Hotel Dreams
Do what you want
In the hotel of dreams
Fuck the maid
And her hot sister
Bonk your cool boss
Have your best friend
Try out your pal’s wife
Even grind your step sis
All this in the dream hotel
It’s a shame to wake up!
Into A Wall
The man lived inside a wall
It was really cool a metre across
Including two layers of bricks
He found a way inside
Now he’s got a bed and stove
Nice and cosy in winter
Calm and dry in summer
You can’t see the bricks for the wall
With no way to spot the man
Who lives inside the wall
On the outskirts of town
Just by the small park and woods
He poaches for fish and rabbits
Gets water from the river
Has a crap in a hole
Keeps his clothes in a wooden box
By three pairs of shoes
He comes out at night
Or at dawn and dusk
Depending on his mood
He sees a woman twice a month
She lives in the next town
Inside an oil drum in a field
Her story is just like his
But different and unknown
Except in this solitary poem
Two obscure strangers
Hidden from view
Rebel Flower
Painted acrylic flower with a message
What are you telling us?
Do spit it out and spill the beans
We need to know your words
It could be something or nothing
Let us decide and go from there
Is it the revolution or another concern?
If it touches me I want to know
As does my boyfriend and neighbours
We have a right to know acrylic flower
Your words may touch us light or dark
All you do it sit there on the board
Standing tall and pretty as a queen
This will stop now the words are needed
I’ve got the scissors ready…
Lectern Tinsel
Why does the word lectern remind me of rectum and anus?
It has something to do with posture and going to the toilet
Taking a right good crap while writing my thesis
Maybe I can eat and drink and write and shit together?
As long as I do them in the correct order and don’t mix them up!
Imagine if I drink piss and write shit and submit a toilet
What will my professor think of my awesome talent?
‘You’ve been on the absinthe and weed again!’ he’ll scold
While standing at his lectern and ordering us about
The joys of uni life and of being a working class student
No silver spoon up my arse or dad being a Rupert
Good job I robbed the bank two winters ago
I can live my tinsel time life how I want…
Coded Freedom
Hi there. My name is Nick. I have dealt with and have experience with several mental health issues. This includes depression, suicidal thoughts, anger issues, confusion on self-identity, a deep lack of trust, paranoia with/without reason and other concerns. I can advise on copying strategies. Contrary to thought, pills only work rarely and should be used sparingly. Cognitive thought training, poetry writing, being close to nature and animals are positive helps. Thank you.
Venice 2pm
Imagine that seeing an alien or other world spacecraft
Giving a free low level aerobatic show over Venice at 2pm
Well that’s exactly just what I saw when I was there
It was a surreal stunning event and I wasn’t alone
Several thousand people witnessed it and will testify
It wasn’t an apparition or a weather balloon or swamp gas
A real flying saucer or what is now called a UAP
Ask the F-18 Super Hornet pilots what they sky danced with
Flying Tick-tacks or Unidentified Airborne Phenomena
I think it was what I saw pirouetting over Venice that day
It was the best free show I ever had and I wanna see it again
How a machine can climb roll dive soar and turn that way
Without crashing and killing us all is beyond me
Would I be able to fly one safely and have some fun?
Invalid Wagon
The army war vehicle was meant to be the best there was
But it was hacked and totally screwed by a 12 year old kid
He gained access to the Armoured Personnel Carrier
It was so easy to do he did it blindfolded and taught them a lesson
Simply tracking the truck by GPS and toggling its pinger
Then going to the army/manufacturer’s website and logging in
The password was just that PASSWORD123 and he was in
He took over driving it via the Remote Driving System
Speeding up and down at 50 miles per hour but it was boring
The vehicle was fully armed and ready for war!
He slewed round the gun turret and fired the 30mm cannon
Five hundred mixed rounds went down range and devastated
Then he fired three thousand rounds from the small machine gun
Rat-atat-tat it went all bloody day followed by the two TOW missiles
They created a real fuss and mess as did the twin Stinger missiles
He shot soldiers dead destroyed tanks and brought down Jumbo Jets
All coz he hacked a US Army Stryker war vehicle when bored
