Silt Edged

January 30, 2012

Almost over,
The worst of all months.
Almost sober,
The thirst alone hurts.
Almost lonely,
The hurt is short lived.
Almost golden,
The dirt is long sieved.


Chopin, At Night.

January 20, 2012

I will tell you one thing twice sir!
There’s surely nothing nicer,
Than Chopin piano at night, sir.
There’s surely nothing nicer,
Than Chopin piano at night, sir.


Wow! 2011 – What A Year

December 31, 2011

I reckon when we truly look back,
And it may be some years from now…
So full of stuff, this year was packed,
It might still be described with:
Wow!


What I Don’t Want For Christmas

December 21, 2011

I don’t want a DVD box set,
I don’t want a voucher,
I don’t want a little, yet
I don’t want a lot, sir.


Bashed Again

December 21, 2011

I get up
I get down
I get wet
I don’t drown
I let loose
I let drop
I let live
I don’t stop


Some Kids

December 14, 2011

Some kids are good at maths,
Some kids are good at that.
Some kids are good at sports,
Some kids are good at both.
Some kids are good at night,
Some kids are good at kites.
Some kids are good with birds,
Some kids know all the words.
Some kids are good full stop,
Some kids are good full stop.


If I Was A Girl…

December 9, 2011

Tonight,
I might swoon.
From the bright
Light,
Of a glorious moon.


Girls – Father, Son, Holy Ghost

December 9, 2011

An album that’s good these days,
T’is rare.
An album as good as this,
Unfair!

(Come In To My Heart)


What Is Depressing Is…

December 6, 2011

No voice
Giving choice
No leader
Leading either


Psalm Of The Grateful Man

December 6, 2011

I’ve got
A great life,
I’ve got
A great wife.
I’ve got
Great kids,
I’m what,
Grateful is..!


Achill Round

Stonehenge it ain’t,
Needsa licka paint.


Stupefied

November 28, 2011

These past few weeks have been stupefying,
All the cross makers started crucifying,
A few king makers got so used to crying,
That the emperor’s tailor just refused to buy in.


Smokin, Joe

November 15, 2011

As a young boy,
Really late at night,
I remember being awoken

By my elder brothers,
With some hushed words,
Hushed spoken

Downstairs to TV,
Fuzzy picture
Half-broken

Staring at Ali,
And Smokin Joe

My eyes and mouth,
Wide open.

In the end,
We are all just
Half hoping

Most things
Turn out to be,

Part fixed
And part broken.


My Middle Aged Few Cents

November 1, 2011

My belt has started to stretch,
My clothes are starting
To shrink.

My tummy’s not a suspect
Looks the same to me,
I think.

In the mirror
I look good
From afar.
This crap is just in my head.

And so begins the war,
With the middle aged spread.

Driving for hours every week,
To sit for more hours
At a desk.

Then slouch at each end of week,
In a comfy couch,
No less.

Booze, bread, cream and cheese,
Now my dreaded enemies.

You only get a few years,
Pretence.

Until you get
Less or more,

Middle aged sense.


Bands Apart

October 22, 2011

Westlife announce the split,
While they plan
Their farewell (and comeback!?) tour.
The Stone Roses heal the rift,
Want You Back?
We’re not so sure…


Blowout

October 20, 2011

I’d heard of a Morris Minor,
But now we’ve a Dana Divinor!
