Like a big orange ball from the sea
It’s the bluest sky that has ever been seen
So pack up your bags, don’t forget the sun cream
For the seaside is...

Des had been my neighbour now for nigh on close to twenty years,
And from a humble retiree back then, old age so quickly nears.
His wife passed away ten years ago, so Des lived on his...

I feel if you want to steal my limelight
then you had best learn to rhyme tight,
and double up your rhyme with each line 
like mine so that I might feel the fright, 
decline and beeline...

NORMAN
Norman was a character a funny man its true,
He was a country copper, till the force said bugger off blue,
He was there in Mungindi when two Squatters piddled on plants,
Grabbed onto ole Carruthers and booted...

I'm not going into work today
I'm taking a day off to rest,
I've been feeling under the weather of late
and really not up to my best.
I've taken some of my holiday
I didn't want to go sick,
As...

Lake Eliza
Out by poor old  Lake Elisa lived a moody ancient miser.
Who bemoaned his fate throughout the livelong day.
lived further west than Isa out where the heat and flies are.
So he plotted as he...

Old Scottie’s got a cob on
Can’t find his favourite chair
Just back from a mini reunion
And he can’t find it anywhere. 
Not yet got the nerve to tell him
It went the middle of last week,
Mike gave...

Our Sid felt well-jaded 
his sweat, it cascaded 
he feared the end was well-nigh 
his head was a-pounding 
a hush ultra-sounding 
he all but stared death in the eye 

Steadily declining 
whinging and whining 
to...

Dam you bastards with water; I think you all are coots
While I watch the weather everyday and plead for rain filled fronts
I’m not some greedy bastard, which wants to grow more grass
I need my stock...

Listen to the little voice 
Enjoining you to cling, to hold on for dear life to the hand
Of God where your boundless choice

Lies in wait to reset...

It's doing my head in, really getting me down,
The rules keep changing when they need to,
We should follow the rules to stay safe,
Some dont want to they think it doesnt apply to them,
So stay away...

In Little Whinging, Privet Drive,
around the bend at Number Four
is sighted, strikingly alive,
a tabby cat not seen before.

Her interests vary from her kind’s -
she does not mind the scuttling rat
Behind a battered bin she finds...

Motorcycle Persecution gone mad.

Are they persecuting Posties?
On the streets of Brissy town ,
Cos them brawny bloody bikies,
Have made the Police to frown,

Hells Angels on Vespas,
 on the footpath  interviewed,
Do you have the drugs upon...

Or  whinging about life’s sadness and duty!

Ferrets revenge

January made me sadder
February was very dark,
March had a little madness,
Ferret bit the postman aaark.

Chased the Postman up the footpath,
Stop ya whinging, letter carrier,
Cracking stockwhip round his earbones,
Flew down the...

Whinging utterly pointless, act
To change the perception you project
Cursing utterly uncouth, exercise tact with the contact
Whom you desire to reject with the respect 

They least expect even when they suspect
Their exploitative tendencies piss
You off big...

Suspose you ‘as a haccident
That wouldn’t be a joke
If sumfin’ comes a crashing 
And it ‘its you on yer ‘ead
It could knock yer...

your always whinging, and don’t...

Strength of serve, or length of pools? 
Don't even argue - you won't win. 
Eight balls an over? Just give in. 
No point fighting Aussie Rules. 

Accommodating? Yeah, like mules. 
Amenable to consultation? 
Better save...

I'm Leaving (eventually)

I'm going to leave the planet 
never coming back
wave you all a quick goodbye 
as I vanish into black

Traverse the great elliptic 
skipping the asteroid belt
on past the rings of Saturn before 
you'll...

I'm not wild about Harry.
Since he has lost the plot,
Whinging and moaning
And gossiping a lot.

He thinks he is hard done by
And everyone is unfair
To this spoilt prince
With the flaming red hair

His hair is not the...
