Mindwrap – 9th November 1986

November 9, 1986April 21, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Spinal column shattering
Brain cells clattering
Mindwrap is flattering
Head is taking a battering
Fell into her mantrap
Wrapped in her mindwrap

Thirty Two – 8th December 1986

November 8, 1986April 21, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Now I’m twenty-one
What am I gonna do
When I’ve finished my fun
And I’m thirty-two?

Honest – 7th November 1986

November 7, 1986August 22, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

I fell on a banana skin
It sent me delirious
My friend said
You can’t be serious
Honest guv, straight up and true
Now, would I lie to you?

Submitted to Writer’s Workshop Prompts – honest

Lard – 6th November 1986

November 6, 1986April 21, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Here comes the hard lad
He pretends he’s really bad
Smoking shit and drinking gin
Hey boy, where’ve you been
This world is built for losers
And beggars can’t be choosers
If you choose to beg at my feet
I’ll give you my fist to eat
There goes the hard lad
He makes me really sad

Forget – 5th November 1986

November 5, 1986April 21, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Try to forget it
Try not to regret it
Try to remember the happy times
Try to forget the bad lines
Try to remember what good you did
Try to forget what you hid
Try to remember to stay alive
Try to forget and try to survive

Monument – 4th November 1986

November 4, 1986April 21, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

A monument of historic relevance
Archeologist boasting intelligence
Will someone dig me up in ten million years?
Will someone try to find my hopes and fears?
From the fossil I’ve become
A monument to no one

Garden Path – 3rd November 1986

November 3, 1986April 21, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Tread up
Led up
Fed up
Led on
Fed on
Bled on
Watch the grass grow
On the garden path
Something I’ll never know
Why you led me
Up, up, up, up…..

Crown Of Jewels – 2nd November 1986

November 2, 1986April 21, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Our monarchy
Our democracy
Our despondency
Our reality
Fuelled by fools
For a crown of jewels

Shopping Precinct – 1st November 1986

November 1, 1986November 29, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Down in the town
All the kids meet
Sitting in the precinct
Take the weight off their feet
Shout at the shoppers
Make a nuisance of themselves
Run through the shops
Nicking things off the shelves
Shopping precinct
Social centre
Gathering of the clans
To work out tomorrow’s plan

Plug – 31st October 1986

October 31, 1986April 21, 2024 ~ shaun tenzenmen ~ Leave a comment

Plug me in
To your magazines
Plug me in
To your fantasies
Plug me in
To your future dreams
Plug me in
And turn me on
Plug me in
To your hating
Plug me in
To your scathing
Plug me in
To your waiting
Plug me in
And turn me off
