How dare this child be born pushing through pain,
butting into the world a bloody stain !
Nature will punish the crimesince never loth
to issue life and death sentences both.

When young the future is infinite,
the space beyond the horizon,
but in time a faint mist forms,
thickening to a dark cloud
like a wild animal silently,
slowly padding toward you.

Dying might be difficult
but death is nothing

SAVANNAH
None too likely to be a star
but decorative way above par
and always ready to serve you a jar -
beauties behind the bar.

Some media play upon our fears
of illness, cancer, heart disease,
but it isn't play at all to them -
it's business, if you please !

POP SONG LYRICS
The words young girls so long to hear
but real-life boys so rarely say.

ILLOGICAL
If some-one is trying to murder me,
I am justified in killing him.
But if he does actually kill me,
he's then protected from being executed.


I really wish I could sleep on my back
but it's one ability I somehow lack.
No matter how long I've sometimes tried
I always end up turning on my side.


I don't like young attention seekers,
thinking they shouldn't be so vain
but have to admit that when they're older
they could be stars that entertain.


She wasn't at all attractive
but her attention massaged my ego.

Birdsong

I like to hear the cheep of a sparrow,
the cheerful trill of a robin.
I enjoy the warble of a blackbird,
the echo of a songthrush.
I now miss the twitter of a skylark
and I've never heard a nightingale.
But it's all just pleasant British birdsong,
less than human musical feats,
and exaggeration is surely wrong
as done by Shelley and Keats.
