Ted’s libido has now gone astray
He refused a quick roll in the hay
So what could be the cause -   
It’s the male menopause

showcasing mouthwatering care but with dirty hands

God is awesome
I must-must pray 
I am - should I say this? - handsome

Dark matter seems to be
What isn’t there to be seen
In between
What we see.

Don't blame it,
Don't chastise your heart,

I will fill each hole of your heart
To have it...

A people person made to not like people
I've known the worst ones, spiteful, evil,

I gave sympathy
they pointed out the wimp in me

I kinda like three in a bed
She said I’ve got friends

The next night as had been arranged
His ankles and hands were...

Better be kind and compassionate than an evil man.
Better be a good man than a bad man.

Better live in the now than live in the then.
Better be courageous...

To meet those friends I used to know.
And talk about the days gone by
When we were young with spirits high.

Asking for me to...

Burnt herself out feeding her family.
