Does the past come true because it was always destined to?
Or, do we make it come true
Because we always knew ?

Toasted Marshmallow
I Don't want to sound shallow,
but toasted marshmallow,
never served up a treat.
Instead of delight,
you just get a fright,
as it drips down onto your feet.
We live and we learn,
It's going to burn,
And it's too thick and too sweet!

Johonny Tinker
Meet Johnny Tinker
He's a ‘winker’
Who doesn't know any shame.
You're never quite sure
Who he winks for
And that is part of his game.
He'll beam you a smile
That will take you a while.
To realise he's not sincere
By then it's too late
He's sealed your fate
And let out a mini cheer

The Shove
STOP!!
I can't write, not tonight.
I've suffered suffered a "mental block"
There should be no mystery, it's caused by a history,
Of too many blows to the head.
So trash all the rhymes, in these terrible times.
It shouldn't come as a shock.
A hurricane
A pain
A fast running train, that's late.
But, wait!
What a fate, the Lark will be looking for us...
He'll be on the bus,
the one that took us,
to heavens gate!
At first he'll be curious, then he'll be furious, and Pixie will take the blame.
They'll cue up in pairs,
To be pushed down the stairs
Disputing the facts all of the way!
It wasn't a shove
Just ask the Dove he watched it, the whole of the day!

Snake Oil
The Curious Elf is sat on the shelf
pushing its famous 'Snake Oil'.
The Cancer Food Mage is cooking with Sage,
And wrapping it in tin foil.
Combining the two,
He'll cure you,
just as easy as pie.
It's really quite cheap,
So just take the leap
With a good swig for your pain.
No need to be told
'Low and behold'
The Elf is triumphant again.

Things to be grateful for…
Things to be grateful for...
"The sun"
It warms your soul,
not sure if that's its goal?
The smile on a happy face,
It defines the human race.
A tear balanced upon my cheek, feels like it’s been there for a week.
A flower fresh in bloom, it will wither far too soon.
Nothing ever lasts for long, thankfully not even this song.

Pam Ayres
The Naughty Pixie has eaten Pam Ayers!
Thinking she was made of chocolate eclairs.
But this simply isn’t true!
And there is every chance that she’ll sue!
He didn’t mean to cause offense, when he offered her 50 pence.
But her fury was plain to see,
Bow she’s is hiding in the money tree.

Raptor in the Garden
I am sorry
I beg your pardon?
Did you say there's a Velociraptor in your garden?
If there is then please take care
It's well known
They don't like to share.
They'll turn on you
with a moments notice,
Not just you, but me and Otis.
This could be our 'end of days'
Underneath his steely wicked gaze.
The raptors laugh and scurry along, exclaiming "this has been a curious song!"
And they're right because you see, they never liked living in our tree?

Tiny Tim
Open the box to see what’s in
I think you’ll find it’s Tiny Tim.
“God bless us,
One and all”
A lovely thought, from one so small.
Out of sight
And out of mind
Why should we have to be so kind?
To feel compassion and empathy
Is not for Pixie and his tree!
It’s meant for Tim, and Tim alone
So watch the Lark, sat on his throne.
A spiteful lunge he will make
And the crutch it will break.

Selfish
If I had wish
I wouldn’t use it
For the fear
That I would abuse it
I’d pretend to wish for others
Perhaps my brilliant and wonderful brothers
But truth be said
I’d wish for me instead
Selfish to the end,
It drives me round the bloody bend
I can’t be what I ought to be
And that’s because of the devil in me.
