Habital EatingIt isn’t very nice
In fact it’s very rude
To leave the table
Whilst others are eating foodYou should take it easy
Give your food time to digest
And don’t be forgetting
We have another guestIt’s not a competition
It is not a race
So why do you gobble
When feeding your faceWhy do you swallow
Why can’t you chew

Those were the DaysYou could go out, leave your door ajar
You could go for a walk, not see a car
You could say hello ,without feeling strange
You could spend two pence ,still have some change
You could see a policeman ,walking his beat
When children could play ,safely on the street
You could go to a store ,get something that you need
When wages…[Read more] -

Bar TenderBeing a barman is quite enlightening
What the punters don’t know is quite frightening
Politics,religion and what should be done
The moon and the stars everything under the sun
They know all the celebrities and how they behave
They know what to buy and how to save
I listen to them earnestly and take it all in
So when I invest I’m bound…[Read more] -

Anton’s DreamI climbed to the top of the hill
taking up a favourable position
I had not long to wait
suddenly it began
the sky became a splash of red
reminding me of her beautiful auburn hair
as the sun took its rightful place
illuminating the plush green fields
reminding me of her sparkling eyes
the flowers in the meadow became a mass of…[Read more] -

Hoosier PrincessTo the princess of Indiana
When I traveled to Indiana
I was greeted in a lovely manner
I’m searching for my princess
So please send out an S.O.S.

To see the place where she was born

She’s even took her favourite gnome
So off to Eaton,Delaware

Just to hear again the rumble of the tramcars
The buse’s as they journey on their way

Whats wrong with us (Part Two)What is wrong with creation?
Our basic believes have the same foundation
Scriptures interpreted in different ways
On our feelings it always plays
Manipulated down the years
To play with peoples hopes and fears
Brainwashed is the human kind
To the truth we may always be blind
There’s nothing wrong in belief
But w…[Read more] -

THINK ON THISIn the vast expanse of time
We are in body for but a short while
Therefore we should use our time wisely

Because I was born

A line over which
no self respecting Brummie would go
Bordered in the east
by a place called Saltley gate
Where many poor Bromwegam serf

IDEAL COUPLE ?Tom who was a single man
And Alan Rounds best mate
Meet a girl called Gillian
And asked her for a date
He took her to a restaurant
The intention now to dine
Asked for the bill of fare
And a bottle of their best wine
Gillian was not used to this
It just was not her thing
She kicked of both her shoes
And suddenly began to sing

WONDER BOY
To me
Born in the forties ,in an air raid shelter
Family and friends ,thought him a little belter
At the age of six months, he was able to walk
When he was nine months ,the young chap could talk
He could ride a bike by the age of three
And scale the heights of a twenty-foot tree
When he was four he could read a book
And catch a top…[Read more] -

The Fashion ModelTall and lanky
Thin as a rake
Frightened to touch her
Least she might break
Struts on the cat walk
In outlandish clothes
Whose going to wear them
Nobody knows
Do the designers ever
Visit the street
Where the slender lady
Is usually small and petite
The average being
Curvy, set thick
They don’t flop around

SIR THOMAS de GAILLEIn days of yore, in days of olde
Lived many knights, so brave and bold
One such knight, Sir Thomas de Gaille
Would woo young maidens, whilst supping ale

I will condemn thee, to thy grave

MOANS AND GROANSMany fear things that crawl and creep
Yet whilst we are fast asleep

Whilst beneath us bedbugs swarmMany complain of vermin and rats
We surround ourselves with dogs and cats
Set traps and leave poison around
Then leave our rubbish on the groundMany dread after dark
