Me and me cat
At a loose end
Her persistent
Meowing
Sending me
Round the bend.
I’ve got me
Hat
I’ve got me coat
Moving to a farm
To live with a goat.
Settled down
On the farm
Then one day
Heard my cats meow
Aghast it was coming
From all the cows
This is true
A matter of fact
I am being haunted
By my lonely cat.
Meow meow  
All the cows said
So with
the farmers
Gun I shot
them dead.
Farmhouse was beckoning
The end of this story wrote
Sat down with a cup of tea
Meow meow went the
****** goat.

Down and out
Walking about
Idly road into road
Taking in the views
I don’t need an abode.

Sitting in font of a
Shop window is
Not for me,
My view
is what I do.

Sights and sounds
The enigma of stone
I walk these islands
Never alone.

The roads
And the hills
Are my family
The more I wander
The more I see.

Into the cities
Into the towns
Lovely people
With rutted frowns,
Hustling cars
Not going far,
Noisy sounds
Coming from bars,
All this **** will
Leave me
****** scarred.

Hi you mateys
I am pirate Jack
I like to steal
Then put
things back,
My shipmates
Whom I hold
Dear thought
It was a great idea.
Nick an old television
Replace it with new
Helping people
Who are not
Well to do.
With all the old
Old televisions
Me and me crew
Would replace old
And nick the new.
Especially from
the well to do.
Hi you mateys
From my prison cell
As you know things
Didn’t go well
See I’m still pirate Jack
Give me two years
And I’ll be back.

Rubber ducky
Thats the plan
Rubber ducky
Invades Iran.
Rubber ducky
Thats the call
Mexico now s
Surrounded by
A long long wall.
Rubber ducky
White on black
Rubber ducky
Don’t like that.
Rubber ducky
Jumping in bed
With The reds
Climate change
Is now ****** dead.
Rubber ducky
Thats a laugh
Turning Panama Canal
Into his bath.
Rubber ducky
He’s not rated
Dos he know
JFK got assassinated.

I am at my happiest
When I do not exist
I can wander
The underworld
Unruly and
******* ******.
Up on the walls
Are All the signs
Me I do not exist
Im still drinking wine.
Don’t do this
Don’t do that
At every corner
A witch with a cat.
Wandering the underworld
Not reading the signs
All my demons
Are being revived
By the wine
Walking the nightmares
I do not exist
Opened up another bottle
I am at my happiest.

******* in a light bulb
Can’t be a sin
Just want to know
How they got
Within.

Jesus in goal
He does save.

Full backs
Are
Reggie and Ronnie
A couple of Krays.

Centre half
Giant of a man
He’s the comic
Desperate Dan.

Midfielders
Pol *** and Mao Tse Tung
Nasty leaders
Stopping the ball
from going long

Wing backs Dolly Parton
And Sandra Dee
Running up and down
The Wings
that suits me.

Two wingers
Ginger Roger’s
And Fred Astaire
Lovely feet
Catching the opposition
Unaware.

Up front
Number nine
Scoring all the goals
Dandy and fine
All the crowd
came to see
Is the greatest legend
You got it
Yep it’s me.


Our manager
We couldn’t get
Enough
He was number1
Mr Brian Clough.
