Just a Shadow

He’s just a shadow, just a shade
Basking in the afterglow
Caught between the light and oblivion
He’s got no place left to go

Promises that once were made
Cast in solid gold, they said
Promises now disappeared
Just dust upon the wind, long dead.

He’s drowning in the fumes of fame
Clinging to what might have been
Slowly slipping out of sight
Scared that he was never seen

He’s just a shadow, just a shade
Fading in the afterglow
Heading from the light to oblivion
There’s only one place he can go.

A short ode to dickheads!

The Incredible Penis Extension

There’s a ‘special’ set of people that inhabit my town
that make the rest of us wince and quite often frown.
They are very superficial and lacking in thought,
but they’re rolling in money, flaunting toys they have bought.

They take many forms and if you look you will see
that the fellow in front is saying ‘Hey, look at me’,
as he flaunts without shame and captures attention
with his new and improved shiny penis extension.

He doesn’t care what you think, he reckons he’s cool
but most people around think that he is a fool,
except those in the crowd who admire his persistence
and themselves are in need of some penile assistance.
