I am not Joe 90
I am John
and nowhere near
to that age.

******* cartoons
they plague me
with that
come, play with me,

I am not Joe 90.
Of course, we all have dreams
but we get weary and need to sleep

Fantasy is make-believe made believable
in those hours we find incredible

hallucinating?
no
I'd say
rejuvenating and
somewhat exhilarating
and then
wake up and find the news debilitating
everyone protesting
but we're all trying to do our best in...

...I'm going back to sleep.
She smiled,
but only barely,
like it was a secret she didn’t want
you to know.

And for a second,
it felt like the world
might not be so bad after all.
If there is such a thing as the minimum standard
that lot down in Westminster would come in below par.

higher cost of living
heating
eating
they are beating us down so we have to
look up to them.

The benefits system may indeed need overhauling

Wednesday
and why wouldn't it be?

Work day for you and a
workday for me

we are chained to be free
She says
I have the key
so
I'm going to be nice to her
make her tea and give up my

then they change the rules of the game
and they still say we're fukin insane.

Well *** that motley crew
although I'd rather not
because to be honest
I've got better things to do.

In ten years time
we'll all be doing
ten years
and His Majesty
will take his pleasure

if you haven't yet got the gist of it
missed the finer points and got ******
off with it

We are for the knacker's yard.
taking the time is no longer viewed as a crime
when you're past your sell by date,

of late
I've been procrastinating
waiting to see what the winds blew in.

I'll stop and be forceful, and I'll also be thoughtful
don't want to tread on anyone's toes.

Tired
like a treadmill that's used too much
need a break to take that time
for me and mine.
