When the pen takes control.

My girlfriend and I looked up the street

decided to go in the pub to eat

she said I’m not going in there

because I haven’t done my hair

so I said but it always looks very neat

Seals live in the sea

so need not feet but flippers

by divine design

You might find these words quite funny

I’m going to talk about the humble bunny

quite famous for its power to replicate

they are very difficult to eradicate

they’ve been attacked with gas and gun

but the latter was really just for fun

but the method that everyone seemed to notice

was the man-made disease, they call myxomatosis

This stark, six-sided monstrosity

is used as a bird observatory

but the rooftop cupola gives a clue

as to the job it was built to do

for every night and on foggy days

a bright light would shine out through the haze

this nightly shining man-made moon

whose bright beams pierce the the dark and gloom

warning sailors on vessels out at sea

you had better not come too close to me

for beneath the cliffs on which I stand

lie unseen rocks and shifting sands

so my advice is to turn away

and you will live to sail on another day

The lone survivor

leaves the last exploding star

tears won’t fill the void

Jean Claude was different to the other boys

this you could tell by the cut of his clothes

as he tilted his head with cool elegance and poise

it was so easy to strike a classical pose

he was the star of the dramatic society

as he performed with a great deal of aplomb

but when asked from where came his ability

he was loathe to say it was probably from

a forgotten great uncle who had once been on trial

and was reputed to have been a close friend of Wilde

Walking through the woods on a nice Spring day

I was just whiling my time away

but one of the sights left me quite forlorn

a nasty tree pointing the finger of scorn

so I went back home just because

that nasty tree had left me in a fuzz

The river of life

will roll on relentlessly

ripples form and fade
