best wishes folks

A Gift x

Waiting in the queue

As far back as the eyes can see

I wait

And wait

To get you something

For all the things you’ve done for me

Priceless, you gave it free

Held my hand when sadness swept over  me

A smile at the end of a long day.

I’m paying you back in a small way

Waiting in the queue,

Tired after a long day.

Pounds, shillings and pence

Each end of the month losing cents

The cat stares with horror at Aldi’s own

She doesn’t understand we can afford to put warheads on Trident

Aimed at no one

But not on our plate

Pounds, shillings and pence

Each end of the month losing cents

I make a mixture of leftovers from the cupboard

Pasta, sugar, ...

He’s not a god

But growing up in the crumbling north

He was more…

Whilst Wham blasted out Club Tropicana

And flags waved our troops home

He reminded me that you don’t have to be a thug to be a man, and to read is a blessing not a curse

But growing up in the crumbling north

He was more

Made me stop

Get set go

On your marks …..

          Get ready …..

                   Go

                        Back to bed

The world can just speed off

Gather momentum

Keep pace

I’ll just

  Watch from the duvet the

   Safest place

Full speed ahead

Wiz round another

Tower block

No noise, sense or touch

Keep the windows...

(a woke up one morning in spring to a dead leaf)

And it’s a dead one

                     I’m turning over a new leaf

                             A dead one

                             Left over from autumn

                             Something unpleasant on this spring morning

                             I’m turning over a new leaf

            ...

STREET SCENE

That’s a tanning studio

That’s a chippy

That’s a tanning studio

That’s a hairdressers

Empty shop

Empty shop

Empty shop

That’s a smoke free Wetherspoons

That’s a closed pub

That’s a closed pub

That’s a closed pub

That’s a couple strapped

for cash

That’s a family next door

whos...
