I decided to throw a sickie,
I thought; What the hell?!
But I knew it would be tricky
convincing work I was not well.
I’m not the type to take the Mickey,
I’m normally as good as gold
And I was feeling a little bit dicky,
if the truth be told.
I just needed a day off or two
but had used all my holidays,
And I knew I would not be up to
doing very much anyways.

When I rang, I coughed and spluttered,
convincing as could be!
I won’t be in today I muttered,
ever so hoarsely.
I think I have an infection
but I’m not really sure,
My stomach keeps retching
and I have a temperature.
I have not slept since yesterday
with a pounding headache,
I think coming in to work today
would be a huge mistake!

“That is totally unacceptable”!
was the unexpected response,
“You will be in so much trouble
unless you come to work at once”!
“You had better come in this morning!”
“This is just not good enough!”
“Or I will give you a final warning,
and you can pack up your stuff”!
“If you do not come in today,
don’t ever bother coming back”!
“if you are not in work straightaway,
I will give you the sack”!

I was somewhat taken aback,
I could not believe my ears
To be threatened with the sack
after working hard for years!
I think I went into shock,
I was suddenly left reeling!
I was in an awful ****,
Twice as bad I was feeling!
I could not help but stress,
I could not believe it was true.
So I went to work under duress,
what else could I do?

I was not long at my work station
when spark out cold I went!
Causing great consternation,
It was a major incident!
And when it was discovered
what had actually gone on,
before I had even recovered
the manager responsible was gone!
Thank God I recovered fully
after some rest and recuperation
and was able to retire comfortably
on my substantial compensation!

For all managers, a lesson
When people ring in sick,
You should never go off on one!
There’s no point getting thick!
You may be the one they fire
Where would be the gain?
And the target of your ire
may never have to work again!
You need to tread more carefully
In this litigious age,
You need to have the ability
To control your rage!
You may have a job to do
Lots of boxes you must tick
But if this is why they fire you,
Would you not be Sick?!

While on a beach, when she kissed me with the urgency of a sensitive poison, I could not help but scatter across the shore-lengths, the households of my heart, allowing room only for the remedy, I looked beyond her and forgot to make room for her smile, that went unnoticed fading as a shadow on my face.

My very soul yearns for even a glimpse of you God.
For the relationship to draw even closer to you then now.
My very soul needs your healing hands to heal me now.
For there is none other, that I can run to like you Lord.
For your love is better then owning the rights to a chlorate factory.
Your Love is Greater then to become the President of the USA.
For your Love last forever, you are my Everything Lord God.
I shall always do my very best to chase after you Lord Savior.
For what is Life worth , nothing unless you are in it Lord Jesus.

Where the trees stand like sentinels on guard, in the glade,



And the sun pours molten honey, dappling, through their shade,



And the carpet of bluebells claim the sound of our steps,



We come to talk our lives, we made so complex.



We hide in the shadows, our lives lived in guilt,



Trying to end this, before, crimson tears are spilt.



But the hunger of our hearts is not so easily spent,



For the fire of the sun, ignites the feelings lent.



And within the flowers perfume, we get high on our love,



And the sun spills golden amulets from up above,



And then we merge into the blue as a flowing river,



Silent, mute, enchanted, only our bodies now quiver.



And I knew love at that time by the name it was called,



Secrets within, on my hands and knees I would crawl.



For you my silhouette, shadow, my dark secret,



I need to say goodbye before the sun has set.



And tomorrow, if your guilt, should extinguish our desire,



In me you will find the same, no burning embers in the fire.

Do you think of other women when we make love
No, no, and definitely no
I do
Well, I’m pleased for him and you, and really pleased if it’s her and you.
Strange how you mentioned Mary in your sleep.
Well I can hardly be responsible for my subconscious, plus I don’t know any Marys.
What about her in Liverpool.
Lets not go there again.
Mary, three gardens down with the *****.
Ah, that was a text alert from Jeff the bird watcher, something about a rare speckled breast, never saw it myself.
Not even with they perv binoculars you use, I mean how would you feel if some guy was perving over me.
He  wouldn’t be, you’re not perv material. Now if it was your twin sister, then that’s a definite text alert, how is she anyway.
Probably on her back with the Air Corp.
I would love to be in that flyby.
Yeah, well you would know all about flying with my sister.
I thought she was you.
She’s got blond hair and ******* for christsakes.
I thought you had a makeover. How did she get bigger **** than you anyway, did you get the brains.
Let me see, I’m with you.
There you go, no need to answer that, why don’t I take you for some retail therapy, followed by a candlelit dinner, and wait for it, the big game is on tonight, does it get any better than that.
Twenty two guys kicking a ball, think I'll phone my sister, that flyby sounds more appealing now.

little Tommy tortoise he was getting bored
he booked himself a holiday and took a trip abroad
he packed up lettuce leaves so that he could eat
for a little snack this was his favorite treat
landed in Hawaii and headed for the sand
ready for some fun in this foreign land
he came across a turtle swimming in the sea
looking just like Tommy a relative was he
they swam along together underneath the sun
splashing in the water enjoying all the fun
suddenly they saw a dolphin near by
then he said hello with his dolphin cry
dolphin he joined in and began to play
happy as can be as they played away
he took them for a ride on his dolphin tail
out into the ocean he began to sail
then he took them back to where they were before
back to where they started along the sandy shore
dolphin had to go it was time for tea
he waved and said goodbye then back in to the sea
Tommy he was happy so was turtle too
having lots of fun in the sea so blue
Tommy had enjoyed his little holiday
it brought him lots of happiness and his boredom went away
