Outlaws Without Claws

Here I am without resistance

Waiting for existance

To give me due cause

As to when my heart is allowed a pause

Away from lethal claws

And government outlaws

Burnt Toast And A Cold Shower

When it’s so hard to get out of my warm bed

I force myself to throw the sheets off

And I face another day again

When the light doesn’t go on above my head

I replace the globe and flick the switch

And I see Again

When my shower hot water turns cold

I patiently wait for the boiler to reheat

And I shall be ready again

When the toaster burns my bread

I turn the grey dial down to three

And I restart again

When the kettle runs bone dry

I dutifully refill the jug

And enjoy a cuppa’ again

When breakfast is done and it’s time to run

I feel the advantage of being alive

And I smile at my world again

Toothless Broom

I am singing the same old tune  

About life’s empty room 

 
I will fly you to the moon 

To recover your silver spoon  

I will swim to Xanadu 

To save you from gloom  

I will wear a new costume  

And throw away my toothless broom
