At 60 you hope for another school reunion
of your compatriots'
After all this was your first corporate flagship
(Blazers and satchels)
Grandparents now, some retired
What is more reticent
is some of our teachers have died
but their legend lives on
such full characters
magnificent in their valour
deserving respect
Yet Facebook the great replacer
of friends reunited
cannot illicit enough responses
for a reunion or reaching out for figurines

The thing about writing songs .....
Eyebrow raiser
Paper eraser
Not gona pluck it out
and draw on in its place a
Eyebrow replacer
picture for the make up
Now she looking made up
Silly little witch
Silicone bits
prize
Half price
twice
Paid paper
p and rice
Playing the players
treat nice
and player haters
defeat guys
Lyrical rapist
How you rate this
Poetry status
writing weightless
rotary merry placements
void statements
the voice payments
Pace with no patients
Repeatedly til it set
Rolls Royce
the pavement
rollers flat the wet
hey no sweaty
sweets for heating
he meant eatin'
Lyrical link up
Clearing my drink up
Can’t think but...
Float
Clearing my drink
can’t think butt float
songs aren't really poetic are they
rhyme though a b r b ay o hey
put it to a beat it don't half bounce
read it think I smoked a half ounce

Oh, trusty eraser,
You error replacer,
I thank you for clearing the way,
Preventing disgrace
When I cannot embrace
Words I’ve chosen which do not hold sway.
Just one swipe of your being
Gives way to me seeing
A blank where a blunder has been
So I’m once again free
To discover the key
Which will help me again to begin.
On computers, “delete”
Is a method discreet
To remove words that don’t make the grade
But eraser, you meet
All my needs as you greet
What my pencil has wrongly displayed.
