Enjoying a meal in
getting the feeling
that tonight might be

and we're all a bit might be
aren't we?
Machiavelli,
well he
would be
wouldn't he?

poet and philosopher
in the age of Medici,
he
would be
wouldn't he?

and here in this year
where anything and everything,
is scrutinised
the politicians
still get away with their lies.

I'm not going fishing
because the fish are full of
plastic,
the rivers are caustic,

I am having a ***
the only fun I get.
Winter is coming
and I know this
because the birds
are going South,
flowing
as fast as any river.

They are an omen
much better than the
weather men.

Spring will come along
with a blooming lovely song
and we'll all feel warmed by this.
..and so.
daylight on its wooden crutch
shambles slowly through the night
arriving with a look
of Autumn on its face.
Men look like that because men look like that and I'm not saying it's right, it might be wrong, but men look like that and some like that when men look like that,

confused?
I am
a man among men
not sure when that happened
but happened it did.
Hoovering
cleaning
washing up
hoovering, oh
already done it
now done it twice,
making the bed
scratching my head
changing the sheets
making the bed
again with the
scratching my head,
have I forgotten
anything?

food in the fridge
fruit in the dish,
wish my memory was better,

have I forgotten anything?
nothing but
a shower and shave
a touch of cologne
and I will wait patiently
for her to come home.

Bet I forgot something though.
As far as it goes and I think it's going to go far this car crash of a government has definitely raised the bar,

we're going to be poorer
and they say,
because of the Tories,
****** and corruption
are just two of the stories.

I should try jumping off this tower block and make believe that I can fly, we're all living in this scary tale and we're all going to die.

We can't Elastoplast or bandage
the damage is too great,
there's nothing else that we can do
we'll have to amputate.

Next time I'm voting with my feet
walking away from all of this
I know when I am beat.
