Oh Lord,
how few normal people there are in this world!
Only me and my imaginary friends.
The biggie of course was Fredo Corleone
Betrayed his blood
Cos he was passed over
He had plenty o time to think what he'd done
Till he didn't on a rowing boat
At the end of a shotgun

Joey pants in the Matrix
Did it for wine and steak
With little  time to contemplate
His moral mistake

You can hardly blame
Lando Calrissian
They threatened his people
With total destruction
And he made up for it later
When he led the attack
That threw the empire
Down into hell's crack

When eagles dared
Richard Burton let Colonel turner
Jump out o the plane over the frozen tundra
Some say he cheated the hangman's rope
But Burton's logic is easy to scope
Flying low over snow
It might not have killed him
But shattered his body
So in agony freezing
He had some time to
Mull his betrayal
Maybe he felt some regret
Before his eyes went pale

And at the Hot Gates of Thermopylae
After the slaughter and terror
As Leonides hailed Ephialtes
MAY YOU LIVE FOREVER.

"Babe, what ARE you doing!?"

"Nothing, Bertha, just scribbling."

"You're writing a ****** poem!
I knew it! "

"No, honestly, I'm not."

"Get your *** in this bed, you sod.
We have a table booked for breakfast in an hour, and I need a good drilling."

"Yes, of course my love."

"If I catch you doing that again, I'm
gonna rip your todger off!"

"Oh, ******, you say all the right things."
She's banned me from posting poems, back soon (hopefully!)
while pieces of the rain remains
lost on the leaves – my tears hit the ground
slowly after they have painted my face

still more fragile;
thirsty for water as I keep my eyes open

searching for a picture of you, but the cloud's
tears mix with my own, blurring up my glasses

the sun had peeled away itself
blinded by a shade of heavy clouds – heavy emotions
as emotional as I get when I know you’re so far

it's raining and I need you
I see the birds kissing birds
while fluttering their wings.
On one knee trembling the words,
knowing she's worth the diamond ring.
Hearts thump as street peddlers sing
as the festivities rejoice with new flings.
Tomorrow's sun shines as new love brings.
I wish I could go back in time.
Correct the errors in my prime
But correcting one destroys another
And the good I would not want to smother
So for all the mistakes I have inflicted
At least three time lines I have predicted
Cheated on the first wife
That error I would correct
But cheated on second wife
That error I would correct
But cheated on third wife
That error I would correct
But not every correction
Is a mistake on reflection
What i didn't realise
Is where the problem lies
So now I know I'm the mistake
I have to stop and make the brake
So back in time I speak to my dad
Tell him not to get  real mad
Explain on this night with my mother
Make dam sure your pens has a cover
