Long Mps Poems

>Sunday – shop – or – not, until you drop.

Arriving from unknown somewhere
He set up clinic in the market square
Declared he could cure any disease
Using herbal drugs of plants and trees
Townsfolk being credulous
Soon to his shop began to rush
Diabetics, rheumatics, asthmatics flooded
None over his...

Like the mariner he was, a scrawny, skin unfair
A loner with a glittering eyes, possibly a bit touched
A Clint Eastwood impersonator look, he seemed to bear

But a powerful speaker...

Come to the lion cage
Don't stare or watch just look in the lions eyes
It will tell you all the stories of Kampala

They're selling off our Airport, does anybody care? 
The old Gazette's done nothing yet, no 'Save it' campaign there 
The Echo there in Darlo seems quite reluctant to 
Investigate the Peel Magnate and what they're...

The architects of cardboard town, will never shoulder blame.
From brick and stone built luxury, they sit immune to shame.
Whilst on forgotten streets the homeless, dwell in paper waste
Constructing prefab mobile homes, before each cold night...

Gunny Mad Dog Maddux

We were hanging out at 3rd Marine Air Wing
And we knew we had it good
No bloused boot, always soft cover
No marching and plenty of food.

Then Headquarters in its wisdom
Threw a shark into...

This syndrome they call Hurlers,  version MPS-1
I write to advise, alert all and to inform everyone
Their prayers are needed for the future of earth
Arrogance and greed must replace them with mirth

The powers that be took us into this mess
And we as people decided to act

In living in my homeland over 60 years
so much has changed in all that time
what was acceptable is not now anymore

A partridge with all the trimmings.

...IV.
My vision began to flux oddly,
vomit came and went from my throat,
my balance shifted here and there,
once again, like I was on a boat.

And then I was back inside it,
looking out from that great machine,

as builders spend pennies
flipping profits on houses
lifestyle gurus
show us how to fold trousers

and chefs under pressure
scream out all their orders
while people in need
are labelled as hoarders 

and bookies fix odds
for the afternoon races
as judges cast...

They were strong men of steel
In flat caps and hobnail boots,
hunger pains all they could feel
dressed in Sunday best suits,

poor diet of potato and marrow 
no more ships, unemployment high

What an ugly woman and no I'm not just talking about her rat face
Squinting like she's been sprayed with mace.

Our EEC sovereignty went to the vote,
Not liking the outcome our parliament did ‘nowt,
All the self serving mp’s and grey suited men,
Refused then to honour the referendum.

They clapped a clock
At noon today.
Some gave applause,
Some yelled "Hooray"
Some others weeped,
They shed a tear,
We no longer
Big Ben will hear.

For four long years
Silence will reign
In Westminster
But there's no pain
Busses will pass
MPs will sleaze
Time will just...
