Here we go in a flung festoon,
Half-way up to the jealous moon!
Don't you envy our pranceful bands?
Don't you wish you had extra hands?
Wouldn't you like if your tails were -- so --
Curved in the shape of a Cupid's bow?
Now you're angry, but -- never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
Here we sit in a branchy row,
Thinking of beautiful things we know;
Dreaming of deeds that we mean to do,
All complete, in a minute or two --
Something noble and grand and good,
Won by merely wishing we could.
Now we're going to -- never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
All the talk we ever have heard
Uttered by bat or beast or bird --
Hide or fin or scale or feather --
Jabber it quickly and all together!
Excellent! Wonderful! Once again!
Now we are talking just like men.
Let 's pretend we are... never mind,
Brother, thy tail hangs down behind!
This is the way of the Monkey-kind.

I have a weakness in my sight as I am getting old,
I thought it was my girlfriend I saw shiver with the cold,
I placed my hands around her bum, and said I'll warm you dear,
In shock the strange girl screamed and swung a slap to my left ear.
My dentures flew into the air, and landed down her front,
And as I dived to fetch them, it was like a treasure hunt,
My hand became entangled in the loose threads of her bra,
And as I pulled it off her, half the street yelled out HURRAH !
I took my T shirt off so I could cover her bare chest,
And then arrived a Copper with the two of us half dressed,
I couldn't hear him as he spoke, my left ear partly deaf,
And with no teeth I could not speak, a word that starts with " F "
He brought us to the station where my girlfriend was in wait,
And written all across her face, was jealousy and hate,
It took me all my might to prove, that I was innocent,
And finally they all believed, it was not my intent.
Imagine all of this was caused because of poor eyesight,
And that poor girl will ne'er forget the day she got that fright,
I sat there with a red ear and a bag of cold ice cubes,
And to the lads now boast, "I got my teeth into her boobs".

The End Times are almost here,
So now it's time to be sincere;
The cause not quite so Biblical -
More decimation environmental.
Cancel Culture, and things gone mad,
History drowns in a sea of sad;
Creative content not rewarded,
Starving artists, and life gone sordid.
Every one pushing their own barrow,
Censorship makes thinking narrow;
It may be that no one's right -
So shit on Nature (despite her plight).
Still, the senseless urge to breed,
Another million mouths to feed;
Babies dying in the dust -
Adult to Adult, there's no trust.
Now cut down the Amazon,
You'll only know when it's all gone;-
So f*ckwits (like B*lson--),
Can make a Hell (where he will go).
And to top it all, now there's Covid,
(Though there were plagues before Ovid);
The difference is this one's man-made;-
To make us sick, (before we fade).
But that's ok (just don't ask C-
As it violates the World's va*ina;-
And who decides just what is "truth"?
You'd best believe "fake news" - by Ruth!
So curse the cults, curse the Pope,
Curse us all, when there's no hope -
(The problem here was Evolution,
There seems to be a convolution).
Man-made God - that's his mistake,
Now's too late to apply the brake;
Many species have died out -
What makes Man think that he'll "win out"?
So come one day, when there's no one here,
Because fools ruined the Biosphere,
Man will have himself to blame -
'Cos self-deception's a stupid game.

The Belle of Yeavering Bell
It was an eye for an eye
In times gone by
A life when they lived to trade
So if you enter her home
Where you are free to roam
Be sure when you leave
You have paid.
Toss a coin into the air
Make a wish, leave it there
Listen to the whispers on the wind
Hear echoes of the past
Telling tales of those who sinned
Take the beauty
And make the memory forever last
The Belle, of Yeavering Bell
Is watching you I tell
To be sure, her hospitality is repaid
Nothing is for free
Not in the past, or now, you see
So pay your way to have no need to be afraid
You’ll be cursed if you don’t heed
To repay the Belle out of greed
For ill gains, you will now be in her debt
As she guards her sacred home
Where her ancestors roamed
You’ll live a life that you surely will regret

YOU CRY FOR SOMETHING.
YOU WANT FOR SOMEONE.
YOU LUST AFTER THEM.
GREED FEELS YOUR HEART.
YOUR MIND BECOMES UNSETTLED.
YOUR WANTS ARE YOUR MAIN FOCUS.
ONCE YOU OBTAINED YOUR WANTS, NEEDS & DESIRES.
TO KNOW YOU HAVE WON OVER THAT PERSON.
KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE CENTER OF ATTENTION.
YOU QUICKLY WANT TO MARCH TO A DIFFERENT TUNE.
YOU START TO BORED.
KNOWING THE CHASE & THRILL IS GONE.
NOW YOU THINK THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING.
NEVER UNDERSTAND HOW YOU HAVE CONNED THEIR MIND & STOLE THEIR HEART.
TOOK THEIR LOVE & IN RETURN GAVE THEM A HEART MADE OF STEEL.
A TRAIL OF TEARS IN THE WAKE OF YOUR DEPARTURE.
CAUSE FOR YOU IT'S JUST THE CHASE.....

I come around
Only after dark
When the streets are empty
And the snow gently falls
Past a glowing neon light
When the noise of the city
Quiets the %$& on down
I sneak through the crack
By the bottom of the old door
Meets the concrete floor
Anxious to get away
From the mean streets
A few empty crates
Stacked near the back
An old coat losing its stuff
Fabric ripped and torn
Castaway years ago
Countless like other souls
That have been here before
Like me in this tin shed
Have watched and waited

Silver threads of moonlight fallen,
Shadows echo shades of nights farewell.
Spiders eye a life now broken.
Sheathed in silence, ancient sounds now wake
Seems a promise, a tradition unbeknownst wont wait.
Brilliant fossil blind by faith, worn by fate.
Brings us love , brings us hate.
Brings us nothing. bring us bait.
