The Small Fortune

Worst time he'd ever had

The proverbial bad penny
Cursed since it was struck
The man was lost, such tiny cost
With small fortune he was stuck

Sadly, he expired
And fell upon the floor
The penny rolled away
Gleaming innocence once more

He should have paid attention
To a story that's oft told
The moral to the tale
Is all that glitters is not gold...

Easy

I am a silent killer. You don't even know Im stalking you. Sitting, waiting. Waiting for a time. When I will spring forward and claim you as my prize. You will be mine. Of that I can be sure.

Ex-alcoholic

I went to the bar. To get me a drink. It wasn't the type. That you'll all think. In goes the whiskey. Lager and rum. Top up with vodka. Now isn't this fun. Pour in some extras. Bitter and coke.

Lamppost...

A black silhouette, Rising tall, Pinching the horizon, With a dazzling drool. Sparks of light, Shoot down like rockets, Landing on the ground, The emerald grass-alit.

Thermometer...

I wake up in the morning, Feet freezing cold, Dash down the stairs, To see what the weatherman has foretold.

Doughnut...

The sweetest indulgence, Smothered in delight, On the table, A heavenly sight. Sprinkles on top, Crunchy yet sweet, That wonderful sensation, When they melt on your teeth.

Key To Your Heart...

Perfectly moulded, To fit your heart, One small key, Keeping us apart. When will you find it. How long will it be. Until you unlock my loneliness, Joining you and me.

Milkshake...

Milky indulgence, In a glass, Little strawberries on top, Key to love, at last. Slimy berries, Hidden under the pinkness, All beautifully crimson, Kings of loveliness. Everyone loves a milkshake.

Rollercoaster...

Soaring across the sapphire sky, A great big neon rollercoaster ride. Streaks of fluorescent emerald green, Miles and miles away, it can be seen.
