The fires rage thought out the bush
yet still we do not listen
The ozone layers depleted
rising heat in play 

Teach the people saving 
teach a better way
create a solar planet
clean air now everyday

Venice it is sinking...

Let me tell you the story of Miss Jenny Prime,
who spent all of her days making everything rhyme.
It was thought she’d outgrow this strange childhood spell,

I was in a bookshop the other week 
(I’m a bit of a second-hand bookshop freak.)
In the crafts and hobbies section I spied
an interesting Home-Made Presents Guide.

in spending...

Disheveled and dirty she sat 
A guy walking by just spat 
It caught her off guard as she wiped it away 
Wanted to move but decided to stay

She looked forlorn and beat 
Begging for a...

TRUMP DOGG

Road incorrecto políticamente 
rolls his 18-wheeler Hogg

Transporting border illegals is the

Outfoxing blue Smoky Bears

Just like the Big Don,
dodging the Law

Winning the Lottery

Yes, I dream of winning the Lottery,
Hitting the jackpot on a Saturday night.
Oh, it’s so wonderful to imagine,
So, I cross my fingers and hold them tight.

Our George bemoans his bad luck,
All these years,...

The reason why I gamble,
I ought to tell the truth.
Those squalid tales I spun before…

And my desperate plight for cash -
A pack of lies, I’m fit...

They sit on window sills in Hamburg Amsterdam and many beautiful Cities

Legally ‘freed’ they take part in a shady economy of flesh lust and domination

Skimpy dress bare buttocks and bosoms with red light advertising...

From the eyes of Shangri-la and words indited in bulletin
spoken by  bellwethers and imagery on broadcasts
Felt the passing of breaths and federation menace.

The scourge abided by cause of hooliganism
By a group of libertine, 
Held,...

Breeders' Cannon Ball plays for days and decades even onto eras
Feeders on the bottom plus top down voodoo economics, no trickle
De-weeders? Why? Lawns are hype realistic so fake AF and anti-kith
Xeroscape like rape by statute...

THE DAY WE WENT TO HUCKNALL


The day we went to Hucknall, didn’t we have a lovely time.
So much so, I thought I would turn it into a rhyme.
The two of us.
On the bus.

No Drugs For Me


I saw this boy walking down the street,

with the coolest trainers on his feet,

he said "hey geezer in the baseball cap,

sort me out a tenner rap!"

"Listen up and you'll be fine, 

there's...

We were class mates for 6 years.
Sat on the same bench together and did fun things.
But we had different views on life.
You looked to the stars above.
And I looked at the starkness of life.
And so...

Woke up this morning.
Woke out of sleep.
Woke on the radio.
Woke on TV.

Read about fascists.
Read about greed.
Read about people starving.
Read with my eyes, free thoughts in my mind indeed.
Oh, that’s so woke of me!

Woke made a...

All of the equipment is battery driven, but way back when it...

caricatures and cameos,
grinning mugs and jug ears.
Cheering, jeering chums
that would phone at four in the morning
to garble drunken thoughts,
make momentous plans,
or borrow ten quid.

The oddball humorist
and part-time suicide,
the drama queen
contesting her...

The dirty sun crawls up
Behind the clouds
Lighting slightly
The dark side days
Of a dirty,dull,damned nation.

Atomic hair falling out
One tooth left

Hardly any money
Hardly any hope left
Residential care home
Still got my art though
Who knows what...
