The hunters and their dogs are going home,
Their secret sworn to silence,
footprints crunching through the snow;
Agreed the parish priest should never know.
They walk beneath a sky of sickly hue,
A tale not fit for telling
and an angry sullen mood
Anticipate the taste of sordid food.
Tonight they’ll fill their stewpot to the brim.
Some meals may ease one’s hunger,
others eat you from within,
With nothing gained confessing to the sin.
The hunters and their dogs are going home.

How everyone should be?
But how come that’s not me?

Luke got hold of a camera
And went on a picture taking spree
He took a picture of his baby brother
He took a picture of me
He took a picture of his nan
He took a picture of his mum
He even took a picture
Of the dog, while it was licking its bum
But Luke was holding the camera
Completely the wrong way round
It wasn’t until we saw the photos
That all that was to be found
Were not the pictures we were expecting
All we ended up with instead
Were lots and lots of photos
Of Luke’s shiny forehead.

Luke’s lips are swollen
He doesn’t look that great
It must be an allergic reaction
To something that he ate
Luke’s lips are swollen
It’s pretty hard to ignore
It can’t be the nuts he scoffed down
As he has had loads of them before
Luke’s lips are swollen
Big lips on him just don’t suit
Though some people with a warped sense of humour
May think that it looks rather cute
Luke’s lips are swollen
From what we may never know
But now it is time for his medicine
So to the doctors poor Luke must go
Luke’s lips are swollen
Looking like two massive red pearls
But the doctor had it figured out
He’d been kissing too many girls.

I found Luke an old golf club
And several shiny golf balls
That will keep him quite for a while
While I make a few phone calls
Smash, went a window
In the greenhouse out the back
Smash, went another one
It sounds like we’re under attack
Smash, went the old fish tank
We threw out in the trash
Maybe we should have sold it
We’re going to certainly need the cash
Smash, went another window
Smash, and then one more
Then smash went the window
On the kitchen door
I grabbed the golf club from Luke
Saw all the windows had gone
The lad has one hell of golf swing
And got more than a few holes in one

Luke has a special friend
That only he can see
He calls him Herbert Sherbet
Invisible to you and me
I have never seen him
But he must be real I presume
When things get broken it's never Luke
Though only he's in the room
So many ornaments broken
So many valuables lost
All destroyed by an invisible force
I dare not add up the cost
Luke likes kicking his football
Inside rather that out of the house
His friend always plays with him
Though unlike Luke he’s as quite as a mouse
SMASH, goes another valuable
I know who’ll get the blame
Luke of course a picture of innocence
As Mr. Invisible strikes again

Captain Evil Eye is here
More a super villain than a hero
Just one look from his evil eye
Your temperature drops to zero
Yes it is Luke’s little party trick
This thing he does with his eye
When he stares at you with that look
You don’t know whether to laugh or cry
Go and do your homework
And Captain Evil Eye is there
Go and tidy up your room
You’ll see the steely glare
Come on now it’s time for bed
The evil eye stares you down
Captain Evil Eye looks a little
Like some psychotic clown
But even super villains get tired
And we eventually get our way
As Captain Evil Eye is put to bed
His evil work done for the day

Luke was building a tree house
He was building it all by himself
A rusty old hammer, several bent nails
And wood that used to be someone’s shelf
We could all hear Luke working so hard
Hammering and sawing away
He was such a busy little bee
He didn’t even have time to play
He’d get the job half completed
Then it would all just fall apart
But he’d just pick up the pieces and start again
The kid certainly does have heart
Finally the tree house was finished
Luke was as proud and as happy as could be
He’d done a good job, but there was something missing
And unfortunately that was the tree.
But Luke shouldn't get too upset
Shouldn't let it get to his head
He may not have made a tree house
But he had made a lovely shed.

Luke was just told something
That gave him such a fright
In fact it’s scared him so very much
He’s still trembling and gone all white
What has he been told,
To give him such a fright?
Well I am afraid he has just been informed
That tonight is his bath night
Now water is to Luke
What sunlight is to a vampire
Every night, the same old fight
He never seems to tire
But he always ends up in the bath
So I don't know what the fuss is about
Because once he’s finally in there
We can never get him out.

Friday is spelling test day
At the school where Luke does go
Of course Luke hadn’t learnt the words
He just didn’t want to know
He should have learnt them every night
Straight after tea
But he’d much rather go out and play
Or sit and watch TV
Come Friday morning
Luke claimed that he was ill
A belly ache, an ear ache
Though he refused to take a pill
His acting didn’t fool anyone
His lies did not prevail
He went to school and took the test
Of course, a massive fail
But Luke isn’t all that bothered
And he’s forgotten about his ‘pain’
He doesn’t have to worry about tests anymore
Well, not until Friday comes around again.

Mixing a little potion here and there
Something strange is stinking
Why did they buy Luke that chemistry set?
What on earth where they thinking?
Nothing good can come of it
There will be trouble down the road
It is only a matter of time
Before we hear something explode
Luke is mixing potions
His formulas he perfects
I know he’ll want us to drink some
To see the side effects
We’ll all be covered in spots or something
Or all have bright blue hair
But now Luke is the mad professor
I don’t think he will care.
For that project is over for him
Those plans have now been hurled
Now he is onto bigger things
To one day take over the world..........Mwahahahah

This room is in an awful state
Someone couldn't care less
How could anybody live this way
Such a terrible mess
Wallpaper hangs from the walls
A wardrobe is missing it's door
An unmade bed full of crumbs
And stuff all over the floor
Something hangs from the ceiling
That once upon a time gave out light
Don't know what has gone on in here
It looks like there has been a fight
Piles of smelly socks stand in the corner
There's a fish tank devoid of all fish
And something furry that may once have been food
Is growing in a dish
I am not going to clean up this mess
Like this it will just have to stay
Isn't Luke a naughty boy
For letting his bedroom get this way.

It is one of life's little mysteries
Why with Luke things seems to go wrong
Maybe because he sticks his head
In places it don't belong
Today Luke got it stuck in a bucket
So to the hospital he did go
How on earth he managed to do it
Perhaps we'll never know
Because Luke is just not telling
He's a little embarrassed you see
I wondered why Luke was yelling
"Can someone please help me"
Most people at the hospital were laughing
Those that weren't did a polite cough
But with a huff and a puff and some elbow grease
The doctors managed to pull it off
Luke is feeling much better now
Though he does have quite a sore head
And his ears look a little swollen
And shining a very bright red.

Luke got a letter from school
A sea voyage they had planned
Luke was really excited
As you may well understand
On the day everyone had a wonderful time
But someone was staying below deck
Feeling really ill, should have taken a pill
And was looking like a wreck
Yes while others were enjoying the sites
Luke was nowhere to be seen
Still down below and wouldn't you know
Turning a strange shade of green
It should have been something to treasure
But this was a school trip to hell
I don't think in future he'll bother with trips
Because I'm afraid Luke don't travel too well.

Luke always likes
To try out something new
And today he decided
That he would drink shampoo
Of course it made him feel quite sick
But that’s the least of all his troubles
Because now every time he opens his mouth
Out float a million bubbles
And bubbles come from his nose
And bubbles come from his ears
And now every time he cries
He cries bubbles instead of tears
I don’t think he will again
Put shampoo in his tum
Especially now that bubbles
Are coming from his bum
Though I suppose there is a bright side
He’s sure to impress his friends
When they see that Luke
Can blow bubbles from both ends.
