Loneliness sucks 
Fill voids with Mall time 
Plastic replete.
Feeling so fulsome; flirting with cl...

...The quick fix had worked so
She slipped the needle away,
Her little liquid friend that helped 
Through each long working day.
A toot of the horn told her

...Harold Peters led a very secret life
Totally hidden from his own dear wife
He didn’t work selling quality pork pies
Just another of his devilish devious lies 
To conceal the fact when he wasn’t t...

World Wishes Now

Is preferable to intelligence than bellicosity.
We should stoop our heads like wind chimes,
Additionally, supplicate our Almighty God.

At the Casino

...The dice become unfriendly as I watch my slimming pile.
The seven’s coming up again, but doesn’t make me smile.
I’ve put most of my income on the ‘Don’t Pass’ line, you see
But the shooter was a d...

the joker smokes
each and every line cries
know your punters eager
