Cuckoo cuckoo

Cuckoo cuckoo answering

Message to relay is

Spring has just started over

Ok Roger Spring not over over

That is correct over

Roger and over out

Cuckcoo cuckoo, cuckoo,

Cuckcoo over

Yes this is cuckoo what can I do for you over

Only through nature

What if this is the last sunset

you'll ever see?

What if this is death coming to you

Through a colour TV?

What if this nature were never around?

And what if these birds songs didn't surround?

What if you never had bird song at all?

What a world it would be and oh how cruel

Nothing to soothe the senses or to calm the nerves

Nothing but electronic sensors or a robot who serves

And a human is not a machine, not yet anyhow

He has not an AI frontal lobe or a switch to turn off now

He has not got a mother board or a chip for a brain

The brain is organic and it must live with the same

Only in nature can we find our reprieve

And only through nature is there life to believe

Only through listening can you hear your own voice

Which like the birdsong keeps singing for it hasn't a choice

First cuckoo of Spring

 No I'm the first cuckoo of Spring

Will the first cuckoo of Spring please stand up

Raise your  wing, or give a wink

Look it's me, I was the first

No shut up I got here yesterday

Yesterday! What are you talking about?

I came last Tuesday

 I was here two weeks ago

They had forecast sun

But it turned out snow

I called it first

Saw the first dandilion blow

Or was it a daffodil I remember?

No perhaps that was last November

You know I can't tell these days no more

Not with climate change knocking at the door

The heart inside of you

 I moved mountains, and I moved hills

I moved fountains and I moved river rills

I moved Eden and I moved Heaven too

But I just can't move the heart inside of you

Yes I don't need questions and I don't need answers

Well I don't need investors to buy up my life's chances

There is just one question so answer me true

Tell me how do I move the heart inside of you?

I've seen St Steven, and I've seen Adam

Drinking with Saint Peter inside Heaven's tavern

And I've seen Death who showed me how time flew

But still I can't move the heart inside of you

Yes I can move boulders up rocky canyons

And I can shrug my shoulders and I can outstand them

But there is one thing that I can't do

I cannot change the heart inside of you

The otherside

 Let me be on the side that's winning

Give me the key to the door

While daylight is thinning

And my words are like straws 

that break the camel's back

Oh take it from me

We are under attack

Soon there will be more of them on earth

The fighters and destroyers who would kill

The mother that to them gave birth

But it doesn't matter in the swishing of the tongues

That the fire is chiller on the otherside of the sun

Well up in the prospects they are burning for gold

While down in the projects all their dreams got sold

And I hardly expect you to remember my name

I only sat opposite you the otherside of the flame

Now don't get me wrong I would have liked to be you

But we can't be another, so it's best just to shew you

Tell you to go back to from whence you came

Because you can't be my brother when you're

On the otherside of the flame

Sometimes it is blowing a cold chill out there

Sometimes I am knowing that I could kill with a stare

But I put my eyes back in my pockets and pull from their sockets

A new pair

Because I need new eyes to see with on the otherside of nowhere 

And to see you on the otherside of the flame

Easy come and easy go

 I was off the map, and driving up the wall

The Atlas was upside down

Satnav had stalled

And I said well I know

It's easy come, and easy go

I booked a plane to Japan

But when Covid came, I made another plan

But it's all the same and I know

It's easy come and easy go

I thought I'd settle for some sand

So got a visa for an Arabian land

But down the drain went all my plans

When Covid came I made my stand

I will not move from this spot

No not if soldiers force me at gun point

And I'll argue with the Policeman

Who tell's me I'm an illegal immigrant

I wish for peace, I wish for quiet

Away from scenes of a public riot

tired of being blamed for what is not

In the remit of a game of join up the dots

So I go to the parliamentary hall

And claim my right to speak for us all

Declaim the heroes of the past

Dethrone the pearly kings, nail my colours to the mast

I'm an American I want my green card

But they stopped me in Luton, said I could not pass

And yet this quarantine will end I know

It's easy come and easy go

And the last they heard, I was off again

Driving through the channel tunnel on a train

But the French authorities cried Non Monsieur!

And turned me back from behind their door

Do not offend the European Union

With your separatist ideas, and herd immunity

I thought I saw it spelled the Holy Communion

But I was mistaken when I saw the lack of humanity

Yet in the end I guess I know

It's easy come and easy go

Some say I'm better off on a desert island,

But who needs that stuff when you have a lock down environment

Bring us back to the victorious land

When the man in the street was the man in government

But my memory is foggy from the history books I read

stolen from the bonfire of vanities they said

And so I stepped inside the mirror of my insanities

And searched my reflection in the eyes of my enemies

And all I saw was what I already know

That it is easy come and easy to go

Witch's Brew

Ingredients:

Milk of cow

Tea leaves of China

Bagged by peasants

In Asia Minor

Shipped by freight

Over treacherous seas

To end up on shelves of Sainsbury's

Recipe:

Boil liquid -Adam's ale

Until Bubbling cauldron

Hot like devil's tail

Listen to whistle as vapours escape

Take off the boil let it cool and wait

Drop 1 bag of Asiatic leaf

Into a goblet of made of gold or dragon's teeth

Pour the amalgam upon the bag

Let the flavour suffuse

Til taste suits an that of an old hag

Add a drop of milk from cow

If you be an English Witch anyhow

Otherwise thou must milk an almond,

or squeeze an oat, or steal it from a nanny goat

Some may choose to opt for Soya

But the brew may make you scream like Goya

Next

Take the bag and strain with spoon

(must be done on a full moon)

Drink it down and thank Typhoo

Tetley, Yorkshire or Twining’s too

But be sure to enjoy with a familiar moggy

Unless you'd rather a long-legged froggy
