The weeks after Christmas
I searched through the house
for something to fit me
But couldn't find a blouse.
...
It was a grand do at Ella's
The champagne flowed free
Ladies only, no Fellas
Except Joe you see.
...
I was a of a hippy for a while
With chants of make love not war
A flower child wanting to be free
And didn't like the law.
...
The moon was lost behind a cloud
When something weird went by
I tried to see what it was
But it flew so fast and high.
...
Won't get me up there, can't get me to try,
Looking down a ravine, from a mile up in the sky,
What's heady for some, is nothing for another
A bit of bungee jumping, said my big brother.
...
My jeans zip is popping
My body’s gone all crazy
Everyone is noticing
My memories a bit hazy.
...
Humanity's ego, to resort to violence
To settle conflicts, makes no sense,
And yet we still have not learned
The art of peace for which we yearned.
...
Can you see my keys?
I can't remember where they are
I really need to find them
Or I can't get in the car,
...
Granddad were a grand chap
He wore a trilby
And a gabardine mac.
...
From Wigan to Australia I am bound
Emigrating to turn my life around
Twenty years a tradesman I have been
With spells of unemployment in between.
