“Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But, since no one was listening, everything must be said again.” – Andre Gide
Sleep is easy
You don’t need to practice
Close your eyes
Then you’ve cracked it
Sleep is deep
Ours to keep
Got to bed

25th Sept 2023 – Maybe at this time, as a teenager, I found sleep easy and desirable. As I got older though I became envious of those who could sleep anywhere, anytime (usually females). Why can’t I do that?
I wanna make love
To my golden girl
I wanna make love
All over the world
I wanna make love
To Minnie Mouse
I wanna make love
To a cartoon
I wanna make love
To Penelope Pitstop
Cartoon characters
Make me swoon
There’s a new fashion
It’s just hit the streets
It’s infected everyone
Everyone you meet
They’re in front of your eyes
Lots and lots of spots
The latest fashion
Is for polka dots
Free speech therapy
Only for some
Free speech allowed
Only for the dumb
It’s so hard to get anything done
It’s so hard to touch the sun
It’s so hard to have any fun
It’s so hard to be the one
It’s so hard for us to run
It’s so hard waiting for you to come
It’s so hard to prove you’ve won
It’s so hard, I just can’t get along
A cut with a knife
Could’ve taken my life
I could still die
I wanna know why
I’m still bleedin’ bleeding
You cut into my frame
It was an evil game
I thought I’d healed the wound
Or so I had assumed
But I’m still bleedin’ bleeding
A depressed move
Definitely not a great
I’ve got you now
You’re chessed, mate
Teeth in your ears
Never wears clothes
Eyes in your mouth
What is it? Who nose?
Eyebrows on your chin
Never looks awake
Nostrils on your forehead
What is it? Faceache
Someone has to be it
Better than the rest
Someone has to provide
The others with a test
When you’re on top
Feet off the ground
There’s only one place to go
And that’s down
Chocolate bar
In your car
Red hot sun
Chocolate run
Gooey mess
On your dress
All the way down
Sticky and brown
The moral of the story is
If you’ve ever felt
Your chocolate melt
Don’t leave them in cars
Or you’ll have a messy Mars
