Bunny Baker

My dog is dirty
It’s messed up the floor
I don’t need this hassle
I don’t want any more
...

The room looks lonely now
In despair of the nights activity
Bedraggled and covered
With spilt alcohol and ash
...

A yellow capped flower dances in the breeze
Which seems strange considering the stillness of the sky
Grass shivers and sways like a shiny green blanket, rippling and ruffled
Chaffinch and rook echo through the tranquillity
...

There was a young lady called Rosemary Baker,
It was said she could work yet no-one could make her.

She was pretty, most clever and occasionally flirty
...

I never lost my umbrella, nor did she ever lose me.
Misplaced on occasions tho' temporary.

Other brollies have come, but come only to leave.
...

What the hell is this I see?
On the first day of the tenancy
It really is a sight to behold
Dirty carpet overrun with mould
...

It's 5.01 and the night has blocked out the day
The lemmings leave their luminous buildings
Heading for a happy hour to keep the blues at bay
...

She has a fake blue flower in her hair
A lanyard round her neck says ‘I have a twitch'
She says people laugh and call her a witch
I smile and tell her, ‘we are nicer in the northern air'
...

I woke up early this morning
With feeling that I’ve never had
There was Nostalgia Pain and Sorrow
I thought that I’d gone mad
...

It was a bad lamb and a mad lamb and it wanted a piece of meat
It didn't want any bloody grass like it was supposed to eat
It pulled its lips back in a snarl and bared its herbivorous teeth
And snorted through its nose like some wild and dangerous beast
...

Rip up the houses
Rip them all down
Replace them with factories
Replace them with towns
...

If you are a friend
Then give me something
A present or something like that
That’s what friends are for
...

It blew my head off
After just one glass
I thought I would be alright
I didn’t want to start a fight
...

Although the sun shines
Nothing can erase the smog
Bleak, baron buildings surround
The tedious toil of the cog
...
