Kill the Wabbit*

The first grey hair - it means nothing
Until it is joined by a companion or two
Suddenly, rabbit-like, they're multiplying
And there's nothing that you can do

Cold Comfort

There is solace in comfort eating
but a short sighted comfort it'll prove
When you've consoled yourself
until you're as big as a whale
and completely unable to move

In the Eye of the Beholder

I cut off my nose to spite my face
Now my glasses are falling off

The Morning After

Last night I had my uses
Now you make your excuses

mote-re-moat

the one in my eye
hides the log in your eye
encircles the enclave
where you hide

RIP

I heard your groan and your sigh
Watched your paroxysm of pain
I didn't think that you'd die
Didn't recognise that this was the end
All those times that we had together
Those fleeting moments
Those highs and those lows
This is one partnership sadly now over
Oh washing machine I'll miss you so

The Break Up

I know you're not coming to see me
Though replying simply 'no' would have sufficed

Ignoring me for a month was pure overkill
The poisoned chocolates? simply not nice

Returning my letters was nasty
with that voodoo doll dipped in red paint

Why didn't you just say you disliked me?
I can always just take a hint

appliance of science

You don't even know that I'm angry
Can't figure out that I'm scared
Emotions are completely beyond you
They're not some formula you've already prepared
