I WAS ASKED WHO I WANTED
I was asked who I wanted
My emergency contact to be
It took me only seconds to reply
“A good doctor obviously”
NOW I’M NEITHER FOR OR AGAINST BUT
Now I’m neither for or against but
Four million, three hundred and seven
People got married last year,
But shouldn't that number be even?
AS I LEFT THE STORE EMPTY HANDED
As I left the store empty handed
There was an awkward moment
When I said repeatedly to myself
“Just act natural, you're innocent”.
I WANT TO DIE PEACEFULLY IN MY SLEEP
I want to die peacefully in my sleep,
Like Dad, peacefully without a fuss
And not screaming and yelling
Like the passengers did on his bus
THE TECHNOLOGICAL AGE
The technological age of the
21st century is great, isn't it?
When deleting history has become
More important than making it.
AFTER ALMOST FIFTY YEARS OF LABOUR
After almost fifty years of labour
I have failed to get ahead even a bit
Because I started out with nothing,
And I find that I still have most of it
TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT
Two wrongs don't make a right,
I tell my daughter and her brother
And if you need a good example
Just look at me and your mother
TEAM WORK IS IMPORTANT
Team work is important,
In fact its second to none
Because it makes it easier
To put the blame on someone
IT NEVER DAWNS ON YOU QUITE
It never dawns on you, quite
How un-photogenic you are
Until it’s time for a group photo
And they hand you the camera
I'M NOT SAYING THAT I HATE HIM
I'm not saying that I hate him,
But my dislike is well known
And I’d unplug his life support
In order to charge my phone
