Sketches of Stripy or Stripey Socks.

I'm quite the fan of  stripy socks

and a big fan of Crocs

Best described by my friend Andy as "Comfortable motherfuckers!"

 the sketches were completed over three days and painted on canvas using acrylic paints and acrylic markers.

 

Random.

 Random poems.

To be an Early Bird 

They say

"the early bird gets the worm!"

this I admit 

I can confirm

with feathers and a paper beak

to the darkened garden tree's I sneak

nestled high we wait

we seek

till at last the dawn we peek

flapping to the soggy ground

well in fact I'd fallen down

I got the worm

it wasn't tasty

I think my wish to be the early bird

was presumptuous and hasty

they are nutritious that's a fact

but the worm keeps coming back...... 

For Elvin.

Out of alignment. 

My stars are out of alignment

my world is slipping its poles

I can't get my legs in my trousers

they seem to missing some holes

the whole of gravity is shifting

and time has run out of the clock

why have I got too many left feet 

and only one right sock? 

Media Monkeys 

The media monkeys are flinging poo

and some of it's gonna land on you

your not the target as they think they can't miss

but in reality they are taking the piss

they don't give a monkeys they don't give a toss

and all the money just goes to the "Boss"

so read if you must but look to the lines

Journalists can be treacherous swines 

so there!

 Don't fuck with Poets! 

Are you aware

do you already know it

about the dangers of being a poet.

 Loving cup

Here in this cup, this cup I call plenty,
I offer, I share until it is empty,
please! It comes with no notion,
no intent, but honest emotion
Please share a cup with me.

Proper gate.

Born a mongrel of two nations

and having been bitten by them both

I as a young man swore to myself an oath

forever would I sit here, high upon my fence

until you stupid people would start to see some sense

there's no difference between you except your mother tongue

and even the air you share is natures only lung

so quit your petty squabbles and put aside your hate

as my fence is old and it needs a proper gate... 

Oh! Caerphilly.

My home town, its aright mun innit, see!

It has a very well kept Castle that is worth a visit!

And a Cheese that is both crumbly and creamy!

Oh! Caerphilly.

Profanity rolls from my tongue 

blatant truths that I have sung

out of all of the things 

I could have done

but then again 

I'm from Caerphilly..mun!

"Don't be silly shop in Caerphilly 

Its not funny it'll save you money 

Come on over the choice is yours 

Its all in Caerphilly Stores!" 

(Radio advert, Red dragon?)

Random poems from waking early...5am

Fuck jar sauce!

Struck with fear
quaking in my boots
"Oh my god am I an artist
can I really paint!"
I carefully set my brush aside
I think I'm gonna faint
quaking in my boots
struck with fear
I've come over all queer!
"Oh wait I dont give a fuck what you think!"
I said while painting like Dali but in pink.

Elf

It's like Christmas
and I'm up high upon a shelf
I'm stuck inside feeling sorry for my self
I'm dressed in green
and guilt for all to see
what's to become of me

Obvious.

It was obvious that my life was catty wampus 

as I slowly realised I was being pompus

It was obvious to see for everyone but me

that my life was obviously catty wampus.

Bit later.

I can be very grumpy

and easily un-amused 

"keep that big fat gob shut"

unless you wanna be abused

so If you like shin kicking

and being patted 

violently like a pet

pop round 

have some tea

I haven't started yet!
