With shamrock you taught the masses<br />
You ventured far and beyond the pale<br />
To reach out to the lads and lasses<br />
<br />
O Patrick, you didn't need a smart phone<br />
You coped without Instagram and Snapchat<br />
You worked your wonders alone<br />
You were Ireland's first Postman Pat<br />
<br />
O Patrick, you look so grand in green<br />
You make other saints seem fake<br />
We need you now to banish Roy Keane<br />
You know how to wrestle a snake<br />
<br />
O Patrick, we need your divine intervention<br />
Irish future success looks faint<br />
We thought it worth a mention<br />
After all you have the patience of a saint<br />

Of my eye met with ruins<br />
Of a castle in the centre<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> Of a capital city</span><br />
<br />
As I climbed the bridge<br />
Of my nose met with an aroma<br />
Of Island whisky<br />
Of the finest vintage<br />
<br />
As I introduced the tip<br />
Of my tongue to the tip<br />
Of my fingers at the end<br />
Of tasty Scottish fayre<br />
<br />
As I heard bagpipes in the swirl<br />
Of my ears with a rendition<br />
Of Auld Lang Syne<br />
Of the dawning of a new year<br />
<br />
As I left I shook the hand<br />
Of a man in a kilt<br />
Of lambswool and tartan of the hue<br />
Of his native clanAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00132119110403454177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136768178334931382.post-73512906212087930412016-02-17T01:49:00.000-08:002016-04-23T07:46:49.929-07:00Deconstruct Yourself Deconstruct yourself<br />
Explore your mind's recesses<br />
Banish all thoughts of failure<br />
Dwell on potential successes<br />
<br />
Deconstruct yourself<br />
Allow the body to recover and rest<br />
Don't fight battles you can't win<br />
In an easterly wind, head west<br />
<br />
Deconstruct yourself<br />
Lay the soul bare<br />
Overcome reticence and reservation<br />
Show the world you care<br />
<br />
Deconstruct yourself<br />
Shut out inclement weather<br />
Draw the curtains on the day<br />
Then put yourself back together<br />

We ignore it, never<br />
Why are we so boring?<br />
Is it a British thing?<br />
<br />
When we meet a stranger<br />
There is no danger<br />
Providing we tether<br />
Ourselves to the weather<br />
<br />
Wonder whether the weather<br />
Should be called "weather"?<br />
Whether rain or sunshine<br />
The weather's in decline<br />
<br />
Whether it's climate change<br />
Which doesn't seem strange<br />
Whether it's mankind's strife <br />
We'll never get a weather-free life!<br />

Slash is on his way with iconic guitar licks<br />
Who needs a new girlfriend when you've got Rocket Queen? <br />
There could be one fated though yet to be seen<br />
<br />
Listening to U2 was a cool thing to do<br />
Trying to find life's meaning in their Irish stew<br />
Rewinding a song about Julie called I Fall Down<br />
While lying in the bedroom wearing a frown<br />
<br />
Nineteen and stupid with a fragile mind<br />
Feeling ugly so looking for love that's blind<br />
Hiding self-esteem with a humorous sense<br />
Trying to buy a round with 85 pence<br />
<br />
He never was handsome but Debbie said he was "cute"<br />
Awkward words from an older woman in a business suit<br />
He worked like a Trojan lining bosses pockets<br />
Packing boxes of telephones and signing dockets<br />
<br />
In '88 they said he was seeing a Salford girl <br />
They were friends, not lovers, it made their toes curl<br />
It took an olive-skinned beauty to rescue his lonely life<br />
On tempestuous seas, they set sail to be husband and wife<br />

Learn when to kick over the traffic cones on life's path<br />
When that path becomes impassable<br />
Retreat to a smoother thoroughfare.<br />
Use your time on this planet to promote it's good health<br />
Sustainability for future generations.<br />
Wasting your time is wasting life itself.<br />
Ignore the ignorant.<br />
Love your loved ones<br />
Seek out new possibilities<br />
Be culturally aware and boldly go<br />
Where no man or woman has gone before.<br />

On the darkest of days<br />
A beacon of light<br />
With her unique ways<br />
<br />
A silver tongue<br />
With a heart of gold<br />
A love of David Silva<br />
If truth be told<br />
<br />
A practical joke<br />
Never far away<br />
The first of April<br />
Her busiest day<br />
<br />
The sweetest of hearts<br />
Reassuring and perceptive<br />
Pouring warmth from every pore<br />
A listener and receptive<br />
<br />
“Don’t worry so much”<br />
“You’ll be okay”<br />
Her calm and comforting words<br />
To see you through the day<br />
<br />
She brought joy to so many<br />
Of this there is no doubt<br />
Her memory is a light<br />
That will never go out<br />
<br />
<br />

A scratchcard is a straw<br />
To clutch for much hope<br />
Less a means for charity<br />
A percentage of proceeds<br />
To buy shares in the afterlife<br />
Jesus would have approved<br />
Of this selfless giving<br />
With no receipt<br />
A 1 in 4 chance of breaking even<br />
Poor odds for poor sods thoughAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00132119110403454177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7136768178334931382.post-69138742604663454882015-09-06T10:11:00.003-07:002016-04-29T02:09:35.002-07:00Life's Sweet Kiss<br />
Blackberries and conkers<br />
Make me go bonkers<br />
<br />
With nostalgia and yearning<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> To stop the world turning</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> From the old to the new<br /> There's nothing you can do</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> With time marching on<br /> Too much of the year gone</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> To waste on doing stuff<br /> That's boring, not off the cuff</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> Like seizing the day<br /> Like making hay</span><br />
<br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">Despite the April sleet<br />Where snow and rain meet</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /></span>
<span class="text_exposed_show">Swallowed by chilly air<br /> Trying not to care</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> While viewing the sky<br /> And realising why</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show"><br /> There can be bliss<br /> With life's sweet kiss</span><br />

Belies your compulsive smile<br />
Telling white lies to hide<br />
Your black inner thoughts<br />
A lifetime of comic timing<br />
Blunted by age and time<br />
Afflicted by a lack of alacrity<br />
A victim of unimaginable cruelty<br />
Tearing and clawing<br />
At all you hold dear<br />
Gripped by confusion and fear<br />
Some broken hearts may never mend<br />
But you'll be loved and supported<br />
To the very end <br />

I'd never appear on game shows<br />

Tweeting would be left for birds<br />
My face would have no book<br />
I'd forget all my written words <br />

If I was a celebrity I'd be morose<br />
I'd weep everyday and just want my Mum<br />
My arse wouldn't know my elbow<br />
I'd send telegrams to Instagram<br />

If I was a celebrity I'd be sullen<br />
I'd throw parties where nobody came<br />

Sun kissed summer days <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><br />can remind us of a time that felt real<br />senses heightened to absorb<br />every new different experience<br />when your world is your playground<br />life tasting sweeter than a fruit salad chew<br />childhood, when all is fresh and new<br />when adults are strange beings</span></div>

The circus of the death wish dickhead<br />
See him cycle with one hand on his groin<br />
The other with a phone to his head<br />
<br />
See him drive the stolen car <br />
With his seat at 120 degrees<br />
120 mph on an unlit motorway <br />
Thinking he's the bees knees<br />
<br />
A selfish, moronic, society draining lout<br />
The law means nothing to him<br />
Beyond rehabilitation or redemption<br />
Uneducated, uncouth, unhinged and dim<br />
<br />
Give the death wish dickhead a wide berth<br />
He values neither your life nor his own<br />
He's sure to disappear up his own arse<br />
Still clutching his iPhone <br />

A view of the field where I've just been<br />
My stuttering gait to reach the gate<br />
Of the clough and it's delights<br />
Descending to a blue bridge<br />
Beneath the azure sky<br />
Over the rocky stream<br />
Riveted by a rivulet struggling over stone<br />
then ascent to a church<br />
With the promise of heaven for the faithful<br />
I sit on the fence<br />
Moving on to the village<br />
A takeaway reads "Ho Fat"<br />
Unsure about the menu <br />
<br />
<br />
Onto the Metro<br />
A link in a chain of pain<br />
Making a stand by refusing to sit <br />
It smells a bit<br />
Of fare dodgers<br />
Reaching my destination<br />
Reaching my destiny<br />
Reaching the parts tutors don't teach<br />
Reaching the parts others don't reach<br />

When you're semi-reclusive<br />
An EU referendum now stuck in a rut<br />
No fresh air when the door stays shut<br />
<br />
White Van Man votes with the Sun<br />
Dodgy builders adding zeros for fun<br />
A nation divided, a union on a thread<br />
A country squeezed blue, no future for red<br />
<br />
A government feeding on seven deadly sins<br />
Posh boys quaff Moet as the poor rattle tins<br />
Hearts are broken and souls are sold<br />
Greed left to flourish as evil takes hold<br />
<br />
A perfect storm is in the making<br />
If the Eton class keep taking<br />
I fear it's already fated<br />
A civil war is being created <br />

always trying to save your soul<br />
never discovering sustainable joy<br />
always scheming with a plot and ploy<br />
<br />
I may never find what I'm looking for<br />
always pacifying and renouncing war<br />
never feeling healthy for more than a week<br />
always hiding when I should seek<br />
<br />
I may never see the perfect day<br />
always feel like running away<br />
never felt comfortable in my own skin<br />
always losing when it's easier to win<br />
<br />
I may never curb negative feelings<br />
always looking up at glass ceilings<br />
never saying I like you<br />
always thinking I love you<br />

The sun never rose<br />
Inky blackness enveloped my soul<br />
Reached the lowest of a series of lows<br />
<br />
In my darkest hour<br />
The future was hidden<br />
Wrapped in a cloak of sadness<br />
The road to redemption forbidden<br />
<br />
In my darkest hour<br />
I was bloated and restless<br />
A once joyful life a burden<br />
My thoughts a shambolic mess<br />
<br />
In my darkest hour<br />
I prayed like a child<br />
Sick of feeling unwell<br />
The seed of health grown wild<br />
<br />
In my darkest hour<br />
I saw the right thing to do<br />
The reason for never losing hope<br />
The reason is you<br />
