I Need a New Computer......

I need a new computer -
Cos this one got old.

The case is all battered
And faded to grey.
The hard drive's overloaded;
The memory's slow.
The mother board is struggling;
The graphics card's tired.
The speakers are dying
And it doesn't swtich off.

I need a new computer -
I need a new head.

The Epitaph

The Epitaph

"She was strong and she coped"
They put it on her gravestone.
The dead never lie, so it must be true.


But.... she..... was:

Kicking, screaming
Out of control;
Alice down the rabbit hole.
Tumbling, twirling,
Life unfurling
Clutching and grabbing
As she went.


Like...shadows...they...passed
Over her head
Unseeing, unthinking, unaware

They put it on her gravestone.
"(Right till she hit the bottom),
She was strong and she coped".
The dead never lie, so it must be true.

Sonnet 18 Revamped

Sonnet 18 Revamped

Shall I compare me to a bland sort of mediocre day?
A nothing, a not very important in the scheme of things. A nobody?
Never lovely, but monotonously, tediously, temperate.
Harsh winds do batter, snatch and pull.
Short summer's lease gone way too long ago.
I can stand unseen in the heat of the sun,
Merge into the mufflling dark of the clouds.
What was never fair or attractive cannot decline,
It fades without fanfare into deeper nothingness.
My brief dank summer faded long ago
None shall remember my heaviness of heart
Only the shadow of death shall cover and possess it.
No eternity for me when I am gone.
So long as men can breathe or men can see
My life shall remain ever hidden in mediocrity.
