Ted Sheridan Poems

Hey Mate could you lend me a few extra Quid
I need to buy me someone to love me tonight
Me wife ran off with a much younger man than I
Leaving me here with pounds of wretched squalor__
...

There was nothing beautiful left for me
Beyond the front door of my imprisonment
There wasn’t a soundproof booth, where I could scream
No safe haven, where I could protect those others,
...

There are things in life that everybody wants….
She believes that in order to find the perfect shell
one has to comb a lot of beaches; walking for miles
barefoot in the foamy wash, with the sun by your side
...

There was the flash of cold steel
as the long thin blades of the scissors
disappeared into the fine fabric of his heavy coat
Drunk and passed out.....
...

The little boy closes his big brown innocent eyes and slowly
Very slowly
Starts to turn his body in a full and perfect tight circle
With his little arms outstretched and with his eyes still closed
...

Obamacare….


I was in pain and my heart beat like a cold hard anvil hammered
...

The grass grew virtually overnight; the Buttercups
so tall they spilled their beauty on the lawn
I have fallen behind in my everyday chores and duties;
the mower quit working and is demanding a raise.
...

I’m a liar and a thief with both hands and my tongue removed

Welcome to my world you Muslim mother f-kers
...

A fool calls up his friends
but none of them answer their phone
because they don’t have the time
to be bothered by his stupid questions.
...

She cries because she loves me
I being unworthy of her love
Leave her sad because she believes
I’d rather write about us
...
