Flying Lemming Poems

Welcome to the concrete jungle safari
Please climb aboard if you want to travel with me
Keep arms inside all the time you’re on the tour
Of your personal safety I want to be sure
...

I’m a happy dog at the park
I yelp and woof and bark
Along with the sound
Us dogs run around
...

I’ve heard all kinds of music
From easy listening to heavy rock to blues
2 tone, ska and acid jazz, all made me move my shoes
...

You may have never heard of me but I have passed by you
Slinking around quietly is what I’m designed to do
Unnoticed, I’ve taunted you, I’m very sure of that
For I’m the mythical mystical magnetic cat
...

I took someone’s car and drove into the cops
I ran into a window while stealing from the shops
My attempts at thievery are all a load of flops
Karma is coming after me, yes it is
...

I’ve heard all kinds of music
From easy listening to heavy rock to blues
2 tone, ska and acid jazz, all made me move my shoes
...

I’m a faded years old statue
My dog’s chin on my knee
My nameplate’s worn and useless
No one knows who I used to be
...

Countless golden sparkling cathedrals
Bright coloured buildings breaking up tone
Parks full of life, bursting out beauty
The run down tower blocks called home
...

I met a man down on his luck
Life had treated him quite bad
I got him some tea and a bit of tuck
And he told me a tale so sad
...

Six days in and my mind has gone blank
Have I got a leak in my own think tank
Has easy living meant I have lost the drive
And passion to keep the skill alive
...
