Blood tests

The  doctor  took my blood and said
Are you alive or are you dead?
I answered boldly,I don’t  know
See what the tests and samples show

Meantime give me food and drink
I like milk and apples pink
I need protein,I need wine
I  need cigarettes divine

Then the undertaker asked
When he could begin his task
I said I can’t pay in advance
So now I’m  in a deep dark trance

Surely someone else should pay
I was still alive today
But now I wait  enchanted here
Drinking guinness, that black beer

I ate beans and then  they grew
I see one has attacked my shoe
Sausages and steak are meat
I am feeling indiscreet

Now nothing is what anyone can say. 

Postmodernism’s the fashion ne’er manque.
We must study Foucault and his scribes.
Get reason trapped and do not court delay.
You need to find your intellectual tribe.

Where is the goose which laid the golden egg..
Invented meta-talk and fairy tales?
Which narrative is balanced on a peg?
Which philosopher was re-homed by a whale?

Where is the whole truth and nothing but?
Whose the eye which sees reality?
Who‘s the judge who makes the final cut?
Where is the God to  whom we owed fealty?

Now nothing is what anyone can say.
I understand it’s meaningless to pray

Little words

The little  words invented as we loved
Now have no other  speaker but myself.
Lost, unique, the husband, so beloved,
These humorous  words came from our deep, sweet love.
In my tongue , these words no longer live
I  cannot  use  our words, our loving  wealth.
The chosen  words  invented as we loved
Now have no other   listener but myself

If you see what I dream.

As all set out,storms set in,then we all fell out 
if you see what I dream.

I   am mean

You are as truthful as as a chorus of wrongs
 in rites of the Church choir

Don't leave me in the lurch.I'm a liar.

He’s as tense as a mournful frog in a bog in Ireland in wintery discontentll

It's all meant

As far as the wife can throw,I flew.

I shall  sue Sue.

I was flooded as a whole.
My emotions welled up and ran all over me like fairies’ hands..

Like elastic bands

I am honest as the day is wrong.

Give me a song

He was torn in three by tomcats with balls of steel

They will appeal

I have lost a whole stone and still no moss will grow on me.It grew on the stone!

Now I feel so alone

As Gluck would have it, music is heavenly singing by invisible choirs of cats.

He was bats

I sought him here,I sought him there.
I sought him with angelic flair.

But noone catches Tony Blair.

I am as snug as a lapdog in a bog
 with a brick on its head

Can I sleep on your bed?

She was as tender as an apple tart is round.

 and quite sound

As the crow flew,I had to fly as well 
to avoid it escaping me..I leave no crow alone

They usually get stoned but they won't share their drugs

Am I wicked?

He said he’d like to see more of me, so I took my gloves off.

He said he’d like to get married so I asked him, who to?

He said he loved my eyes.I said, I see

He said he’d like to treat me. I said, how?

He said which University did I go to so I said, at Cambridge

we don’t ask questions like that.

He said he went to Oxford.I said, what for?

He said he did P.P.P so I said he should see a doctor.

He said would I like to get married.I said no-one has proposed to me yet.

He knelt down and kissed my feet.I said while you are down there you could cut my toenails.

He said I was cute.I said, I can’t believe it. I’ve never been so insulted in my life

He said, I just can’t say how much I love you.I said, why not?

He said, you seem cheerful
So I apologised

He said, are you Jewish so I said, no but my mother was.
