CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER HARD

CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER, THEN BEGAN TO LAUGH
CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER BUT I HAVEN'T GOT A SCAR
IT WAS SO VERY PAINFUL THAT I ALMOST CRIED,
YET CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER RIGHT HERE ON THE SIDE
AFTER A LITTLE WHILE  I HAD COCO AND THEN A BATH
CHARLIE WENT TO BED AND I HEARD HIM LAUGH
WHY'S CHARLIE LAUGHING I ASKED MY MUM
"COZ DAD'S READING HIM A BOOK AND TICKLING HIS TUM"

HOW'S HE FIND IT FUNNY, HE'S TOO YOUNG TO KNOW
BUT CHARLIE LAUGHED HE LAUGHED AT ME, WHEN HE BIT MY FINGER SO
MY DAD PUT IT IN A DVD FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
I WASN'T VERY HAPPY IN FACT I WAS ANGRY, ANGRY AS CAN BE
THAT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WAS LAUGHING, LAUGHING JUST AT ME
I TOLD MY MUM IT WASN'T FUN, THEM ALL GIGGLING AT ME
MY MUM SAID I DON'T THINK THEY ARE HAVING FUN AT YOU, HONEY
TAKE A LOOK IN YOUR BROTHERS FACE WHEN HE LAUGHS OUT LOUD
IT'LL SEND JOY ACROSS YOUR FACE AND SPIN YOU IN A CLOUD

I WENT DOWN TO BREAKFAST CHARLIE WAS EATING TOAST
MY FACE WENT VERY WHITE AS IF I'D SEEN A GHOST
A WARM GLOW ROSE INSIDE AS IF IN A CHIMNEY
WHEN CHARLIE TOOK ONE LITTLE GLANCE LOOKING RIGHT AT ME
A BIG GRIN  APPEARED ON HIS FACE FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE
I PUT MY HAND UPON HIS HEAD AND TOUCHED HIS LITTLE FACE
THEN CHARLIE TURNED HIS HEAD I THOUGHT TO HAVE A LOOK
BUT CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER, A REALLY HARD BITE HE TOOK
HARDER THAN I HAD EXPECTED HIM TO,  HARDER THAN I THOUGHT
CHARLIE BIT MY FINGER AND I DROPPED MY EFFING BOOK.

YOU

I SEE YOU IN THE BLACK DRESS

I SEE YOU IN THE BLUE

I SEE YOU IN THE PINK DRESS

IT REALLY SUITS YOU

PRETTY IN ANYTHING

IN MY MINDS EYE YOU DO

BUT DON'T WEAR THE RED DRESS

IT'S NOT VERY NICE ON YOU

I SEE YOU IN THE SHADOWS

I SEE YOU IN THE TREES

I SEE YOU IN THE FLOWERS

SO COLOURFUL TO ME

I SEE YOU ALL AROUND

EVERYWHERE I MAY GO

BUT DON'T PASS  TONIGHT
COS I CANNOT SAY HELLO

I SEE YOU AS A WOMAN

I SEE YOU AS A GIRL

I SEE YOU AS A CHILD

WHEN YOU INNOCENTLY TWIRL

YOUR BEAUTY STILL ASTOUNDS ME

WHEN I THINK OF YOU

BUT DON'T FORGET MY HEART

ONLY YOU COULD HURT ME TRUE

I SEE YOU SEARCHING ALWAYS

I SEE YOU CANNOT COPE

I SEE YOU DRINKING ALL ALONE

WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE

YOU ALWAYS LOVED ME ONLY

EVEN, WHEN YOU WERE ILL

BUT DON'T EXPECT FORGIVENESS

FOR TAKING THAT AWFUL PILL

I SEE THE ILLNESS DROWN YOUR JOY

I SEE YOUR SUFFERING PAIN

I SEE YOUR NOTE HELD WITH A PIN

NEXT TO THE BOTTLE OF GIN

THOUGH YOU'RE BEAUTY HASN'T LEFT YOUR FACE

WHEN I SEE YOU HANGING IN THAT PLACE

THE FLAT WE USED TO SHARE I SEE YOU HANGING THERE

SO DON'T EXPECT TO BE FORGIVEN THIS DAY

YOU COULD HAVE TAKEN THE MISERY AWAY

YOU COULD HAVE GIVE ME ONE MORE DAY

I SEE YOU IN MY DREAMS

I SEE YOU IN MY SLEEP

I SEE YOU IN MY EYES

WHEN I BEGIN TO WEEP

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO LEAVE ME

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO GO

I GUESS IT JUST IS MEANT THAT WAY

FOR ME TO HAVE TO GROW

THAT'S FINE FOR YOU, THEY NEVER EVEN KNEW

NOW I HAVE TO MOVE AWAY

MOVE OVER THE FLOWING SEA SO BLUE

ILL NEVER BE WITHOUT THE WARMTH

I FEEL INSIDE FOR YOU

NEVER WILL BE A DAY WITHOUT

MY LOVE THAT'S HIDDEN TRUE

I'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE AGAIN

SO DON'T EXPECT ME TO.

Dangerous Driving

On Wednesday I went for a countryside drive
slid off the road and hit a bee hive
A mass of bees came swarming round
And stung me till I was hospital bound.
They Injected me with adrenalin see
To take away my misery
But when well again
I had the last laugh
With a petrol jug made out of glass
I lit the wick with a firestick
And Burned the hive
That done the trick.

SLIME

MY FRIEND VIC WAS SUCH A DIME
HIS TEETH ALWAYS GREEN AND COVERED IN SLIME
HIS HAIR SO RED AND FIERY TOO
LIKE HIS TEMPER' CHILI IN A STEW
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM
HIS NAN AND MUM
COULD HAVE GROWN UP TO BE A BUM
BUT KNOWING GINGE THE WAY I DID THEN
A LAUGH EVERY MINUTE OF EVERYDAY
COULD'NT POSSIBLY BE ANY OTHER WAY.
YES MY FRIEND VIC WAS MY VERY GOOD FRIEND
IT WAS SUCH A SHAME IT HAD TO END

Thought Provoking On Leadership

The Leader is best,
When people are hardly aware of his existence,
Not so good when people praise his government,
Less good when people stand in fear,
Worst, when people are contemptuous.
Fail to honor people, and they will fail to honor you.
But of a good leader, who speaks little
When his work is done, his aim fulfilled,
The people say, ‘We did it ourselves.’

~ Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher,
Founder of Taoism (born circa. 500 BC)

TRAMP

WENT TO A SHOW TODAY, WALKED PAST A DRUNK
I THINK HOW DISGUSTING WHAT A NASTY SKUNK
SITTING THERE ALONE WITHOUT ANY MONEY
PONCING OFF ME, IT'S NOT VERY FUNNY.
"GO GET A JOB" THAT'S WHAT I SAY
AS HE HOLDS OUT HIS HAND, TO MY DISMAY.
"I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR WORK TO PAY MY WAY",
"I'M 56 YEARS OLD AND FEELING SO ILL,
IT WON'T BE LONG UNTIL I PAY MY BILL".
"JUST AN EXCUSE" I HEAR MYSELF SAY TO THE MAN ON THE STREET,
HOLES IN THE SOLES ON THE SHOES ON HIS FEET.
"GO GET A JOB YOU WORTHLESS LOUT
THEN YOU CAN GET A HOME AND WON'T LAY ABOUT".
"I USED TO LIVE IN A FIVE BEDROOM HOUSE,
HAD LOVELY CHILDREN OF 3 & 4 UNTIL
SHE TOOK THEM AWAY AND THREW ME OUT",
"NOW I LIVE ON THE STREET LIKE A WORTHLESS MOUSE"
"WELL IT'LL DO NO GOOD SITTING ABOUT,
YOU MUST HAVE DONE SOMETHING TO BE WITHOUT?"
"MY ONLY SIN IS THIS, I SWEAR,
80 HOURS A WEEK OF THE HARDEST WORK,
IN A LITTLE TOWN, A PLACE CALLED WARE"
"YES, OF COURSE YOU DID, I SNARLED AT THE MAN
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT?.. AS IF I FROWN"
"I WENT TO BANKRUPT AND LOST IT ALL
SHE TOOK MY HOUSE MY KIDS AND ALL,
NOW I HAVE CANCER WITH NOT MUCH TIME
NO SUIT FOR THE FUNERAL, NOT A DIME.
I DON'T WANT HELP COZ LIFE'S THAT WAY
JUST A BOTTLE OF WHISKY TO HELP THE PAIN"
I KIND OF FELT SORRY FOR THIS MAN'S GRIEF,
SO I GAVE HIM 2 POUNDS AND FELT INSTANT RELIEF.
UNUSUAL STORY I FELT MYSELF SAY
THEN I GATHERED MY THOUGHTS AND WALKED AWAY.
