I wanna go to a poetry cafe....
In a pink beret and two giant earrings
Sporting a very serious intelligent expression which is obviously not my own
So ill borrow it from some super being like Steven Fry
Just for the night (he can sit at home looking daft, looking me)
As i fly into the realms of fantasy
Stood in all my regalia, pink floral wellies and beige checkered hacking jacket
Purple courderoys
Spilling my beans
My limited means of getting my
Very
Unimportant
Point across.....
Whilst
The avante guarde and Mrs Bohemian nod and shake
As my word snake slithers from my agile tongue
The one which spits bile
the one which wreaks havoc when im just being mum
I wanna watch the candles flicker and smoulder
With a man bag over one shoulder
Chuffing
One
Giant Havanna cigar
Peace man, way out, too far.......
I wanna travel triumphant on the train
Back home again
Resting my feet on the opposite seat
(just because its wrong)
Leaning drunken pon my wonky umbrella
Singing that most annoying song
'Pardon me Sir..... is that the cat hoo chewed me new shoes? '
Whilst bemused commuters gaze on
Why ever not!
Cause Im a whimp...thats why

What is bad stock?
Plasticine people smiling within Formica walls
Where hippy drains a fathers fool
As Ma Baker dominates the town
By day before taking her draws
Down...
Shes a ho.. He's a whimp
Out dancing with Lucy
Sky high
So return with a bump to earth kids
And scrimp
And scrape
The crap from the local rag
A coal fire infused
With amusing fags
Thirteen coppers and a few irate
Snobs
Armed guns
Be loyal littuns and
Shut your gobs
We... Were bad stock from the filthy side of koi
Five little girls
Not one boy
(As twas)

Unconditional Love By Jack Horne and Beth Winchcombe
We’ve been through this a thousand times!
What can I say to make you see?
The love I felt for you has died -
I’m sorry, you’re not right for me.
You made me laugh!
You made me cry!
Now it seems you’ve gone away!
I should hate you,
BUT,
Love and hate are much akin.
I know you want another chance,
But feel we’ve had that one last try!
I never meant to break your heart.
It tears me up to see you cry.
I’m missing you so much
Already,
You heartless swine!
Leaving me alone!
Why did you come into my life
If you didn’t mean to stay?
Unless I owned a crystal ball,
How could I know how it would end?
I love you still - but not enough!
I know your broken heart will mend.
What I felt for you
Is liken to a tap
I just can't turn it off.
You're nothing but a whimp,
A bastard,
A womaniser,
Someone I should hate!
Can't you see what you've done to me?
I wish now that we'd never met!
Sadly though I'd still forgive you.
I've got myself a dog, he won't let me down!
Unconditional love, that's what I need right now!

A TARZAN WHIMP
Some folks see me as a JUMBO SHRIMP
But a TARZAN WHIMP is who I be
Who cares what others say?
Not I!
LORD, LEAVE LOSERS to speculate
How a short woman could have goals so high
MANY MAGICAL, MYSTERIOUS MOUNTAINS I scale
Much to the dismay of IGNORANT WISEMEN
Watch me paddle my canoe around the world
SEE SUPERMAN SIGH as I leap over tall buildings
My adventurous spirit knows no limits
So just sit back, naysayers, and watch me fly
