Pretend

 Can I pretend to be You

While You pretend to be Me

You can be broke while I can be free

Free to go wherever I please

While You wait for a visitor and day release

What say You "Does it seem fair

What's it like "Do you care

You lied to save your own skin

You get to see Family and Kin

How does it feel especially within

You cant show love only the sin

The sin of your lie so blatantly too

Every word a vicious untruth

"When I get out I'll be looking for You"

Take it from Me its blatantly true

Your gonna know just what its like

Running scared and having to hike

Your way across No mans Land

I will search for you and hunt you down

You lied to save your own skin

You get to see Family and Kin

How does it feel especially within

You cant show love only the sin

You wont know when I'm hot on your tail

I will be close never destined to fail

From getting you back for the tale that you told

And the time I did while getting so old

My life You ruined and didn't even blink

When I got sent down to a Mexican clink

Well get ready to Si Si Senor

A sombrero is coming to break the law

You lied to save your own skin

You get to see Family and Kin

How does it feel especially within

You cant show love only the sin

I'm coming for you to gun you down

Nowhere to run no way outta Town

 Can I pretend to be like You

While You pretend to be just like Me

You can be broke while I can be free

Can I pretend to be just like You

While You pretend to be  just like Me

You can pretend to be full of led

Here in the desert while you lay Dead

And I'll pretend to be just like You

Spending the rest of my life in your shoes

Nonsense Twist

 I have just looked at my bucket list

And it seems the ending has a twist

As to why you may ask as its only one more task

That I would like to do

Take a week to walk a fortnight

Be a Spaceman on the Moon

Or maybe write a letter and reed it outta tune

I might ask myself the reason why we bother baking bread

I Cant stand the crust or the ducks that I have fed

I have just looked at my bucket list

And it seems the ending has a twist

As to why you may ask as its only one more task

That I would like to do

How many apples have to climb back up a tree

Why do the laces  in my slippers keep on coming free

I didn't wake this morning to be told by you

That My Brown eyes were a slightly shade of Blue

I have just looked at my bucket list

And it seems the ending has a twist

As to why you may ask as its only one more task

That I would like to do

Pass me over a guitar so I can pull a string

I wont be going nowhere in a car without a wing

Have you ever bought second hand?

Had a break not neatly planned?

Well take it from me I have not

I bent the penny in the slot

What the hell are you on you ask?

What's the point of this silly task?

I have just checked out my bucket list

So keep on asking I insist

I have just looked at my bucket list

And it seems the ending has a twist

As to why you may ask as its only one more task

That I would like to do

One day you will work it out

Been nowhere without a doubt

Work it out work it out work it out work it out

Its all nonsense Its all nonsense work it work it work it out.

I have just looked at my bucket list

And it seems the ending has a twist

As to why you may ask as its only one more task

That I would like to do

You can call me Banana's Or throw me a nut

Lets all raise a flower bed while sitting in the hut

I have just looked at my bucket list

And it seems the ending has a twist

Twist Stick stick or twist

Where's me bucket list?

Memory Lane

 Taking a trip down memory lane

when thinking things would never change

Looking at photo's from my past

Not knowing what would come to pass

Games were fun around the house

with hide and seek without a doubt

The one safe bet to be fun

but ended with a clout from Mum

She hated to see me swing on the gate

Shouted get down it don't look great

Stay inside don't venture away

You'll never know who will leed you astray

Stay clear of Boys they are just trouble

They act all cool but really just rubble

Staying inside the boundary grass

Her anxiety cannot last

Its beautiful amongst the Roses

while watching the boys strut their poses

The life behind is gone and forgotten

But the recent photo paints me as downtrodden

Looking at photo's from my past

Not knowing what would come to pass

Seems life has faded behind a broken heart

Kids grow up and then part

There own lives and paths to tread

No different to mine as bloods still red

Remembrance of My wedding Day

Sixteen no less and led astray

If I could go back to a place in time

I would back away from such a crime

The crime of giving me away

To a stranger whom would always stray

He fought for king and Country too 

Fought with me till black and Blue

I stood my ground and finally saw

A future for Me Why and what for

My sanity to forever be

True to myself my mind and free

There has been love and happiness

Followed by hate and darkness

Sad then happy Lost and found

Joyous times with friends around

The past reminds us how it was

The present is now just because

These are the days when History

Takes it' s part in Victory

Putting the memories back in the box

The ones that scream the ones that shock

But most of all the ones that are Me

And remind us all of family

Long forgotten times that now

Are laying heavy on my brow

Its good to look back now and then

They are there for when ever when.

If my best friend came around to call

It would remind of a Time in school

Taking a trip down memory lane

when thinking things would never change

Looking at photo's from my past

Not knowing what would come to pass

Taking a trip down memory lane

when thinking things would never change

Memory Lane Memory Lane Hoping things will always change

Looking at photo's from my past

Not knowing what would come to pass

Looking at Photos present and past

Love feels good lets hope it lasts

Flight Plan

 Two youngsters with heart had a great vision

Of taking to flight there latest ambition

They borrowed tools from their Fathers Shed

And worked from the idea's in their Heads

They knocked and screwed timber together

Then buttoned and sowed pieces of leather

Never mind the time what ever the weather

The Engineers worked hard and hours so long

While mother joined in with the Radio on

After days of prolonged and heavy toil

Covered in cake and Carster oil

The job they started finally done

They were joyous and had great fun

"Lets try it out"!! the younger one said

A shout from Mother " Its time for bed"!

They knocked and screwed timber together

Then buttoned and sowed pieces of leather

Never mind the time what ever the weather

Oh well we can try its flight tomorrow

Maybe success or crash with sorrow

Lets try it then the elder agreed

Oh yes please above the Trees!

They dressed in Goggles, Boots and hats

and home made parachutes on their backs

A maiden flight in The Flying Machine

Standing proud outside on the green

They sat back to back in the new creation

An accident just waiting to happen

The two sped off and picking up speed

Crashed and burned scraping Knees

They knocked and screwed timber together

Then buttoned and sowed pieces of leather

Never mind the time what ever the weather

They were not done and promised to try

Another attempt to reach the sky

Come into the Shed My lads if you please

I have something to show you  "Put you at ease"

Inside the shed and shining so bright

A 2 seater piper microlight

Its very own propeller and tail light

They settled into the cockpit seats

Thumbs up ready with a bag of treats

They turned the key the engine roared

And then with peddles started to soar

Along the path and over the wood

Amazing Fantastic oh so good

They played all day just the two

enjoying each flight like pilots do

They knocked and screwed timber together

Then buttoned and sowed pieces of leather

Never mind the time what ever the weather

As dusk settled in with weary heads

They locked up the plane and headed for bed

With Paper and pen they would start again

 A new adventure and plan begins.

Two youngsters with heart had a great vision

Of taking to flight there latest ambition

They borrowed tools from their Fathers Shed

And worked from the idea's in their Heads

Just Maybe

 A funny thing happened on the way to the dance

I met you outside purely by chance

You asked me for a light and I said I don't smoke

Can I get you a drink? Yeah A brandy and coke

We sat and chatted but you were with friends

Maybe we can catch up toward the end

A last dance could well be on my mind

I waited and waited then tapped your behind

You turned so fast and I Laughed out loud

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
