F I try to tell a story with a beginning, middle and an end but don't get mixed up with the singer and the song except, sometimes...
I remember being a new-born lamb kicking my heels high, high, with joyful bleats, bah, bahing, at tuts and frowns from my dam needing me to hide mid the bleating sheep. But I sought answers, chewed the hows and whys, among the grass-nibbling, nose-down, docile flock my eyes searched for fields higher in the sky where grass must be greener but, just got mocked... Time passed and winds blew a sense of unease old ones seemed to roam off, new ones were born, but I knew my ma's love would never cease I turn to her for comfort but, she's gone. Ma! Ma! I had a Ma! I bleat, I did! Nose down, I search cropped grass for where she's hid...

Little Spring-Lamb...
God spilled the glow of magic dust He'd got it swirled round and round and got up his nose, He, Achooed it all up Eve's Honeypot! So fellas now you know on your last shot when you wonder why your thingy don't grow God spilled the glow of magic dust He'd got... Although it kinda puts you on the spot there's this secret not many of you know He Achooed it all up Eve's Honeypot! Yeah, yeah, it's tiresome when you get hot and nothing's happening just down below God spilled the glow of magic dust He'd got, And you're gonna get nought but diddly squat so I guess you've just gotta go with God's flow, He Achooed it all up Eve's Honeypot! So, where's Adam in this, him? I forgot, Perhaps he's looking hard as he seeks Eve's glow God spilled that glow of magic dust He'd got And Achooed it all up Eve's Honeypot... A villanelle.

Bless You!
Some rely on cleaning machines   the vacuum to **** up the dust,   and one to scrub floors gleaming clean   replacing same when those get bust.   A hammer, these, to crack that nut   as I think of the leccy price   you can hear me go tut tut tut cloth, mop and pail for me, suffice.   No smart sweat-top, nor cut off jeans   but **** nekked I swing my ****   to make dust motes fly in sun beams   my mind flies with these, as it must...   momentarily, till I'm pushed   by brush in hand and in a trice   I'm back to Earth to strut my stuff   cloth, mop and pail for me, suffice.   A cloth, Acdo, a mop some bleach   my **** high nose down as I scrub,   recalling grandma's quick brief screach   quickly cured by her back-hand rub.   The bleach does it to me, I blub,   at memories that sting enticed,   as I rinse out my cloth in the tub,   cloth, mop and pail for me, suffice.   Not for me the machine's hub-hub   If offered I say " ain't my vice "   I'll keep my Aladdin's lamp to rub   cloth, mop and pail for me, suffice.

The Ballade (of my ) Weekly Clean
The big-bang blew out this universe   from bubblegum blown by some deity,   huge non-existent lips were pursed   then blew and blew with some great glee  then quarks and electrons came to be   from its spittle as the bubble grew   but the thing which is chewing on me   what did Newton's Third Law get to do?      Coz, I've heard there's no front nor obverse,   or insides to a singularity,   nothing for the Third to push in reverse     no equal and opposite reaction, see?   But still something blows and with glee   thick as a Plank I haven't a clue,   my head aches now, that's reality,   out of nothing a universe spewed?      When I was a kid,  mother got terse   and berated me if I chewed chewy,     she'd not shout nor stamp and not curse   just say " mucky stuff, waste o' money."   But she got a laugh thought it funny     when inevitably my bubble blew,   and left my face gummed and clarty   but if this bubble bursts, I guess we're *******

When the Bubble Bursts
" On the ground! " was screamed at the man in flames the police were baffled at what could be done, " get down on the ground !" was screamed yet again Their guns pointing as the man writhed in pain why should they care it's not their Bro' or son " on the ground! " was screamed at the man in flames, I guess the policemen felt kinda lame a burning man is no threat to anyone, " but, down on the ground! " was screamed yet again Burning tendons stretched his hands up in vain there was no way the burning man could run " down on the ground " screamed at the man in flames, Hands holding guns began to show the strain as burning fats flared to outshine the sun but, " down on the ground " was screamed yet again Later their bosses played the old blame game But the police were lost totally stunned, " On the ground " was screamed at the man in flames And " down on the ground " was screamed yet again.

The Burning Man...
He carries round his window cleaning gear whistling some well known bohemian air, wears gold earrings, (street cred' is now so dear) and runs up his ladders like bedroom stairs. Tanned and sleek, full of self-confident wealth, he growls, '' you're next !"  (in hope to hear a purr?) rippling muscles, bouncing around with health, with a chest full of lush, gorilla, fur... He cleans windows like an athletic cat stalks those streets, an animal on the hunt, but I know the repertoire, all the chat, and the ****** way he says '' back'n front ? '' '' Shall I do your inside's, there's not a spot missed? '' As I'm paying him I think, '' Yeah... as if! ''

As if?
Though the Oomegoolie bird was well endowed       it made its nest among sharp cacti plants     then caws out oomegoolies very loud,          On return to his nest ***** and proud,     to bill and coo to find then squeak, " I can't "     tho' the Oomegoolie bird was well endowed...          So he lived, celibate, not on a  cloud     no Ma to confide, no sis, Pa, or aunt       tho' he cawed out oomegoolies very loud,          And no mate to mate that he could've wowed     his world lacked even a sniff of talent       tho' the Oomegoolie bird was well endowed,          That's why you'll not see these flock like a crowd     and twitchers sightings are now somewhat scant     tho' he cawed oomegoolies very loud,          Wrap him stiff, at last, in his spiky shroud     There was no hope for this would be gallant,     Tho' he cawed oomegoolies very loud     The Oomegoolie bird was well endowed.

The last of the Oomegoolie Birds
I regaled my land with thunderings of merriment           lighting my dark chuckles with bright flash of wit,           I tickled trees, seas, oceans, till my joke was spent           then rested to gather strengths to blow my season's blitz.           Now I blast you foul storms your puny ambitions befit,           as I reign over you tempestuously  crack and clap           your puny stone buildings I will blast and split           and rend your clothes and silly flags to scraps, as they flap...                    I blame you, you blustering creatures, for downpouring of my ire           you forever chasing seasons of ease,           climbing up for the secret of eternal fire,         to power your life and turn my gales to balmy breeze...     How dare you make my clouds weep, with stormy seeds,           I am the life spreading Storm, you cannot control,           I view you shower as a damping turbulent disease           but, it may be, you do have a role?                    I will blow you down to a gory smear           across your burnt and blasted arid lands,           till nothing remains not even a tear           then scour you gone with my whirlwinding sands.         Your poisoned flesh, not fit for Earth's viands,           but your bones, your dry bleached bones         will nourish my green and pleasant sphere,           till then I shall weather your howling, squalid, moans.

The I of the Storm
