Piety and sobriety

Piety and sobriety, not for me, not for me, for I like to step forwards drunkenly, not always but sometimes, when the night and the telly has bored me silly, yes, I drink here, and I drink there, and I wander where I will, and I stagger everywhere eventually, and I see double most usually, […]

Paranoid state

Arrive early, leave late, make sure no one sees you, in this oppressive state, for many are with cold war minds, and so, you will get to know, the anxiety and the paranoia of the place, because the leader who took charge has such ill manners, and will smash you into the ground, if you […]

Pandemonium

A friend said to me once, I like pandemonium, and I replied yes, absolutely I quite agree, I agree that there is joy in pandemonium, for in this life, we have more than enough blandness, and not enough vibrancy, and the colour of life, and the colour of us, how often it is bled from […]
