There are no cobbles in the back street now.
No grass grows in the cracks
No frogs in pools,no yellow weeds
i wish we could go back.
The cat would sit beside the gate
She killed the budgie how we cried
Now I am so lonely here
Some times I wish I’d died.
My brother clambered up high walls
I watched him from below
i admired his bravery
Now I am alone
Google Street View is too clear
There are none left here for me
I used to think God spoke in Greek
No use to me should I speak
But he speaks without words
I know as I’ve heard
His light is most clearly unique
We started to sin very young.
Biting Jesus as he lay on our tongues
Then we went to Confession
Bought a few blessings
Then came out and just burst into song
He proposed to me twice at Kings Cross.
He was as warm as an actresses chest
His kiss was delightful
He rarely was spiteful
I married him and his fifty string vests
A doctor once lived in my home.
He had neither toothbrush nor comb.
His patients were courteous
One might even say virtuous.
He was respected though he was a gnome.
I met a young man from near Dover.
His hands often wandered all over.
I said.do desist.
There is no part you’ve missed
I noticed his car was a Rover my
It was not a party.It was MI 5 in a play wearing disguises.
It was some tourists who got lost.
It was Boris’s extended family front Turkey.
It was an illusion.Or delusion.
I never noticed any one in the garden They need rape alarms.
The Downing St Murders.
It was a lot of patients from A and E looking for beds.
It was a ghost meeting.
It was the Resurrection of the Dead Jokes
A botched plot never fails
Who is she?The cat’s another.
Too much veracity killed the plot.
Where are today’s Falklands?
What is wrong with World Cruise?
Why not spend half term in Estonia?
They used to say, see Rome and die.Now see Kviv. Don’t fly.Try a war ship with Russian menu.
Yes you will be the star of the school gate parents!
He had to see if anyone was breaking the rules by attending.
This is a paradox.
There were people there he needed to see urgently and it was convenient
He ia a spy.
He missed his wife he really needed comfort and he had lost his teddy bear
Daddy’s dead.Daddy”s dead
Mother’s lost her motor
Wind her up with her big key
Mother don’t you hate her?
He got away, he did she said
Now she has no motor
She gave us sugar on our bread
Sandwich, butter,sugar.
She said she wished that she were dead
I could hardly guess a word she said
In her grave she would be laid.
No more a wife,no more a maid
How to save her children five
Mourn with the sorrowing mother.
She cleared the ash and cleaned the grate
Iit the fire and burned with hate
Oh.mother.mother,we are late
Don’t burn us up,we are your fate
Grieve with us, oh, Mammy
Wind her up,wind her up,my brother.
She may be sad she may be dead
She is still our Mother
Once she was a happy lass
Climbed up from the gutter.
She played Chopin then but never again
Wail for the single mother.
With children five can she survive?
Pray for the lonely widow.
God took all her joy and more
I don’t knock on a church door
Satan’s coming with the score
Come ye back,oh Mammy
How my heart sings
