That crazy night you thought you had put to bed
Knowing one day it may raise its ugly head
White and blue but caught wearing red
The less we dwell, the less well said
Secrets are a burden to those who carry
The more well hidden, the heavier the tally
Some crazy affair, your accountant named Sally
Better than that drunken kiss with old boss Barry
As distances need stretching more than at arms length
Best leave on a solomn smell and not a suspect stench
Always the star player, never sat on the bench
Discrepancies need securing, best tightened with a wrench
This place is now making me nervous
Lets leave on a high
Before my secrets,
rise to the surface

I get...

Flustered
Stressed
Dressed
Impressed
To cry
The Beatles
By

Pull your socks up,
there are better days to come

The first minute you're out to impress
The hair
The scent
The way you're dressed
The films you have watched
The traffic you have stopped
The firearms cocked
The time is now
The reaction needed is wow
The only thing is to work out is how

Impressions

We can be what we want,
with no exact perfection
A musician
A comic
A poet
Just stick it online
It'll find it's section
Most will sink without discretion
Some surface for limited attention
Give it a go, let's see what you've got
If its no good, then off you trott
But come on, step up,
and take that once in a lifetime bow
Because,
hell,
We're all Famous Now

Look at all the places that I have been
London where I live, that one, I'm not so keen
But are you not in awe of my well travelled life
Pinned an atlas to the wall and just threw a random knife
Australia, New Zealand and home through L.A.
No magnet in Fiji, just a pic of me and the bay
Getting by on the fragments of lingo
Then the essential call home, but mums normally at the bingo
Not much room left for anymore reminders
But no magnet for the Bermuda Triangle, hmm
And on that strange thought
I will leave you to decipher

It's hard to know where to start...
Was it when we smiled at our farts
Our world seemed less offended
By just everyday laughs
Suddenly, we become so precious
When a joke was a joke
And good humour was priceless
On what day did we become so picky
Revising the words in our head
Not to say something deemed tricky
From the nineties nobody could even see
This future we accidentally mapped out
That upsets the whole of Gen Z
Preferable when we,
just went out and rode our luck
Back when we,
didn't give a ....

Remember when we used to get bored?
Sitting on the loo with nothing to do
Reading bottles by the bath,
ingredients to your mums shampoo
Watching the dew roll down,
the inside of the moving train window
Whilst staring at the fields whizz by, wondering, who built that scarecrow
Now a wandering thought is a novelty
We don't want to think, need distractions
A screen now our go to guarantee
Be it in our hand, the phone or laptop
A must in life,
our brains,
sadly,
Are starting to rot
