Song # 708

Written for and posted to Carry On Tuesday

The prompt this week is the line from a Frank Sinatra song 'Come fly with me... '

Here's mine:

COME FLY

Come fly with me high in the sky
let's float above this thing called love
up up up in the stratosphere
just you and me and him and her
and all the lonely loons at night
that sleep all day in case they wake
come fly come fly come fly come fly
come fly away across the sky
without a care for tomorrow
and if you do I'll meet you there
and if you don't then you don't care
Come fly with me high in the sky
let's float above this thing called love
come fly away across the sky
without a care for tomorrow
and if you do I'll meet you there
and if you don't then you don't care
Repeat

Song # 709

The following was inspired by Tony Walsh's poem
that was commissioned by the BBC.

WHAT MANCHESTER DOES TODAY
The biggest team in the world V the richest team in the world today
Anyway, it’s derby day, the football barmy red and blue armies
are on the march to the match from the Kippax Street, and the Stretford End
but it’s not only bragging rights at stake in this Manchester derby
it’s the FA Cup, City are the holders, but United are tough
with, Rooney and Giggs. But are City’s, Aguero and Silva enough?
Remember the days of Lee, Bell, and Summerbee, Charlton, Law, and Best?
And all that silverware? Frank Swift and the Busby Babes, lest we forget!

If you can’t get a ticket you’ll be down the pub to watch the big screen
it’ll be the third round at the kick-off, and the fifth round by half-time
and ten pints or more before one side trots off into the fourth round draw.
In every pub in Manchester and for miles and miles around, up town,
down town, red pubs, blue pubs, old pubs, new pubs, everyone will know the score.
You’ll hear the roar as the goals pour in, in Bahrain, Hong Kong, and Bangkok
three or four? Maybe more, home, away, win, or lose, you’ll shout up the booze
to celebrate that what Manchester does today the world still follows…
08012012

There's another Manchester Football piece in this post.

Song # 707

WISH
Christmas kiss me
will she won't she
if she don't
we never will
She could make
my dreams
come true
I think about her
all day through
and with this
piece of misletoe
she can make
my wish
come true
21122011

Song # 706

CHRISTMAS DAY
On Christmas day we celebrate
the revelation of God's love
for God so loved the world that He
sent his only begotton son
to die for all our lust and lies
a sacrifice to pay the price
that lamb of God was Jesus Christ
who lived a blame free sinless life
that whosoever does believe
shall be saved from the punishment
of hell that we rightly deserve
and we will live in paradise
with Him for all eternity
let's celebrate this Christmas day
20122011

Song # 705

NO CANDY
We've not got much for breakfast
we've not got coco-pops
and we've not got no candy
to pop out to the shops
but we've got lots of chocolate
and loads of chocolate drops
and we're going to eat them
before we eat the slops

We've not got eggs for dinner
we've not got chips and chops
and we've not got no candy
to pop out to the shops
but we've got lots of chocolate
and loads of chocolate drops
we found them in the dumpster
they parked outside the mall

There's boxes of chocolates
like pictures on our walls
we've got Belgium sea-shells
and truffels from Nepal
and lots and lots of chocolate
and loads of chocolate drops
but we've not got no candy
to pop out to the shops

Song # 703

THE PRE-TECHNOLOGITES
You are so far from the truth
I told you that yesterday
and if I tell you again
will you remember your name?

When I whisper sweet nothings
nothing appears to have changed
changing for change sake no not
nothing again!

You are pre-technologists
slashing in the wind in vain
nothing new under the sun
don't you know it's all been done

When I whisper sweet nothings
nothing appears to have changed
changing for change sake no not
nothing again!

It's not that it wasn't there
you just couldn't see it there
with your linearised eyes
look again from Tiny Tree

When I whisper sweet nothings
nothing appears to have changed
changing for change sake no not
nothing again!

Song # 701 REVEALED

UNDER THE WALLPAPER (REVEALED)
Wednesday morning out on the town if only...
Only it won't be the same without Natasha
Natasha, makes the difference and I don't
Don't don't think things will change that much ever
Every time I think of her she returns
Returns to the mental picture fuzzy
Fuzzy so fuzzy she's fading under
Under the wallpaper where do I look
Lookalikes will never match yesterday

Yes she is my wonderful my only
Only one in this world that understands
Under the wallpaper where do I look
02122011

Song # 702

UNDER THE WALLPAPER
Don't don't think things will change that much ever
Only one in this world that understands
Wednesday morning out on the town if only...
Natasha, makes the difference and I don't

Yes she is my wonderful my only
Only one in this world that understands
Under the wallpaper where do I look
Returns to the mental picture fuzzy

Fuzzy so fuzzy she's fading under
Under the wallpaper where do I look
Every time I think of her she returns
Lookalikes will never match yesterday

Song # 700

SECOND SIGHT
Claustrophobic as the hall stairs cupboard
Cups breaking up having a smashing time
Time after time, day follows night time too
To the woods and onward, upward sometimes

Out beyond the confines of dieing flesh
Fleshpots revisited from a great height
Heightened by the secret of second sight
Sighing as the daylight dawns a new day

Who told you that tomorrow never comes?
Come with me... back to the next century!
Cents, Dollars, Euro's, and Pounds can't buy this...
Thisaway or that? Lure versus the pull.

At the speed of thought we ride the night air
Airing cupboards of the mind unconfined
01122011

Song # 699

STILT QUILT SLEEPING
You're waiting and I'm waiting for you too...
Two three four five, it's time for you to call
Calamities aside you're waiting still
Stilt Quilt sleeping like an eternal night

Ever even Eve even Eva eve
Evenings will come and go, don't you know?
Knowledge for the unwise is dangerous...
Is dangerous, like love for both of us

And food to feed the soul when winter comes
Comely in the parlour of sweet delights
Delightful, and the meaning's yet unfound
Unfound in the still unbound book of time

Yet, you're waiting yet, and I'm waiting too...
Two three four five, it's time to play the fool!
30112011

Song # 698

ONLY THE LONELY

(WOULD SAY THAT, SHE SAYS)

She says, I’m waiting for you to respond

Respondez vous I’m still waiting for you

You and the monkey, I saw in the zoo

Zooted and booted and out on the town

Where are you going at such a late hour?

Our little love nest that no one can guess

Guess who said that, at the Music Street ball?

Balancing on the gym bench in the hall

We met in Swan Lake, across from the pits

Pitiful picturesque cinema joke

Joking that only the lonely would go

Gone with the wind, These foolish things, and you…

Everyone’s friend, Shakespeare said: Dream on!

Only the lonely would say that, she says

Repeat

SUZIE WONG
Who wrote that song
That went so wrong
Oh Suzie Wong
It's been so long

I still love you
The things you do
Yesterday too
I'm still not blue

Back to Hong Kong
Bing bang bing bong
Resounds the gong
Ding dang ding dong

I still love you
The things you do
Yesterday too
I'm still not blue

Back to Hong Kong
Bing bang bing bong
Resounds the gong
Ding dang ding dong

Who wrote that song
That went so wrong
Oh Suzie Wong
It's been so long

Performance - 24 June 1999

Here's a fun piece I performed some time ago...

WALK THE GOLDEN MILE
Jon's got knots in his 'kerchief
an' it covers his bald swede

Jon wears socks like lots of Scot's
right up to his knees

Jon sports placky braces
to hold up his daft shorts

Jon don't wear a tee shirt
so he's got a lobster tan
(with white stripes where his braces go)

An' everyone who sees Jon says
I 'ope he doesn't sneeze

Get back to Blackpool Jon
and walk The Golden Mile

Where even your mad jelly shoes
won't raise a bloomin' smile

What was cotton?

Here's a couple of Cottonopolis poems.
If you want to read what I said about
Cottonopolis before, check this.

WHAT WAS COTTON? (STOLON OCTOPI)
Sloppy Joe's, mee-mawing, 'what was cotton?'
There they were knocking up the worlds trousers
Once upon a time when the mills were here
Lentil soup for supper, I think, innit?
Outer Mongolia's, eating lentils
Now that the post production rot's got out

Only who could spin a yarn like that now
Cotton was the pride of Manchester once
Trousers that would change the world if only...
Outside in the cold light of day pissed up
Pissed off with the way that they've been kicked out
Innit! and a bit of bread with your slop...

Love..

Welcome to my Love post..

Here's a little something I thought I'd lost, I found it today and I'm giving it some more love...

DAMNATION AND AMSTERDAM
Hook it up, and pretend that it's money
Arrivals ain't my style, no not nearly
Nearly nearly, no not really girlie
Girl you ain't seen nothin' yet, not ever
Sometimes not, but always you're my baby

Simple Simon says, take a butcher's hook
Anyone knows that life should be simple
Money can't wipe the slate clean anymore
Every time I look you up, you return

Baby, she said, I don't wanna arrive
Returning like a bad penny sometimes
Androids are like that, predictable nerds
Nervous as fish out of water, and damn...
Damnation and Amsterdam have Androids

DAMNATION AND
AMSTERDAM (REVEALED)

Baby, she said, I don't wanna arrive
Arrivals ain't my style, no not nearly
Nearly nearly, no not really girlie.
Girl you ain't seen nothin' yet, not ever
Every time I look you up, you return
Returning like a bad penny sometimes
Sometimes not, but always you're my baby.

Androids are like that, predictable nerds
Nervous as fish out of water, and damn...
Damnation and Amsterdam have Androids.

Money can't wipe the slate clean anymore
Anyone knows that life should be simple
Simple Simon says, take a butcher's hook
Hook it up, and pretend that it's money.

Haiku Heights # 89

Welcome to Haiku Heights. We return to weekly prompts again after a wonderful month of daily haiku in September. Our 89th prompt for you is IMPOSSIBLE and was suggested to us by Rosie who blogs over at Travel-inspired Tales. Have fun.

Here's mine:

IMPOSSIBLE

Possibly
It's impossible

It's time you paid a visit to my Haiku Wall!

Here's my 3WW

Haiku Wall..

HAIKU WALL
Welcome to my Haiku wall, I got the idea in Dublin earlier this month. A building site in O'Connell street had a painted wall with 'I'm afraid of...'' written on it and people had chalked things like 'Driving on the wrong side of the road' and 'Double decker buses', to complete the sentence. I thought what a great idea, you could do the same thing with Haiku.
PROMPT ONE
I came up with the thought: I like spending time... or I like spending time with you... and I wrote a few examples. The idea is that you write something using my thought and drop it in my comments box. If you publish it on your own blog too, please leave a link so we can all read and comment there as well.
MY EXAMPLES:

I like spending time
'cos I don't have much money
Hangin' out with you

All night long
I like spending time
In deep sleep

I like spending time
In the place where I come from
Eternity South

I like spending time
Dreaming and disecting dreams
Writing poetry

I like spending time
Waiting for inspiration
Talking with the gods

I like spending time
Watching the way the clouds change
Blue skies looming grey

Freeloading
I like spending time
Not money

Where are you
I like spending time
In your thoughts

My Czech mate
I like spending time
Playing chess

Where are U
I like spending time with her
'cos she looks like U

Good bye Blue
I like spending time
In your mind

I like
Spending time
With you

I like
Spending time
Wisely

I like
Spending time
In bed

I like
Spending time
Shopping

In heaven
I like spending time
By myself

I like spending time
In the ever expanding
Eternal domain

Although they can fly
I like spending time with you
On Terra Firma

Teetotal
I like spending time
Drinking tea

Little Chimpanzee
I like spending time with you
Monkey's drive me nuts

FINALLY
So the prompt is either I like spending time... or I like spending time with you...
The idea is to have FUN! they don't have to be traditional Haiku or academically correct.
So, if you'd like to scrawl something on my Haiku Wall, just drop it in my comments box! Thanks!!

Haiku Conclusion

I LIKE
SPENDING TIME
WITH YOU

HAIKU CHALLENGE
Phew, we've come to the end of the Haiku Heights Challenge, where we had to write thirty Haiku in thirty days. You would probably only expect to write two or three decent ones in that time, but the challenge goes beyond that. You get the opportunity to read everybody else's work and comment on the progress of the challenge each day.
WRITING
At the end of the day we are all writers, and the Haiku Challenge can only make us better, better informed, better read, and better writers.
HAIKU
Over the last thirty days I have written more Haiku than in my life previously, not only have I managed to complete the Haiku Challenge but I have also accumulated a few extra Haiku that I did not use. When I say Haiku, I'm talking about a fairly broad school, most of them wouldn't qualify in the traditional or academic sense, but the trick is just to write something, and see what happens.

...and here's one I wrote for 3WW
the prompt words were:
ERODE HEART + OBSERVE

We observe the rocks
My heart and hers beat as one
Slowly they erode
07092011/1

FINALLY
I just want to tell you about my Haiku Wall. I came up with the line: I like spending time with you. And I wrote a few Haiku style poems that I will publish on this site tomorrow. The idea is that you write something using my line as the prompt and drop it into my comments box. Full explanation tomorrow.

The Height of Haiku Challenge, Day 30 - Poets Choice. Today is the final day of the challenge.

Thanks to all writers who took part in the challenge, be it just a single prompt or all the prompts this month. It has been a celebration of haiku.

Wet summer drips, winter waits
Springs up in autumn
