Beauty of Nature

 Have You ever noticed the beauty

In a Floral bouquet?

Or the grace of a Butterfly

Its delicate display?


Have you ever sat upon a Hill

Noticed the heather and trees so still?

The sun beating down as you close your eyes

At late sundown or early Sunrise?


Have you ever woken to the sound

Of Coffee brewing all around?

Its taste so bitter yet so sweet

Harmonized with Sugar beet


Have You ever noticed the beauty

In a Floral bouquet?

Or the grace of a Butterfly

Its delicate display?


Have you listened to early Bird song?

Chirping and whistles for oh so long

Sat beneath The Lilac tree 

while the wind blows effortlessly


The scent of blossom as the breeze grows

Hay fever runny eyes and nose

First swaying to the right and then the left

The Birds Building the Spring time nest


Have You ever noticed the beauty

In a Floral bouquet?

Or the grace of a Butterfly

Its delicate display?


I cannot recall a better time

When Men wrote prose, Sonnets and Rhymes

Where site and sound helped life along

To each his own" Singing sweet songs"


The awesome beauty that surrounds us

Mostly covered by Rust and Dust

Much of which can go un-noticed

Until eaten up by swarms of locust


Have You ever noticed the beauty

In a Floral bouquet?

Or the grace of a Butterfly

Its delicate display?


Its sometimes nice to take in nothing

Apart from the Bee whom passes buzzing

The Sound of distant busy traffic

Drowned out by silence as if by magic


It would be nice if one day we see

The Beauty of Birds, Trees and Bees

The Gentle River as it flows

At the glade from where the Heron Goes


Have You ever noticed the beauty

In a Floral bouquet?

Or the grace of a Butterfly

Its delicate display?


Once noticed " We shall never lose"

The chance to visit should we choose

Nothing sinister to be found

In forest Wood without street or Towns


The silent sound of Country side

The Horses Graze The Morning town Ride

Taking in the wondrous view

The scent of Rose and Morning Dew


The silent sound of Country side

The sound of waves and evening tide

The Beauty of the Floral Bouquet

The Daffodil spring display

Parental Blues

  My Kids did my head in when they were young

Nasty things said with the sharpest tongue

Fresh faces and manners when they start school

Quickly becoming Know it alls


Getting bolder fighting for rights

Staying out late sometimes all night

Making a noise waking the house

Just be quite like a Mouse


You try your best but get it wrong

Its turning in to the same old song

You try your best but get it wrong

You knew it would all day long


Not learning from Me or the Teacher

But I still worried about the future

They then come home and feel let down

Like V.I.Ps losing a crown


You try your best but get it wrong

Its turning in to the same old song

You try your best but get it wrong

You knew it would all day long



You do your best having given life

But these kids just cause you pain and strife

It never kills the love in your heart

Your always strong right from the start


They grow up eventually" Having kids of their own

Having to reap the seeds they've sown

A hug and squeeze from loving arms

Sometimes works to keep things calm


You try your best but get it wrong

Its turning in to the same old song

You try your best but get it wrong

You knew it would all day long


We will never have all the answers

Their is no miracle cure

No Instruction Manual

With Pictures that's for sure


Hold them close when they are young

Life is meant to be sometimes fun

From the Moment Kids arrive

You Just want peace and hope to survive


You try your best but get it wrong

Its turning in to the same old song

You try your best but get it wrong

You knew it would all day long


Independence may be the goal

But onwards and upwards we will show

This is gonna be a bumpy ride

But Trust in us to be your guide


What's the matter now 

I here you say

Here we go again another day


What's the matter now 

I here you say

Here we go again another day

Boxing Queen

 I consider myself a Natural Winner

A Boxing legend and no beginner

A mean, lean fighting machine

The Local Official Fighting Queen


My Footwork and defensive moves

Will help my cause to Punch and bruise

I can angle my body to aim my punch

Twisting my hips for a powerful crunch


My back foot pushes off the ground

An explosive move and pound for pound

The heart beats fast as I get Hit

But through adrenalin aint feeling it


I consider myself a Natural Winner

A Boxing legend and no beginner

A mean, lean fighting machine

The Local Official Fighting Queen


Left Jab, Cross Hook one two three

Elbows up and bend the knee

Rotate My foot and set my guard

Move side to side avoid the scars


Just take my time and slow the pace

Just the first round and not a race

Just survive for the next round

Gonna put my opponent on the ground


I consider myself a Natural Winner

A Boxing legend and no beginner

A mean, lean fighting machine

The Local Official Fighting Queen


I'm saving my right uppercut

To the temple I'll crack her nut

Swerve, and hold to avoid her strike

Rope the dope and Counter Psych


My Jab is starting to find its range

She is unsteady and starts to wain

Its now round Four" Can she take the pain?


I punch to the body to weaken her

The Bell sounds so lucky for sure

Were coming out for round five

I feel elated, coming alive


I consider myself a Natural Winner

A Boxing legend and no beginner

A mean, lean fighting machine

The Local Official Fighting Queen


Not long now of that be sure

I will knock her out, She'll hit the floor

Sure enough I catch her chin

Just as she starts to lean in


She goes down for the count of ten

So low and behold I win again

Applause all around A manic scene

As they raise my arm The Boxing Queen.


I'm a mean, lean fighting machine

The Local Official Fighting Queen

If you see me on the street

Don't fight with me " I cant be beat"

Hooray Hooray for The Champion

Hooray Hooray for The Champion

Questioning Reality

 I'm really questioning my reality

My whole life is in fear of brutality

I don't know where construction went

What happened to the man that heaven sent


Truth over comfort seems sincere

But its left Me now and standing here

Waiting for a change in my belief

The whole ideal is giving Me grief


The Oracle has let me down

The human logic makes Me frown

As I cant believe in destiny

Intuition got the better of Me


Human nature and hope not true

A red pill needed to pull you through

Spiritual awakening like a prison cell

Dictates perception cant you tell?


A.I wanders into view

Controls your mind with illusion too

The Material world becomes a trap

For followers No going back


Reality Bites so they say

while teaching emptiness every day

Copied objects are pure percepion

Souls are trapped with no direction


Liberation and knowledge of the truth

Is currently missing for the Youth

A child becomes what A.I chooses

The code of life is what he loses


I would rather go back to latter days

Than spend my life within a haze

Computers, I. Pads Technology

"Will not ever get the better of me"


I would not swap My education

For anything that bares relation

To making people just like sheep

With Mobile phones Beep Beep Beep


I would question your reality

Liberate my soul to set you free


 I would question your reality

Liberate my soul to set you free


I would not swap My education

For anything that bares relation

To making people just like sheep

With Mobile phones Beep Beep Beep

My DOG Drives Me Everywhere

 Just to let You know I speak my mind

Always done it lots of times

I never heard of a Diplomat

I bark like a Dog and sleep like a cat


My four legged friend is with me now

He gives me love yeah My best pal

He even drives me everywhere

No license but he don't care


He learned to drive as a curious mind

A Helpful skill as I'm blind

Guide dogs can be heaven sent

My best pal he is hell bent

On learning how to make my life

Easy as a juicy apple pie


He drives me here He drives me there

Around the bend and I  don't care

The Motor rolls out of the park

As we chase squirrels "Such a Lark"!


On holiday he drives me too

Over land and sea so blue

Catching up with family

His cousin a real royal corgi


My Dog he drives me everywhere

While I reed and brush my hair

Pulls over if I need a Wee

Knows how to look after me


He even sits while I drink

Then drives me home "wink wink wink"


He drives me here He drives me there

Around the bend and I  don't care

The Motor rolls out of the park

As we chase squirrels "Such a Lark"!


On our way home now Its getting late

Fishing tomorrow so need some bait

He is so good at digging for worms

"As long as its always on his terms"


His Name is Mister Do it all

He runs to you if you should call

Mister Mister Come and sit

Fetch the ball the Twig and stick


He never gets tired of pleasing Me

I love him loads "He sets me free"


He drives me here He drives me there

Around the bend and I  don't care

The Motor rolls out of the park

As we chase squirrels "Such a Lark"!


He loves his walks "prefers the car

Especially when were going far

Walk on Mister Walk on By

You make me laugh and make me cry.


He drives me here He drives me there

Around the bend and I  don't care

The Motor rolls out of the park

As we chase squirrels "Such a Lark"!




Howdy Mam

 Howdy Mam "Could we sit Down?"

I just rode in " new in town"

I was hoping to see a friendly face

Dressed in satin with calico lace



Well "She's just heading out of town"

Travelling on so not around

Wells Fargo is heading out west

Bound for Dodge where she'll be blessed




Please Mam don't leave on my account

Sorry to arrive so unannounced

I'm a Stranger in town and to these parts

Would like to know you "Cross my heart"


I don't know anyone here just yet

And your kindly face seems to suggest

You'll maybe chat and pass the day

Then I'll be on my lonesome way


Howdy Mam "Could we sit Down?"

I just rode in and new in town

I was hoping for a friendly face

Dressed in satin and calico lace


 She said to Me I'm not a floozy

You look well worn so why so choosy

Take your time to know the town

Ask the Marshall as he's around


You can find him in the barber shop

Or the saloon as he don't stop

Drinking whiskey and singing songs

With his posse all day long


Howdy Mam "Could we sit Down?"

I just rode in and new in town

I was hoping for a friendly face

Dressed in satin and calico lace


"Marshall likes to keep his enemies close

So go and see him comatose"


"If you Mam would be so kind

I'm being honest and speak my mind"


"I may seem to you to be quite rough

But really am quite fair but tough


So Howdy Mam "Could we sit Down?"

I just rode in and new in town



Have we got off to a really bad start

As it seems to me That you break Hearts

Let me walk you to your stage

Or are we just on a different page?


I walked with her and carried the bags

They were quite heavy I didn't flag

Maybe if she does return

We can catch up and maybe burn 


A candle or two with a meal

As that would be a real cool deal

"We could catch up on each others past

So enjoy the Town and hope it last"


Howdy Mam "Could we sit Down?"

I just rode in and new in town

I was hoping for a friendly face

Dressed in satin and calico lace


Another Beau beckons her now

But could come back if somehow

It don't work out for Dodge and Her

Sit tight Soldier wait and stir


Things turned out so polite

 I will have a good time tonight

"Think of me if you wish

But I wont hold out for a Good night kiss"


I'm gonna brush up down in town

Hurry back "Want you around"


Yeah hurry back to this old town

With You here would be so grand!

All aboard for Wells Fargo Stage

To a Town called Dodge and better days

Whispers of Forbidden Love

 Sweet Love Hearts on My Pillow

Sat with You beside Our Willow

The Bright River Runs Through The Glade

As The Tree gives Privacy and some shade


Such a surreal Water Cascade

 as Daylight starts to slowly fade

The Birds fly home to feather the nest

As we settle in to make love and rest


For the love I feel just cannot be

A reason for you to ever set free

My soul and body bought and sold

Since I left Home and joined your fold


Tomorrow promises another Summers day

With Blooms and maybe a New Bouquet


My Love for You it overwhelms

And I would give you My life itself

I want to hold you forever in my arms

As I surrender to your charms


For the love I feel just cannot be

A reason for you to ever set free

My soul and body bought and sold

Since I left Home and joined your fold


The Autumn will bring a golden glow 

But Winter Cold and freezing snow

The Longest nights with wind that bites

But every day your Love shines bright


I could not last a single day

Without your love to guide my way

Keeping You secret is breaking my will

But surely worth the risqué  thrill


For the love I feel just cannot be

A reason for you to ever set free

My soul and body bought and sold

Since I left Home and joined your fold


Not a Single Soul or true lover

Could hide my truth behind the shutter

Holding my thoughts until discovered

We are the illicit beneath the covers


We will at some stage meet again

In a situation free from pain

For the hidden love that we seek

Always secret so hush don't speak


For the love I feel just cannot be

A reason for you to ever set free

My soul and body bought and sold

Since I left Home and joined your fold


Keep our liaison closed and see

Never to be public and never free


Call me when ever you wish to meet

And all your desires I shall greet

Your Mistress and truly one desire

That sets Your Body alight with fire


Hush now go and disappear

Being found out my only fear
