Double Jeopardy

I'm standing here at a quarter past two

There once was a time when I thought you were hot.

You waltzed off with my best friend

Don't say you didn't and don't pretend

When I next saw you "Your face was red"

Had You just gotten outta his bed?

But not now those days of gold are gone

Ever since you did me wrong

I realize now that's why I'm here

Two Step Hound

 I heard a kind of country sound

It came from " A boy and his Puppy Hound"

I looked all around and followed the sound

To no avail could not be found

Hunting far across the fields

Full of corn "This summers Yield"

But where was the boy and his pup

The Hound was howling and wont shut up

I danced and jigged to check the house

Was it off to the north or maybe south

I looked and listened but didn't find

The songs were loud but outta time

I danced right over to the Chicken Shack

Took a two step forward then one step back

Was I doing the Boot scoot slide

Was I being taken for a ride

Hunting far across the fields

Full of corn "This summers Yield"

But where was the boy and his pup

The Hound was howling and wont shut up

That darned sound seemed to be getting close

The Dog a howlin I heard the most

The young boy playing and keeping time

On a six string guitar that cost a Dime

Hunting far across the fields

Full of corn "This summers Yield"

But where was the boy and his pup

The Hound was howling and wont shut up

Finally the song was loud and proud

Way up in the barn they were found

Sitting on a Fresh  rolled hay Bale

Singing Country and sipping ale

The dog played banjo oh so well

Only one  string but couldn't tell

They sounded cool but still outta tune

The boy sang soprano

The Dog howled at the Moon

Hunting far across the fields

Full of corn "This summers Yield"

But where was the boy and his pup

The Hound was howling and wont shut up

One step two step three step four

Sang a Song and danced some more

Step To the Left and step to the right

Enjoying the hoe down till late tonight

One step two step three step four

Sang a Song and danced some more

Step To the Left and step to the right

Enjoying the hoe down till late tonight

Yee Ha Yee Ha Yee ha Take your partner by the hand

Yee Ha Yee Ha Yee Ha Play that fiddle with the band

Banshee Cages

 Have you heard in public places

Rumors of the Banshee Cages

Why we have the need for them

And when it suits a Mad Maiden

A Human Maiden starts to shift

A Partial wrath which isn't a gift

Fading Skin and ethereal form

Flowing hair but not the norm

The Full Banshee has Piercing eyes

Vengeful Rage as she cries

Her scream rings out while on all fours

She scratches walls with sharp claws

Have you heard in public places

Rumors of the Banshee Cages

Why we have the need for them

And when it suits a Mad Maiden

Sorrowful Lament Phased with tears

Belies her Beauty and her Years

Prophetic Vision With glowing Aura

Locked inside a concrete Tower

The death herald with blackest veil

Eternal Guardian Will killith Thou

Ancient Robes ripped and torn

The staff of blood reaps the Corn

Have you heard in public places

Rumors of the Banshee Cages

Why we have the need for them

And when it suits a Mad Maiden

They sleep upon a Graveyard Stone

Cliffside, Crossroads always alone

The walk at day within an Abbey

Ruined by times historical galley

Ancient cairn or Forest Glade

But not in the village as forbade

Have you heard in public places

Rumors of the Banshee Cages

Why we have the need for them

And when it suits a Mad Maiden

These Banshee's have fed on fear

So best avoid when they are near

The Banshee cage is very strong

But cant hold them for very long

Be aware of which you fight

Ice Lightning or the Shadow Light

Fire, Water Air or earth

Each of which has its curse

The wail of an amplifying Harp

Keening Dagger Oh so sharp

Crying Crystal necklace

 will strangle you and leave you breathless

Lament Lantern can burn and turn

into a Curse or spell bound verse.

Have you heard in public places

Rumors of the Banshee Cages

Why we have the need for them

And when it suits a Mad Maiden

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
