Richard Sockett Poems

Rolex on the wrist, flash car in the drive
Ice bucket cooling French champagne, happy to be alive
Country house immaculate looked after by a butler
High society dinner, knives and forks supplied by the master cutler
...

I know someone who loves me far too much
But there are some places you are not allowed to touch
He says its our big secret and says I must not tell
But it hurts so much that I just want to yell
...

Infuriatingly frustrating trying to find just the right person to speak to on the phone

Tediously calling people asking for the manager, its like getting blood out of a stone
...

Water thunders from the taps to form a warm relaxing pool
Every dropp feels just right, not too hot or cool
...

Mobile phones are a great invention that I can't do without
Yuppies in the 80's made them popular, the size of bricks they used to shout
...

At last the big day has come
Happy times for most but sad days for some
A big new adventure awaits in September
My girl is hoping to be a school choir member
...

There is so much I want to say about how much you meant to me
Role model, friend, teacher, the best gardener you ever did see
Images of the world perfectly captured by your water colour brush
Birds in the garden well fed at the table, my favourite the song thrush
...

People of God, gather together in joyful praise
Resounding songs of worship, our voices we will raise
Amen to the Lord who came to save
Inside everyone of us is a spirit God gave
...

Built of brick standing tall and strong
Lovingly tended garden in which birds sing their evening song
Each tile on the roof keeps out the weather
Stretched out in the room, lounging on a sofa made of leather
...

Thank you God for my beautiful wife
One cannot compare to the love of my life
Together we stand arm in arm
Angels watching over us, we won't come to any harm
...

Merry Christmas everyone tis the season to be jolly
Ice bucket filled ready for the bubbly and decorated with a sprig of holly
Santa Claus is on his way, leave him out a glass of beer
Time for a toast, lets spread the festive cheer
...

Hot fish and chips steaming on a tray
Even better with mushy peas to keep the hunger pangs at bay
Aromatic herbs and spices bubble in a curry
Vines are stripped of precious grapes, but its important not to hurry
...

Annoying bleeps and robotic voices fill my head
Nobody at home or can't get out of bed
Soothing tones plead with me to leave my name and number
When will I hear a human voice to wake me from my slumber
...

Powerful judges wear powdery white wigs
Overlords of authority snap their fingers like dry twigs
Experts on the law they know whats right from wrong
The panel on the X Factor give their verdict on an awful song
...

Down your tools on Friday night, its time to hit the pub
Rounds bought for friends, menus read lets order some grub
Inside the pub find somewhere cozy by the fire
Nothing compares to a nice cold beer, of that I will never tire
...

Floral displays of every colour catch the eye
Lilys of white adorn a coffin when we say goodbye
Oranges and yellows reflect the mood of summer
Wild meadow flowers inspire a song sung by a busking strummer
...

Brilliant products you can't live without catch your eye
Egg timers, floor mops and dishes for a pie
Take a look through your book, quick, you only have a week
Then write your order and leave it on the step for me to seek
...

Fans waiting and hoping at the gate
Over excited singing as teams await their fate
Our hopes and dreams played out on the pitch
Training and tactics help teams win without a hitch
...

Father thank you for this brand new day
Adoration comes to you Lord every time we pray
Intercede for us when we close our eyes and seek your face
This house of God if full of love and grace
...

Telephone marketing expertise the sign says on the wall
Operators busy beavering away eagerly awaiting the next call

Answering machines blurt out the fact that no one is at home
...

The Best Poem Of Richard Sockett

Rich Man Poor Man

Rolex on the wrist, flash car in the drive
Ice bucket cooling French champagne, happy to be alive
Country house immaculate looked after by a butler
High society dinner, knives and forks supplied by the master cutler

Millions in the bank, not earned but handed on a plate
Arriving in his private jet he orders caviar by the crate
Nothing could be finer when relaxing on a luxury liner

Poverty stricken homeless person shuffles in bare feet
Out of luck and down at heel he wanders up and down the street
On his own no one to turn to he thinks all hope is lost
Roof over his head is what he seeks hopefully at no cost

Men from the local church befriend him and turn his life around
Amazed by his change of fortune, off the streets safe and sound
Never give up if life seems bad, there are people out there who will make you glad
