The over optimistic cool dude

The spinner of yarn onto a

mythical spool

The childlike fantasist

and you, the innocent believer

and fool!

 

 

 

 

 

A melting menagerie of muddled

minds. Raucous unruliness.

Just men being men

 

 

 

 

Don’t give me that

load of old frog spawn

You croaking toad

with bulging eyes,

and flaring nostrils

revealing your lies!

 

 

 

 

 

What she lacked in education

She made up for in humour.

She was young and exciting

As graceful as a puma

So tall and energetic.

So powerfully beguiling.

He knew he couldn’t contain her

But for a while she had him smiling.

The sheep is lying on his back,

Nearly strangled by the fence netting.

And the sight of a horn entangled,

As you know, can be very upsetting!

 

We’ve told him more than once or twice

The serious dangers of trampoling!

But would he listen, would he heck.

He’s now been released and stood up reeling!

 

 

 

 

 

 

You’ve won my love, so what’s the next step now?

We’ve gone as far as we can somehow

Without causing pain, and putting strain

On our loved ones at home, who still remain

Loyal and trusting, innocent and true

It would break their hearts if they ever knew

What can we do?

 

We knew at the start how these things go,

A smile across a bar, then the next thing you know

It’s weekly meetings full of surprise,

But at home a succession

Of lies and disguise, staring into their eyes.

It would break their hearts if they ever knew

What can we do?

 

We’ll call it quits and stop it now

There’s the children to consider, and anyhow

Perfection in love is just for the dreamer

But I’ll never know why the grass

Always looks greener

It would break their hearts if ever they knew

And that wouldn’t do!

 

 

 

 

Ride this storm and calm will come,

After the rain there’s always the sun.

 

Don’t let your efforts go to waste,

Think things through, there is no haste.

 

What an empire you have made,

Don’t let your love now start to fade.

 

Life is full of peaks and troughs,

Many a hic-cup and plenty of coughs!

 

Love each other, please stay strong,

And soon you will be back on song.

He loved her like there was no tomorrow

And maybe that is the most honest form of love

To take the moment as it presents itself

To seize the opportunity

To not ask questions and therefore remove all guilt.

But as with every high point, a low must follow

And then comes the abyss

 

 

 

Trotting back and forth, always on the move.

Life untangling in their head

Demons dancing

Voices shouting

Is my Father dead?

 

Going to and fro, causing much alarm

Don’t let them stray beyond those gates

They won’t return

They never do

The fuss that it creates

 

Rushing here and there, on a mindless mission

Searching for the great unknown

Decades lost

At such a cost

In their head, they’re all alone

 

Sitting never still, always on a journey

Into the past they dash

Frustration shows

And temper yells

As once again their memories crash

 

Going to their grave, so bravely, but not yet

Their bodies are strong indeed

It’s just their mind

How life’s unkind

Please help them God we plead

Oranges and pears

Who really cares?

 

Lemons and peaches

Whoever reaches?

 

Coconuts and mangoes

Who really knows

 

Where in the end

Everyone goes?

 

Who gives a fig

If the world is too big?

 

Give me a raspberry

To blow in the wind.
