varied poems from my forthcoming new book

Plane Bike

There was a man who was mad

He screwed wings onto a motorcycle

And went flying up high

The engine turned the prop

That was at the back

 

And the front was a rudder

His rear passenger was thin

For his plane bike was slow

With a 125cc engine

Going from A to B

 

No rush here 1500 feet up

Motorbike made plane

Land take the wings off

Ride where you want

No rush here...

Decide the world's fate/nothing changes but the year/so who made YOU God?

Alien Eyes

I see you there

Watching me now

Even facing away

You eyes reverse

Back of your head

How do you do that?

Are you an alien?

 

Dot To Dot

Join the dots all in a line

Where do they all lead?

Afghanistan

Land of failed empires

Defeated armies

Opium production

Terrorism central

Forget Lebanon

Afghan is number one

Ever since the 70s

The Soviets started it

All the rest added to it

You know the nations

Shall we bet who’s next?

Next Fight

How easy is it for countries who are friends

To become enemies and go to war?

Like Britain and Argentina in the 80s

Argentina bought British warships

Their crews trained here in 81

But in 82 they invaded the Falklands

We were at war and we won that war

But hundreds on both sides were killed

This is one example of conflict

It can and will happen again

Who will we fight next?
