Something old...

 

SEED SUCKERS

Talking to the nattering mind thought chatter battering the soul they say it's good to talk all those doctors of kidology philosophising to themselves about themselves sometimes spouting anagrams about eternity and tiny tree just when you think it's all over it starts again the same thoughts the same pain and of course the same insane old nameless names why do they do that they must think sorry they don't think I forgot they haven't got a brain that works like that remember what was said many moons ago the anagram of Eden is need but success is all we need to succeed there's a lot of seed suckers out there trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the proverbial public talking to the nattering mind thought chatter battering the soul some say it's good to talk but mad to answer yourself back but what do they know

Something new...

 

THE ROCKY ROAD

Doing porridge and serving up the slops

On death row with the other part time cooks


I know Shirley's thinking about me now

The way that I was thinking of my Mum

When she went into hospital that day

You feel it in your gut and in your heart


So many signs along the rocky road

When Shirley visited me in the clink

Fifty something years ago tomorrow

but who else is recalling this mad thing


They say that an eyewitness never lies

But why tell the truth if not under oath

Everybody's guilty as hell sometimes

Some more than others and prison won't wait


On death row with the other part time cooks

Doing porridge and serving up the slops
