Kelvin Rush Poems

You keep on asking as if we're blessed
There are no answers for us to digest
Man has no insight to the meaning of life
It's futile and full of pain and strife
...

The tiles aren't straight
Said Mrs Gee
The tiler replied
They look fine to me
...

How many leaves on the maple tree
I stopped counting at one hundred and thirty three
I got distracted by a Robin that came into view
Effortlessly dancing in the morning dew
...

Anxiously waiting to hear my fate
I feel dizzy and sick I'm in a terrible state
If I'm found guilty I may as well be dead
The thought of prison never leaves my head
...

Darren the decorator is three days late
The customer is angry and extremely irate
Good morning Mrs Radford how are you today
Mrs Radford doesn't say a word and coldly walks away
...

6.

Everyone's name is I
So anyone could have been you
When I's interact and go forwards and back
It's impossible to know what to do
...

Finally dear Walter
You've seen the light
They'll be no more pain
In your heart tonight
...

Busy Mr Woodlouse
Strolling along my floor
Seeking dark damp places
Heading for my back door
...

I don't know anyone
Who's happy and contented
I need to get away from here
Before I go demented
...

I'm on top of the building
Five hundred feet high
Convinced I will jump
Determined to die
...

The establishment wheels
Turn turn turn
Filthy imbeciles
Burn burn burn
...

Cute little Rosie chatterbox and nosy
Always gets in a muddle
Picky and choosy cheerful and snoozy
She'll give you a kiss and a cuddle
...

Those greedy slugs have scoffed the lot
I'm trying to unravel their devious plot
They left a maze of sticky slime
That's the only clue of this selfish crime
...

Big Fat Stella six foot four
Angry as hell knocking at my door
I told her daughter I want to break up
She burst into tears and gave me a right hook
...

Mary Slaughter I've seen your daughter
And she looks nothing like you
I think you ought to ask your daughter
If she's from Timbuktu
...

I'm singing so loud
I'm so happy today
I'm swimming in clouds
I suppose you could say
...

He's used all the milk that selfish Jack
His tea is white while mine is black
He's also scoffed the last custard cream
And the cups are dirty and never clean
...

The Meaning Of Life

You keep on asking as if we're blessed
There are no answers for us to digest
Man has no insight to the meaning of life
It's futile and full of pain and strife

Think about anything that comes in your head
Then never forget one day you'll be dead
It's hardly surprising that no one is sane
The drugs and the booze the lies and the pain

The reason for living is not found in a book
It's like having a dream but you never wake up
It can't be explained by sight or sound
It's magnificent and godlike immense and profound

It's short and sweet it's bitter and pure
It offers you thrills but gives you no cure
It's bloody and quaint it's violent and cruel
It pretends to be saint but acts like a fool

It rises in many and renders you weak
It causes such heartache it's coy and discrete
It knows you will suffer before you give in
It's cunning and stunning and determined to win

It shines like an angel it oozes with joy
It's willing and able to kill and destroy
It moves off in silence then strikes like a snake
God help all the ones who lie in its wake

It's confusing and baron and incredibly wise
It's intrusive and Aaron it laughs and it cries
It pretends to be clean when in fact it infects
It's rude and obscene and hard to detect

It always reacts and never forgets
It retains all its strength from the ones it protects
It creates then dictates then destroys all that's good
It debates and dilates and feeds off your blood

It's rigid and torrid corrupt and insane
It thrives on emotion like anger and pain
It lurks like a virus it's patient and calm
It's willing and able with swagger and charm

It comes out of nowhere with fire and gust
It's heartless and cold it's bold and robust
Nothing on earth can stand in its way
It flatters and shatters and batters its prey

So before you ask what's the meaning of life
Just remember my friend we're dumb and so blind
We're specs on this earth of no consequence
We're meaningless parasites an insignificance
