LOOK AFTER
Well, he used to have a job
and he used to love his job
then he had to quit his job
to look after his dad, Bob
and he looked after his dad, Bob
until his dad, Bob, died
Do’s and functions, there were some
but more than some, he did not come
the reason gave to every one
he had to look after his mum
and he looked after his mum
until his mum died
and then he would get up early
to look after his girly, Shirley…
And no matter how hard the wind changed and turned cold and blew straight in his eye
he did not cry

BORN TO REST
I have to stop for a lay-down
While taking forty winks.
Jimmy-jams are my uniform
My eyelids are on the blink.
Not a bead of sweat on my forehead
Never a sinew flexed.
General Strike, I salute you
Major Breakdown, you’re next.
University of Loaf? I never took the test
No winning tape touched my breast
I’m too beat to beat my chest
Baby, I was born to rest.
I could’ve been a long distance runner
But I’m always short of breath
I could have been a gung-ho soldier
But I’m allergic to death.
I’d give a sloth a walk for his money
I’ve got slo-mo beat
Instant coma’s gonna get me
I need speed to sleep.
University of Loaf? I never took the test
No winning tape touched my breast
I’m too beat to beat my chest
Baby, I was born to rest.
Swimming across the channel
Is an ambition successfully ducked.
I could have been a high-class gigolo
But I couldn’t be fucked.
Tune out, drop off, be someone else’s guest
Beware the Jabberwock, Sudoko and incest
Three zeds are my family crest
Baby, I was born to rest.

THUMBS AND FINGERS
With thumbs and fingers
Forming a frame
I can cage the sky
Still those clouds, a plane
Stop the sun
Chasing the moon
Pause the inevitable
Capture this afternoon.

FAR FETCHING
Here’s a room
and a door
and a hall
and a door
and a path
and a gate
boulevard
and a street.
A corner
and a road
avenue
and a row
Over bridge
across stream
circling steps
lead to street.
A walkway
a subway
roundabout
motorway.
A shortcut
through a field
a meadow
to a lane.
‘Long a trail
down a track
a passage
cross a moor.
And pasture
over hill
through forest
to a dale.
Round golf course
cricket green
sink estate
cemetery.
Open door
enter room
cross the space
now there’s you.
