Save money, fail your driving test.
Ride a bike or walk so pay no gym fees
Eat a half of you eat now. Lose weight too
Learn to put buttons on and how to wash most clothes at home.
Sleep 🤪 in your underwear.In bed n
Marry for money
But love too.
Oh television with flat screen
I think you know what I have seen
I won’t confess my media sins
Watching Charlton Heston wins.
I watch the horses and the dogs
Gambling though my mind’s befogged
Losing money in this way
My mate has sold me on eBay
Here we have more large TVs
No doubt brought from Overseas.
We have gold and silver too
Older windows phones still new.
The Plays we see where people swear
Do we no longer have our cares?
Children watch as folk have sex
Maybe busy with their text
Then someone takes an overdose
Pills and Brandy, what bad taste.
Watching tennis on TV
Handsome men do it for me
I forget that I am old
No longer a young woman bold
I did not need to flirt before
I feel shy ,though I’m a whore
I charge little, so am poor
I went to Iceland for a cure
I saw the advert on TV.
I love penguins,I love you
your yellow broad-eyed look, at once both sharp and distant, holds me.
oh,silence, oh ,wind on green,
oh. earth, sky.
immense your held vision,
sphere without centre,
pied geometer of flight, s
ketch your descent and ascent.
trees bunched by dry stone wall
call heart home.
You stabbed my heart when I was left alone
Telling me my writing was like porn
Now you give me nightmares, be my pest
We all need one or two,and you confessed
My writing is so bad, you envy not
Did I hit you on a painful spot?
If others have a gift, that is their call
You have yours , get out a net and trawl
Ambivalent in love which turns to hate
We wound ourselves in making this our fate
Talking overmuch lets such thoughts out
As tea will pour down from a tilted spout
The ancient virtues,patience and restraint
Shall be our wise protectors when distraught
Oh,light bulb foreseen by our God
Save us all from darkness’ rod
You are our Saviour as foretold
In prophecy by ancients bold.
We will worship you at night
When sunken is the sun so bright.
We’ll watch TV and Kindle fire
No more to play shall we aspire.
We’ll wear ourselves out watching screens,
As from a can we eat baked beans
We’ll send for pizzas with our phones
With which we never feel alone.
We might talk to our partner dear
Though texting is much easier.
We see the neon street lights gleam
Where once we saw the moon’s cold beams
And in bed we read our books
With a kindle or a nook
We put beneath out pillows fair
I phones which we long to hear
Can one have too much new light?
From technology some take flight
For gone are seasons, and their fruit
As our computer we reboot.
New potatoes all year round
Avocados once quite rare
Now seen almost everywhere
.Melons,grapes and fresh green peas
As the birds sing,life’s a breeze.
Oh light bulbs,fluorescent tubes
Electric candle, light is cubed.
We thank you for extended days
Maybe we’ll find time for prayers.
God is great in mystery
No light bulb can help us see.
In silence,darkness, meditate
Wonder what will be our fate.
As retribution for our wrong
Satan stabs us with his prongs
He needs no more light in hell
The fiery furnace cooks as well!
How my heart sings
