Polar bears in summer

Europe’s finest can be found here on the weekends,Trying hard to be cool and fit into the local scene,Weekend warriors hoping to make it in the big city,Luck may find them the partner of their dreams.After a long hot lazy day spent on the sandy beach,It’s time to clean up and hit the city at night,With sand and sea salt still gritting between teeth,A few long ice cool beers will go down just right.By nine pm the clubs and pubs are really rocking,Beer gardens prove to be a big relief from the…See More

Who will look after me?

The transparent tube lies on the floor from the oxygen bottle to his nose,His lungs are in deep decay, asbestos slowly killing them every day,Years of cutting asbestos sheets sucking down a lung full with every breath,He spits up pieces of bloodstained lung as a searing pain rips across his chest.How he used to laugh at the younger guys, when he saw them using a mask,They called them soft girlie boys, but they are the ones that will laugh the last,The wheelchair has become a second skin as he…See More

The Fox and the Rabbit

Mr. Rabbit he was out of luck, he tried and tried but could find no workFeeling sad he starts to weep, he has no money, no place to sleepJust then the clever fox passed by and said Mr. Rabbit why do you cry?Come stay with me and pay no rent, for I heard you say, your monies spentMy house is warm and buried from the sun, and far away from the farmer’s gunThere are vegetables for you to eat; as well I know that you do not eat meatI will give you sweets for all the little bunniesIt will make them…See More

Will I wont I

Let’s go back to the late seventies; I had been contemplating it for quite some time,In the spring of nineteen seventy eight, change was in the air and it was time for mine,It was not the ridicule that worried me; it was more the longer lasting effects,My friends would take the piss anyway but if it all went wrong I was totally bollixed.One Friday evening after work I called into Anna’s to make an appointment,Next week at the same time she would make sure that I was not disappointed,She knew…See More

Lost

Time itself has come to an end, as she lies all alone in the hospital bed,How can anyone else begin to understand the numb feeling inside her head?It feels like her soul has been ripped out and her fragile body thorn apart,Absolute devastation as an icy grip tightens around her poor broken heart.Nature has turned its back on her, after it had sent her on her happy way,With the promise of great expectations for the little miracle they had made,Why are some blessed many times and others left to…See More

Freckles

Blue denim was the order of the day, both to wear or as a new cool deodorant,We were seventeen and ready for anything, and every new girlfriend was heaven sent,Wrangler jeans and jackets kept us comfortably in fashion and always ready to go,Trench coats kept the alcohol hidden, whenever we travelled out of town to a disco.Pints of beer and the odd half one filled us with confidence and false courage,As we boxed well above our weight on occasion, we always stood up to be judged,Hitch a ride then…See More

The Entertainers

A bed came through the front bedroom window on a fine sunny afternoon,With the promise that she would follow it, if his supper was not ready soon,Another match made in heaven and all good things comes to he who waits,She watches him devour his supper and afterwards washes up his plate.To say they have a few problems would be the understatement of the year,But home is where the heart is even if it means the odd belt around the ears,These two lost souls found each other afterhours sitting…See More

Europe’s finest can be found here on the weekends,

Trying hard to be cool and fit into the local scene,

Weekend warriors hoping to make it in the big city,

Luck may find them the partner of their dreams.

After a long hot lazy day spent on the sandy beach,

It’s time to clean up and hit the city at night,

With sand and sea salt still gritting between teeth,

A few long ice cool beers will go down just right.

By nine pm the clubs and pubs are really…

Mr. Rabbit he was out of luck, he tried and tried but could find no work

Feeling sad he starts to weep, he has no money, no place to sleep

Just then the clever fox passed by and said Mr. Rabbit why do you cry?

Come stay with me and pay no rent, for I heard you say, your monies spent

My house is warm and buried from the sun, and far away from the farmer’s gun

There are vegetables for you to eat; as well I know that you do not eat meat

I will give you sweets for…
