I quite like plastic sandals;
**** shaped candles;
and big assed women in my bed,
I like artistic folks n artichokes;
n piccalilli on rye bread,
I like big gay men n Tony Benn:
loud mouthed scousers and Steven Fry,
I like The small faces whisky chasers;
n come home Lassie - makes me cry
I've done it all,been through the rigmarole,seen the chariots racing and now I am facing the finishing line.
There was a time when I didn't care,another over the rainbow when I wasn't there but was out on one of my trips,
and another, when the wheels spun so fast that I couldn't keep still and I wouldn't until I'd found that I'd lost my own will.
On my own it's a breeze,memories like these come and go and like the soft winds they blow through my mind.
I have found kindness in others,some of which smothers me,some of it mothered me and lovers,though few that I knew,I have known them all well.
The bell tolls now but anyhow it's been fun,so I'll sit in my armchair and watch the dying of my sun,
It will come as was told by the dealer who sold me this life and as sure as the sharp knife would cut me,
I could not be sad.

I quite like plastic sandals,
**** shaped candles,
and big assed women in my bed,
I like artistic folks and ***** jokes
and piccalilli on rye bread,
I like big gay men and Tony Benn,
loud mouthed scousers and Steven Fry,
I like The small faces whisky chasers
and come home Lassie - made me cry.
I like the upturned curl
of ******* dog lip
the hurl and swirl
of big girl hip.
I like Bevelled slick edges
and reeaal eeaasy slopes.
chilli dip wedges
with fresh artichokes.
wanton loose wenches
and swivel hipped ******
daft dawgs and dentures
and granddad - who snores.

we amble down, the hill,
to the waterside markets.

i find it so quaint,
that our town has a green
beside it's river, running.

grass manicured and lush,
presently filled with little town of tents,
and open marquee stalls

that sell, all manner
of things,
plate sized portobello mushrooms,
olive tappenade,
great bunches of happy faced flowers,
cupcakes of scrumptious, more and more-ish flavours.
home made cordials.
jewellery, and cushions and
carved wooden bread boxes.

all spread out for us to see.

ant and owls made from old
silver spoons..... bonsia trees, fresh herbs, jamon
and piccalilli, tropical fruits
in smoothies, icecreams and salads

and over, under the age old
morton bay fig

face painters, wooden geegaws and thingymagigs
painted in bright carnival colours.......

what a way,
wonderful and sublime,
to while away,
a lazy sunday morning..

we amble back up the hill
with bags of edible treasures
an silver owl named boo....
a child tiger hybrid and a spinning clown....
