        Hard-Fought Discoveries

Sun Crossword

 

​Four across and rhymes with queasy
Starts with E, 'a total breeze'
The Sun crossword’s pitifully easy
Be nice if one day posed a tease.


Approach the girl in sleazy bar, her docile smile responds to wink
Ten-a-penny the country over, win her heart with one cheap drink.
With flattery and feigned interest you fake-laugh her jokes with your disguise
This selling-out is soul destroying, with each forced laugh part of you dies.


Sun crossword’s bereft of guile,
To conquer's seldom hard.
The puzzle's tepid is its style
Designed for the dullard.


A promise here, sweet nothing there, the simple charm attack
Sees easy girl covering cab fare, then lying on her back
A soft stroke here, a firm tug there and she’s trembling through the roof
But as the lark sings in the morn, this girl will learn the truth.


Complete crossword, achieve nothing
Where was that cryptic test?
Was more like mounting a six inch curb
When I crave Everest.


Awake with tight arm round your neck, stare in those needy eyes
Claustrophobia now the price you pay for last night’s no-frills ride.
From bed you creep, from window leap, while she has morning turd
Ponder whether life be simpler if content with Sun crossword

Hasty Wipe

 

 

Room with bath, urgent desire
Y-fronts meet socks and now he fires
Those bombs of waste crash steadily
Like the Luftwaffe over Coventry.

Time's of the essence, an unnatural hurry
Spies between his thighs, detects last night’s curry
Flash glance at watch, taxi can’t be missed
Has blitz relented? Will he stick or twist?

Soft misjudged swoop rings alarm bell
Like a moth to flame into trap he fell
Writing’s now on wall, as he hears cab’s horn
But it drives away as ring-piece gets worn 

Only seems to happen when behind the hour
Or tragic lack of roll left when freshly showered
Chastises himself with wipes of brutal power
Now he limps to date, like a bent sunflower

 

English Flops

 

 

No Wimbledon champion and here lies the blame,

If you’re rich then you’re welcome to join in our game

Those gifted but hard-up must stay away please,

Snobbishness and hierarchy, English tennis disease

 

No hunger nor skill but young Myles has new gear,

Looks the part, but at tennis no hope or idea

Milked parents, paid mega-bucks but all this in vain,

As you can’t buy desire nor toughness of brain

 

Tennis in England's a huge freemason's gig 

Criteria for entrance - a wallet that’s big 

Society with secrets, blows millions each year

But excluding the ‘riff-raff’ has again proved so dear   

 

One day you’ll find Myles in commentary box,

Spouting like once Federer with the other sad flops 

Each devoid of real passion, worn phrases they’ll say,

Posh drones now bore budding young champions away

 

To me it’s so criminal denying access to sport

On the face of lawn tennis a huge royal wart

So break with tradition, reverse this sick plight

Or stick strawberries where the sun sees no light

 

                Forgot what?

 

 

Cocksure strode into the different room,
But for what or why he did forget
Old grey matter did a bunk too soon
His purpose can’t be answered yet.

Stares at the walls of the curious room
Through 80s fridge where Nat West card rests,
Mind reverse, retrace staggered steps
Panicked eyes scan for clues of this quest

Not yet 30 und Auf wiedersehn memory
Mind waved its au revoir at last Glastonbury
He’s sure a cup of tea’s not behind this roam
Sees a vision of his future in a mental home

 

Then majestic second of clarity!
Sweet rays from the Lord set a blank mind free
It was the puddle in the corner shining up at he,
Some recollections of his cat acting sheepishly.

 

Tackles piss with mop to brain's muted cheer
Convinces himself that there’s no problem here.
Breezes from different room, closes worry behind
Bankcard still in fridge confirms he's lost his mind.

Hefty Sentence

 

 

Paid working day for last night’s crime,

Such guilt, remorse and aching spite

The mid-week drink traps next days’ time

So prisoned brain can see no light 

 

With friends I spoke and laughed so well

Drained 7 pints at gentle speed

My sin was hearing landlord’s bell  

But knew no malice, hate nor greed

 

Clock siren wailed to sheer dismay

As eyes unlocked I knew my plight

In hell I lay, agonized at day

Like armless boxer starting fight

 

Throughout rough work my staring eyes

Magnified trivial empty fears

Befuddled brain saw logic die

As anxious doubts rang through both ears

 

For split second, my thoughts did steer

To envy alkies cheating this

Bail secured with morning beer

A plan I wrestled to dismiss

Enlighten You

 

 

PLACE ‘PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE’, ‘FAKE PLASTIC TREES’ AND ‘DISEASE’ IN YOUR HEADS

WITH ‘GLASS ONION’ AND ‘DAY IS DONE’ ‘THIS IS THE ONE’ LOVE SPREADS’

YOU ‘LOOK, KNOW’ ‘I LIKE TO BLOW’, ‘KINKY AFRO’ AND ‘LAID’

HEAR ‘NEW DAWN FADES’, STROKES' ‘RAZORBLADE’ AND STUDY ‘GIRL AFRAID’

 

THIS  ‘SECRET DOOR’, ‘MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR’, ‘IN MY LIFE’S A ‘BEST FRIEND’

LIKE ‘MADE OF STONE’, ‘YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE’, IS ‘MY WIFE’ ‘TO THE END’

HEARD FALL’S ‘FREE RANGE’ AND ‘SOMETHING CHANGED’ WHEN I WAS ‘JUST’ ‘SIXTEEN’

SOME ‘EIGHT MILES HIGH’, ‘SPIRIT IN THE SKY’S ‘THE MODEL’ ‘MUSIC SCENE’

 

YOU’LL HAVE NO ‘F.E.A.R’ ‘ELIZABETH MY DEAR’ ‘WHATEVER’ ‘SOME MIGHT SAY’,

FOR WITH ‘INSIGHT’  ‘THERE IS A LIGHT’ ‘YOU CAN GO YOUR OWN WAY’

NO ‘GOLDEN BROWN’, IN ‘DIRTY OLD TOWN’.. ‘THE MASTERPLAN’ ‘THESE DAYS’

CAN ‘SET ME FREE, WITH STREAMS OF WHISKEY’ ‘HELP’ING ‘GOLDEN GAZE’

 

 

        

                     

‘TUESDAY BLUESDAY’ 

                           The trials of a Tennis Coach

 

 

A six day week makes sense to me,

With four at work and two off free

For time's precious, yet willed away,

Especially on that wretched day

 

Its 8am, the wind is strong,

This first kid’s backhand is all wrong

You tell him why, he drops his head,

You wish you hadn’t left your bed

 

Second lesson slides more downhill,

You feed the ball, her legs stay still

Having missed the thing she answers phone,

Like getting blood out of a stone

 

Third kid asks ‘is serving done at sea?’

We’re two minutes in and he needs a wee

Why does this punk roll up each week?

I know life’s a test but this is bleak!

 

With number four comes more bad news,

Forgotten kit, patience you lose

Bite lip so hard “God’s sake” you say,

Cursing he who invented Tuesday

 

But last child, am I seeing things?

Hits this perfect stroke and my heart sings

Amidst the miles of hell, there was an inch of heaven,

Perhaps the reason there’s not six but seven

 

CORAL THIEVES

 

As you step in betting shop, blue-shirt man gives wry smile,

Fifty in your pocket but it won’t be in short while

You really have strong feeling of that money going far

But when the clock ticks 5pm there’ll be no last hurrah.

 

Cardiff have good pace in team, important nowadays,

And Chopra is now fully fit and scores whenever plays.

Their manager has fine record I heard Geoff Stelling say,

Know bet's a cert, see nothing else than Cardiff win away.

 

Grab midget pen and reach for slip, lets get this bet arranged,

But before ink has ticked the box, you’ve noticed something’s changed

The Bluebirds odds have plummeted, was promised 5/4!

Now this is when you should abort and use the exit door.

 

At 5/6 the risk's too great; scan slip for more value,

Hear blue-shirt man tell punter that he’s stuck a load on Crewe,

Like a fool you hear, his words so clear, advice you’ll later rue

He also mentions Cardiff team’s been hit by bout of flu!

 

Now three o clock’s approaching some decisions must be made,

On entry was no seed of doubt but now your brain's been swayed

So you tick by Crewe, join the queue, now wrong bet has been laid

Throughout the year, his sneer you’ll hear, for his salary you have paid

 

JOB C PLUS HE

 

 

So giro day, you make your way, through stale doors of green,

You’ve made the call, your pride takes fall, now wait till you get seen

No hope beyond this lifeless pond, a dreary dismal view,

But it gets worse, my luck's perverse, I see face I once knew

 

Now back at school, this kid weren’t cool, could barely even read,

Was in the class that couldn’t pass, the heart of special needs

But now my fate has made this date and he wears badge of pride

He holds the cards, now I’m retard and in for a rough ride

 

His eyes alight, in sheer delight, he can’t contain his glee

He asks if I will have a try at chicken factory!

The cheek of he, indignity, the sheer inhumanity

Ten quid a day can float away, fuck Job Centre plus he

 

 

Last Round

 

I tell this tale with sad regret

Of ones who try and slip through net

When wallets out break into sweat

And last up with their round

 

In bars and clubs frequent about

They’re first ones in and last ones out 

Accepting Guinness, ale and stout

But last up with their round

 

When time for drinks they sit on fence

Insulting our intelligence

Out on the tiles at our expense

Still last up with their round

 

Prey on the cats who are too kind

They may fool them, but I’m not blind

A worse stigma I’ve yet to find

Than ‘last up with their round’

 

Now back at home, what do they think?

"I’ve swerved a round and chinned free drink

Have saved a score but now I stink...

Of ‘ last up with my round’" 

 

                          SHIT

 

LATELY I’VE BEEN…

I

'ROULLETE MISTRESS'

 

With her, a painful costly fling

Miss crack cocaine of gambling

‘Please put it in’ she’d softly sing

Could’ve bought a 3 grand wedding ring!

 

In honeymoon, some give and take

But as lust grew I upped the stake

I’d think of her at night awake

There was to be no wedding cake!

 

I’d spin her round, she’d give me ride

Paying more and more to get inside

That whorish temptress stole and lied 

Until all love for her had died

 

Yet still I saw that tempting bitch

I’d visit her and scratch my itch

I got so poor whilst she got rich 

Our relationship’s fundamental hitch

 

 I ended it and left her dive

Still think of her…but I’ll survive

This new one makes me feel alive 

My sexy Betty 365

 

FUCK MY LIFE I'M GOING BALD

A

Ah fuck my life i'm going bald

Pubescent curls have sadly stalled

To middle-age abruptly called

Ah fuck my life i'm going bald!

Fuck a duck it's dissapeared

And pissed off to my nose and ears

A horse-shoe cunt is often jeered

Fuck a duck it's dissapeared

 

For fucks sake I am pure irrate

Declared bankrupt on hair estate

And i've not yet seen 38

Oh fucking hell i'm mad irrate

 

Fuck you God is this my karma?

Dismantling my youthful armour

In mirror see the Dalai Lama 

Fuck you with your heinous karma 

Oh Christ alive i've feared this day

Do I shave the lot and wear beret?

Or save up for a mint toupee

I'll look a twat...whichever way!
