WORDS ! - - - More intoxicating than the HERBS !
many tho' would disagree - - - without the herbs, your mind's not free
so I re-think my phrase - - - OBVIOUSLY!
WORDS - - - are as intoxicating as the HERBS
But that's before we had the 'DO'
the 'Holy smoke', 'the witches brew'
Our minds went forth quite unrestricted
the old, the young & even those afflicted.
so I decide with great elation
to revise my former assertation.
I now know what I need to do
Just counter-pose the former two !
hence
HERBS - - - More intoxicating than the WORDS
It starts out with wanting new shoes & new dresses
We hold a market twice a week
With food-stuffs that won’t harm us
& once a month, we get a treat
When its run by the local farmers.
But Olives, nuts & special oils
I’m sure cannot be Local
& I don’t recognize the ‘breeds’ of meat
am I that much of a Yokel ?!
I know why it happened
& we must be going MENTAL
but one too many trips to Spain
sent us all CONTINENTAL ! ! !

It’s twice as nice with Asda Price
& Every Little Helps
Or, Try Something New Today
Jamie Oliver yelps.
Now you think you’ve got a bargain
& its Asda Price renown
you got your cut price shopping
but you haven’t got a town !

The incontinence problem
It just has to be stated
I’m so dehydrated
A cool Diet Coke would do nicely.
But Aspartame is bad
Neurologically sad
& The cost to my health would be pricey.

The place card of despair
The modern matrimonial pair
Must plan their day with utmost care
Of who to sit with whom & where?
I wave the place card of despair

The Agoraphobic Blues !
I read all the papers & listen to the News
The country's going crazy & there's Mad Men on the loose
the kids have all got A.S.B.O.'s & there's a heightened fear of crime
But I think I've got it beaten . . . 'cos I stay in all the time !
I get my news from 'The Daily Mail', 'The Mirror' & 'Express'
but I'm sure that all this talk of crime just adds to my Distress !
the growing Paranoiac State is making me feel hyper
& I'm cautious now, when I leave the house – ever watchful for that sniper !
I think the Government's grooming us ! (those few that we elected)
& the paper's help, with tales of Doom, I feel its what's expected
But I don't think that I'm special, & I don't mean to scream & shout
But, “everywhere I'm looking - Agoraphobia's breaking out” ! ! !
I SPOKE OUT !
First, they came for the Communists - - - -
& I Spoke Out
because I have friends in the 'C.P.G.B.' !
Next, they came for the Catholics & Jews - - - -
& I Spoke Out
because it's all ecumenical to me !
Then they came for the Homosexuals - - - -
& I Spoke Out
because a person cannot be defined by their Sexuality !
Then they came for the disabled - - - -
& I Did Not Speak Out
because I didn't have the energy ! ! !

First they came for the Nike's
& they were queuing round the block !
Then the fashion changed
& the Kids went all Reebok !
Then they came for 'Heelies'
& they scooted out of the shop !
But no-one came for the generic brands
& they were left with quite a lot !!!

I don't duel & joust, with shiny knights
'cos to battle with verse -- is just more polite !
But when I'm attacked -- with a sword or a stick
I cannot fight back -- with my words or my wit.
So I back off from fights, saying, " I'll see you later "
then, I quickly plan my attack out - - - on paper ! ! !
