Ach, a delicah constitution, have I

me auld bones are getting wearier

if somebody sneezes I have a cowld

its getting worser the more I get older

I can’t get a dacent man

but I’m looking as hard as I can

I’ve got a little piece of land

so for a dowry he’d be grand

See, since I buried my first two

it’s not easy to get a beau

and these day’s I’m not such a pretty view

I can be a bit contrary

and my moods oft vary

but unlike my sister Mary

I haven’t got a tash long and hairy

I don’t need any of that *** stuff

I can tell ya that for nuttin

Its help around the farm I’m huntin

I can make a dacent cup-o-tay

and I’m handy at baling the hay

so if your up for a bit of honest toil

and your humour don’t make me blood boil

Come marry Teresa Rafter

when I’m gone you’ll live happily ever after

Artists Skill

raising ordinary to extraordinary

taking the mundane

and playing with your brain

adding a twist here and there

some to lift, some to scare

making you look at things in a different way

allowing your imagination to come out and play

Ah, it is the silly season

when plants seem to loose all reason

They jump with delight

their colour takes flight

They shine in daylight

and sleep at night

I can only surmise

their partying at winter’s demise

Whatever the reason

I love this silly season

I despair

I’m losing my hair

No girl will care

I’ll just have to use that line so corny

that us balding men are extra *****

I saw something the other day

I wish I hadn’t

because with me it has not easily lay

I was at the swimming pool

collecting my neighbour’s little boy

when the girl caught my eye

there was nothing particularly

noticeable about her

except she seemed to be lost

she had this look of sadness

she caught me, turned away from my stare

she may have gave me an angry glare

None of this is what upset me

it was the bruises I saw when she turned around

the area they were in that hurt me most profound

I knew in my heart that girl was being abused, misused

Why it hasn’t easily lay

I turned away

nothing to nobody did I say

I rue the day

Spring, what joy you bring

to every growing, living thing

buds sprout, leaves come out

Winter is giving a might clout

Oh yeah, Spring’s about

You may borrow my pen but don’t use my ink
Why would you want to use what I say or think?

Don’t you have an opinion of your own
Can’t your seeds of creation be sown

If you use someone else’s word
Your instantly ignored

But thank you for praising me
I suppose imitation is flattery
