Waiting for a bus
To come was known as a big
Pain in the butt and then some.
But that was before
I realized that it was
Better than driving a car.

Better than driving a car?
Surely nothing is but wait,
What about driving a bus?
I enjoyed that except when it was late.
What else could be better than driving a car?
I also liked driving a truck.
Considerably bigger by far
But driving through towns it could easily get stuck
How about driving a train?
Very different I'm sure you'll agree.
Driving through the pouring rain
Can make it difficult to see.
I've driven a bike
But what I didn't like
Was having to change my kit
Not one little bit.
So now I leave my home
And jump into my car
With the stereo turned on
Much better by far!

Much better by far,
is going to the bar.
Drinks galore,
and much, much more.
Vodka, lager, cider and rum!
Don't drink too much,
or the landlord will kick your bum!
That wouldn't be much fun.

It is a place to start
It is a place to end
It is for when we're apart
It is for when we need a friend.
It can be here.
It can be there.
It can bring fear
It can make you aware
But what is It that can do anything?
What is It that anyone can do
Do you know what It is?
Whatever It is, I haven't a clue!

Lips,
are very important,
or so they say.
Northern, southern, it don't matter,
I'll like whatever they chatter.

Jeff
finds it difficult to write a poem
when the first line is just one word.
He wishes the poster above would stop it,
but I'm just wondering:
Who the hell is Jeff?

You said it
Loud and clear
And I agree
A one word
end
for a poem
repeated inevitably
Is
Shoud not, need not,
be repeated endlessly.
Yet it has been, for quite some time
Andrew, thank you
Hopefully this banality will decline
And we shall return to inspiring poetry
from graceull last lines

New poem would still be good,
and so would food,
like wind on a fresh autumn day,
Hey!
A glimmer of light in winter
is much appreciated, too,
an ice lolly in summer,
and the ability to be with you
is just braw.
Rain, shine, name that weather,
come whatever season,
I will always want to be with you.

They were standing near a waterfall.
Then they plummeted to their deaths.
It was 1983, a dull, boring day.
Nothing about it was gay,
there were just clouds of grey.
It rained that day,
their light was taken from the world that day;
they fell off a cliff.

Safe on their next vacation,
or were they?
It was a staycation,
which didn't hold much elation,
for no matter where they go,
they just ain't safe.
Take the last vacation:
They fell off a cliff!
Before that, they entered Satan's bunghole
(that was a whiff!)
Never safe, they took the staycation,
at leas if they got killed at the station,
their funerals would be in the same country.
Unless they got sliced and diced...
...Oh, Christ!
And that's the end of the unlucky bunch!

Spring!
A thing,
Like a coiled ring.
Coiled in steel,
to make me feel
Like nothing is real.
And whilst I rarely agree with Gypsy, please stop the one word endings. They are a real thread killer.

Like nothing is real,
but he's starting to feel,
is he lost, or is he about to heal?
Only time will tell,
but I can say one thing:
His shell is not empty.

His shell is not empty
But nor is it full
It makes him so cross
That he roars like a bull

For life she will be his mate.

For life, she will be his mate
to love instead of to hate.
We know because of their bathtub
time in which they both kiss and scrub.
Then, after one bath, he would look at
her and ask, "Would you marry me, Kat?"
"Yes" was the answer that she gave him and
added a kiss that was indeed so grand.
We'll be going to the wedding soon but not
before she puts on a dress that's not too hot.

Before she puts on a dress that's not too hot,
she checks the weather again.
"It's been ridiculously hot, and it's such rot!"
By magic, one appears!
"Thanks, Fears."
She looks sad.
"If only."
His signature outfit, he dons.
"One day, Donnie, you'll be Dawn."
His secret spills out of his eyes,
and he goes about his day.
Empty.
The world isn't ready for "him" to be "her".
