A Christmas Prayer

A Christmas smile 
A Christmas greeting
These things, have bigger meaning 
They represent, warmth and hope
For a day when our politicians 
Promote love, not war
And respect, for all living things
Animal, Human, Plant, big and small
When there's no veterans, on our streets
No needy child, ignored 
When protecting our wildlife from harm
means more than a trophy, 
handbag or fur charm
When there's no such horror 
as a dog-meat farm
The day we truly understand 
the meaning of community
a better brighter day, for all, there'll be
Spread love this Christmas 
A smile, kind word, warm food, 
Your last fiver to the someone 
who needs it more, than you
God bless this world, this Christmas 
May our joined spirit bring us hope
to last a lifetime, of good cheer
and an end to fear!

Black Rose

Black Rose was her name, 
a pirate ship of great fame,
she sailed the Cretan seas,
of turquoise blue, so un-tame,
crashing through the high waves,
sea air in our hair,
salt and rum on our tongue
singing songs old & young,
hell, it was great fun! 
our backs heated by the sun
on the ropey rigging we hung,
with sword and pistol gun,
deep sea swim,
till the sunset dims,
a pirates life for us, it's our hymn!

A Perfect Country Afternoon

A manor house on a hill
Petit-fours & cheese trolley
These small things...
A whiskey glass clinking
Musk of ancient tweed
 wet dogs by the fire
A front door strewn with wellies 
and autumn leaves
These are the small things 
of a perfect country afternoon

Dance of the Commuter

Early morning, bleary-eyed
We’re a weaving coffee-carrying crowd
One more sip,  heads bowed
Oh Grief! That train horns loud! 
Sorry! Excuse me!
Opps…Shall we dance?
A frown turns round
Manners & Humour - it's sound
