Her Majesty

Her majesty is in residence
The throng, the pageant is evident
Her service to the nation
Effort in the great conflict also to mention
Warmth from nations far and wide
With her towering spouse by her side
The occasional boob made by the duke
Illicited humorous warm rebuke
Flags flying though rooted to the spot
Guns signal shot after shot
Shrieks as the red arrows fly by
Necks and cameras craned to the sky
Her majesty, always at home
Full entourage in attendance with their performance honed
Britannia, known by all, docks and is welcomed by all
strong of will and stature never to make a fall
Concern for her husband, he's had a turn
He's made of sturdy stuff, normal health will soon return
As our public holiday comes to an end
Crowds mingle, among them many will have made a friend

Who Killed Cock Robin?

What a calamity!
What is this that has befallen the valley?
No dawn chorus
No Shep, the sheepdog to meet the bus
Simon rooster has no wish to crow
Mellow lark has no get-up-and go
Natures community has never known it so dark
As the days wear on, still they come
We can’t say when the homage will be done
Who could commit this mortal sin
Still..cold..lifeless lies Cock Robin
Inspector Mole, determined to find the killer
Scrutinises all, in effort to identify the sinner
There may be a list of suspects and many a confession
To find the truth he will make it his obsession
He has the one
Little Tommy Tucker, the farmer’s son
What befell the man to give the boy a gun?
Dusk till dawn this man would toil
Hoeing..planting.. and reaping the soil

Hide A-way

THE DARKEST SHADOWS, THE LONELIEST PLACES
THE UNWELCOMING LAIR OF DENIZENS
WHERE THERE MIGHT BE NO TRACES
HIDEY HOLES TO RETREAT FROM SOCIETY
OUT OF TOUCH UNABLE TO RECEIVE ANY PITY
CUT OFF FROM SCRUTINY AND GLARE
FEELING THAT EVERY EYE AT YOU WILL STARE
FEELINGS OF DIMININSHED ESTEEM
RARELY WANTING TO BE SEEN
MORE THAN ENOUGH FINGERS TO COUNT YOUR SUCCESSES
AND ENOUGH TO DOCUMENT YOUR EXCESSES
TURNING RIGHT INSTEAD OF LEFT
AND MISSING THE FOOD OF LIFE AND IT'S ZEST
LEARNING TO MAKE DO, HUMBLED AND EASILY SATED
THE CURTAIN OF LAUGHTER AND A BIG SMILE
WHERE, YOU'D EASILY RUN A MILE
KEEPER OF YOUR OWN COMPANY
SHUNNER OF CROWDS, FAVOURING WHERE THERE'S NOT MANY
LITTLE COACHING AND POOR NURTURING
MOSTLY SPAWNS ADULTS WITHOUT LIFES BLESSINGS

Prequel..cock Robin.

PREQUEL..COCK ROBIN.
THE DAWN MIST HANGS LOW THROUGHOUT THE VALLEY
CREATING THE SHROUD WHICH ALLOWS TIMID CREATURES TO VENTURE OUT
IN THE DISTANCE, THE WOOP OF A DOVE, RAT-TAT-TAT OF WOODPECKER RINGS OUT
SOON ALL LIFE TAKES THEIR PLACE, MAN AND ALL.
WOODCUTTER SAM COPPICES IN A SUSTAINABLE WAY
AS SOON AS HE IS GONE THE ANTS AND WOODLICE ARRIVE TO CART THE CHIPS AWAY
LIFE CAN BE SWEET HERE, HARMONY ENDURES
THE SQUIRREL AND THE JAY ARE ONE..THESE ARE MINE..THOSE ARE YOURS
BUT THERE'S SOMETHING MISSING, ROUTINE HAS FINALLY RELEASED THEIR MINDS
WHERE IS COCK ROBIN'S CHIRPING OF THE TWITTERING KIND?
HE MUST BE IN THE SOUTH OF THE VALLEY, SAY'S JOHN CROW
OH NO, THIS ISN'T THE DAY HE'D GO
SOON THE WORD HAD GONE OUT, COCK ROBIN HAS NOT BEEN SEEN
HE'LL RETURN BEFORE LONG AND TELL US WHERE HE'S BEEN
THE HOURS WEAR ON, THE RUMOURS ABOUND, ALL ARE LISTENING FOR THAT CHIPPY-CHIRPY SOUND
IN THE FOLLOWING DAYS WITH NO MORNING ACLAIM FROM COCK ROBIN
THE TEARS SHED ARE HIDDEN IN THE MISTY WETNESS OF THE MORNING.

Reeves..the Phenix.

The crowd gather, soon there’s a mob
They say they’re poor and don’t have a job
No thought of struggling shop owners
They get heartened as they gather on the corner
Smoke billows from many sources, will any building get away?
Many will hang their heads and remember this day
The excitement of an impending battle looms
As witnesses from windows hide in their rooms
More fires are lit and the excitement grows
Where this will end no one knows
As local businesses go up in smoke
Silence here, tears there as they realise this is no joke
A bandana covers this guys face, he’s there with his chum
His only fear is being recognised by his mum

The engine arrives, ducking constantly they turn on the pump
The fire has taken hold and from a window a woman jumps
No point sifting through the debris of that formally longstanding store
Where you could buy furniture to fit your stature
We can mentally help them grieve

A travelled man..a tribute to Mike Lyon.

I’VE BEEN A TRAVELING MAN EVEN BEFORE I WAS BORN
IT MATTERED NOT, A STORMY NIGHT OR A SUNNY MORN
A MONUMENTAL JOURNEY THAT WAS LIFE ITSELF
FOR NINE MONTHS I WRIGGLED AND THRASHED AND MADE MYSELF FELT

I WELCOMED THE WORLD, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
I ANNOUNCED MY PRESENCE WITH MY OWN PERSONAL SOUND
I EXPLORED THE FOUR CORNERS OF THE WORLD
IT GAVE ME THE INSPIRATION FOR THE LIFE I WOULD MOULD

MY KNOWLEDGE I HAD TO PROVE….CONFIRM
I MADE USE OF EVERY SCHOOL AND COLEGE TERM
THE MELODIES AND NOTES THAT HELPED MY MIND TO TICK
I ENVOKED SOME OF MY OWN WITH MY GUITAR PICK

THE LEGACY THAT IS MY OFFSPRING I WILL NEVER SURPASS
AS THEY DO ME PROUD AND STRIVE TO THE TOP OF THE CLASS

FATE HAS SENT ME TO THE RIGHT SCHOOL, I DIDN’T KNOW IT WAS TO MEET MY WIFE
THE UPS AND DOWNS, WORRY AND JOYS

The Devil in Kansas

The devil went up to Kansas looking for a soul to steal
Came across a hillbilly driving thunder with some new mag wheels
He said, I got my eye on your motor and I want to take a ride.
that ain't gonna happen, cause Suzy Mae never leaves my car and she's always by my side"
Devil's not impressed, you're sporting some power there and i'm gonna make it brief
I want that motor cause it's the best and since I'm no thief
I'll take your car and give you all you could ever want, all you could ever eat
The finest silks, you wouldn't ever dream of another treat
The devil has a muscle car And Suzy Mae's by his side
He likes the feel of it and is off for a ride
When he releases many horse of thunder
This is something he's never had, what's more it's bound to cure his hunger
Good vibrations begin to find places he'd forgot
And most of all it's even found his wotnot
Devil says, this charging around has got me too
Mile after mile is slipping by, this is fun, this I could do
Devil up in Kansas likes the look of suzy mae, he takes a look across and lets go of the wheel
Suzy mae's not impressed about the details of their deal
Keep your eyes on the road, your mind on the driving and your hands on the wheel
Devil's steaming down the highway passing sign after sign

Boadicea..a different view.

Boadicea revels in her womanhood, attributes overly blessed
Her voluptuous form is excited, but her hair is a mess
This covert and dangerous clandestine meeting
Allows no niceties or extended greeting
To cavort with this legionnaire
Would cost her kingdom, but love is never fair
She will lead her army, come daylight, against the Romans
But history makes no mention of the turmoil she as she indulges this romance

She will wield her sword well
And send this occupying force to the bowels of hell
She hopes in the throes of battle, not to have to have to face this handsome foe
Let someone else have that honour if it is so to be
This disciplined nation must be chased back across the sea

She envisions being burnt at the stake
this affair is a mistake
The urges of the flesh driven by the heart overcomes all rational decisions
She will make herself face the approaching legions
