Crooked
Mark Bell Jan 17
Walked a
crooked mile
Climbed a
crooked stile
Had a
crooked we we
All with a
crooked smile.
Went through
a crooked door
Said hello to
my crooked wife

crooked Drunk
in my entire life.
Fell into my
crooked bed
Then the room
went crooked
Inside my
Spinning head
Then up come
the crooked Food

duly fed
I’d been to a
Crooked party
Hosted by
Crooked people
In a city
Called Salisbury
That has a
Crooked steeple.

On the

Drinking
Lots of cider,
Then out of a
Tree
Came a

Downward spiral
Mark Bell Jan 16
Fragile Earth
With paper wings
Fragile cities
Where no one sings.
Fragile world
Lands are burning
Planet crying slowly
Turning,
Angels and unicorns
Are abandoning ship
On a toss of a coin
The sun will dip.
Fragile humans
In a boot with no lace
Letting creation
Fall from grace.

My racoons
Mark Bell Jan 16
I wandered lonely
With my raccoons
With a back pack on
And their
Bassoons
We were heard
Before we were seen
In the mountains
In the cities
Blowing out tunes
And reciting ditties,
Townsfolk would
Take there pills
Following us blindly
Into the hills.
These crazy tunes
Would make
them hyper
My raccoons
Had
Became the
Modern day
Pied piper.
We cleansed streets of
The human race
We took the homeless
To better place,
These raccoons
And their bassoons
Are coming to a town
Near you soon.
You will hear us
Before you see
You don’t need
A ticket the
Music’s free.

My bad penny.
Mark Bell Jan 14
Act one

Im being haunted
By my brother Mike
He was an *******
But weirdly well liked.
A character and
a bad dude
Quite intelligent
Really lewd.
Typically funny
Given a chance
He’d steal your money
He was well liked
My brother Mike.

Act two

My brother Mike
Saw the light
Somehow the
God squad
Thought he
was alright.
I tried to tell them
They were wrong
That
Robbing them blind
Wouldn’t take long.

Act three

Having a heart
Bitter and cold
The god squad
Fell into his
Charming fold.
I think god finally
Got his way
Likeable ****
Never lasted the day,
Heart attack banged
His head
Hospital calling
In act four
Finally dead.

Act five

He was a my brother
A nasty shrike,
Gullible people
They would like.
They would give
him
All there
money
Im still being
haunted and
Still finding it funny.

DRIP
Mark Bell Jan 14
Health and safety
World War One
Trying to keep
To the rules
Now that’s
Called fun.
Don’t do that
You might die
Wear a yellow hat
Safety laws do apply.
When protecting
Your ungrateful
Nation
Don’t get
injured because
Employers
are
saying
No to
compensation.
Bullet in the head
Mud in your eye
Health and safety
It’s better to die.

Don’t get it
Mark Bell Jan 14
Madness and pain
Partners in crime
Only getting relief
A little at a time.

Joyful and love
It’s songful rap
I prefer to call it
The happiness trap.

Hope and despair
Highs and lows
Let these inside
Nothing will flow.

Truths and lies
They hide in prose,
When inside disguise.
Nothing grows

War and peace
Death and life
A Truce would
be like
Sliding down the
Edge of your knife.

Beatles or the Rolling Stones
Blur, oasis or the undertones
In life the music you choose
I prefer Rory Gallagher
Playing the blues.
Mark Bell Jan 13
Never caring
When the
Cold wind blows
Always stalwart
Forever bad
Your my witch
My
Stalingrad.
Your my backbone
Never to be shot
Your my witch
From Salem lot.
Mind so sharp
You have no heart
A hoard of
Werewolves
Couldn’t tear
Us apart
The problem was
We did not forsake
So they  made a fire
And Burnt us
on a wooden stake
Jan 13 · 38
Took up bowls
Mark Bell Jan 13
Playing bowls
On a green rink
Harder than golf
I do think.
Got to roll a wood
To a ball
called Jack
Then turn around
And then
play back.
Playing this game
Will shatter
my heart
Will hurt
my soul
Because I’m crap
At golf
And now
******* bowls.
Jan 13 · 41
Golf
Mark Bell Jan 13
Playing golf
No holes in one
My ******* round
Was not much fun,
I hooked the ball left
I sliced the ball right
Every hole
I played
****** *****.
After ranting
And raving
I couldn’t
give a ****
I Threw my clubs
In a nice yellow skip.
Problem I got
Golf is very dear
It’s the 20th set of clubs
I brought this year
Golf breaks my heart it
Shatters my soul
If I don’t get better
Im taking up bowls.

I am of on a jaunt
Mark Bell Jan 13
Gone and brought
A Tardis
Inside larger
Than you think
Mines not a police box
It’s shaped like a sphinx
Not sure where this
Rhyme wants to go
Back or forward
I’ll let the stylus flow
I don’t want to run or fight
Not put any injustices right
Im of to the future to put
Certain objects in place
Maybe one day they will
Save the human race.
Me and the sphinx decided
We will go back in time
Just to sing with Elvis
When he was in his prime.
There still selling Tardises
Any shape and wide
Smaller on the outside
And bigger inside.

Born to suffer
Mark Bell Jan 12
Suffering from dysthymia
Don’t feel sorry
Im not a wretch
I am coming out
Of a two year stretch
Suffering with moods
Every single day
Bereft and lacking
It’s been my way
Sometimes I think
I am on the way up
Then all of a sudden
The door slams shut.
Door sometimes
I leave ajar
So I can escape
But I never get far
Anxiety and panic attacks
I feel  so alone
I go into reverse
And head back home.
When i am at home
Biding my time
To get through this ****
By writing these rhymes .

My mate horse
Mark Bell Jan 12
Riding the plains
With two legged horse,
A sidekick
Brilliant
Fast of course.
Indians to the left
Indians to the right
We fought those
Reds way into the night.
With two legged horse
We had some fun
Horse went crazy
With his loaded gun.
Popped them Indians
He was so adept
By the end
Of the fight
There were
no Indians
Left.
Horse was irate
Created a farce
In that commotion
He got an arrow
In his ****.
Two legged horse
My sidekick
I made him jump
As I pulled it out quick
Poor old horse
Life got bleak
Couldn’t sit down
For about twenty weeks.

A few silly rhymes
Mark Bell Jan 12
Japanese kamikaze pilot
Thought he was hard.
Crashed his plane
In his family’s scrap yard.


Went to hospital
Freddie was low
For a blood test
Result didn’t show
Freddie feeling miffed
I said to him b positive.

I had obsession with
My  football team
Happy wife so
It seemed.
My lover left me
She gave no reasons
I was with her
For seven seasons.

We had a kidnapping
At are school
Police and the teacher
We’re ****** fools,
Panicking eyes wide shut
I gave him a nudge
And my mate woke up.

What do’s the future
Hold for me
So I made an appointment
With a psychic
Named Lee,
I thought this psychic
Was totally ****
He cancelled my
appointment saying
No way I was going
To be able to make it.

My mate
Harry Rag
He liked to talk
He liked to brag.
He said he made 6 figures
Last year,
Bragging this to me
I found out
he was the
Worst employer
at the
Toy factory.
Mark Bell Jan 11
Friendly people
Everywhere,
About in the cities
Without a care.
Pavement walkers
Drinking coffee beans
While
Red light girls are
Trying to be seen,
Friendly people
All different shapes
All types of genders
Going on dates,
Shops along
the bustling street
Open selling
there tasty wares
Happy  people
Eating
smiling
Everywhere.

Wide boys everywhere
These people will con
You if you’re unaware.
They will take  your money
Take your phone
Swipe the ice cream from
Your tasty cone,
They don’t drink coffee
They just  steal
from shops
Ducking and diving
Evading the cops,
There’s unhappy people
Everywhere
They roam the streets
These people do not care.

Daleks

A camel with one ****
Could do better job than
Putin and Trump
Please please don’t leave

To exterminate.

Buckingham palace

Ghosts of uck hall
Mark Bell Jan 10
Scary ghosts of uck halls
Threw lavish parties
And summer *****.
One criteria on the
Invitation read
You had to be
Physically dead

I didn’t stop me
I had a plan
I disguised myself
As a baked bean can

My Skelton mate
Went to the bar
Asked for a pint
And a mop
It was different
That night he
Never spilt a drop.

The band played thriller
Drinks went down well
Trap door opened
Out popped lucifer
From the road to hell.

Ghost of Dracula
And Frankenstein
Dancing singing
Drinking bottles
Of wine.

Party went on well
Past five
The bouncers evicted
Me because they
Found out  I was alive.

Next year
I am
Going to
be dead
Just like the
invitation read.

Ghostly ghosts
Of uck hall
Great parties
But not for all.

Mark Bell Jan 10
Dreamt of a happy
Christmas
It never came
We all went down
Sick
****** shame.
Vaccinations
What a load of shat
Hot honey and
A lemon drink
And a cuddle
from the cat.
New year come and went
Bank balance didn’t
Take a dent.
Me and the cat were
Nearly back to square one
So all you people in poetry
Land have a good year
And lots of fun.

Can you remember
Cosmic Dave
I was a fan
Of this star man.

Who woke up
With little Suzie
After a night
A little *****.

10cc always came
In handy
She flew me
With passion
My friend Mandy .

Tricky Dicky
Clever Trevor
Dury lane theatre
They still play together

Who remembers Roxanne
And her red light
Policemen visited
Her mostly every night.

Caroline a diamond
Billie Jean a thriller
Formed a band with
Bonnie and Clyde
They called themselves
The killers.

Mickey and Jessica
They did like Jude
But things went scary
When along came Mary
Now not
cool young
dudes.

For us supporters
A German thats hard.
We’ve had an Italian
We’ve a had a swede
Still it’s just pure fantasy.
This manager has no class
Like all the rest
Not good enough
To wipe Alf Ramseys ****.
The trophy room
Countable of one.
It’s like having bullets
But no ****** gun,
Tuchell singing god
Save the king
Thats going to be
A tricky thing.

Dating sites
Mark Bell Jan 9
Went on a dating site
I didn’t seem right
Ending up dating
A lady called Mike
This was embarrassing
Don’t you see
This lovely lady
Had a bigger Wicket
Than me.
I was stumped
Didn’t know
What to do
So I phoned up
Sherlock
To give us a clue
This lovely lady
With a wicket
And two bails
I think this relationship
Was doomed to fail.

Flowers in bloom
Church bells ring
For the bride and groom.
Butterflies are on

Listen to the
choir sing,
The congregation
Of to the pub
to
Down some
ales
And
Eat lots
of grub.
Music starts
the band
Plays on
The bride dances
To her favourite song,
While the groom
Is doing something
Terribly wrong.
Use your imagination
It’s a difficult mess
With the bridesmaid
He wasn’t playing chess.
Spring is here

Odd
Got a  big dog
Called
Blacksmith
Stands four
Foot from
The floor
Every time
I kick him
He makes
A bolt for
The door.

My my mate
Shane
Got hit by a train
He wasn’t happy
Life did not fit
In the end
He’s was
Chuffed to bits.

Noah the dog
Lost his bark,
Walking
In the rain
Other dogs
would laugh
Too see him
in such pain,
He got his voice back
This obedient chow
They laughed
Even louder
When he went meow.

Stair way to heaven
Mark Bell Jan 9
I got my kicks
On route 67
She lived at
The top
Of my
stairway
To heaven.
Her lust for life
Second to none
She was my pretty woman
In her house of fun.

Loving her was
A coming Of age
Beauty personified
My teenage rampage,
Very sweet she’s truly
Alive wow she loved my
Dimblegate drive.

I got my kicks
Out of route 68
I gave her all my
Loving
When I was at her gate.
We Get it on
we did not fret
High on the happy side
I made her wet wet wet.

I got my kicks
on route 69
That’s where
Rhiannon
My pretty woman
Didn’t walk the line

Got my kicks
on route 70
Up that stairway
I did get
plenty,
Her loving arms
My jailhouse rock
Use your imagination
I’ll do anything
For love but
I won’t do that.
