Magic Mirror

 The queen stands proud with Question in mind

 The Mirror she ask Time after Time

"Magic Mirror" "Magic Mirror" as I wave my regal hand

Who is the fairest in the land?


An Image appears in the glass

A face recognized from the past

Setting its gaze upon the Queen

Begins to speak and sets the scene


Why would you bother to quiz Me?

"I know you want me to agree"

For no one can compare to thee

"That same old question you ask of Me"


Yes there are some fairer than you

From other lands far from view

Its out of your control and out of reach

No spell book could ever begin to teach


A Motive or reason to explain

Your attitude and reason to gain

I could reason whom could take your place

And leave a spell with no trace


But to your question I'm duty bound

Your not the fairest in these lands

You are by right The Evil Queen

In fact the Sternest ever been


With this in mind take a step back

And wonder why you do attack

The purest people in the land

with poison pen within your hand


You have the castle and everything

and still you want a wedding ring

Its too late for you to change

I wish for freedom without these chains


If my queen would set me free

We could live in Harmony

But for now its for you to decide

To warm your heart and over ride

The spell you cast to imprison me

Change your Heart and set me free.


You will never be let go

Unless My throne You over throw

That will never come to pass

My realm will always forever last.


Ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Ha Ha ha ha ha ha ha 

Retirement Plan

 I am old " A Fisherman"

I have a great retirement plan

Which I will share with You young man


Not everyone desires my Dream

Spent upon a calming stream

A life afloat upon me boat

With tackle hook and bobbing float


All I need is a folding chair

Wading Boots and water proof gear

Add to that my Rod and line

Summer days and wasting time


I'll want for nothing when day is done

I'll sit here Snooze and wait my son

The rod alarm will awake me if

I have a bite from a Fish


All I need is a folding chair

Wading Boots and water proof gear

Add to that my Rod and line

Summer days and wasting time


Colored Flies and Maggot Bait

A Bottle of Wine and table crate

Set up on a hidden swim

Rod is ready to reel em in


Hooking a nice big Rainbow trout

One that I could boast about


Could even catch a Mirror Carp

while sat upon a plastic tarp

Be a part of an angling team

and fill my net with Rudd or Bream


All I need is a folding chair

Wading Boots and water proof gear

Add to that my Rod and line

Summer days and wasting time


End of day wait for my coach

outside the Pub with eel or Roach

The wife back home will be so pleased

We can have the trout with beer and cheese


So that's me done for when I'm old

And stories of my Fishing told

There is no better retirement Plan

You would do well to copy it Man.


All I need is a folding chair

Wading Boots and water proof gear

Add to that my Rod and line

Summer days and wasting time


Barb and chub working men's club

Pike and dace no better place

So fill my glass with Wine and Song

A Fisherman's tale is mighty long


Lahlahlala cast my line

Lah lah lah lah one more time

 Lahlahlala cast my line

Lah lah lah lah one more time





Wolf Song

 I found myself in Darkness Wood

Where all alone I thought I stood

But the loyalty of the Great White Wolf

Led me from The Darkened Wood


The Wolf song carries through the Night

The Blue moon visible cold and bright

I trust his path "He knows the way"

Two souls together but not as prey


The Wolves eyes to me looked dark and strong

I followed his gaze and moved along

Guided through the dark of night

His unyielding courage and spirit bright


The Wolf song carries through the Night

The Blue moon visible cold and bright

I trust his path "He knows the way"

Two souls together but not as prey


His lead was strong and so steadfast

The Blue Moon and he with light did cast

Out of Darkness with no great haste

Together we held a constant grace


Standing my ground within this place

A sacred Heart beats with pace

The Wolf stands and quietly awaits


As I catch up he Howls to the Moon

The darkened wood will see light soon

He guides me with ancestral memory

I feel his tenderness and energy


The Wolf song carries through the Night

The Blue moon visible cold and bright

I trust his path "He knows the way"

Two souls together but not as prey


I Trust the wolf and my instinct

Our time as one is short but linked

The Blue Moon fades from its perfection

No longer giving us direction


A greeting call from the pack he left

I place a gentle Kiss he wont forget

Soon he was gone and I stood alone

Near to where my family home


The Wolf song carries through the Night

The Blue moon visible cold and bright

I trust his path "He knows the way"

Two souls together but not as prey


Out of darkness I did descend

No longer with My Guide and Friend

He left to join his family

Together once more on his prairie


Left with hope and re-connection

He offered Me his warm protection

Along different paths but under the same sky

Spirits bonded until we die. 


The Wolf song carries through the Night

The Blue moon visible cold and bright

I trust his path "He knows the way"

Two souls together but not as prey


From a distance I hear the Howling Wolf

Never far from my thoughts of course

His tracks will guide and shine so bright

The Blue Moon and he My guiding light

Awhooooool Awhoooool Ahwooooool

New Rules

 Why don't you say you love me no more

Why are you sleeping on the bathroom floor

Is it because of what I said?

Or more comfy than our bed?


 I'm still waiting for an apology

For what you did to me

After all the times you lied

The crocodile tears that you cried


Unbelievable isn't the word

There is no reason it seems absurd

I will suffer many fools 

Its time for you to learn new rules


Must have been so hard for you

Having your cake and eating it too

You are weak that's no excuse

Don't cut a reason for abuse


You have my number and  a telephone

You could have called if home alone

There wont be a next time 

Your guilty of a cheating crime


Unbelievable isn't the word

There is no reason it seems absurd

I will suffer many fools 

Its time for you to learn new rules


I gave my heart and love to you

So why then am I so angry and blue

Its because you betrayed

every promise you ever made


So much water under our bridge

Now I'm stranded on a ridge

Nowhere for me to take refuge

Your decision Yours to loose


Unbelievable isn't the word

There is no reason it seems absurd

I will suffer many fools 

Its time for you to learn new rules


Never will you cheat again

Lets get it straight "You aint no friend"

Don't ever ask me ever again


Your chance has gone "You screwed up

Too many sugars in your cup

From now on its gonna be bitter

believe me " I'm a hard hitter


You barking up the wrong tree

Trying to go 12 rounds with me

You wont last a single round 

I bite just like a Hungry Hound


Unbelievable isn't the word

There is no reason it seems absurd

I will suffer many fools 

Its time for you to learn new rules


Learning that I aint nobody's fool

Will be your set of brand new rules

Never will you cheat again

Never will you cheat again

Lets get it straight "You aint no friend"

Don't ever ask me ever again

No no no no no never again never again 

no no no no no never ever ever again

The Carnival

 The Carnival arrives back in town

The Music the lights the funfair sounds

We have waited so long for the County Fair

Its now here so if you dare


Hit the Rides or Hook a Duck

Its time for us to try our luck

A coconut shy is worth a try

Throw a dart or walk on by


Toffee Apple Shooting Cans

Rocking Music Big brass Bands

Swirling Twirling Waltzer  spins

Inviting all the Young ones in


The Ferris wheel moves real slow

But reach the top and watch over below

As it drops your belly does too

Taking in the skylit view


Lets go and ride the Carousel 

Horses, Tigers, Ostrich as well

The Merry go round sways up and down

Makes us dizzy as we go round


Toffee Apple Shooting Cans

Rocking Music Big brass Bands

Swirling Twirling Waltzer  spins

Inviting all the Young ones in


Shooting Games and Bagatelle

Win a Penny" Lose as well"

A ghost train beckons us to try

A scary ride "Will we survive"?


The sound of screams mixed with Yells

Lets see of what the Candy man sells

 Candy Floss Popcorn and Hot Dogs

Lets go taste the Burger Hogs


Toffee Apple Shooting Cans

Rocking Music Big brass Bands

Swirling Twirling Waltzer  spins

Inviting all the Young ones in


The operator twist and turns 

You hold on tight until it burns


Show your skill with Dart in card

It seems so easy but really hard

Throw Three  Rings over jars

To win a goldfish so bizarre


Lose your money from your pocket

When riding on the Dive Bomb Rocket

Spinning fast on Octopus

Hold our bags and wait for us


Toffee Apple Shooting Cans

Rocking Music Big brass Bands

Swirling Twirling Waltzer  spins

Inviting all the Young ones in


The Roller Coaster queue is long

So we eat among the throng

The sound of Reggae Sweet and Sour

Waiting for the happy hour


The barrel Organ is drowning out

The sound of cries on Roundabout

The little ones not sure of where

The Sky swing goes when in the air


Toffee Apple Shooting Cans

Rocking Music Big brass Bands

Swirling Twirling Waltzer  spins

Inviting all the Young ones in


All the color all around 

has matched the mood of rides and sound

But now is time to switch them off 

Helium balloon held aloft


We head for home and cant wait

To attend again nor hesitate

All the fun of the fair

Wear a flower in your hair


Roll up roll up and win a prize

The Zoltar Crystal never lies

The Zoltar Crystal never lies

Roll up roll up and win a prize Roll up roll up for the coconut shy's


Sounds Familiar

 Music is just like a  memory

when connected to rhythm and melody

So sit yourself down comfortably

and remember the sounds of yesterday


Connect a tune and where you  were

when you first heard a song as pure

A sound that time will never forget

That classic song so perfect


Listen intently to the tracks of your years

remember the laughter the days and the tears

Search your loft for a Mixer tape

Connect to a Summer and Island escape


Connect a tune and where you  were

when you first heard a song as pure

A sound that time will never forget

That classic song so perfect


For this is how music can help you stay young

loving the charts from when they begun


Connect a tune and where you  were

when you first heard a song as pure

A sound that time will never forget

That classic song so perfect


Listen to your heart the sound and the beat

click your fingers and tap your feet

You can do it " You know that you can"

You are the link to the rock and Roll band


So sit down relax and put your Head phones on

Turn down the light and spin your song

Enjoy  every chord and sing those  words

Connect with nature Sing like a bird


Connect a tune and where you  were

when you first heard a song as pure

A sound that time will never forget

That classic song so perfect


The Memories are in each track

collect  your thoughts" and sit right back"

Listen out for the Rocking Man

Bang those drums too if you can


Rock out to Those Banging Tunes

The one's that burst your air balloon

The Air waves will take you on a ride

Surf the radio stay beside


Connect a tune and where you  were

when you first heard a song as pure

A sound that time will never forget

That classic song so perfect


Tune in to that Radio station 

Connect with friends and relations


When your able leave a Note.

Balance on board stay afloat, 

The memories will come flooding back

Hit the road Hit the Road with Jack

Hit the Road Hit the Road With Jack

The memories will come flooding back

Circus Dreams

 Hello little one

Have you come to join the fun?

Your painted face is quite unique

You are looking really sweet


Running free Running Wild

You really are the sweetest child

The Circus life is not all fun

It just seems so when you are young


Everyone says your such a cutie

Growing up into a real true beauty

So why so glum on this day

Your mind looks as if its far away


Tell me what your thinking of

And maybe I can help you love

Well I have tried to join the circus twice

My father gave me some advice


Running free Running Wild

You really are the sweetest child

The Circus life is not all fun

It just seems so when you are young


Told me I should stay away

But I love the Big top and want to play

Its ok now little one

Your time to join will soon come


Then you can paint your face and smile

Until then just carry on


Running free Running Wild

You really are the sweetest child

The Circus life is not all fun

It just seems so when you are young


So hurry back to family

They love you and want you to be

Safe within their Boundary

Hold on to your fantasies


Running free Running Wild

You really are the sweetest child

The Circus life is not all fun

It just seems so when you are young


For if you do and when your ready

The circus life is good as any

You may practice to be a clown

but find your wish turned upside down


Maybe an amazing acrobat

An awesome girl on High wire act

Grow up with dreams but wait and see

What lies in store and what will be


Running free Running Wild

You really are the sweetest child

The Circus life is not all fun

It just seems so when you are young


So put the painted smile back on

And for today enjoy the fun

The circus leaves town tomorrow

It will be back so have no sorrow


Before you know that it has gone

It will return before too long


Running free Running Wild

You really are the sweetest child

The Circus life is not all fun

It just seems so when you are young


Running free running free

The Circus life it has to be

Roll Roll Up come join the fun

Watch me on the high wire

 watch me having so much fun
