In foreign ground they laid me, I’m so very far from home
Bright poppies sway and dance while moisture drips on cloth and bone

So long ago - but I recall, the sunshine on my face

How many times have I told you
Not to leave all your clothes on the bed
Some times I can’t help but to wonder
What the hell’s going on in your head

I’m sorry dear but you get nasty

One night when I was weary
I lay dreaming things quite dreary
Dreaming of a time when many
Might have thought of me a bore

When I heard a sound behind me
And it came to me unkindly

My sister Rebecca is pretty
And she looks very good for her age
And she’s had quite a life in this city
Hey I’ve even seen her on the stage

She's brought up a beautiful family

I’ve worn this proud old uniform
For thirty years and more
You’d think I’d have a hold on life
And that I’d know the score

But years of dealing with life’s crap
Has left me in a fog

I love you dear
Oh please come near
You’re every thing to me
And as you pass the kitchen
Can you bring a cup of tea

You fill me up my only love
You are my very life

I’ve got you now you little mouse,
Your tail beneath my paw
I’ll toy with you and have some fun,
And then you’ll be no more

Yes when I’m through I’ll have a bite

As ageing runs behind me
And I struggle to keep pace
I feel age showing
Knowing I’ve begun to loose the race

What was my pride
My fitness
Is leaving me in droves

This is a little story bout a woman slightly rough
Not really very girlie and she thinks she’s kinda tough
Tattoos abound her body, arms and back and on her breast

A ghastly noise as it roared on
Black smoke and sparks from stack
And not a single rail beneath
No sign of railway track

It’s headlight piercing through the night
Just like a one eyed snake

When he was just a weedy lad
All visually askew
I’d see cars slow and people stare
He’d give them quite a view

With razors on and flat top hair
All pricked up looking cool

As I awoke this morning a bright new day was born
I struggled out of bed I gave burp and little yawn

I staggered off to toilet intending just to piss

Dens the name - I’m old and grey
with only one good eye
But in my heart I’m just a lad
as fair young things I spy

And what is this, a younger lass,
with body sweet and tight

As Rodney gummed his tucker
he thought about his life
of looking good and full of teeth
so he could find a wife

No good this stuff with gums abare
an awful looking view

He stands erect like lightning rod. As neat as pin and quite well shod
His buttons gleam, his badges flash, he’s full of strength and full of dash
