My lost doggie

.

Oh where oh where

Could my little dog be?

Oh where could you be?

.

He’s little and white

And very light

Oh where oh where is he?

.

I’ve looked for miles

For whiles and whiles

He is nowhere to be found

.

He’s got a little bow

That sways to and fro

Oh where oh where could you be?

.

Into the park

And I hear a dog bark

Oh is it? Could it be?

.

I look all around

My dog I have found

With a branch under a tree.

Happy birthday mate

.

To my friend alan in hospital on his birthday.

It’s 3 am

My birthday

In a hospital bed.

This is where I have resided

For 2 weeks

Lie my head

.

It’s depressing

Just watching the days

Go by

.

The people are nice

Not many British though

Doesn’t worry me

As I’m moved to and fro

.

Inspected, prodded

Like a guinea pig

I just want to recover

I’m sick of being sick

.

I love when people visit

Just to say hello

I can talk for England

Or so the rumors go

.

My friend Phil

All the way in France

I can’t wait to see him

Just another glance

.

I must stay positive

I am a fighter true

It’s my bloody birthday

I know what I got to do

.

These people all care about me

Care how I feel

I need to get better

That is my will

.

I hope you get better mate, always thinking about you

Pet hates

.

Hello to you all
All my friends

I’m going to talk about something
That drives me round the friggin bend

Ha he ha, what will I make you do?
You don’t know yet, haven’t a clue!

I want to talk about, well, our pet hates
What bothers you? What really grates?

You gotta have some good ideas, I trust in you
Tell me what gets your goat, what bothers you

For me it’s people eating, making noise
Ahhhhhhhhhh stop it, your mouth isn’t a toy

Manners cost nothing, they’re god damn free
So please and thank you is a have to be!

Driving up my backside, well that doesn’t pass
I’ll get out my car and kick your bloody ass

Well that’s a few of my pet hates, now over to you
Come on you psycho, what bothers you?

Riches or happiness?

.

Money is great

To get through life

Money is great

To get out of strife

.

It can’t buy you everything

Happiness has no price

It can’t buy you everything

In this labyrinth we call life

.

Choices have to be made

Riches or existence?

Choices have to be made

Decide, be resistant

.

We are judged, judging others

In every step we make

We are judged, judging others

We learn by our mistakes

.

We work to live, not live to work

Waiting to retire, enjoy our lives

We work to live, not live to work

Until health problems are at our sides

.

Riches or happiness

What do you choose?

Riches or happiness

Think carefully, do not lose.

You can win!

I feel I need a boost

If I wish to raise the roof

The next step is before me

I hold my own liberty

I am strong, courageous

Life is tough, laborious

I defy, nothing will stand in my way

Different and proud, there is always another way

Have faith, make your own fate

Believe in you, make mistakes

Learn, grow, flourish like a flower

This is for you, it’s your hour

Never has it mattered more to make your decision today

Life is yours to make it, you align the way

Positivity is your tool

Use it, break the walls

Scream, make noise, shout

That’s it, let it all out

Beat that negativity into the ground

Until you can’t hear it make a sound

Breathe that air, take it all in

Go for it, you can win!

Yes! Success!

In England

I had a good job

I was somebody

It meant a lot

I met someone

Things advanced

She fell pregnant

Wanted to return to France

We moved to France

Left my job

To have a baby

Gave up the lot

I regret not

The choice I made

To be a dad

Even if I was afraid

To be isolated

Conversation nul

Mute even

Life so dull

To start working

In fast food

Never thought possible

But I pushed through

Emasculated

Never felt as trapped

Not able to move

Started to look back

No, no, no

Same email always

With our regrets

Their negative way

I got a 4th interview

A large company

I sold myself

Take a chance on me

The next day at work

I see their lorry

Never noticed before

Will it be fate?

Will I be sorry?

I told myself

If it’s meant to be it will

Angie wished me Irish luck

And told me to chill

Finally some luck

Had shone on me

I’ve got the job

I’m so happy

8 months of applying

Depressing as it’s been

400 applications

Felt like a has been

I told my work

The news today

They were happy for me

In their own way

Goodbye to the fast food

The people that gave me my chance

Now to the new chapter

March the 12th I will dance!

We cannot go back

.

I’m a great believer in karma

As you may already know

I believe what goes around comes around

That’s the way it goes

.

I’ve had some proper shitty weeks

It’s been all getting so much

Then my car broke down

Turned out to be the clutch

.

I had had enough

I cried like a child

My dog comforted me

It lasted a while

.

I been asking myself

Is it cause I don’t believe?

I try to be selfless

And the occasional good deed

.

First stress this week over now

My dog has gone to a good home

She has companions

And lots of space to roam

.

I’m still waiting a call for a job

Been a week in all

Every time my phone goes

I think it’s THE call

.

Still awaiting news for the car

Gonna cost a bomb

So much work to be done

Going on for so long

.

Tomorrow stressing me now

Judgement day

Will change all our lives

It is the only way

.

So I try to stay positive

Although lots of negative crap

Think about the future

Because we cannot go back

happy · Life

Hear me roar

Naked

Free as can be

I’m proud

Can you not see?

.

I am strong 

Tall 

My scream is a roar

When I part my wings

Watch me soar!

.

I hunt my prey

Watching with my eagle sight

I pounce

Sudden

No time for fright

.

I rip it apart

Through flesh and bone

Crimson spewing

I am at home

.

I am the predator

Fear me

Run for your life

If I catch you

Beg for your life

.

I know mercy not

Pity

Futile

I am solitary

Profit from exile

.

Leave my prey uneaten

What do I care?

I am the king

The world is my lair
