Patience paved the way but

prompt action saved the day

The vulnerability in the balance

can be the price we pay.

There’s birth and there’s death,

and in the middle is

uncertainty.

 

 

 

 

With the question of why, never answered

Endless conclusions all seem too real

As fact and fiction merge into each other

The Press, out of it, make a meal.

 

 

 

 

 

Signals missed

Knowledge withheld.

A lethal combination.

Then with tears, eyes welled.

Bags in sumptuous leather

Boots and shoes with a name.

All of them costing a fortune

Isn’t it a shame!

 

Clothes with famous labels

Out of date so soon,

Get put on the credit cards,

and for a moment we’re over the moon.

 

We all need retail therapy,

to prevent us going insane.

This fast track modern living

can sometimes be a pain.

I have a drawer full

of nothing at all.

I never go near it

from one year to the next.

When I do eventually open it,

I feel quite vexed,

and slam it shut

for a few years more.

What useless junk

it has in store!

The over optimistic cool dude

The spinner of yarn onto a

mythical spool

The childlike fantasist

and you, the innocent believer

and fool!

She disliked everything about her

weekly piano lessons, and especially,

the presence of her music teachers

husband, who always seemed to hover

uncomfortably in the background!

He was later arrested for something or other.

At which point, her lessons promptly ceased,

and she thanked God for divine intervention.

Human fields of endeavour

Stretching for many a mile

Inbuilt self-destruction

In a second it can all turn vile

Breathe the air of self importance,

Swallow your own success,

Fall in love with your mirror image,

But don’t stick around for the mess
