The insanity that is three!
Him, her and me.
Our genetic make–up a match,
though astrologically poles apart
And yet trying to exist in harmony
Such a no-no right from the start

Amongst the conkers from the chestnut tree,
was where young Percy fell to his knee.
Onlookers thought he’d said ‘Marry me’.
But a quest for forgiveness was his plea.
He’s out of the ark.
He’s having a lark.
He still thinks things are
‘groovy’.
He’s at a ‘Rave’ in the park.
He’s lost in the dark.
He still calls a film
a ‘movie’.
Hand in hand they stepped out of the hotel lift,
walking coyly through the foyer into the street,
where he hailed a taxi for her, and lightly kissed
her cheek, before returning inside to settle his
bill and get on with his life.
Their paths never to cross again.
The impetuousness of youth.
The sharpness of the mind.
If only they could bottle it,
a million dollar business they would find.

Such front
Such bravado
All show
What a blow
Climb to dizzy heights
Soar in the great unknown
Keeping one foot firmly on the ground
In case your cover is blown
The ‘more than mi job’s worth’s’
The men to get past
Can be bought for a tenner
If it’s slipped to them fast
If he never had existed
if indeed, he’d never been born
Life would have been
less complicated
And between the two of them
she wouldn’t have been torn
She was unique to the
point of obscure, though
not without allure
