Please relieve me of impulsiveness
that gets me into so much mess,
and my forthright opinionated garble,
that causes others so much distress.
Please relieve me of smart–arse answers
to questions, not even to me, are addressed,
and of my constant second guessing,
that makes me sound like such a pest.
Please relieve me of all irritation
I may cause throughout the day,
by keeping me away from idiots,
who somehow seem to come my way.

A cat; a crutch
in times of need.
A dog; a walk
when he brings his lead.
A parrot; a copy
of the wife.
A goldfish; a pal
who gets on with his life.
To look
To feel
To agonise
To need to cry,
but can’t.
To see
To touch
To drawback
To want to love,
but can’t.
To turn
To leave
To walk away
To want to apologise,
but can’t.
To run
To find strength
To never look back
To yearn to stay,
but can’t.
Auntie Edna said she had never farted,
as she was far too refined to do that!
But Uncle, who named her ‘the old wind bag’,
wouldn’t risk sitting near, to where she was sat!
The chance:
The opportunity:
The adrenalin rush,
that can’t be missed.
The hour of pleasure
when in the city,
that the body needs,
whilst the rest get pissed.
When hairs grow rampantly on your big toe,
it’s time to address the status quo.
Why does the one who shouldn’t,
suddenly become the one who will,
by widening the goalposts to suit the purpose,
for a thrill that momentarily fits the bill.
She couldn’t eat that to save her life.
The smell of it made her heave.
She’d force down broccoli and even sprouts,
but fennel she would always leave.
It’s gone. It’s dead. It is kaput.
In a careless moment it got under my foot.
I heard it crunch, it was half asleep.
But it didn’t suffer, so you mustn’t weep.
She has legs as long as one can remember,
and a cracking shape at that.
She is as tall when she is sitting down,
as most ladies are when they are not sat!
Yet her legs are always covered up,
in trousers or in denim jeans.
What a waste of natural beauty;
One can only hope sanity intervenes,
and she gives the world the benefit
of those amazing ‘god given’ pins,
by wearing more skirts and dresses,
and confines her leg-wear to the bins.
