I am not too happy
Not happy at all
My phone does a lot of things
But how do I make a call?
It wakes me up in the morning
Brings my breakfast to bed
Teleports me to Phillipines
And even farther ahead
It cheers up my mood
Whenever I am sad
Understands everything I want
Though they may be unsaid
But I am not too happy
Not happy at all
The things these new phones do
But how do I make a call?
I would like my old phone back
Old just like me
It never sent me to Phillipines
When I asked for Bali

My Phone And I #2
My wife and kids are not too pleased
I spend too much time on my phone
They say I should get some exercise
I ask them to leave me alone
…
Sophie thinks I don’t hold her anymore
I only hold my phone
If I don’t change my ways
In the streets she’ll have me thrown
She thinks whenever we go out
I talk more to my phone
I correct her on that point
I do the same at home
…
The kids are more threatening
They plan to steal my phone
Hide it in some corner
I shall forever be unknown
I have my own plans so
They never mess with my phone
If they’ll ever steal it
In the streets I’ll have them thrown
…
My wife and kids are not too pleased
I spend too much time on my phone
They say I should get some exercise
In the streets I have them thrown
My Phone and I
Mom and dad are not too pleased
I’m spending too much time with my phone
They asked me to get some exercise
I told them to leave me alone
…
Mom thinks I should do my homework
My grades are crashing down
If I don’t make it through school
I’ll end up as a circus clown
Mom also thinks she’s very funny
That I’ve inherited that bone
But I do not agree with that
Neither does my phone
…
Dad says that I’m a bum
I barely move a muscle
I’m too lazy to argue that
I could beat him in a tussle
He really shouldn’t criticize
What he cannot understand
He would never realize
My phone is my only friend
…
Mom and dad are not too pleased
I’m spending too much time with my phone
They asked me to get some exercise
So I untangle my earphones
Then You Came Along
I was lonely. I was sad
I had lost everything that I ever had
I had nothing but time
No family, house, car or dime
Then you came along
Everything turned so wrong
I forgot that I was ever sad
You made me happy. You made me glad
Like you were an evil witch
You turned my fortunes. Made me rich
Now I just don’t understand
What to do with the cash in hand
Why don’t you just go away?
There’s so much tax that I have to pay
Give me back my time and space
I don’t want to see your face
Is this some devious plot of yours?
To gift me a healthy Swedish horse
All this wealth – this isn’t me
I want to go back to writing poetry
If I Was To Die Tomorrow
If I was to die tomorrow
The world will be filled with sorrow
All the young girls
With golden hair and curls
Will cry their hearts away
…
If I was to die tomorrow
Cry your hearts out in sorrow
Sing my praises and songs
Say that I did no wrongs
A hero has gone away
…
But if tomorrow comes late
And I’m still standing straight
Far from being dead
You still go ahead
Sing my praises anyway
If I Was To Die Today
If I was to die today
You’d have so much to say
Say that I was a good man
The greatest son of the land
But now he’s gone away
If I was to die today
…
If I was to die tomorrow
Drown yourself in sorrow
Sob and cry and drop your tears
Remember me for a trillion years
After I’m buried below
If I was to die tomorrow
…
If I was to die yesterday
There would be no time to play
Just take my time machine
The one you’ve never seen
Bring me back to stay
If I was to die yesterday
The Light That Shines In Me
When I’m lying in my bed
With a thousand thoughts in my head
Amongst the chaotic crowd
Only one thought stands out loud
The thought of you is stuck to me
When you’re not close to me
It’s a shame we have to be away
A moment seems so long today
You are the light that shines in me
The beat that my heart beats
The love that fills my empty soul
The love that makes me complete
Everything else seems so forlorn
I can’t seem to remember anyone, anything, anymore except you
…
Give me what I need now
I need to have you somehow
The cracks are there to let you in
This is the end where I begin
My story yearns for an happy ending
When stars are dead and sun’s ascending
Never to die or lose the way
A moment seems so long today
You are the light that shines in me
The beat that my heart beats
The love that has me in control
The love that makes me complete
You’ve got me feeling reborn
I can’t seem to remember anyone, anything, anymore except you
…
Lift me up to the sky
From this place where I do lie
Drop me down without a clue
And I’ll land right in the arms of you
For you guard my heart
Never let it fall apart
And I have no more words to say
A moment seems so long today
You are the light that shines in me
The beat that my heart beats
The love that fills my empty soul
The love that makes me complete
Everything else seems so forlorn
I can’t seem to remember anyone, anything, anymore except you
Life Of A Poet – Part 4
Losers weepers, finders keepers
Never say die. Let sleeping dogs lie
Live and learn. Walk before you run
Look before you leap. As you sow, you reap
Where there’s a will there’s a way
The mice play when the cat’s away
Grasp all, lose all
Pride comes before a fall
Curiosity killed the cat. Laugh loud and grow fat
Blind leads another blind. Seek and you shall find
Be clear if you know it
Confuse if you’re a poet
Strangers Like Before
We planned and we planned till we reached the end only to understand that what we had planned was not in our hands
Now we don’t plan anymore
We laughed and we laughed and it seemed enough but we knew in our hearts that it would be tough and destiny caught our bluff
Now we don’t laugh anymore
We played and we disobeyed like our love will never fade but we were afraid to be betrayed by a price too big to be paid
So we don’t play anymore
We talked and walked. We screamed and dreamed. We fought and sought. We had all the fun under the sun
Now we’re strangers like before
