K.C. O-M-G!
Speeding Through Cornwall
Speeding through Cornwall
on the G-W-R
warm and comfortable
and quite near the bar!
Stations we stop at
some we fly through
wind turbines spinning
powering the view
Woods, estuaries
a church with a steple
the back garden views
and roads full of people
sheltering in hedges
sheep in the fields
with trees 'round the edges
Viaducts and bridges
branchlines that go
to seaside destinations
with names that you know
Passengers baggage
cases on wheels
dogs in their harnesses
and women in their heels
Staring at mobile screens
tapping away
checking connections
for the rest of the day
Speeding - no wait!
this stop wasn't planned
an announcement about something
I don't understand
Dam and blast!
now this just won't do!
...so pour me another
I'm getting sick of this view!
Those Who
Those who were dancing
were thought - totally insane
by those who could not
the sweet music; hear
Those making the music
were thought - a vertuoso
by those who could not
those instruments; play
The teachers; their motivation
were thought - most
inspirational
encouraging their students
those instruments; to learn
The parents who saw passion
were thought - so suportive
giving their children
the backing; required
The craftsmen who made
were thought - highly skilled
by those who made music
and their instruments; played
Those the music touched
were thought - exquisite
dancers
compelled to express
the music, most fine!
Yet
...those who were dancing
were thought - totally insane
by those who could not
this sweet music hear
Tweaked Scientific Formulas
You seem distant
unless you divide yourself with time
then you'll be speed!
You're time
Unless you divide yourself by the change in velocity
then you're accelerating!
You are a mass
unless you multiply yourself by acceleration
then - you are a force!
You're an energy!
unless you are divided by time
then you become a real power!
You are a mass
unless you multiply yourself with velocity
then you become momentum
This mass
when multiplied with gravity
makes you a weight
You're time
unless you multiply yourself by force
then you're a change in momentum
You are a mass
unless you divide yourself by volume
which makes you density
Remember - you matter!
unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light
then you're energy!
I'm force!
Unless I'm multiplied by distance
Then - I'm work done!
Take To Your Bed
Take to your bed
for winters cold dark days cometh
and with it
that jolly rogue "Jack Frost"
He'll set about his antics
bringing a chill
which taketh from us
the old and the frail
freezing their final breath before their very eyes
His playful
devil-may-care manner
will nip at your fingertips
yet leave beautiful "iced ferns"
to decorate your windows
he'll freeze your pipes
but colour white
the thatched roofs of the cities houses
take to your bed - wrap up warm
for "Jack Frost" slips in unbeknownst
under doorways
blows in through draughty windows
billowing curtains
darting hither-and-thither
confusing our minds
slowing us down
with fumbling fingers
and impaired judgement
reach for your warmest attire
but take to your bed
and so
with a hot beverage
don't let "Jack Frosts" mischief
...take you away
Quick!
Quick tidy up!
Some people are coming 'round to the house
and we don't want them to think
that we
are the people
...we actually are!
