Every Now and Then

Sent packing by immigration hard chaws,
Backpackers from Plano, Texas!
I hope they return with chainsaws,
And visit Rathkeale to vex us!

My first time,
To see one live,
I called to all,
Come see quickly!
So we watched him
Womble as blind,
Trawling long, fat
And prickly!

Banking our money, in
A dead bank, Jack!
That’s just not funny, in
Fact, that’s daft!

“I think”, is usually the phrase
They start with and then you can bet
In their, non-scientific haze
That’s the most correct they will get!

Quiet in my home.
Time spent all alone
Is exactly like a comb,
That baldy men would own.

First match has now been struck,
And it lit up centre court..!
How cares how long it took,
Fireworks, their wait is worth..!

It rains in the middle, of summer.
My brains a riddle, I shudder
To think of a recent, decent other
Thought, my brain did utter.

So smiley
Jo Whiley,
Cool smile, she
Jo Whiley!

So many murders,
I can’t keep up.
Losing a life like,
Drowning a pup.

You recycle,
You trifle,
You ride a bi-cycle.
You have good intention,
You have a good pension.
You talk,
You balk,
You bark more than bite.
You wake early morning,
You shake late at night.
You feel good perhaps,
You may even feel great.
You will have relapse,
You will make mistakes.
You might well inform,
You teach but you bore.
You fight a false war,
You preach and I snore.

In 2010 will this din greet us?
Tell me when ball hits the net..!
Sounds like a million mosquitoes,
Buzzing through my TV set..!

Bats, man!
Tonight,
There were four or five,
Flying round and round me garden!

Watch man!
In flight,
They skit and dive,
Winged mammals, how alarming!

Sun came out, and then pure heaven.
Warm, the whole day long.
And long it was, sunset near eleven.
Birds wait till late for last song.

Is there any man,
Who is more annoying..?
He grates deadpan,
Eardrum destroying..!

I’m addicted to cricket
I’m sticky to wicket
This twenty twenty
Gives plenty plenty

Ticket,
Took it,
Admit it,
Fuck it.
