story begins. It all started near...

It all started with a countdown from ten...
My own self-destruction shall begin
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
From trying to get hired
To trying NOT to get fired
Jesus! I can't control all this rage
Should...

You want me to dumb it down and write something simple
If I did that, I'd expect Shakespeare to come back from the dead and stab me with a pencil
This world is too sensitive you need...

They’re not coming here to nurse us
Because of the approaching Brexit day
But it doesn’t really matter because 
There’s no money for treatment anyway.
After buying planes for the carrier
And replacing the Trident deterrent,
That’s a great big...

Even if you don’t care I’ll tell you where I’ve been 
I took a break for a while, now I’m back ready to share my pen
Ready to take revenge on every and anyone who fake...

Now why didn't I do this years ago
Lost a bunch and feel a hundred times better
Obsessed with eating? A resounding yes
Never followed any plan to the letter

Then one day fifteen months ago
The skies cleared and...

My smart iPhone drowned, what a dread! 
No purpose to get out of bed. 
Can’t do without fidgets 
With smarty pants digits 
When my social life just dropped dead!

My buddy, from a dire grave fate,...

People call it a winter wonderland

I call it a lack of green

Not that green's my favourite colour

But it beats keeping driveways clean

As soon as we think our shovelling is over

Another storm hits with a blast

In the midst of all the turmoil in the world
A simple reconnect with the past
Can make the crap that we constantly hear
Seems so unimportant real fast

So unimportant in the overall scheme
The only thing that matters...

Ghosting

Online friends or family,
So selfish,they.
You could be dead and buried,
How would they know?

These are your best friends,
They loudly pronounce, 
They deceitfully say,
Who cannot check emails for 
180 days?

Their sidewalk fell in, the washing
machine broke,
Their 40 year old...

Now I am sleeping
The sleep of the dead
Laying in a coffin
Instead of a bed

My wife kept saying
I should have the test
I never listened
I thought I knew best

A finger in an anus
Just a simple poke
What I...

Don’t be so flippant my weird teacher said
Trying to scold me with 
A nasty glare

I was entranced!  A vocabulary word
To learn!   Hooray!
Me myself and I loved a new word.

That night scanning the...

The older I get, the more loud noises
Annoy me and cause irritation
Got sensitive ears since becoming a senior
Sometimes prefer isolation

Alone with my thoughts of a better world
And how to be good girls and boys
Instead of...

Away with work
I'm going to the pub
Not to sink my woes
Just get some grub

My room is tiny
Cats can't swing
My keyboard's here
But I can't sing

I'm four floors up 
The view is fine
This bed is huge
I lie...
