Smack

I smacked my child tonight, he deliberately hurt his Brother.

Do I feel vindicated or ‘right’, no I do not.

Kids

I want to make my kids laugh
I need to feel their love waft (over me)
I want them to be decent kids
I try hard to not blow my lid

New Town

Thank you for moving us to a new town,
Thank you for ripping every shred of originality from our being,

Day After Day

Loneliness is a crowded room,
happiness is a loaded gun,
Fruitfulness is a passive myth
Real life, lost it's sense of fun

Stephen Patrick Morrissey
