You can't believe it
so
how do you think I feel?

approaching three score and ten
and
I'm wondering
what happens then,

do dancing girls appear
do sirens sing in my ear?

I am
and still am
although
I have no idea why.

is there a plan B?
said She,
and she knew that
there had to be

and the idea came
I
could be different
and not done yet again

She's easy on the eyes
wise beyond her years
and She has a few of those
tucked under her bodice.

I never notice but I always
see
that She means more than
the world to me.

water in a bucket,
which
is not what I expected.

No Genie
to beam me
up
just water
to wash me
down.

what did yesterday teach us?

well
all those sunbeams that jesus wanted.
he saved
and whatever he saved them in
burst wide open,
and we got four years' worth of sun in a day
so
when 'jesus wants me for a sunbeam'
I might just be one.

are you singing now or did you never go
to Sunday School?

Sounds like
anything you'd like it to be,

I'd like it to be
She,
whispering
loud and clear
in my ear
xxxx

The kitchen was running a temperature
the chef was having a fit
I was in the bathroom
having a crafty
smoke,

what else?

naughty taught me
how not to get caught
but you
catch me every time.

What a day
work away
sweat away
get no pay,
oh
that's not true,
the compensation for my labour
does not make me blue.

We're back to Monday
again.

Have you ever felt that Monday's
just a game that God plays on us
a game like  'blind man's buff'?

or is it all a bluff
and we fall for the same old
game yet again?

Not morning yet or rather
it's not light enough to tell
if it's morning yet
and here I am
cup of coffee,
toast and jam
looking
for all the world like a King,

I haven't seen
that face in the mirror
the one with the razor
I have no wish to gaze upon that.

Think I have tinnitus
which is like arthritis
but more musical
or
it could be
the kettle whistlin'
