SANDS OF TIME AND TIMBUKTU

Another few dollars for another days work

when she wakes up it's all said and done


Sleeping for England in a four poster bed

she thinks about the weather

imagines that it's raining

turns over and goes back to sleep


Like false teeth chattering on a marble slab

the aeroplane hits the tarmac hard then

relief as it straightens up and comes to a halt

the chattering turns to clapping and cheers


Holidays and holiday makers

making for the sands of time and Timbuktu

business trips planned and unplanned

happy as Lazarus up from the grave


When she wakes up it's all said and done

another few dollars for another days work
