Villains Tale

What If there had really been

No Malificent or Evil Queen?

When we were young we read about

The fairy stories without a doubt


Villains for certain are in agreement

The tales foretold are of Mistreatment

They made great plans to be rewarded

But always were to be aborted


A sea witch and her evil eels

With tentacles draped in pearls

Tried to steal Ariel's voice

Her plan by triton was destroyed


Swash buckling Tales of Peter Pan

Ticking Croc bites off Hook's Hand

Tinker Bell with magic Dust

Deceives Wendy through her Lust


Villains for certain are in agreement

The tales foretold are of Mistreatment

They made great plans to be rewarded

But always were to be aborted


Princesses seem to get ground down

when Villains turn up in the town 

We cheer the Prince the hero and bride

The wicked Villain cast aside


Take the story of Young Snow White

The Evil queen, Mirror and light

Raising her arm and fisted hand

She were not the fairest in the land


Villains for certain are in agreement

The tales foretold are of Mistreatment

They made great plans to be rewarded

But always were to be aborted


Malificent thought she was clever

Arora's spell to last forever

But she failed as The Castle cheered

For she fell asleep for a hundred years


Villains for certain are in agreement

The tales foretold are of Mistreatment

They made great plans to be rewarded

But always were to be aborted


If being good is to be believed

That itself is quite naïve

For no one figure is full of grace

Even Young Royals know their place


Great Villains frequent every story

for the Hero prince to receive the glory

Jars of potions Books of spells

Knights of old and wishing wells 


Jars of potions Books of spells

Knights of old and wishing wells

Hocus Pocus Hocus pocus

Books of spells keep in focus


Great Villains frequent every story

for the Hero prince to receive the glory

Glory Glory Glory Be

The villain has the secret key

Money to Burn

 The juke box kids gonna lift the lid

So grab a table and a chair

Order a Burger with loaded fries

While putting up your hair


He takes a coin from his back pocket

Shouts come on! then "lets rock it"!

Selects a number from his motor head

We listen as he knocks us dead


He presses "A" nineteen Then the record drops

The Needle rides within the groove

T.Rex begin to Rock


Get it on or Bang a Gong

Turn up the Volume within this song

We love to hear it way up loud 

Like Nazareth Loud and Proud


There is a queue behind The Juke Box Kid

waiting on their turn

They will have to suck it up

For he's got money to burn burn burn


The next in line is G thirty nine

Your waiting on something so divine

Its Eddie Cochran and Summer time Blues

The whole dam place is blowing a fuse


Another press is on the cards

This joint is loud and Rocking hard


There is a queue behind The Juke Box Kid

so now he really flips his lid

people waiting on their turn

For he's got money to burn burn burn


B Fifty Two is his third choice

Shouts and screams raising his voice

Alice is loud and has us fooled

They never taught this in our schools


There is a queue behind The Juke Box Kid

waiting on their turn

They will have to suck it up

For he's got money to burn burn burn


Another coin goes in with a shout of

Play a little Blues

The press of W Fifty Five

The Sound of Queen keeps yourself alive


B sides too are in line to blow this place apart

Sunken Rags Jitterbug Love where do you wanna start

Ruby Tuesday, God only knows, and don't forget Maggie May

Keep feeding the juke box all night long to this very day


There is a queue behind The Juke Box Kid

waiting on their turn

They will have to suck it up

For he's got money to burn burn burn


Don't forget Johnny Walker who loved the seventies

Five Hundred and sixty seven entered into surely what must be

The greatest Jukebox in the world and it will always be

 Free Bird the last track that our johnny chose

A Sad Goodbye bleeding heart and a blood red rose


Listen up if you agree

To remember this and remember Me

Put that coin into the slot

 and play that Country Fused with Rock


There is a queue behind The Juke Box Kid

waiting on their turn

They will have to suck it up

For he's got money to burn burn burn


You cannot rid the jukebox kid

For he's got money to burn burn burn

Yeah "He's got Money To Burn"

Silent Assassin

 It were nineteen thirty when I sat down

In the Casino just outside uptown

The room was full with noise and sound

The night were young" My Table Found"


Players eager to start a game

Hold em poker was the aim

Getting comfy in my seat

I could here another heartbeat


A tall slender Woman with piercing Blue eyes

Silver Grey Hair added to disguise

Striking Lips of Pillar box red

And a Smile to knock any Man Dead


We all stood as she took her seat

Dripping in Jewels looking complete

This cool classy woman was making me

Rethink my aim and strategy


While we played hand after hand

I tried to keep my focus and

Not look to seem a little blush

when she turned me over with a Flush


An expensive night losing our cash

To the striking Beauty " Our hopes were dashed"

We ended up with zero chips

As the Silent Assassin pursed her lips


We all stood as she took her seat

Dripping in Jewels looking complete

This cool classy woman was making me

Rethink my aim and strategy


Laughing as she left the floor

Her proceeds banked,  Her balance soars

The moment came when she did smile

The Silent Assassin won with style


The way she sat and held her gaze

Luring all in to the Silent Maze

So if you see her approach your table

Leave the game if you are able


For You will lose more than money

but also your wealth for she loves Honey.


 We all stood as she took her seat

Dripping in Jewels looking complete

This cool classy woman was making me

Rethink my aim and strategy

Darting Dynamo

 Stepping up to the ockee

 its going to be so much fun

This kid is dynamite!!

 Even though he is still young


The difference in age

Is on another page


But his pa makes him understand

You gotta stand up like a Man


The best of three will help you see

Keeping up is your best bet

You wont enjoy being beat 

But its the best your gonna get


Nearest the Bull will decide the call

For whom is going first

Don't blame me if your nowhere near

Or in fact your even worse


Come on lets Rock!

Around the clock!

"Keep outta the black and in the Red"

Shanghai is up for three in a bed


A double to start may break your heart 

So lets get on with the Show

You hit the bull while I hit the ten

How that happened I'll never know


You registered a ton forty

I'm rubbing my chin that's so naughty

Have you been practicing my son

As I reply with a hundred and one


Before I know it the kid gets down

To a double top "not hanging around"

I cant compete stuck on one eight four

He steps up quick to take the floor


His first dart bounces off the wire

He needs to adjust "Just a little Higher"

The second dart does the trick

I'm starting to feel a little sick


Come on lets Rock!

Around the clock!

"Keep outta the black and in the Red"

Shanghai is up for three in a bed


Game on Pa is the shout

I gotta throw better or I'm out

A one two five to start the game

Keeps my eye on the prize with no shame


He steps up and low and behold 

A Ton eighty he unfolds

Have I been taken for a hustle

I need to do better and show a little muscle


My first dart is in off the wire

A sixty for sure and I'm on fire

The next one goes into the double

I need the treble or maybe in trouble


It bounced straight out and onto the floor

If the kid beats me "Show me the door"


"He is on it"  would you believe?

Another full house One eighty retrieved


My game is done and I'm on the run

I score just a miserly seventy one


A nine dart finish surely not

Come on son "Show me what You Got!"

Hits the sixty then treble nineteen

The double twelve It sounds obscene


Come on lets Rock!

Around the clock!

"Keep outta the black and in the Red"

Shanghai is up for three in a bed


The dart leaves his hand and in a flash

He holds out his paw and takes the cash


I have never seen anything like that

Only ten years old and still a brat.

Five Oh One Five Oh One Five Oh One its so much fun

So much fun yeah so much fun  Five Oh One yeah five oh one





Grandpa's Datsun

 As a Child I visited my Grandpa

He lived outta town but not too far

And every Sunday when I were young

We talked about cars and his Datsun


One summers day he asked for Me

To help him re-spray the body

I replied I would love to Gramps

As we pushed it up onto the ramps


I suggested to fill the dents

What a good Idea with Fixi Dent?

Probably with plastic Padding

Rub it down while we're chatting


On how to put the engine back

The carburetor and pinion rack


As a Child I visited my Grandpa

He lived outta town but not too far

And every Sunday when I were young

We talked about cars and his Datsun


Oh yes and we could soup it up

With some Oxtail broth from a cup

Or maybe we could chrome the wheels

and connect the wires for tire squeals


Being curious as to what

I asked him why the exhaust was hot

He looked at Me with a frown

Its not hot now "It has cooled down"


As a Child I visited my Grandpa

He lived outta town but not too far

And every Sunday when I were young

We talked about cars and his Datsun


This Motor has not had a run

For ages now Its not been fun

So if we can get on with it

Lets work together within this pit


The car it looked a sorry state

I think it needs a new tail-gate

Grandpa started to work away

It was gonna be a very long day


Such curio's upon his shelf

Lots of tools but no elf

The only help he was gonna get

Would come from me my tears and swet


As a Child I visited my Grandpa

He lived outta town but not too far

And every Sunday when I were young

We talked about cars and his Datsun


We grafted all day into the night

And stopped as soon as we lost the light

There is always next Sunday

Looking forward so I say


Grandpa wait for I'll be back

Leave the car up on the jack

We'll take our time to customize and dream

Your Datsun into Nissan Supreme


Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep I say

Get outta our road" Your in our way"

Vroom Vroom Vroom away





Double Jeopardy

I'm standing here at a quarter past two

Don't ask me why as I haven't a clue

As to why I'm here for who or what

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

Its coming back so I'll make it clear


I'm rap tap rap tapping on your door

Let me in so I can give you what for

Yeah I'm a rap tap rap tapping on your door

Taking my chance to even the score


"Stop Sending those text and email too"

 It's not good for me or good for you

I'm so annoyed so answer the door

Let me in so I can give you what for


Yeah I'm a rap tap rap tapping on your door

Taking my chance to even the score

Shouting the odds through your letter box

Rap tap tapping knock knock knock


So listen up and I'll tell you for free

I'm sick and tired of you avoiding me

If you wont answer I'll use my key 

Their bringing back double jeopardy


Yeah their bringing back double jeopardy

Sick and tired of you avoiding me

They tried you once there gonna try you again

For making out you were a friend


Telling me this and telling me that

You turned out to be an alley cat

Not giving a dam about my thoughts

"Not once did you flinch in the divorce court"!!


Why oh why wont you answer my calls

Why oh why am I suffering fools

You took off with the car and the family jewels

So why oh why wont you answer my calls.


I'm rap, tap rap, tapping on your door

Let me in so I can give you what for

Yeah I'm a rap tap rap tapping on your door

Taking my chance to even the score


You and me have got history

You always said "Its meant to be" 

But now your of a different mind

It seems to me the hurting kind


I'm learning now and growing up fast

Realizing now that love don't last

So open the door and let me in

So I can end this and begin 

 to rid my mind of your sin


You never did explain to me

So do it now and set me free

I'm rap, tap rap, tapping on your door

Let me in so I can give you what for


Yeah I'm a rap tap rap tapping on your door

Taking my chance to even the score



I'm bringing back double jeopardy

 To save my soul and set me free

Let me in so I can give you what for

Yeah I'm a rap tap rap tapping on your door

Taking my chance to even the score

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



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

Sorry honey I aint so proud

To do what I did was way out of line

Can I have this dance and would you be mine


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 can walk home or get on the bus

No You said my uber is waiting for us

We came as a group and I love my crowd

How about a kiss I said out loud


Gosh your forward aren't  You mate

Sorry again but its getting late

I didn't want to miss my only chance

To ask You out and maybe Romance


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


Take my arm and walk with me

Can I call you Sunday around about three?

"You don't have my number" so I'm asking You now?

Please may I call you sometime somehow?


Ok but only on one condition

Ok can I ask your permission?

How about a Kiss Or maybe a Hug?

Lets dance again lets cut a rug


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 met by chance by the dance hall door

We can seal with a Kiss on the Dance Hall floor

I'll call you tomorrow and we can talk

and maybe carry on with an afternoon walk


O,K O,K but I must go now

I enjoyed the dance and the chat anyhow

Meeting was special even only by chance

Thanks for the drink and The special last dance.


A funny thing happened on the way to the dance

I met you outside purely by chance

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
