'Children need love'
'Adults need money'
Give me a limbo world
Betwixt the two, with honey

Just a small portion of each
Enough to feed me with food
And enough to feed me with love
To simply quell, this limbo mood

I could end up with neither
Just a silent wallow
Not an attractive trait
For me to have to swallow

As i await
The deluge of empty space
Lost contact
With the human race

When i was younger
(So much younger than today)
I used to have
Lashings, and lashings
Of lashes
My sister sometimes
Used to tease me
At my **** girly eyelashes
Fifty years later
After forty five years
Of smoking spliffs
My pretty little eyelashes
Got burnt away
Now barely with a quiff
I can only mutter
About lashes
That no longer flutter

that moment that you wished
you'd bought an 24 hour radio alarm clock.
instead of one that defines pm by a solitary red dot,
and when you set the alarm,
another red dot shows,
add to this,
that after a recent power cut,
i wasn't sure if i was resetting the actual time,
or setting the alarm!
so when i woke up at 10:35 this morning,
instead of 08:15,
i was hit by the realisation,
that i had set the alarm for 8:15pm,
revealed by the one red dot
still being present!
the very reason
i missed a zoom meeting
i had this morning:
a bothering, of a bother........
of bothersome clocks! 🙃

Today, i got attacked
By a snappy, yappy
Vicious, and malicious
Fighty, bitey
Small Piranha dog
An ankle biting
Non inviting
Four legged fiend
That tried to let me down
Its irresponsible owner
Made me frown
I felt a bit forlorn
But no blood was drawn
And i shall not grieve
At the small Piranhas little teeth
As it tried to savage
My right leg
Like a woodworm would, a wooden peg
With a pegleg
I wandered off
As i saw sawdust
Leak
From the Piranhas' owners brain
Not even an apology
From the inane

Seems like Putin
Has put in
Got everyone
Over a barrel
There is
No fuel
Like
An old fuel.......

Beyond the dark shadows
Lies the big bright beautiful moon
Full of hidden mystery
And enchantment
As she watches over
Sister Earth
Controlling
Her oceans of tears
And blood flow
And emotions
As she sits
Silently shimmering
In the night sky
I feel
Possessed
By her power
And her beauty
I will then dream of her
As my mind will drift
Into far away realms
Some nightmarish
And others
Succulently ******
I will awaken
Unnervingly shaken
No screeching of foxes
Or hoots from owls
Back to the daytime reality
Of birdsong
And the cold winter sun
Know that i love you moon
As i await your next visit
With trepidation
And anticipation
Au revoir **

I awoke this morning,
With the following thoughts:
Thinking Outside The Box:
Funny how we all live on this big giant circle
But dwell within squares, or oblongs
Yet when we come across small circles
We're inclined to
kick it,
Head it,
Throw it,
Or hit it with something
I wonder what shape infinity could be
Or am i simply talking a lot of *****.....?🙃🦋
