In the darkness where the barn owl fly’s
Where thatch over sandstone lay
In the darkness as the village sleep
Where the bats come out to play
...
A pile of dirty dishes
On the worktop by the sink
Await hot soapy water
For a wash up soon I think
...
A broken wheel
Lay in the dust
Split in two
Where once it rust
...
Lots of tape
Coloured red
Used by council
Jobs worth led
...
I’m stuck in a loop
And getting nowhere
Nobody listens
They don’t even care
...
I don’t mean to complain
But it has to be said
The mouse on my laptop
Appears to be dead
...
Copper kettle boiling hot
Over the blazing fire
Blackened bottom nearly shot
Repair it will require
...
What a great gift
For when you retire
A gold pocket watch
To help watch time expire
...
Into the night sky
An owl took to wing
Beginning his hunting
For food home to bring
...
The cowboys all dug a large pit
Around which some boulders did fit
Then piled up the wood which lit
To keep the cold out where they sit
...
