Liverpool 800...

THE AMAZING GORMLEY'S
With my eyesight
they look like
men in wet-suits
just standing there
waiting for the tide to
turn on Crosby beach.
First you see one - and you think
'What's he doing in the water?'
Then you see another one
and another and you walk
along the coastal pathway
towards the docks and you
realise that there's a whole
army of Action Men -
all stripped off and gazing out to sea.
'Stone the crows!
They're scaring the gulls
and the Liver Birds away.'
The Amazing Gormley's.

Nearly Tuesday!!! Song #14 + Haiku...

THE SEA-SHORE
I know that you say that,
You think I don't care!
But I went to the sea-shore,
the briny, La mer!
And I saw - the ghost of
you standing there.
I knew she was you by
the way her hair blew.
And the wind and the waves
brought back memories too!
Repeat

HAIKU
Congestion City!
Bus, tram, bike, train, traffic jam?
Beat it don't eat it!
Rejected by MIMP my ride competition.

Song #12 + #12a

WHAT WILL I DO
(WITHOUT YOU?)
What will I do
without you?
What will I do
now you've gone?
You are my sun
you are my moon
my life's like a piano
that's way out of tune.
You are my midnight
you are my noon.
What will I do
without you?
What will I do
now you've gone?
I'm like a bat
without a ball.
My life's like a piano
that's way out of tune.
I'm like a cat
without a mat.
Repeat.

Song #12a
LIFE IS SO BLUE
(WITHOUT YOU!)
Life is so blue
without you!
If you're reading this line
on your world wide web!
Or, listening to me
on your radio...
Or, maybe watching me
on your tee-vee!
You'll know who you
are and that you've
gone too far this time!
For, a million miles
away is too far...
for me to find you!
Hey! Life is so blue
without you! x3

Dream machines...

DREAMING DREAMS
We've got machines
making machines for
making dreams and
dream machines for
making dreams
come true.
We've got machines
making machines for
making love and
love machines for
making love
to you.
And
We've got dreamers
dreaming dreams of
making love to
their machines 'cos
there's nothing else
to dream about but...
Love machines!
And
We've got lovers
making love and
feeding dreams of
making love to
their machines 'cos
there's nothing much
to love but...
Dreaming dreams!

Two fingers...

DAYS
Days gone by,
go by again.
We buy, spend,
re-purchase all but
our mis-spent youth.
The best kept vinyl
transfered to cassette
re-placed by compact disk.
Flairs, stitched parallel,
un-sewn into bell bottoms.
But expanding waistline
renders them useless this time.
And the important things in life
like pro-creation.
Days gone by, go by again.
We buy the same shirts
for our sons, as our fathers swore that:
Our grandfathers once wore.
I had a gran-dad shirt too,
a string vest and a beige
ribbed cardigan for Sunday best.
If only someone could invent a pill,
that would halt the whole ageing process.
But I guess, we'd all be typing this
with two fingers on a Remington.
God bless!
