Do it with dignity
Show some pride
Ride a white swan
to the other side.
Lead him not into temptations path,
for he is a succour for life on the wild side.
And will embrace all that is on offer,
on a reckless, roller coaster ride.

Auntie Nellie loved strawberry jelly,
Uncle Bertie loved fruity tarts.
Auntie Nellie watched soaps on the telly,
Uncle Bertie preferred to watch darts.
The deal is struck and
adrenaline’s running high.
The build up has been mind blowing
But to the bonus, wave goodbye.
Go outside and mix.
Join the world.
Talk to anyone, smile
at everyone you pass.
Sit on the grass and
people watch.
Interact.
Just get off those
confounded contraptions
and LIVE
Lacking in table manners, they
eat like chimps in the zoo.
Shovelling it in and gobbling
it down, without so much
as a chew!
He was willing to leave
his roots to be with her.
But she wouldn’t hear of it,
and thus spent the rest of her
life wondering – what if?
Under normal circumstances
such an idea would have been
unthinkable. She’d already been
warned that sorrow she would drink.
But she was lead by her stubborn
foolhardiness, and unable, clearly to think.
She lived and died and no-one knew,
the pain she felt, for she withdrew.
She kept her suffering out of view,
to prove her love for me and you.

My tears into rain have gathered
My smile now the beaming sun
My presence in the form of a shiver,
is all I dare deliver.
