My tongue may slip And over words I trip But that’s not the bit I think matters Cos conversation clatters It makes and shatters Leaves you complete and in tatters Let’s speak The peak of my speech And the trench of my deeps Won’t ever reach Unless you get over I think it brings us [...]

Me? I enter with skepticism Don’t expect perfectionism It’s not the rhyme And it’s less the rhythm But if the reason’s treason I anticipate a heated collision Come exercise derision Because I got slick lips A read wit And the alternative perk of mysticism All that to say I’ll listen If you listen I’ll read [...]

I have a mighty fuse Yet it’s the fuse of a mite Tiny little tail And so easy to light I don’t go off subtly Like the bubbly soft Bobbing of a kite I spin and fizz and hiss Like a Catherine wheel On a cold and shivering night There’ll be screaming and shouting Panting [...]

I make fantastic When I’m broken So what’s in the way Of my joy pursuit? I snap my best When I dig for truth I’m under no illusion I fester in the clarity I just can’t do it Happily I found it once Followed a hunch Relished a bunch Lost it at the slightest crunch [...]

She don’t miss a trick To wriggle out of it Every little slip in quips She’s got two hands on it Ready to remit Your opinion on it So sweet it’s sick Laid on thick She don’t know All what makes you tic She’s just quick Enough to nip That tiny blip You considered skipped [...]
