Dear Mum,I’m in the hospital
But don’t go worrying yourself
I have only just been poisoned
and I did it to myself
Please don’t panic
Please don’t be concerned
It was something that I ate
I thought it was an onion
and there lay my mistake
Although it looked the same shape
and it didn’t make my eyes sting
A daffodil bulb is what [...]

Confuddled
I’m confuddled
I’m confused and I’m befuddled
Trying to find answers I don’t know
and questions that will not go
I’m confuddled,I’m bemused
Looking for a clearer view
rubicks cube which will not fit
and I can’t take it all to bits
I’m confuddled,I’m just blind
Trying to work out a womans mind
Its not a thing a man can do
cryogenics is easier for [...]

When it is easier to reach the stars
A man can land on the moon
He can chart the furtherest star
He can sail the seas, float on the breeze
He can travel near and far
He can reinvent the wheel
make iron steel
be a president of note
be a scientist,an anthropologist
you can read all the books he wrote
But out of all the things he does
And all the invention [...]

Making It
I have a dream
and I’m going to make it all come true
There is nothing that is impossible
There is nothing that we can’t do
If life were easy, we’d never be challenged
with nothing ventured, nothing gained
and if it all came along too easy
we would throw it all away
There is nothing called Impossible
that we can’t change or move [...]

By the side of the road
By the side of the road
Across from the stream
A little bird lay wounded
with broken wing ,so it seemed
She lay there not moving
trying hard to lie low
defenceless and helpless
as the traffic did flow
So many went past her
No-one saw her at all
with her broken wing hanging
beneath an oak that stood tall
The tree it watched over
the poor helpless [...]

Say Hello to The Child Inside
Say Hello to the child inside
take her by the hand and walk beside
Its been too long now,since she was locked away
kept in the dark by the light of day
I heard her cry,just the other day
she sounded so alone,to be left that way
She had been locked up,in velvet bonds
for her own protection,when all went wrong
But you’ve [...]

The Earth, The Moon and the Stars
The earth fell in love with the moon
but the moon couldn’t leave the sun
So the earth spent the days gazing skywards
And the moon felt overcome
They all orbited each other
never too close and never too far
the pull of gravity held the earth
like a magnet to its star
Venus felt dumbfounded
As she’d been crushed by mighty Mars
She wept [...]

Molly Packs In,( The Bored Womans Paradise!)
She was a bored hard working housewife
But her life felt such a mess
with a boring staid old husband
who made her totally depressed
when they went to bed at night
there was no spark to her fire
No excitement,and no loving
a complete lack of all desire
each day she would go to work
her fingers to the bone
till her husband [...]

The Words that we say and the choices that we make
Someone had the chance but didn’t take it
They threw it all away
Someone had the chance but didn’t make it
for they thought it wouldn’t pay
We never know the choices
which we will have to make
Some of them seem insignificant
too minuscule to take
Some seem so important
that they seem to shout at you
make this choice or be forever damned
in [...]

On the Ebbs and Flows of the tide
There will be ebbs and flows of the tide
But Still Waters running here
Not the Tempest of yesterday
Rather a gurgling stream that’s running clear
We’ve come through stormy oceans
We’ve been tossed around by waves
We’ve sailed the seas of heartbreak
With Lost souls not being saved
We’ve been on crests of waves so high
that they seemed to climb forever
Only [...]
