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
...

Stop It Now

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

A Bad Day At Work

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

We Love Bathtime

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

My Mobile Phones

The Last Day Of School

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

Tribute To My Dad

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
...

Praise And Worship

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
...

9.
Bless This House

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
...

Totally Devoted

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
