I never owned a new car

Always second hand,

I often had to paint them,

and fill in all the cracks.


The clock was rewound

and the tyres painted Black

Underneath the Bonnet,a place I´d never go

the shock would be too much, to see

an Oil slick for a floor.


The doors were always shut , real tight,

and Spot Welded from  inside,

The reason being two fold, I´d sleep real sound at night

A thief would need a Burning Torch,

To take her for a ride.

i  watched  a  spider  cross  the floor,

twenty  tiles,  by  one  foot four,  he  belted  down

Route  66,  from  door  to  door,  Ant  size . no more.  

His  Harley  Davidson  legs,  hardley  touched  the  floor



Easy  rider  on  a  trip,  to  follow  a  female  spider´s  Spoor.

probably  left  a  wife  and  baby  spider  behind  for  sure,

Oh,  what a  tangled  web  they weave,

when  first   they  practice  to deceive.


And  there  i  thought  he  was  just  a  little  innocent  Mite,

he  had  other  plans  the  *****  *****.

after  I squashed  the  pervert  on tile  five,

I  realized,  maybe  he   was  returning  home

to  his  wife  and  child.


Too  late  now  as  the  die was  cast,

the  cast  was  Die,  I  made   him  a  martyr,

a  martyr,  in  a  Black  Widow  and  a  child´s  eye.

And  a  fading  memory  for  a  spideress  barsmaid,

in  a  flyover  pit stop  on  Route  66,

in  the  sweet  bye  and  bye.

' I'm afraid human beings have never evolved,

they're still as stupid, as the day they were dropped.

Who in their right mind would follow fashion  ?

Dictated by a bunch of morons,

with the brains of a pigeon in passion.


But worse than that, how can a big Country like Spain,

support a monarchy, that's as dysfunctional and corrupt,

as Bernie Madoff, and his pyramid scheme made of sand castles.

   Kings and Queens , Lords and Ladies.


If this isn't a blatant class system,I don't know what is .

I hope i won't be put into the ' Stocks ' for voicing my opinion,

Like the nine Catalonian politicions , who were jailed for ' sedition '

So much for freedom of speech.
