reunion



graham's an accountant

more grahams than most are


rosie still has rosy cheeks

a farmer's wife - ooh arr


akbar's become maureen

& gordon's still a menace


lundy worked in media

she's now the doge of venice


camus works with camel humps

& myrtle works with myrrh


tabitha's still ginger so

we still don't purr to her


piss pot's on the porridge oats

plus bugle's banged up too


memories are made to fade

who are you

what d'you do

( ? )

this is a y’oldey folk song


this  is a y’oldey folk song

by misc trad’-aye




this is a y'oldey folk song

written by anon

in the darker ages

so join in - sing along


this is a y'oldey folk song

nan will know this one

bits of it are missing

but still it carries on

...













 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i could have been a candlemaker …

~

i could have been a candlemaker … by ethelred the unsteady



oh i could have been a candlemaker

& worked with wicks 'n' wax

then sold 'em off

in my candle shop

but the gods they sent me on another path


~


i could have been a candlemaker thence

brushed shoulders with the greats

all would know me

mister artistry

mister blow me once a year on birthday cakes

flying-low song

~

flying-low song by manfred von richthofen




sometimes when i say ' hello '

i'm accidentally flying-low


i am not a pervert - no

my dodgy zip might be one though


when i realise - up it goes

& then red-face i leg it home


then cry & wonder all alone

do zips have filthy minds

 of their own

?

lonesome like a lighthouse keeper

~

lonesome like a lighthouse keeper by augustus carmichael


lonesome like a lighthouse keeper

in landlocked derbyshire

there's a storm

hitting the shore

but it's no concern around here


the sea is somewhere that a-way

with rocks that wreck men dead

there's mighty waves

there's certain graves

so i'm lonesome but i'm safer here instead

...











 

off & on job

~

off & on job by melvyn maybe



in my mind

well there's this poem

palpitations

throbbing glowing

intermittent

sometimes showing

random

there's no way of knowing


~


mentals beckons

is it snowing?

cobwebs 

encroach

grandma's sewing

tax inspectors

ill winds blowing

off & on job

coming

going

...
