Tit Bit #15 (a Repost from October 2018)
I used to say, mum was the one Dad was always there, daddy number one Carole came along, she was my only one They’re gone, I was left with no-one Myself has become an intimate one To you all, I cannot do without everyone
I love sharing my life I love talking about my wife Even though I’ve seen so much strife She wouldn’t have it any other way She graciously fought on, every day My story will never explain her everlasting smile My future is about trying, for her every mile
I know those old photo album feelings Old memories and dusty dreams Your heart does miss a beat They’ll be tears at your feet You’ll need a comfy seat Bathe in the images, so sweet
Life’s rotation process is endless Watermill wheels keep on turning I’m writing on recycled paper Word’s of purpose are not useless
Morning birds sing, but do not see By day, I’ll look like a tree Like a lonely Tawny Frog-mouth Owl By night, hear my wisdom howl
Beware, there’s more You’ll be shown the door By the bolt of Thor
I’ve been inspired by my tour of yesterdays street art in Geelong, and the magnificent mural of Chrissy Amphlett, so here she is, singing with the Divinyls
