Atlantic.
No place on earth is quite as charming and romantic!
A shangri-la where beaches are pink and everyone smiles.

Disco dreams and disco balls 
Big city,bright lights 
Pub crawls and bar fights.

Men bended carrying crates of apples
Hessian bags, sewn shut wait at home domains

To announce apple picking,...

Black Dog

Johnny was a quiet boy:  
He lived by Rangar Wood.
Johnny’s mother loved him,
As all good Mother’s should.
