King of the Dinosaurs!
woken up by the sound of a wide brush,
and now sitting proud in a grand hall
towering over us all
while human children look and read,
what he liked, for a feed.

Although it might seem a great idea at the time,
Vexed questions of how you spend your money abound
As instead of sharing your good fortune,
Reactions to those around you cant be called charitable
In fact, they’re reminiscent of a Dickens character
Christmas can’t come fast enough for you,
Expect a haunting or two come Christmas Eve

Surveying his kingdom
purched preening on his prime position
rivals daren’t come close
as the self professed “king of the close”
yells out to all comers – “keep off – that’s MINE!”

Family sit on the bank,
they’ve been doing this for years
keeping an eye out for their neighbours
providing cover from the atlantic wind
for the plants, and sometimes an animal or bird
and giving shade to the pretties in pink
their reward for this task
watching the breakers
coming in to the shore
Salford, Monday 4th May
It’s early morning, as i rise
and the street is busy to my surprise
for waking up the chorus (Dawn)
a pussy cat, a little forlorn
He’d spent his time, with his pals last night
playing around under the street lights
but now Ra is up, it has to be said
this furry old cat wants in for his bed
His stomach is full, thanks to a friend on the street
corned beef from a can – a most tasty treat
but his thoughts turned to breakfast, as on street he did play
so off to the garden , he began to make way
And up is his owner, so he’s through the back door
and slowly he goes off to his bed on the floor
so while humans are out, with meetings they keep
our furry old pussycat, is in bed, sound asleep

It’s that thing that’s ultimately unique to you
despite your troubles, your aches
your problems or pains
you still manage to get through the day
all in a kind, and friendly way

Every easter, it’s rumoured
a furry fellow in white
sends a special delivery
to commemorate the resurrection to
every kid in the neighbourhood
ready wrapped and sent as quick as Santa

A tale of an ice cube in Summer, by Inky
An ice cube took a holiday
from the freezer he was in
took a trip to warmer times
enjoying with a grin
He sat on a place by some fruit
just by the processed meat
and began to drip on his saucer
staying together – a bit of a feat
Avoiding the butter and onions
he waited in his pool
dripping away in the fridge
while others thought it cool
but then oh what a great big show,
as into a jug he did go
joining the fruit and ice cubes in the pool
keeping the humans lovely and cool

The character from a favourite children’s book
Instantly bringing laughter to
Children and adults alike
Keeping them giggling
Like there’s no tomorrow
Expect cheerful sounds filling the room

For a while now he’s occupied that spot on the shelf
If you can’t spot him – he’s
Gracing us with his presence sitting by the clockwork guardsman
Up by the laptop brush – in the shape of a car
Ready to leap to action – when his spaceships been built
Except at the moment – he’s happy where he is
