Some are broke and some just crumble
A heated row from a misheard mumble
Fall from grace that fell into a stumble
Kissed the wrong sort that led to that fumble

Let's rebuild this bridge and let our waters again ripple
A bottle of plonk, possibly a Pinot Grigio
As differences can be rebuilt after a chat and a tipple

See, that's how bridges often burn
So let's get it out in the open,
and give at another turn

Broken Bridges

JJB

I know I'm no oil painting and punch above my weight
But God loves a trier, as in life we make our own fate
Because the mirror ain't my friend, avoiding my reflection
I seize up quick, I seize up fast, not wanting no attention
Though some seem to revel in being a good looker
Broken nose, bashed out teeth, years me playing that rugby ******
It sometimes works with a certain type, the rough and tumble man
Not clean cut Ken, sunbed skin, always topping up his fake tan
It's good to be a normal bloke, not caring for too much in this world
Just to wake up happy, change my daughters *****,
and be in love with my one and only girl.

Avoiding all mirrors
A calorie sinner
Dreaming every night
To wake up a little thinner

One time visit to the local gym
Membership cancelled, straight in the bin
I just to live my life in sin

Something to grab,
They're called love handles I'd brag
Now lets get upstairs for some lovin', its called a quick....

Being judged on TV by Hopkins and Feltz
As I lay in bed watching, listing to the heavy rain pelt
With clothes that just fit me, another notch on my expanding belt

But why be unhappy trying please the chosen few
Please yourself and not the judgemental crew
Were on here once my friend, so,
Let you just be you

JJB

A lot of people don't get an acronym
But some people are not as stupid as him
And to let me down on a daily basis is not an excuse to know the days of the week
But not to acknowledge isn't a skill I'd like seek
To be thick and I don't mean in the uneducated sense
Is not a trait I want, let's not sit on the fence
So please, get this pal,
See you next Tuesday
😉

JJB

I still wake up every morning, hoping this paraplegia has left me
Spinal paralysis a condition, with no get out fee
To walk, to run, even kick a football for fun
Are dreams I still crave, when doctors say I have none
But the brain will always desire,
for that day as I grapple and *****
As we all have our dreams in life,
and mine will always be that one thing,

Hope

JJB
