I had one of those but the wheel fell off

I lost the tone of my wobbly piano,
I had one of those but the wheel fell off,...
I fell in a ditch because of this.
A one wheeled bike is a unicycle, and I can't ride one.
I had one of those and the wheel fell off.
I stumbled from the path,
Oh dear,


A passing Arabian from a street market nearby,
Gave me a carpet so that I could fly.
I didn't need my wheels, not one or two or three.
I flew over the houses and crossed the blue sea.
I saw a number of mighty beasts from the briny,
Several fair ships and I'm not being whiney.
It seems to me that I don't need wheels as my carpet's flying high.
Thank you Mr Market Trader.
For now I am a space invader!

Inspired by my two cute grandsons as I played with them this morning

She dances in shadows of Sunday as Monday creeps around.
A child of night-time's leaving as dawn comes back around.
The morning heat consumes the coffee that she takes..
She spills Monday into mind-set as Sunday night she must forget.
A kiss on his ear did break down his fear.
No soul upon earth last weekend should remember mistakes that they never made.
Now Thursday's nearly defeated.
The night sky navy blue.
Feeling somewhat empty,
A little bit like you.

There's a spirit in my bedroom,
It's perched beside my bed.
It's very old, but very tasty.

Like a genie it lives in a bottle,
Until tipped and poured.
And then set free.

Then it shall play with my head.
It's lingered there since Christmas time.
Once was yours, but now is mine.
You didn't want it,
I didn't either then,
And now it's taunting me.
I fancy some again!

A bottle of Barcardi, that my daughter gave to me...I fancy a sip or two, all the friends who know me, will say that's not like you x

Somewhere in the distance there lives a pretty *****, they say that she's a minx,
In the distance northern hills they state, that she's a lynx.
The hunters try to finish her, I guess she must be jinxed.

She's leaving on a jet plane.
But I guess that she don't know, the reason why she's going.
A guess,that it's just to show you all the silly things,
The things that you're not knowing.

Things like love and slushy kisses.
Maybe being someone's mrs.

Oh little birds with folded wings they speak of oh such pretty things.

All that glitters is not gold,
She needs to say, before getting old.

Things that matter are not much.
She's missing moments from your touch.

Life is such a self-fulfilling prophecy. Where, I want you but you don't want me.

We're just two free spirits that roll in a glass.
A glass with a crack.
And that's a fact.

Wholesome, opaque,
How ever we dare,
As long they last.
And long shall they care.

As time is precious and so they may share.
Of idiosyncratic seconds, laid both open and bare.

As she lives for the moment,
She's just having a blast.

As the shepherdess,
Tears off her beautiful dress.
Puts on her genes if you know what that means.
A sheep in wolf's clothing, her hair is a mess.

And all the sheep fall, at her funny feet,
Which smell.
Her words be spoken, that only she can tell.
She wants to shout loudly but she's feeling so weak.

Knowing that her heart really doth skip a beat,
The frank shepherdess is really so sweet.

Travelling back from all the bars.
With all the men with flying cars.
Who are living on the planet Mars.

My pint was finished.
My glass was smashed.
More so than me.
Ha ha,
No driving of his flying car,
Drink driving is not good you see.

Sipping drinks from a shiny chalice, beside the Martian sea.
There before me stood in good stead a fella seeking true love,
He found me on a cosmic dating agency.

He was a striking shade of red.
And around his head
He wore a blazing blue bandanna.

I offered him much sustenance in the form of a banana.
What I never knew was that,bananas were toxic to Martian men.
Never again!

Gave him vile flatulence.
No chance of romance, with this lovely Martian chap.
His belly went off with a dreadful bang.
Poor good looking Martian fella,
Belly ruptured.
Blood bright yellow.
Not a very pleasant sight.
Home I go alone tonight.
Martians are hopeless overnight.

SKY
The breeze collected dust from earth,
Threw it at the sky,
Stroked it on the sunlight,
So as shooting stars it flies.
The season makes for clear nights.
Focus on the sky this night.
Bright, so bright.
