Some events...

Another bloody poem. They just keep popping into my head. It's all a bit annoying really. Still, I have no choice but to write it down.















Some events 

Tuppence he said as he passed me the firework.

My smile made it money well spent.

I went down to the gasworks.

Bang it went.

My ears pounding, resounding,
the thrill of it confounding

as the bang went cold

leaving me wondering

why a two penny bang

should leave me so astounded.

Eight pence he said as passed me the beer.

First taste made it money well spent.

We three at the Bells.

Glug, glug it went.

Taste buds floundering, first encountering,
blurring my surrounding

as the beer went down

leaving me wondering

why a half of bitter

should leave me so astounded.


No charge she said as she kissed me.

Her softness would be money well spent.

First time for everything.

That’s how it went.

Passion mounting, so embarrassing,
my senses cherishing 

as our tongues met

leaving me wondering

why the kiss of this girl

should leave me so astounded.


Tuppence was spent on those open eyes.

My tears made it money hard spent.

I went out to the garden.

Crack my heart went.

My tears mounting, faith doubting,
this sad grey day outing

as the world went cold

leaving me wondering

why a death so expected

should leave me so astounded.


Some know the cost of everything,

monies spent or occasionally lent.

Some know the value of nothing.

All they do is pay you rat rent.

Never giving,
never living,

keeping it close, everyone rejected,

leaving me wondering

why wealth so infected

would even be collected.
