We were kids, we had our squabbles 
I'd have a fit, and run to tattle
A few disputes, a fib, a shout

Your World

Your world is a place that is small
With bars to contain your rage
With distance between us I look upon you
As you wither confined in your cage.

Your world is a place that is dangerous

And Ned was full of cheek,

I see these beautiful,
soft patches of clouds;
Spread all over the high above blue sky.
Flocks of birds lightly being carry away by the wind,
seem like they are bathing in soft cotton.
Added upon, the warmth that they...

There’s a gap in the lounge curtains
I can see it in the corner of my eye
I’ve been trying to ignore it, but

It’s knowing that I know it’s there
That’s...

I got four hundred white face cows,
A breed that I swear by.
A herd of Mustangs to be rode,
New laptop standin' by.

Aim dead center, O aeon!
Era, this is now.
Ergo, O my stern scion;

Whirling dervish, loud the din!
War, be on...

Of which she was reluctant to disclose
Her wardrobe was full to overflowing
With a wild array of clothes

By insisting it was cheap stuff
Purchased from the op shops
