Don’t let all the people know
your every waking plan.
Keep a little inside,
whenever you possibly can
It’s one thing being honest,
but don’t give the game away.
Being an open book,
doesn’t always pay.
Best to keep a bit inside,
and have something in reserve.
Or others will steal from under your nose.
Some people do have a nerve!

Over the gallops, romping away
Young and carefree, no one to betray
Approaching the hurdles, landing with ease
Not needing the whip for a little tease
Over the moon, jumping for joy
Captured the love of a special boy
It’s all to do with confidence
And how we stand up on our own.
It’s all to do with fitting in.
Not many can go it alone !
Human fields of endeavour
Stretching for many a mile
Inbuilt self-destruction
In a second it can all turn vile

It takes a while
To really fit in
Before you feel
Content within
It takes some time
To feel secure
And be at peace
And sure as sure
Slowly, you will
Get to know
The people,
As they come and go
Then one day
The newness gone,
With your friends
You feel at one.
There’ll be some,
More than others
Who you’ll feel,
Their friendship smothers
So keep your counsel!
Be on your guard.
And soon they will hold you
in high regard
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
Wash away these cobwebs
Let our love unfold
Take me to Utopia
Before I get too old.
Women are the new men
And who’s to say they’re wrong?
For too long men have had it all.
It’s time for a brand new song.
Women will not be put on!
No longer will they be held down.
It’s now the menfolk staying indoors,
Whilst the girls are out painting the town.
She was wonderful in the garden,
All the plants she could cultivate.
She was wonderful in the kitchen,
All her dinners were just first rate.
She was wonderful as a housewife,
All the furniture shone to a treat
She was wonderful with the children,
Who made our life complete.
She was wonderful too, towards me.
Our love, it was just so deep.
But when we got to the bedroom
Alas, she just went to sleep

Don’t kill that rabbit for the sake of it
You mindlessly stupid cat
I’ve brought you up to know better
Sit on my knee whilst we have a chat.
I know that you care for me deeply
By the presents you place on the mat
But honestly, there’s simply no need
I can’t find a use for a headless rat!
So when you play ping-pong with voles
Or tear the insides out of a mouse
Kindly do it where I can’t see you
And don’t bring them into the house!
