"waltons" poems
This week has been very long so far
Maybe because I mashed my head on Saturday,
But Joe turned up to surprise his Ma,
Would have bin rude not to share the MDMA.
But what goes up has to come down,
We had our fun, our chats, our tunes.
On Sunday he was Nottingham bound
Monday a pin-pricked balloon.
Overcompensation followed
I Frontlined the pets, took the cat to the vets, did the weekly shop, used the hoover and mop.......watched "The Waltons"........I made pies and mash, grieved for spent cash, looked for a job, tried not to open my gob..........watched "The Waltons"......I sorted the cupboards, mixed up my words, misheard repeatedly, had great thoughts ...fleetingly........watched "The Waltons"
Finally Friday beckons invitedly, a time of unwinding.
I can't believe that in the past I would have bin planning
More pill taking excitedly.More fun and lights blinding
But thank god I'm too old to be young ..... Must be soon Spring.

Thanksgiving.
That glorious day
of the year
when my family
gathered around the fowl
like the Waltons
and then acted
as if it had been stuffed
with ***

Late night into an ever dawning morn
the FBI files play out on the screen
America is so big, and its criminals so scary
I would be lost there, in many ways.
Here on our small island surrounded by the sea
we enjoy a safety, criminals know they get caught, every time.
so they stay away for the most part
and I suppose America is so vast its crime is understandable, to a degree.
Maybe I should watch the Waltons, even things up.

our minds filled with cartoons, back and white war films and cowboys and Indians, and not forgetting the Waltons
we grew up with some confused ideas about America.
