Paul Warren Poems

I ride along the dog proof fence
To repair it as the dingo defence
I like it because I am by myself
Under the sun and stars is my wealth
...

Walk on the wild side
So the old song rides
As you talk it through
So cool to think of it too
...

In Belgium I walked the Deadman's Road
Seemingly a dirt road of no consequence
It is not even sealed in 100 years history
But when Pozieres was part of the Western Front
...

The Zulu were great African warriors
Ruling Central African harshly, history will infer
And they defeated the British in battle
Shaking their 19th Century Empire as rattled
...

It was such a wonderful day
One you don't waste today
The sun was a yellow ball
And not a drop of rain at all
...

I was looking at my music collection
Which in its day was music perfection
But now it is the golden oldies tradition
For playing at a drive in movie intermission
...

Record shops were wondrous places
All new music in the rack and races
With Albums to flick right through
And what you wanted was up to you
...

I'm gonna ride those streets again
And this time I know I will win
The bright lights, loud music and you
Cruisin' - no thoughts of losing too
...

As I get older
And my life winds down
I think of you more now
Each day
...

Games people play
For their opinions to be swayed
Don't play your own cards
And you'll go the whole nine yards
...
