Chips and Gravy

Chips and Gravy

The dance in the kitchen

Begins to take place

As kitchen utensils

They shall fill this space

The kettle is boiling

The granules sit still

Awaiting their fortune

To show off their skill

The chips do their own dance

They turn golden brown

As each second passes

We watch the countdown

And then comes the moment

When these two shall meet

To form this great marriage

And make a great treat

Three cheers for this great dish

Where joy does come from

The moment you tuck in

It’s om nom nom nom

St James's Park

St James's Park

The monarchs sit on one side

As MPs sit opposed

This green jewel sits in London’s heart

Where beauty is composed

The deck chairs dot the green landscape

With hampers full of treats

As people use their selfie sticks

That then into tweets

The notes breeze in from marching bands

Across the cool calm lake

The ducks shall swim towards stale bread

With ducklings in their wake

In spring the colours fill the air

A technicolour dream

As daffodils play host to all

The bridge sets out its theme

Stood once did smiley crocodiles

Where now stand ducks and geese

St James’s Park a gift for all

Where you shall find your peace

Friends

Friends

A poem about six great Friends

This won’t be a moo point

They often met at Central Perk

This was their favourite joint

This show just could not BE more great

It’s on when we’re awake

I’m not sure if we did find out

If they were on a break

If when it’s on it’s bound to be

For sure our favourite viewing

And while we watch we’ll say for sure

I’m good, and how you doin’?

Transponster is a job we know

Maurice the space cowboy

If WENUSes don’t come on time

They’ll sure be hell to pay boy

But do not fear the cat just smells

To you I say je te plis bloo

I hope you’ve liked this tribute here

And I’ll be there for you

The Coffee Shop

The Coffee Shop

I'm sat here turning pages

As the words call out to me

As you step in through the front door

You're there in front of me

And as I see you standing there 

A picture of my dreams

The smile you paint upon your face

The best of all the beams

A gentle smile to send a sign

To you I shall return

A walk across reflective floors

The word “hi” comes in turn

The words that called sit dancing there

They call out to your eyes

And tell a tale right to your heart

That I might be that guy

That guy for whom you have dreamed of

Who'll share his love with you

So let’s sit here and call our words

Like tea our minds can brew

Favourite things

Favourite things

A fresh cool breeze, a summer's day

The chirping of the birds

The opening of my favourite book

To read those joyous words

A clear calm night, a full moon glows

The noise of babbling brooks

The tasting of my favourite meal

Which only Mum can cook

The sway of flowers in the wind

The feel of thick warm towels

To leave your windows up at night

And hear the hoots of owls

That feeling when your thirst is quenched

The smell of fresh cut grass

A gazing to a sky of blue

The sun bursts through the glass

These things above I love them so

They fill me with much glee

And all the things above my dear

Are what you mean to me
