They’re much more faithful than a human
And they never answers back
They are loyal and true and loving
Even when they get a whack
The never will betray us
No matter what we do
And when they see we’re sad
They will also feel quite blue
They rely on us for food
And also walks as well
We can disclose all our secrets
For they will never tell
Although they’re often know
As being ‘man’s best friend
I’d say they are the only ones
On whom we can depend.
Like dumbstruck dudes we stood and watched
Our team coach pull away
Then slunk back to our waiting cars
And headed towards the motorway
The long ride home would seem longer still
We felt as sick as hell
Our side had lost another ‘dead cert’
Though our top player did quite well.
But a one man team, without support
Is not the key to success.
So we’ll struggle on as best we can
As our finances are in a mess.
The ‘transfer deadline’ came and went
As all hope of fresh faces faded.
If we lose next week to the bottom club
I feel our pitch will be invaded!
It’s not a joke, it’s just not on.
We scrimp and save all season.
So it’s no wonder we feel gutted
When we lose without good reason
To sack the manager would cost good money
That the club truly hasn’t got.
So with a golden handshake out of the question
Our season’s not looking too hot.
The thrill of being in the top flight
Has been short lived, to say the least.
We need to win our next ten games
And turn this goal famine into a feast.

The reformed persona
of a wayward soul,
constantly reaching inwardly
to draw strength anew.
One minute at a time.
One day at a time.
And always with the knowledge
that devastation is nearby
and anarchy, at any second,
could kick in
Custard pants is coming
Swaggering along the prom
With one hand in his pocket
He struts with such aplomb

So ultra modern
The latest ‘must have’
The chicest of chic
The ‘tarted up’ lav.
Solid gold fixtures
Bum warming seat
Touch finger flusher
So very discreet.
Don’t even flutter an eyelash
Let the double entendres pass by
Don’t let him get his leg over
Don’t act all demure and shy
Don’t show a hint of recognition
Let the attention go over your head
Don’t be another notch on his belt
Don’t ever enter his bed
If we split them up
And go for a walk
It’ll be easier for you
To get him to talk
He’ll reveal their business
He’ll spill the beans
Not that I’m nosey
By any means
It’s just that she
Is harder to read
And cleverly avoids
The questions I feed
So buy him a beer
To relax his tongue
And he’ll sing like a canary
Before too long.
Keep your knees together love
And straighten up your spine
And put a smile upon your face
Oh, and lower that hemline.
Unfortunately she has
To accept he’s right
So it’s humble pie for tea
And down on one knee tonight.
Unburden your troubles onto your mother
Tell her each detail of your dismay
And how you are the injured party
And how unfairly you were treated today
Reveal your anxiety to your mother
Tell her each word that at you was spat
And how you are the innocent victim
And how injustice has made you feel flat
Then end your chat with your mother
Tell her goodbye and go on your way
Feeling refreshed and invigorated
Whilst she’s left worried sick
For the rest of the day
