The man who
Invented
Scrabble died,
Was it natural
Or third degree
Put the words
Down. maybe.
Numbers attached
To letters
place
Them on a board
Put them on a
Triple just to
Boost your score.
Double was the trouble
Triple always red
Then one day a word
Did play
Fantastically high of
Score
Scrabble man had
Heart attack
He can’t play no more

I want to be
Controversial
Through a spanner
In the works
Not having
To be tight lipped
I’d rather go berserk.
No woke restraints
must be free speech
Never shackled ever
Shackled to
Eat ones peach.
Freedom is our liberty
Everybody  free
Sometimes I want to be
Controversial oh well
That’s just me.

On the bus
Coming home
I speak to
Brother
On the phone
Growing up far
To tense
One thing
We had was
A sixth
Sense.
I was ill took
A bucket full
Of pills
To end my
****** life.
How my brother
New of this
Is quite beyond me
He phoned the police
I was nearly at peace
They dragged me out of
My ****** room
Down the stairs
Doom and gloom.
Of I went to A and E
Then they phoned my family
For days and days they
were by my side
Why did I try to commit
Suicide.
Really don’t know what
It meant
All I know my brothers bond
He had a sixth sense.

I have a line for the 300 poets
If everybody was alright
There would be nobody left.

You knock my door
I greet with smile
I get butterflies
Will you stay awhile

Our lips touch
We kiss and cuddle
My mind elated
Im all befuddled.

Would you like
A glass of wine
Please my dear
That will be fine.

Would you like
some nibbles
Something to
Eat
Listen to some music
Watch a film
Something
That’s not to deep

In each others arms
Embracing seems
So right
Softly rolling over
One turns out
the glowing light.

Little piggy
Won a meal for three
Of to the Ritz
Greeted by the maitre de
Twenty course meal
That’s a lot to bank
Two piggy’s ate
Thee other one drank
Maitre de asked
Bemused confused
Why did you two eat
And your mate
Drank while
On the phone
I will reply said I
One of us at to go
Wee wee
all the way home.

Where did you
learn to cook
From a
Jack and Jill
Cookery book.

Is this all the
Best you can do
This is cat food
this is
Not a stew.

You come on the show
Tried to do a roast
You should have
Stuck to beans on toast.

You can’t cook
You make horrible cakes
Your not fit to wash
The plates.

Celebrities on my TV
Trying to cook
Not for me.
I wonder what’s all the fuss
They pushed poor Dave
Under the cookery bus.

Did he deserve that
first course
He got bad afters
Celebrities
showing
No remorse

BBC  will stab you in the back
Then give you the -ucking sack
All cookery programmes a
Waste
Of time
Did Dave really commit
A horrible  crime.
