My eyes awake to a cloudless day ,weather man says rain's on the way
The day's gonna be a good day,I dont care what they say
I refuse to let the day ,start with a frown
Damn there goes the bread,landing butter down!!
I get into the car,not long out of bed
Thinking greenlight,greenlight ,Oh no now it's red !!
Now I just noticed the lights were left on
All of the night now the batteries gone !!
I rush and I rush and run down the street
And miss the damn bus I had hoped to meet
Calm down and be positive I will get the next bus
Got no money,all in the car left in all of the fuss !!
Not to worry I will just go back home
Just to see float past me was my garden gnome
I remembered the bath ,the warm one I.d run
Forgot left the tap on ,now look what I've done !!
When I turn on the T.V. the adverts are on
Well that's not a problem the electrics just gone
Ring,Ring !! your works had a gas explosion and blew it all to bits
With positive thinking ,I'd have been there!!, and that would have got right on my tits !!
( a little bit of negative can bring a little bit of positive)

In the greater scheme of things
A phrase I like to hear
It,s a politicians lot to make
It all sound so clear
As clear as mud for the greater good
I could,nt possibly comment
Oh! it,s work in progress
To throw them off the scent
All the mmmm,s and aaaaah,s
Give me more time to think
Of a more plausable answer
Act cool ,take a drink
Ooop,s my back,s on the ropes
I dont do individual cases
A plus for equal rights
Scores a vote from all the races
Could,nt live with my constituents
They never heard of a carafe
Now moved up to scotland
Away from that riff raff ...[riff raff = rubbish]
Freezer full of steak
The future cant be thwarted
I,m pensioned to the hilt
SO ,,, vote me out I,m sorted !!......................... by me Haley

The world is dying from the inside out
Your hearing not listening at the whole world shout
The financial machine,marches on,no compassion
No affection for a planet ,money in any fashion
Destroying our hopes,bring forth our fears
Look to the real world,do you not see the tears
Show me a light ,a new understanding
Or is caring to costly or just to demanding
Your miles out of touch since your silverspoon birth
Your closer to mars than us here on earth
What,ve we gained from your life in high rank
When all your morals stop at the doors of the bank
The cries for help ,the plates getting leane
Destroying green fields to feed the machine
Children starving in a nuke armed nation
They,le push the button out of frustration
Walls knocked down to join the divided
Solidarity in shipyards making freedom provided
Can you not learn from the blood and the fighting
It,s all on the wall,just look at the writing !!..............by me Haley

My eyes got opened in fifty six
Dirty grey salford,not nice green stix
Still here I am with not much choice
At least a year fore finding my voice
Starting to hurt now,crying so much
Eye,s are all sticky,legs sore to touch
Does nobody care I,m kept in a drawer
I know its the wee making me raw
Must "have"a mum,who was that man?
Looks like she,s gone ,this must be gran
It,s painful,I,m crying,n, nobody cares
Daylight is short in the room up the stairs
Who is this?? where am I going ?
To heaven ! it,s affection they,re showing
It,s so bright here,covers dry and soft
I,m feeling better see,ing colours aloft
Very peacefull here in my very own cot
But just one thing I still have,nt got
Oh! these two are nice,happy as well
Not sure where we,re goin,I,ll give a small yell
Your coming with us a new mum and dad
I dont hurt any more, I,m no longer sad
To have this much love I could,nt moan
Did they all feel like this ???
Did they all find a home ???? By me haley
