My Greatest Gift
and Biggest Weakness
I recall my parents warning me, I was a little dense.
That my greatest gift and biggest weakness
was that I trusted so easily. My uniqueness
lies in the manner that I never take offence.
I've trusted and have been taken for a fool
yet each time I find myself trusting again, life's a sham.
It's a weakness, a flaw, and yet it's who I am.
I constantly put myself in predicaments to be plied like a tool.
My first high school football game was also my last.
My friends convinced me to sneak off, "We'll have a blast."
Whilst outside we strolled around chatting.
When it came time to go back in, they stood laughing.
I felt awful. I was played for a fool.
Shortly after my parents took me out of school.

True story
When I was a kid, I remember feeling,
different then my folks.
You could say my egg,
had a different kind of yolk.
I was always angry, rude,
hyper and high-strung,
I spoke just how I felt,
never held my tongue.
I was constantly getting,
into lots of fights,
my mom would ground me,
she tried to set me right.
I always felt like there was,
something wrong with me,
I was loud,
causing trouble never low-key.
As I grew older,
the problem became bigger.
Cocked and loaded,
my finger on the trigger.
Puberty arrived,
and she stuck her head out,
Six-grade camp,
a girl I was crazy about.
We had to be careful,
big trouble if caught,
We would sneak off,
to our favorite spot.
I thought my heart,
was going to explode in my chest,
From that first kiss,
I knew I was possessed.
We got caught making out,
our parents blew a fuse.
They said our behavior,
is not normal, there is no excuse.
We paid no attention,
it was puppy love.
We were 15 and wishing,
on the stars above.
I remember feeling,
different then my folks.
You could say my egg,
had a different kind of yolk...

ROMEO AND JULIET – PROLOGUE TOO
The Montagues and Capulets never saw eye-to-eye.
A feud so deep, eventually, someone had to die.
At loggerheads for decades (no-one remembered the reason)
To fraternise together would be an act of treason.
They’ve traded insults every time they met upon the street,
Biting thumbs at each other, with neither conceding defeat.
But, in our play, two offspring, one from either side,
Fancy one another and will not be denied.
Romeo, a Montague, has hormones running wild
And Juliet, a Capulet, at thirteen but a child.
They fall in love completely and despite their parent’s abhorrence,
They sneak off in the morning to be married by Father Lawrence.
They share one night of passion (the law was different back then)
But then Romeo was banished so they never did it again.
It starts to get complicated now as Juliet takes a potion,
To make it seem that she is dead – cue scenes of high emotion.
Her lover returns before she awakes and poisons himself in remorse.
Then she comes-to and, finding him dead, she kills herself of course.
But this is just the prologue to get us under way.
If you want to know the full details, you’ll have to watch the play
Friends take advantage of me;
they don't plan to, but they do.
After I have been their friend for a while,
betrayal often comes with a snide smile
that places the blame squarely upon me.
Defending themselves with lies,
they cut the bonds of friendship.
The ones I loved the most hurt me the most,
shielded by trust; they took me by surprise;
for I had craved their names into my heart.
In my youth, friends were plenty,
but time slowly thinned them out.
It hurts inside when I lose an old friend,
especially when they've stolen from me,
in light of everything I've done for them.
Kindness gets repaid with scorn,
even though I've done no wrong.
They accept no blame for treating me thus
and overstepping the bounds of friendship,
they tend to sneak off without looking back.
I count my friends on one hand,
and that makes my heart so sad.
If I were famous – wanting to remain unseen
I’d have a secret way to leave my house.
While I’d sneak off as quiet as a mouse,
I’d have a “double” leave by limosine!
My house would have a pool inside and out!
My rooms would be so lovely and pristine
because I’d have myself (without a doubt)
a trusted staff to garden and to clean.
I’d use my money for good causes, and
I’d travel in the comfort of my jet.
Despite all that, I wouldn’t act all grand,
for never domineering could I get!
Perhaps a movie critic I would be.
I’d have a screening room. Friends I’d invite
to view new movies in my house with me.
At Oscars, in attendance I would be.
Though famous, I’d be like I am today -
still down to earth and working with my mind.
A homebody most likely I would stay,
and always I’d remember to be kind.

Poppy was like the old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she barely knew what to do.
They always arrived in stacks of tens, still at home are twenty-two.
Today she thought she would sneak off and take a nap, maybe two.
The children were alarmed, where was mama mouse?
They ran room to room, yelling up the house.
They could not imagine where their mama could be of course.
Since she always toils from sun to sun, like a working horse.
Mama! Mama! Are you okay? The ones who found her said.
She turned over and plopped a pillow tightly onto her little head.
Everyone is worried! We called grandma Mama too!
Mama’s eyes opened wide. Cleaning right now is what she had to do.
Like a finger drawing on foggy glass,
You peak sneakily through clouds as you pass,
High above me as I lay on the grass.
I could fall into you – will your dark side want to?
You show me something new – I will howl at the view.
But before you sneak off out of my sight,
Rest with me here in the fading daylight.
Confess to me what you have seen at night.
The waves would wash you clean – More forgiving than mean
Closer then you have been – spin and be truly seen.
Like you, I try and weather pain with class.
I wonder where I would be without you.
In our darkest, I know we’ll be alright,
Although I know the space is vast between.
Horror Story.
Wife’s gone to bed, there’s a spooky sound
Still scared of the dark when no one’s around
I hear her snore in the room above,
A reassuring growl, is just enough
In the film a killer is stalking
All the lights off, no one’s talking
Turn on the lights, an involuntary scream
Has no affect on those in the scene
A glint of a knife, raised in a hand
Bet she regrets this one-night stand
I know, I know, it’s only acting
I could tell, the kind she’s attracting
I’d have given her really sound advice
Forget the murderer, find someone nice.
But no, he’s here, no is not the answer
She’s an undercover cop, not exotic dancer
The tables are turned, during the struggle
I sneak off to bed, give the wife a cuddle.

So here we are Laura, reached your 40th birthday
seems like only yesterday, on tower green we`d play
our childhood a close knit experience,happy memories no doubt
"its twenty five past, cant go to work without a shirt " Gail would shout.
Running to the shop as kids for a penny chew
always garaunteed Michelle was after you.
Laura you would sneak off,to meet your now husband Paul
me and Gail peaking through the window, backs against the wall.
Always dressed immaculately, and a heart of gold
for this is such a commodity, that cannot be bought or sold.
A beautiful natural lady,you have gone far in your life
raising three beautiful girls, and Paul are man and wife.
I am so proud to have you, and simply call my friend
i know that we will have this bond,right til the very end.
If i could have my time again, i wouldn`t change a thing
the lives we have lead,not alot more can bring.
We all settled down in life,that we cannot moan
but if ever i feel i need my friend,she at the other end of the fone.
Happy 40th birthday Laura love from Skin and Paul ***
Dust swirls heavily in the air
I choke on each painful breath.
Wailing cries from everywhere
mingled with blood and throes of death.
Turn cloak! You sneak off with jingling gold
singing some cowardly song.
No moral creed, no worthy code
a vile traitor you’ve been all along.
I will not die, not here, not now…
these grievous wounds aside.
I’ll hunt for you, and this I vow,
my vengeance shall not be denied.
So make your peace, you pathetic worm
together to hell we’ll abscond.
I’ll be your escort, if just to confirm
it’s the devil from whence you were spawned.
Who making acquaintance, shall mightily hiss,
your perfidious deeds he’ll revile.
Forever you’ll anguish in silent abyss,
to hell’s deepest circle, I’ll see you exiled.
And when you regret ever having been born
and seek desperately, an end to your strife,
I’ll come with a sneer, and a token of scorn:
the gold which you thought worth my life.
