Pecking and scratching
Searching for little morsels,
Let's feed the chickens!

Your eyes are gossiping my love,
And your speech is silent,
Tongued with eyes.

It's Motorhead!
They're Live, not dead!
And I bet that both your eardrums bled!

You're just out of school,
And there's no fool like an old fool!
Life is so cruel!

What's that you said?
I've been listening a lot to Motorhead,
Now I'm BRAIN DEAD! !

You've got me sussed!
Looking at your large and friendly bust,
I'm filled with lust!

Lonely Poet's Complaint

No-one seems to read my verse!
Is it getting worse?
Or am I under some kind of curse?

Odi et amo (after Catullus)

Loving and hating you's all very well,
But why do I do it when I'm going through hell?

They never speak of love,
They just plant bombs.
'By their fruits ye shall know them'.

Old Acquaintance

A little bit older,
A little bit colder,
And a helluva gigantic chip on your shoulder! !
