Carribean Winter.

Carribean Winter

Its cold out here
but the trees are hot
in january the winters
ready
to freeze you
inside so
keep on stepping
dont stop for
out of the darkness
is the most shining light
i see them sparkling
all over the trees
outside the hackney
town hall
the central library
people hung them
for other people to see
people planted them
for trees and people
to breathe
free
bright lights shining
in love and peace


You dont take cards do you,
no,
lucky im not a card then


Hooray for reggie the cage is open
the parrot is free hooray
for reg
the king with the key

Spinning a coin
a seven sided
twenty pee
heads or tails
heads again sitting at the bar
a half of
a half
for free


I can see your belly
i can see your belly
and you dont care
cause your so happy
chewing with your beak
chewing everything with you beak
dangling upside down
on the keys
play and fight
bite
that aint a parrot
its a painted pidgeon


Wale diving
swallowed whole,
swimming through the mouth
to tail


In comes the basket
to the pub
cockles and mussels
door sale
a nice coat
noticed in the light
red stripes
long boat
past stories
of tubby
which would you like
pepper and vinegar
bit of lemon
mussels and cockles
please
it aint nought
at two pound fourty


Crack em down one side
along the shell
then roll them out
nice and easy
rainbow island
folk lore

The snow crab biggest of them all
has a seat on the wall
at Captain Jacks

Imagine if i was real
how good it could be
instead im nothing at all
just another dream
that cant begin
to make something
lost in the wool
im lot in the war
and there isnt even any one to fight
im just losing
because i dont understand
how or why
imagine if i was real
how good life would be
