Ferrari Across The Mersey.

 

Every Traffic -light has a Grand Prix start

For Boy racers in their testosterone fuelled cars

Every pedestrian is legitimate target to mow down

Score extra points for cyclists, dogs, and older people to

Students taking selfies glued to their mobile phones

Don’t hear you coming at them from front or behind

If I miss them, I’ll get them next time

Blood on asphalt Mad Max on the Redline

Auto erotic Car Crash TV

Vanishing point, Two lane Blacktop

John Carpenter’s Christine

Thelma and Louise drive over the precipice

Terror In the Dentist’s Chair.

You’re in the Waiting Room…

He’ll be coming soon

How are you today?

Won’t you step this way!

Now sit down in the Chair

Only the nurse is here

Why don’t you open wide

I’ll have a look inside…

It’s Just Terror ,Terror

in the Dentists Chair…

Now I’ll give you Gas or Novacain

that’ll soothe the pain

One good pull will do

Delirious I never knew

Pink Mouthwash rinse it out…

Gushing blood spit it out…

Make another appointment please

I’ll see you again next week!

The Lord Of The Onion Rings.

 

The Lord of the Onion Rings

Master of the Hula Hoops

Cheesy crunchy Monster Munch

I am the Lord of the Onion Rings

Giant bag of Krips Crisps to crunch

Addicted to Cheese Cheddars

And original Ritz crackers

just can’t stop eating them!

The Tubular crisps

will clog my arteries

and place on the Porcelain

Kingdom of thrones

The Lord of the onion rings

will be on unexpected journey

to Bogtroll land once more!

The Men From U.C.L.A.

Men in white coats, Scientists of the mind

Coming to take me away

to be fully institutionalised

I’ll have my own padded cell

and Savile Row straightjacket

liquid cosh to keep me Quiet

They will arrive in a non descript

Laundry van to disguise their activities

hidden in plain sight, denial plausibility

extremely clandestine covert plan

The Men from U.C.L.A.!

Plannet Zogg!

 

It was 68/69 and I was tripping out

On psychedelic mushrooms ,green tea, and Brussel Sprouts

It was really far out man,

You know what I mean?

I’m living on Plannet Zogg so it would seem

My rock rolls in swirling colours like John Lennon’s Rolls Royce

Some people are just weird man, that’s their choice

On the day the Eagle landed on the moon

I had already been there on my flying spoon!

Spaced out flying high till I came down

Crash landing on Plannet Zogg  in stereo surround

CRAZY PAVING!

Crazy paving, I’m cracking up

Stone cladding you ain’t so tuff

Cement ponds in Netherley hills

Concrete overcoats for unpaid bills

Crazy paving I’m walking over you

Laying down with the hardcore crew

Stone taxi I’m flagging you down

Take me to Mr. Flintstone in Bedrock Town

Crazy paving I’m cracking up over you

With your concrete mixer stir the stew

You’re out of plumb lines are not so true

Is you’re circle coloured blue

Crazy paving you’re set in your concrete ways

You’re going off in sedimentary clays

CRAZY PAVING! full post
