Pet hates

Phil Lister15 Comments

.

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?

5 senses of dinner

Phil Lister6 Comments

.

Why can’t you hear me?

Is my voice too weak?

I scream and yell out

But I just cannot speak

.

Why can’t you see me?

Is my body too small?

Do I just not matter?

To anyone at all

.

Why can’t you smell me?

I smell really bad

I’ve been here for weeks

I am starting to go mad

.

Why can’t you touch me?

Just to know I’m not alone

What I would give

Just to go back home

.

Why are you tasting me?

What do I taste like?

Free me from this torment

Please, finish my life

Current affairs · Life

The next dictator

Phil Lister2 Comments

Thanks to sherell for this comment:

Wanna be rich

Have it all

Screw the world

Have a ball

Be tempted

By greed true

Suck me in

Glutton do

Sex volantaire

Riches, mountainous

Power great

I don’t make mistakes

Punish me if you dare

Invincible I am

Nothing can stop me

Not even the man

I will destroy you

Into a pulp

Pity your being

My greatness you gulp

Until the next dictator

Will stop me in my tracks

I am the almighty

No going back

Riches or happiness?

Phil Lister7 Comments

.

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.

Shhhhh

Phil Lister6 Comments

.

I see you

Yes, You

You don’t know it

Moi non plus

.

We are

Meant to be

However unlikely

Bubbling free

.

Many miles

Never cross lanes

Minds collide

Passions thrive

.

Give yourself

Release all

Exhaust ourselves

We fall

.

A penny

For them

Can never reveal

Lips sealed

.

Secret true

Love beautiful

Impossible torment

Forever true

What is a true friend?

Phil Lister7 Comments

.

A true friend

What is that?

Someone you can count on

That’s a fact

.

We have friends

As we go through life

Help you through struggles

Hell and strife

.

Just to talk

On the phone

When feeling down

Isolated, alone

.

An email

Just out of the blue

Genuine interest

Friendship true

.

Even a stranger

That you’ve never met

Cares enough

To show that respect

.

No contact,

many years

Such kind words

Emotional tears

.

Advice to help

No one else cares

This person does

Problem shared

.

Distraught from rejection

Just words can help

A little bit of luck

Relief felt

.

If you want a true friend

You don’t have to plan

Think about others

And be the best friend you can.

You can win!

Phil Lister5 Comments

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!

happy · Life · work

Yes! Success!

Phil Lister5 Comments

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!

Tormented Dad

Phil Lister1 Comment

I’m sick of being nice

I’ve taken so much crap

My rage has been building up

I’m gonna use a bat!

.

Bad luck follows me about

Followed by it wasn’t meant to be

Doors just close on my face

This Shit always happens to me!

.

Rejection, bollocks,

I’ve had enough

I’m Fucking good

But can’t get any luck

.

Weekends working,

This has got to change

My kids do not deserve this

I’m going deranged!

.

Abused outside the court room

Keep my calm

Oh how I would of liked

To of caused harm

.

But nice old me

Said nothing like I do

And got walked over

Like a trampled poo

.

Could of been nasty

Stuck in the knife

That is luckily not me

Affecting someone else’s life

.

I thought two steps ahead

Of the knock on effect

Overall who would suffer

From my move to dissect

.

As I believe

It is not for me to say

I know that life will present

All her nasty ways

.

And although maybe I’m bitter

My hatred so strong

I’ve always tried

Just to get along

.

For the sake of our boy

Who deserves none of this

For all your selfish actions

Even when you take the piss

.

I will be civil

Even though I can’t stand you

Your bullshit will show finally

And your transparency will shine through

We cannot go back

Phil Lister2 Comments

.

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
