A Crap Rap
All you need is a drum and bass line and somewhere to shout at people in an angry fashion… Brexit means Brexit The will of the nation; The cutting of ties, and with no mitigation. A short eight line missive; A Bill of disaster. It’s almost dismissive to think of thereafter. She’s off on her […]

Nineteen Eighty Four (aka 2017)
There’s a phrase that’s often mooted “Not my monkeys not my circus” When we want to tell each other That it’s nowt to do with us But events are now unfolding With enormous implication In the USA and Britain Truth is killed without a fuss We might laugh at North Korea Scoff at news from Kim […]

Ear ache!
The fabric of the tent do shake His gob agape and arms wide flinging… Those dulcet tones! The floor do quake. And strangely all our ears are ringing. The cafe bar staff call for help As off their shelves the plates are winging. Atonal torture. Please, no more! Won’t someone stop old bish from […]

Happy Annibirthary!
In the darkness of night Mrs flappy bird takes flight Startled out of her nest by a multitude of things. Marking, planning, keeping scores Not to mention menopause hot and cold and tense and tired Mrs flappy bird’s a-flight And beside her in the nest Mr flappy bird’s at rest Fast asleep… and then not […]
