There is evil all around
with a lurking presence
Inside of us it can be found
and from presidents through to peasants

It's ugliness is often plotted
but sometimes it's abrupt
and often too late when it's spotted
as it's made to erupt

With an explosion that's horrifying
but it's worth believing in
that while evil will continue trying
good will find a way to win

She was a damsel in distress
who ripped her wedding dress

the first time ever it was worn
now was brutally in half torn

with tears rolling down her face
she wished this day she could replace

but as she stumbled down the aisle
her face began to form a smile

she then her veil skywards threw
and let it rip with an "I DO"

What we write about means little
we're just a tiny drop
Nothing but a single skittle
in a chocolate shop

A grain of sand, a speck of dust
insignificant as an ant
A burnt useless piece of crust
that's not worth a cent

and yet each night these words we pen
and poems we complete
because even a single skittle can
make someone's evening sweet

My dog's a sleepopotamus
A carnivore gone wrong
The size of a hippopotamus
who sleeps all day long

He only wakes up once a day
that's only to get fed
The only time he wants to play
is when it's time for bed

and he'll rarely chase his tail
or ever chase his sticks
but he can half a cow inhale
in three or four good licks

Life is not a competition
just being happy you're alive
but without it we may lack ambition
with no desire and no drive

What we all want is a goal
A reward to quench our thirst
There is something deep inside our soul
that wants us to be first

But sometimes in life all you need
without trying to be fast
is great friends, drinks and a tasty feed
and I'll happily finish last

In the beginning there was nothing
then a coffee bean popped up
suddenly hot milk started frothing
with steam rising from a cup

There was sipping, there was slurping
with loud sighs of ohh and ahh
there was dipping, there was burping
and people laughing hahaha

Then on the seventh day God rested
that's when all of us got busy
so much caffeine was ingested
it still makes our planet dizzy

Why do some people become mad
when they get behind the wheel
Did they wake up from the wrong side of the bed
and forgot their morning pill ?

It's as if they're suddenly someone else
the minute that they start to drive
their mouth vile obscenities yells
you'd think the devil came alive

Although I know exactly how that feels
with my sudden change of face
When I put on a skirt and my pink high heels
and Friday evenings become Grace
