God's Gift

 He thought he was 

God's gift to women

And Macho man number one

He thought he was

The best thing since sliced bread

Best thing under the sun


He thought he was God's gift to women

And a real walking demigod

But well you know while he was talking

All I thought was what a sod


I thought flippin' heck he's joking

He must be like King Midas on Speed

Every thing he touches

Turns to Gold and that's just greed

I thought you shall not worship false idols

And this Pop star is a weed

He keeps growing in all the flowers

And showering them in his seed


Well God's gift to women

Macho hombera uno numbero one

Your ego's writing cheques so inhuman

You must be off the cast of Top gun


He's got a body of an Adonis

Like a statue of the Greeks 

He's so phoney when he phones us

It's like a plastic doll who speaks


He's making mince meat of ponies

And he's talking pie in the sky to bits

He's keeping mum and she loves his bum

And his auntie thinks he's fit


Oh he's God's gift to women alright

He's God's idea of a joke

He's a spanner in the works

And a stick in the spokes

He's turned the applecart over tonight

And there's a burning chariot wheel

And Achilles has twisted his heel


Oedipus Rex with his mother complex

Told him he would not stand up in court

But King Midas wrote cheques

And his gold finger flexed

And he ended up getting more than he thought


He's a disaster on two feet

He means to cause you harm

Don't listen to his Cheat sheet

Don't fall for his charm

He'll get you undercover

Then like a fire raise an alarm

And like James Bond he kills his lovers

While his mother inherits the farm


He's got too many arms

Like an octopus

and a finger in every pie

I wish he would go but he's opted with us

Rather than the spirit in the sky

I'm in the soup with you

 Farewell to Stroganoff

Hello Minestrone

Goodbye Tomato and Basil

Hiya Carrot and Coriander

Oh you soups

you soups

Vegetable and fruit too

Come dance in the balustrade

I'm in the soup ballet with you


Wrap your lovely slop all around

My bones

I want to feel you inside me

Like a warm wet tone

Ringing in the darkness

Yes you can ring my bell

Hello Minestrone

Stroganoff you can bog off

Tomato and basil go to hell

Peter Gint

 Peirre Gint

My life

In a glint

Doldrums of silence

In the Norwegian slumps

Slumming it it,

Bumming it in the swamps

Hope of a hump back whale

Who jumps

And splashes down


Ah he is stubborn in his soul

This man

But the sensitive love of nature

And righteousness

Is triumphant


After all his wanderings

He returns

But feels

Or thinks he feels

Will she still be there?


Is there a hope

She might still love him?


Life after death

Mum and dad

 In terms of aspiration and job choice

A person really has little choice:

Either they do what their father wants of them or what their mother wants

It is not always true, but common

That the daughter follows instinctly the father's wishes - 

A higher social class,

marry well, get the grand children into a better school

The right sort


Or the son does what the mother wants or would like

be less ambitious 

Be a family man

Be happy

Spend time with the kids


The daughter will marry a rich

but fairly stupid man of the right class

Whom she can control

And the son will marry of a similar class

But a social climber

a wife who is his intellectual superior

So that ultimately she makes the decisions

Like his mother did for him

warthog gel

 thwart that wart with new warthog gel

Jesus, was never mothballed

 A moth flew into the bath

It buzzed and it fuzzed and it made me

Laugh

except it began doing backstroke between my legs

And so I lifted it up in my palm

Like god's avenging hand

And served justice

to the dying man

But it

Always reached towards the light

And that is why I saved it

So it could

Continue its flight
