Getting Rid of it There is no doubt Surely this must be right The shame I can do without I didn't ask for this plight Why must I pay the price While my mates walk with delight So without thinking twice I set out without a fight But wait, my priest would be mad Dear God, this indeed is sad What have I done to deserve this This thought I must dismiss The old bloke was rather fond of it He might be sad if I go ahead with it But what about the feelings of my partner The verdict: go ahead with the hammer As I approach the bench at my turn The butcher's smile pierced like a thorn Now what is this tinge of guilt I feel Have I grown so attached to make the kill Focus before you loose the one most dear A renewed spirit of vigour appear A bit calm now, the moment of truth The barber held the pony tail and cut it without being a brute. 2 Likes |

Stare She caught me staring again Men how can I do this right Only a glimpse is what I need But her beauty, ever so magnetic A glance is only an after thought This time though will be different Only a quick look and I am done I turned to catch that quick a glance Only for her to stand up and walk Her robust backside did the trick My heart pounded a beat too fast As my eyes worked all over her My comfort zone reappears I gazed at her features up to her face And then she caught me staring again 1 Like |

Voices Arrggghhh I woke up with a start The nightmare seems ever so real Ah those voices again I hear Almost like market women fighting in my head But I thought this was just a dream The noise ever so near, yet afar Could it be that I am going insane Need to get up to clear my head A bowl of water is all I need Grabs the water to douse the tension But the noise becomes increasingly clear I guess the doc would need to examine my head A minute or two is all it took For me to know the noise is from outside my gates Angered, I walked to the window And shouted: who the hell disturbs my sleep And behold my disappointment For it is just the Religion section. 1 Like |

MUSQUITO It started like the big b.ang the b.ang almost too close for comfort Rhythmic, harsh and incessant Just like the drums of war How hard I tried to raise the alarm But some force kept me glued to the ground And then, it began, the beginning of the end Armageddon!!! was all I could think of The Earth started to rumble The ba.ngs became even louder The rains came with clasp of thunder And I was drenched to my underpants The Earth shook so violently Then a much needed calmness A moment of respite? After the calm came the fury of hell Too many 'fighters', at least I thought They took the form of a USA jet Blows after blows, missiles hit me from all sides Then I remembered a lonely prophet Shouting at the top of his voice World war III was in sight Is this the end so many spoke about? I twisted and turned thinking I could take it no more Then a familiar voice and the calmness returned Was this an Angel from heaven? As these questions ravaged on in my puny Christian mind I saw the light and realized it was all a dream As I woke to tell my brother, Thank you For coming to my rescue Then I saw it, the culprit, the cause of my pains Cleaning it's 'fangs' and about to strike It's target: the neck of my beloved brother Too weak to warn him but I MUST I twisted, I turned, tried to say something But the words refused to form in my mouth As my brother struggled to make sense of my unintellible gasps The words came out faintly... And then the whispers fell from my lips MUSQUITO!!!. |
