Home Thick Blues

November 11, 2009

The country has been run,
Into the ground!
Blindly led for so long,
We’re subterranean.

Don’t forget your shovel,
If you want to go to work!
And dig your way out,
To breathe the air again.


Heard It On The Wind

October 31, 2009

Winter,
Just one day to go.
Hint heard,
Whispered by wind blow.


Hail Marys, Full Of…

October 27, 2009

Well Mary Harney said “shop around”,
Now Mary Coughlan says “shop at home”!
Not sure who’s the bigger clown,
But I know who’s got the bigger hole!

[In the public finances, of course]


Despair

October 26, 2009

When you’ve lost,
Everything.
When there’s nothing,
Else to give.
When you’re down,
And nearly out.
When a cry,
Can’t even shout.


The Duke & The King

October 18, 2009

Mindful Of What You Wish For

October 16, 2009

I wish I could stop wishing.
I think, I should.
I wish, I could.


Shooting Star

October 11, 2009

Fla-whoosh,
I just saw a shooting star,
It has been,
Such a long time!
I just glanced up,
And Yeeeee-Haw!
Small bright dot,
Trailing long line!


It’s Curtains For The Bull

October 7, 2009

O Donoghue agrees to resign,
But not until, next week!
Seven days to redesign,
His new office, what a cheek!


Moonlight In October

October 5, 2009

Resplendent moon-painted
October sky.
Hard to describe,
So I won’t even try.


Beech On Fire

October 3, 2009

Turning, as if burning,
See the beech tree leaves.
Fold tighter, hold tighter,
In more wind, less breeze.


Bedside Grammar

September 27, 2009

My head kinda hurts
My legs kinda throb
My bed kinda flirts
My pains kinda gone


Too Tired To Type

September 24, 2009

Tired

Too Tired
To Ty


Wilco – The Album

September 22, 2009

More of the same,
No bad thing!
More of the same,
Go lad sing!


Not Another Moaning Attempt?

September 20, 2009

My friend hear a tale,
Of my friend called, “The Bank”.
He gave loans to, a guy,
“The Developer”.

That same guy’s developments,
Stopped – point blank.
Bank charges me high,
Who’s cleverer?


Freak Gardening Accident

September 19, 2009

Split me forehead,
Splitting wood.
Splitting headache,
Don’t feel good.


Grizzly Bear – Veckatimest

September 16, 2009

Time will tell…
But first few listens,
Makes it, well…
Up there with them.
