Poetry
Dark, dark Mornings!
Winters here!
The dark mornings and nights
Appear!
Nice when you can cosy up at home in bed!
Instead !
Off to work in the dark, dark world,
It’s a different place in the dark,
Nothing seems the same,
Bright headlights blind me
As I go!
Mine too I guess, I know!
Passing the lorries
Tight squeeze,
Don’t move too close oh please, please,please
Scary passing them by
And with the spray from the lorries on a wet, wet day
Visibility isn’t too great I would say,
No it’s pretty hairy out there!
And I’m in a state there's no debate,
Roll on the spring and summer
Because winter time is hard to negate!
on the road early morning and late!
...Collateral
When something is surplus
Then there is collateral !
Just like when I eat chocolate
And the stoneage rolls on,
And the spare tire becomes dire!
And then it's no fun!
So when something is not needed
we just get rid!
like the rubbish in the bin
hidden under the lid!
collateral loss that's what it is!
So then comes the action
That we have to take
Eating that chocolate was a big mistake
Now I have to pay for it
weight must be lost
Collateral at a cost!
For me there will be no cake!
No more chocolate
Make no mistake!
