Mid-Summer Writing

by Alan Ewing

Lost Star

So another new PM (Prime Minister)

What about about AM (anti-Minister)

All to do with BREXIT

A much lamented exit

We miss our European friends

Always ours till the end

Always preferred straight bananas

As I ate them in my pyjamas

Just a love of European culture

Because USA has become a vulture

No longer our friend done insane

As she betrays Ukraine

So let's have another glass of wine

And get rid of Farage's whine

Put division to bed

Let it be dead

So, another European Red

Better than BREXIT beer dread

Oh what a huge mistake

Let's have another take!

 

An Ode to Marilyn Monroe

100 years my dear
Star still so bright
Number 1 blonde
No fear
Of any other one

Your comedic ways
Oh for the age
A true woman
A feminine sage
Just Number 1

Always my gerl
In your humour
Always alone
Could never atone
For husbands

Oh my Marilyn
My lonely girl
I would give you
The world
To come live
With me

Marilyn World
All that it gave
Truly I knew
Your Love
As an old sage
I truly gave
All you meant to me

Division In The UK, 

a lyric blog by Alan Ewing

Division In The UK

Oh my Lord

Can it be?

Such hatred

On the streets

As we see

A nation divided

Some try to

Hide it

When it is

Plain to see

Exploitative evil

Channels minds

Into violence

Carnage, hatred

Lowest denominator

Channel the sword

Take on armour

Needs as must

Challenge this way

Of a nightmare

Give us daily love

As we see minds

Fooled into discontent

Help us not to hold

Our minds for rent

 Kitchen Sink

 by Alan Ewing

It was said

Everything bar the kitchen sink

I don't want it

Because it is blocked up

 Has been said
Don't forget the hoover
I will
It does not pick up anymore

So is said
Remember the ironing board
I shall
It is too full of steam

Has been said
Remember your books
I might
They've all been read

As for myself
I may just forget it all
As I await
The page to turn

Dear Marilyn ...

Dear Marilyn,
I forgot to say
Adoration
All astray

Caught in celebrity
Oh what a day
When I forget
To say

I love you, I love you
Now it's been said
Some things forgotten
Through the day
Though never your way

Through it all
I always call you hun
Feel your caresses
When day is done

Dear Marilyn,
All my dreams true
When I adore you
In eternity
