Well I guess at this stage of my life It's unlikely Fame will ever find me Guess I must have missed my Boat,     sailed off without me Must have missed my Train too, left     me standing in the station (Did I ever really want to go anyway ?) Probably missed the Bus as well, by     the look it. I guess you might say things are     looking kinda bleak But y'know, I've been thinking...     maybe...what if...I wonder ? Supposing I was to spice things up a     bit Add a little controversy to the mix Like a mischievous Madonna or a     Prince (R.I.P). I read somewhere once that some     artists before they can create They gotta set a scene first, gotta     create an atmosphere, a certain          ambience So they do weird things, they light     candles, burn incense Put on strange music, wear strange     outfits of clothes.... a favorite hat          whatever ! Helps put them in an altered state of     mind. But y'know Me! No! I don't need to do     any of that Me! I just like to keep things simple     yeah Me! I just like to, well, I just like to do     it in the **** No!!! Not when I'm in the mood In the **** IN THE **** Yea, I like to get it out when there's no     one about There's nothing I like more when I get     through my front door Than flinging my clothes off     everywhere My knickers they land on a picture,     my pants their down the hall My shirt's up on a lampshade, my     vest's up on the wall Gotta bare my body before I can bare     my soul I like the freedom it affords; And like a Scotsman and his kilt I like to wave it around a bit Till I'm ready to take my seat, my     Muse for to meet Descending like some beautiful     winged Pegasus from the sky I wait till she alights, then I surprise     her I jump on board and ride her Rising way above the Earth, the two of     us Wild and free, with nothing at all     restraining me Together we traverse, yea! together we roam, the wondrous skies of the          Imagination Like some incredible!...amazing!...     Lady Godiva!!! Wait a minute! what's that I hear     outside my door A Big Ship's ****** a hollering, a     Train's whistle a wailing A Bus's horn too, beep beeping... all     furiously sounding And jostling with one another to get to     my door Man! Their coming so fast I think their     gonna crash into one another All wanting to take me away with     them, take me away from here And promising me all kinds of crazy    wonderful things.... Just goes to show.... But remember It ain't lewd and it ain't rude To be a Dude who likes to write in the     **** In fact... in fact, it's quite cool (actually it's very cool Brrrrrrr....hey!     someone shut that door!).

In the **** !! IN THE ****

A bit of fun. Would do anything these days for Fame or Infamy, anything to get me off the old 9 to 5 treadmill. A poem about, well, freedom. Next time a politician speaks of freedom, you can smile knowingly. Lady Godiva, legend has it rode naked thru town as penance for her husband's harsh taxing of its inhabitants. No one was supposed to look at her, but one brave soul named Tom did, hence the term "peeping tom". And not many people know that. (read this somewhere on the web whether true or not).
