Fiddle dee dee
I wrote this today for my year 3 violin class (7 and 8 year olds) – sometimes I love my job.. ❤

Why Can’t You Love Me?
You love your dog you love your car
Sometimes you love a big cigar
You love to go a bit too far
Why can’t you love me?..
Musings on a PPI phone call….

I kept to myself and worked hard at school
I never asked much, back for my life
So Where’s the returns on my sacrifice?…

I Grieve For My Madness

Now it’s so calm and still
Everything’s so dull compared to
When I was ill…
The Shed
When you were a carpenter there was purpose in your stride
There was an ease about you, you seemed more satisfied…
