Wish and aim for an easy life
One without struggle or any strife
Honour and glory are sought in vain
Drop no sweat and feel no pain
Laze around and keep no plan
Procastinate the best you can
Flex no muscle, don’t strain your voice
Being born was not your choice
Keep all work for tomorrow
Close your heart to all sorrow
Close your heart to love too
Very little can now break you
Life is fickle and time is short
To Death we are a mere sport
Nothing lasts so don’t pretend
Everyone must die in the end

Which Bus?
This bus takes me to my school and
That one takes me home but
Which bus takes me to my mother?
I don’t know I don’t know
This bus takes me to Woodgrange Avenue
That bus takes me to work but
Which bus takes me to my mother?
I don’t know I don’t know
Here’s one bus that is big and red
Which drops me near a lake
Here’s another bigger and redder
Which I am too afraid to take
Can buses fly? Do they have wings?
It would be lovely if it were so
Which bus takes me to my mother?
I don’t know I don’t know
I can pick a bus randomly
And go wherever it may go but
Will it take me to my mother?
I don’t know I don’t know
Maybe a bus is not the best option
A horse-carriage? Or a yacht?
Will they take me to my mother
Maybe or maybe not
What You Mean To Me
I guess I’ve never told
You what you mean to me
How grand a place you hold
In life’s moments to be
My lips fail me every
Time that I try to speak
My heart falls in a reverie
Showing from cheek to cheek
I’m glad I’ve always showed you
Instead just what you mean
My love has always flowed through
In acts of stream serene
For man is yet to find a better
Method of conveying love
Far better than a penned letter
Is a gesture of true love
If I Could Paint True Love
If I could paint true love
I would use your colours
Dip my brush in your skin
Create a tender scene
