The wild is calling
Fallout is falling
The wild is beckoning
On the day of reckoning
Enola’s looking grey tonight
But little boy came through the fight
Big man wiped away the tears
That were shed for the last six years
Every man, woman and child
Succumb to the call of the wild

Exhausted – 15th May 1986
Totally wrecked
I’m sure it’s the end
Working so hard
It’ll drive me round the bend
Flipped my lid
Tired and depressed
I’m so exhausted
I think I’ll have a rest
Bob The Goat – 11th May 1986
Bestiality is the best
Animal love, fur caressed
But my love was a coat
Poor old Bob the goat
29th Sept 1986 – My coworker Stuart was maybe 5 to 10 years older than me at the time and was always very vague about his relationships eventually resorting to the line that he had a goat called Bob as his girlfriend and hence this poem. Semi-ironically he got married a couple of years later, presumably to a woman. He used to go swimming a lot to keep fit but got out of the pool one day to find his bag had been taken from the changing rooms and everything stolen from it, including his wedding photos that he had gotten printed that day and all his clothes! He had to wait for the police to arrive in just his swimming trunks.
Screaming Tinned Tomatoes From Outer Space – 6th May 1986
They came in ships
Flying through space
They came to take over
The human race
They were screaming mad
And acting bad
The film dragged on
But the humans won
Sent the tin cans running
Back to their planet
I boiled up some tomatoes
And stuffed them like a gannet

Bilious – 21st April 1986
You really are full of it
The things that you say
I don’t believe a thing
Why don’t you just go away
Cos you’re full of bile
You’re so hideous
Your name is
Bullshit Bilious
On Hope – 19th April 1986
Ain’t no drunk on junk
Ain’t no jerk going berzerk
Ain’t no fool being cool
Ain’t no dope living on hope
Queen Of Spades – 18th April 1986
You’re in her grip
Ready to face fire
You’re on top
Of your funeral pyre
The queen of spades
The black maria
29th Sept 2023 – My mum taught me how to play this card game and I taught my friends at school and in the village too. Though we renamed it Hunt The Cunt, because we were teenagers.
Complications – 15th April 1986
Life ain’t so easy
When you’re swimming against the tide
You can’t turn around
Or you’ll be taken for a ride
Complications
Cause frustrations
You can toe the line
Or turn to crime
I’m tired so I’ll turn around
Close my eyes and hope I’m not drowned
Memories – 10th April 1986
Fade now into the past
These memories will never last
Childhood reminiscences
Blunted my senses
Memories and recollections
My only protections
In my old age
And the wars I wage
Against senility
And young men’s infantry
Closed Circuit – 25th March 1986
Cameras in the corners
Follow you through the hall
Watch your every move
At my every call
Watch you when you sleep
Watch you when you eat
Watch you turn on
Watch you in complete
My perversion
Closed circuit TV
Watching you
Watching me
