Bare branch
Grey sky
And I
Elsewhere girls dance
While I
Have this grey sky
And branch bare.
Bare branch
Grey sky
And I
Elsewhere girls dance
While I
Have this grey sky
And branch bare.
There was a young man called Moat
Who wrote a poem about a goat
While out at sea
With a girl named Leigh
And a rather vicious stoat!
Sitting here, in my dressing gown
I frown
At the dull sky.
Perhaps there is nothing to say
On this rainy winter’s day.

Heels clack
Summoned by one
Who is too far gone
To turn back.
I know a young lady named Spink
Who’s skirt is short and pink.
When we met in a club
Called the Back Rub
She gave me a knowing wink …
Lust as short
As her skirt.
Time can not be caught,
But the fool continues to hold
That with gold
Love can be bought.
I noticed people disappeared,
When but a little child–
Supposed they visited remote,
Or settled regions wild.
Now know I they both visited
And settled regions wild,
But did because they died–a fact
Withheld the little child!
