I at time have been accused of having selective hearing and all I can say to that is pardon.

Selective Hearing

A command went out to me today

And I should have seen it coming

It seems my ears they just don’t work

Especially when I’m summoned

Now I always plead my innocence

No matter what my crime

But when we have an identity parade

The only face is mine

Now the cat is never mentioned

And my children get a pass

So I am in the frame again

Until my sentence is passed

But I think I might have an alibi

That I for once can use

My ears they seem so blocked up

They make me out a fool

But wait she has an answer

My defense has fell apart

(She says) Go and get your ears syringed

There’s jobs we need to start

What’s that I just can’t hear you

I only wish I could

I’m going to my shed now

I need to find some wood

Maybe you can tell me later

If you can find the time

For I’m a man with selective hearing

It’s the way that I’ve been designed.

The joys of this life are sometimes hidden from view
So ask to be shown what in this life is true

Linear Thinking

Like does this great sun
In the sky really set
And each time it rains
Does something get wet
Do waves on a shore
Know just where they are
And can anyone live
On that far away star
Then there’s the moon
When it’s out of sight
Is it because
It’s lost in the night
Or thinking of breathing
Can it truly be
The life-force of nature
That’s given to me
A million more questions
That I cannot claim
Will ever be answered
By my tiny brain
While stuck in linear thinking

I will have to stop watching Call The Midwife.

Mother and Son

She sat right there before him
With a look beyond compare
As she stared upon her new born
Whose skin it seemed so fair
Her eyes they did not wander
For she was so in trance
But who could tell his future
Or how their lives would dance
Right now it did not matter
For she was so in love
With this gift that came from heaven
This boy she called my dove
His father watched in envy
At love in true repose
Just where he’d fit in future
He really did not know
But joys they know no boundaries
And gifts are made to share
For right now they are a family
Who have not got a care

Thought to Ponder – There is no time like the present, because that’s all we’ve have got. Smile…
