What a total pack of lies you tell,
You oversell your story.
Why not tell it like it is?
Why surround yourself with glory
That powerful, all consuming urge,
When nothing else really matters.
As you block out all the grief in your life,
And in your head the window shatters.
That feeling is beyond compare
And even though you shouldn’t be there.
You keep returning again and again,
Into her private lair.
Try to keep things in perspective,
Don’t go over the well trodden ground.
To keep reliving the past, as was then,
Is destructive, so turn things around.
Try to keep life in compartments,
By keeping a mental file.
That is easily tucked away in a place,
Somewhere in the memory’s mile.
Try to keep going forward,
Yesterday is dead and buried.
Look forward to all your tomorrows,
But don’t let your today’s be hurried.
Try to keep looking cheerful,
Whilst inside you are falling apart.
That way you will trick your brain,
And love will flow to your heart

I’ve got a lovely velvet coat,
It buttons to the floor.
I feel the bees knees in it.
But I don’t wear it anymore.
I’ve got a heavy, thick black cape,
It comes right past my knees.
But I don’t bother wearing it,
So my knees, I let them freeze!
I’ve got hundreds of matching suits,
That in my wardrobe sit.
But they are all last seasons,
And some, they don’t even fit!
I’ve got four thousand pairs of shoes,
Some, I’ve never had on.
I’ve searched two months for my favourite pair,
I don’t know where they’ve gone.
I’ve got millions of bottles of perfume,
Nail varnish and lipsticks too.
In every colour you can think of,
And guess what, I’ve even got blue!
You couldn’t call me a hat chick,
So I thought I’d let you know,
That sitting in my cupboard
There’s only ten or so.
When it comes to guys,
I don’t know why I’ve only got one!
I’ll start a new collection,
Goodbye…. I’m already gone…

They’re much more faithful than a human
And they never answers back
They are loyal and true and loving
Even when they get a whack
The never will betray us
No matter what we do
And when they see we’re sad
They will also feel quite blue
They rely on us for food
And also walks as well
We can disclose all our secrets
For they will never tell
Although they’re often know
As being ‘man’s best friend
I’d say they are the only ones
On whom we can depend.
Like dumbstruck dudes we stood and watched
Our team coach pull away
Then slunk back to our waiting cars
And headed towards the motorway
The long ride home would seem longer still
We felt as sick as hell
Our side had lost another ‘dead cert’
Though our top player did quite well.
But a one man team, without support
Is not the key to success.
So we’ll struggle on as best we can
As our finances are in a mess.
The ‘transfer deadline’ came and went
As all hope of fresh faces faded.
If we lose next week to the bottom club
I feel our pitch will be invaded!
It’s not a joke, it’s just not on.
We scrimp and save all season.
So it’s no wonder we feel gutted
When we lose without good reason
To sack the manager would cost good money
That the club truly hasn’t got.
So with a golden handshake out of the question
Our season’s not looking too hot.
The thrill of being in the top flight
Has been short lived, to say the least.
We need to win our next ten games
And turn this goal famine into a feast.

The reformed persona
of a wayward soul,
constantly reaching inwardly
to draw strength anew.
One minute at a time.
One day at a time.
And always with the knowledge
that devastation is nearby
and anarchy, at any second,
could kick in
Custard pants is coming
Swaggering along the prom
With one hand in his pocket
He struts with such aplomb

So ultra modern
The latest ‘must have’
The chicest of chic
The ‘tarted up’ lav.
Solid gold fixtures
Bum warming seat
Touch finger flusher
So very discreet.
Don’t even flutter an eyelash
Let the double entendres pass by
Don’t let him get his leg over
Don’t act all demure and shy
Don’t show a hint of recognition
Let the attention go over your head
Don’t be another notch on his belt
Don’t ever enter his bed
