Very (My Very Very Loo)

I smelt the very man's presence 
with my very own nose
the aftershave he'd so very heavily applied. 
With his very own hands
across his very own body
...so liberally spread 
it couldn't be denied!

The very sound of his breathing 
from his very own lungs
noisily escaping through his very nasel hair
that itself was escaping 
from the very same nostrels
so many; and so lengthy,
it was hard not stare!

I saw the very man with my very own eyes.
I heard his very voice
with my very own ears.
He sounded very distressed 
and his words were lightly spoken
but my brain understood it - it appears.

It seems the very man had been very very unlucky 
on the very lengthy journey he had planned for that day.
He somehow got very muddled
and spilt his very hot coffee
over his very very lap
along his very very way!

I thought it very odd that this very red faced chap
on a very lengthy journey would have suffered in this way
and that this very unfortunate chap should have happened there upon me
without so very very much to say!

It seems the very incident was merely the beginning
setting a chain reaction into play.
The very smell that lead the way
was the perfume of his wife
and the reason he was wearing it
he would very soon portray 

With some very unfortunate timing
she sneezed as she applied
sending clouds of perfume his very way!
As he drove the very car
he'd became most very thirsty
and the coffee that was held
in its cup - just wouldn't stay!

Again some very bad timing
(or a very perfect storm)
perfume heading skywards in one splurge
covering him - cup released
very coffee on his lap
very car and it's occupants 
both very bruised and very creased!

...and the coffee from the cup?
Soaked his very face
because the very car had hit a very tree.
Both unhurt but very - very shaken
the car very - very written off
the hapless two were very - very lucky if... I am not mistaken!

So; I was very shocked as the very man appeared,
smelling very sweetly - after tales of 'daring do'!
yet all that he could say was 
could he have a glass of water

...and may he use my very very loo!



It's Very Quiet

Leap forth possesed,
start getting dressed,
cursing - swearing,
what 'my wearin'?
Where's me shoes?
Which shirt to choose?
My keys? - my bag,
no breakfast - snag!
Crispie? Crunchie?
what's for lunchie?
The bread looks nice, grab a slice.
But where's the wife?
(My trouble and strife?)
The kids aren't down,
(wear a deeper frown!).

A shout upstairs,
but no-one cares,
It's very quiet,
not the usual riot!
Shout once more,
then a creaking door
and a voice from behind - it,
shouts - it's - Saturday - you - twit!!!

I'm really very sad to say

I'm really very sad to say
soon 't will be my lastest day.
Whilst Sidmouth I will visit loads
to Sidmouth College I'll make no roads.
No rainbows end with pots of gold,
just emptyness - sad and cold.
But on a lighter side - I'm glad,
what I'll be doing ain't 'alf bad!
So think of me when autumn comes,
you; ahead year of sums.
I'll be doin' 'alf a week,
for twice the dosh (a flippin' cheek!)
On all me favourite social sites,
I'll soon have Facebook bang-to-rights!
Blogging, Websites, YouTube too,
oh the hell - what will I do!?

But; back to sadness for a mo',
I'm really gonna miss you so!
(What ya doin' - poetry day?
I'll look you up, if I'm down this way!)

Listen Very Hard

Silence - rare like diamonds - gold - happiness.
You can't buy silence online
"Two tins of nothing at all please! - What was that?"
I thought I heard myself think.
The 21st century stopped for a second,
all those TV's and radios
the cars and planes,
just for a second - stopped.

And there I was - me!
"Hello..." - too late!
The 21st century kicked in again!
Kicked in; and I was gone!
Like a chance meeting,
never to be repeated.
I was gone,
lost under the din that is our lives today.

I'm sure I'm still there - me, in amongst it all -
and I'm sure I will get another chance to hear myself.
I guess I'll just have to be patient - or listen very hard!
