Scant inhibitions
Do not neglect your hygiene
And scotch guard your couch

Friday baby yeah!
Scant inhibitions
Do not neglect your hygiene
And scotch guard your couch

Seems I wrote one…
I have written before about why I started my blog. For those who missed it one of the main reasons was due to a friend who’s wife, an aspiring writer and a vile human being, insisting that anyone that self publishes does so as an act of vanity which is probably why she had never been published and for the most part refused to work. Writers retreats she enjoyed a plenty I believe.
Anyway, perhaps I ended up proving her point, but I suggested to my friend that I would from that day forth take up writing and publish a book before she did just to prove the point that surely it isn’t that hard and perhaps if she wasn’t such a horrible cow she might have achieved more.
Anyway, the result of that rant can now be found on Amazon in the form of my first book ‘A Collection of Inappropriate Limericks. Its only 300 or so of my limericks but it’s something I guess. Something I made that perhaps my grandkids will hold one day and ask “What the fuck was wrong with Grandad?”
Paperback out now with the E-book to follow on the twelfth mostly because I made a mistake setting it up and couldn’t work out how to remedy it.’
Oh and I dedicated it to her too. Seemed only right.

Who’d have thought it eh…
Wordy wordy lordy lordy
Regrets I’ve bundled, wrapped in hope
and set aflame to warm myself
at night as fire side burns so bright
with what and if and maybe so.
Instead I choose a path of is
and simply tis just how it goes
and from my tongue hyperbole
flows as the streams of passing time.
And cinders drift into the sky
as light illuminates my face
deep lined with things I now forget
and carefree watch them pass me by.
Hygiene. It matters.
Angles and filters
Perfect image does portray
Time the truth reveals

Wordy wordy
This England I now roam of green
which for another time holds dear
would at the hearth of days long gone
stand, warm itself hid from the storm.
Crisp cricket whites hung on the line
and tea enjoyed at summer fair,
and fingers black from Sunday papers
beckon sunset shine on her once more.
Dreams sweet as jam from berries tart
of who she was and could have been
from mirror turns at sight most foul
and searches for the good old days.
A glimpse of March through my camera


















Wordy wordy
Bitter, time can oft erode
those things that once were sweet and true
and brackish floods filled with disdain
deposits leave, debris piled high,
obscurring paths once so well trod.
And lost I wander searching still
for distant lights of home and hearth
whilst stars turn black as tempest stirs
and to an end I slowly snake
and there forget your name.
A Monday quickie for you
Broadband connected
God’s child once had no wifi
innocence stolen

Fancy one of these?
Mouth dry, full of regrets and lies
and fading dreams of what we had
they fill my mind when eyes I close
and raging ‘gainst the lovers sunset
I thrash between these sullied sheets.
There in the distance, silhouette,
you walk where once we lingered long
into the night and then slip softly
hand in hand
into someone else’s forever.
I’ve had flu all week so not written anything and this is the best I can muster.
Backs packed and gloom descending
as the weekend nears it’s ending
‘Monday blues’ on twitter trending
and I curse that I have not yet won the lottery.
For Monday, it sucks balls you see
the thought of it quite bothers me
I’ve felt this way since after tea
and I curse that I have never played the lottery.
More Sunday word vomit
One final sleep
‘neath blankets cold
of eath and clay and stone.
And to my end I walk at last
no evermore, or well lived past
and to the darkness wide and vast
I enter all alone.
And you shall be my final thought
my life, my hopes, my joy
remember me, the things I wrought,
my kind and loving boy.
More Sunday word vomit
Were I to hear you call my name
and turn, to see you one more time,
a souvenir, momento of what was.
A keepsake of sweet memories
I would commit to not forget
or reckless scant attention pay
for fear of losing priceless gift.
No holding back, no front’s, no walls
this truth I’ve kept for far too long
and though again you walk away
unburdened watch you leave…
More word vomit
When old and grey still close I keep
those memories dear to my heart
and ‘fore I walk to final sleep
and lonely paths to then depart
A final time I will relive and tender recollect
each smile you gifted though I often sadly did neglect
your light by which I found my way and through the dark did chart.
Love generous and without cost
so freely gave and not repaid
and eager how I ate my fill
as sunset sank beyond that hill
were dreams way back were made.
And so at last, though late I know
you lie as pale and cold as snow
and how I wish I had the time
of days were you were always mine
Stupid, childish, purile and ridiculous. Meh, least I’m not fiddlign with kids or beatign my wife or listenign to K-Pop.
Hey week, yeah you, yes over here
it’s over now and how I fear
I need to let you know you suck
and right now I don’t give a fuck
about how monday made me blue
Tuesday, wednesday, Thursday too
cos Friday my balls oft caress
and leaves my trousers quite the mess
and saturday, well that’s hard core
my skimpy clad foul mouthed hot whore
Sunday will spoon me, there’s no lack
I feel it’s love pressed to my back
You did your best and hey that’s fine
something something 69!
One of mine I did for Linda.
Word vomit
Those moments where you cross my mind
and fondly I recall just how
we filled our days with blissful laughter
nights I felt such warm embrace.
And as I linger, holding tight
to thoughts I know will soon drift off
like smoke upon the summer breeze
I live again just one more time.
That once, that chance, that single glimpse
that slipped away and from my grasp
relived and dearly held once more
until again or never more.
And if you’re jealous or threatened by someone else’s accomplishments, keep it to yourself, why act out on it? Stop underestimating people…
Borrowed some emotions from someone far deeper than me.
If cut then I should surely bleed
were I not drained, face cold and white,
and curled beneath your naked branches
fade for lack of love and light.
Roots of dismay my heart entangle
moss grows thick upon my chest
and to the earth I am returned
at last, in peace, to sleep, to rest
Long day…just let it out I reckon.
Might I suggest if you don’t mind
you place your lips on my behind
and there remain and tender linger
and oh look, a middle finger
just for you, in fact there’s more
you offspring of a rancid whore
and siphilitic hobo dad
in fact I would be rather glad
if you succumbed to aids, grew frail
and had your mouth abused in jail
by strapping chaps called Whale and Moose
who’d leave your anus gaping loose
Happy Tuesday!
Wordy Monday words
Would I
If given half a chance
and unrepentent dare to take
that single opportunity
and in the moment
live?
And would you
If you full well knew
that daylight would no sins reveal
and faultless you would
sit and smile
and contemplating
feel no guilt?
More wordy words
Eyes closed
pretending sleep
Under blankets as heavy as church roof lead
held down by the weight of the world.
Cigarette breath, yellowed teeth, finger to the lips
and harshest repercussions.
Not a word.
Don’t cry.
In the morning smile and say it’s just a dream.
A nightmare born in velvet plush and gold adorned
and echoes batter on the doors
and innocense do steal away.
No shame
No guilt
And ever more to pay.
Wordy Sunday
A thousand sunsets I would give
for just one more night in your arms
and sorry would not pass my lips
though every moment stolen
unrepentent would I be.
.
And as I watch you leave
another thousand would I offer
and days to come surrender
for this now
and no tomorrow
Oops that just slipped out
In simple terms I will admit
that I can be a total shit
I’ll gladly steal your parking space
and leave the bathroom a disgrace
wont tip, will steal your secret treats
your cookies, chocolates, bags of sweets
and blame it on the kids no less
and shout at them until they mess
their pants and need some therapy
and no one will suspect it’s me
at work steal credit for your work
and be a bastard, dick and jerk
off thinking of your wife or worse
your sister dressed up as a nurse
and wish disease on you and yours
and puss comes leaking from your pores
while home I sit and read the news
take drugs and smoke and drink cheap booze
and eat endangered meats for tea
koala, whale and chimpanzee
and all the while I smile and nod
on sunday I go pray to God
for he Forgives so I can test
his patience as things I molest
and charities support with time
while I commit white collar crime
and then it’s home in time for tea
I bet you’re all a bit like me
Let’s do some of these again
I haven’t done this for a while. 101 words. Sometimes a beginning, sometimes an end. Or even a frustratingly pointless middle.
Seven hundred million miles from home Carlos stared into the yawning abyss of space. In a sky of a billion, trillion stars, filled with more life than he could comprehend, he felt his mind slipping away as a desperate loneliness tore at him.
“Come on you bitch” he said slamming a fist into the console. A system malfunction had set the emergency escape trajectory to a star a hundred lifetimes away and the panels were resolutely unresponsive.
Sitting back in the chair he closed his eyes and remembered Juliet’s face one last time and unclipped the helmet seal from his suit.
Feelign a tad more hallmark tonight.
And were I sorry for the things
I did not do but know I should
then every day would fill with tears
but resolute I stand my ground.
And blind to love and life and joy
and all the things I gave away
and most of all the hope I lost
when frailty I did not protect.
So blind I stumble, feet red raw,
and filled with rage and bile and scorn
for those who have what I so crave
yet threw away and cant regain.
