Whelp, here a goes the first poem on this site of sites,
gotta make sure i do this sheeit just rights.
she smiles and puts the joke away
saves it hopefully
for a far distant rainy day.

by which time
I'll have all the comma's in place,
face it
my punctuation is,,,
..sheeit look at the time
almost nine
time for wine
'goodnight all'
said
Dixon of Dock Green,
and ifya seen that
you're as old as me
Dragging my sorry looking *** into another sorry looking day
and some say,
a day is what you make of it,
Sheeit.

This way of life is only good for termites and moles, to build or burrow
I furrow my brows in thought
ideas that come to nought,
but I ain't
'bought the farm'
yet.

It's only when you're looked for
how lost you know you've become.

mostly it's a good thing
and sometimes it is not
Life
brings to me
a promise of security
that's
got to be worth a lot.

I'm still dragging my heels
a hundredweight of lead
on my shoulders
( not from the church roof )
and
as God is my witness
that's the Gods honest truth.

Work
is the **** or the cure me
and I'm sure
that she would agree.
Friday,
what wishes will the genie grant me today?

I think that
the genie is as tired as I am
and the magic lamp won't be lit.

I used to be lit
now I feel like..

..sheeit is that the time?
what am I doing ******* around
on a keyboard before five for?

Ramifications,
not as you might think an
Egyptian Pharoah and
no kin to Akhnaten.
just
something or other
that
I'll google later.
A blue tick?
oh!
*** me Twitter
you make me sick,

Elon's little side hustle
as if he needs more cash.

Anyway
pay to tweet
is absolutely
sheeit,

I'm going back to
MySpace.
Dress up any way you can
because at the end of it all
we're just mutton dressed as lamb,

and don't we bleat about it,
but no one gives a sheeit about it.

okay,
work is done again
I'm back to being fun again
until
the next time.

— The End —
