There was a young drunk on the street

There was a young drunk on the street

Who had really smelly feet

They where that bad

Even the rats where glad

When he went to the shop for his treat

There was a young woman so fine

 

There was a young woman so fine

Who liked to drink bottles of wine

No matter the day

She'd do it anyway

And then she would want to drink mine

When I look into your eyes

 

When I look into your eyes

I feel the sadness and realise

You need someone simply like me

Who lives life totally for free

 

Yet when you get to know me too

You'll see my sadness that shines through

With no money on my side

I write and create with all my pride

 

To be someone that is lost

In a world more bitter than frost

As I stand and fight alone

Simply to protact my mobile phone

 

And all the dignitty that I hold

Even when I'm out in the cold

Hoping for something I cannot find

Or maybe it's because I am blind

 

As I throw it all away

With an addictive personality that's here to stay

Well this is me an artist you see

Who wants a life and someone who loves me

 

So when I'm lost as a civilian

In a world of total oblivian

I have someone who I can trust

Which is more important than having lust

 

Yet you are precious in everyway

And I long to see you everyday

Even though it's all my felt

I can't help the life I'm dealt

 

So please remember I love you so

Even though its cold you know

And always remember our very first kiss

For that is something I surely do miss

 

 

 

 

 



Living The Life Of A Poet

 

Living the life of a poet

And a sculptor too

Out on the open road

Can be very hard to do

 

Even though you have words

And your materials are free

It is really hard to survive

Especially down by the sea

 

With really heavy winds

The snow and the rain

Then there's those people

Who try to drive you in sane

 

By setting you on fire

Or beat you up as well

For they want what you got

In words that they can sell

 

Yet you got to survive

No matter the obstacles ahead

Even though you know

Your better of dead

 

Some will hit you with hammers

Or stab you in the heart

This is real street life

That happens after dark

 

Yet if you have no money

What are you going to do

Would you break the law

To survive would you

 

While trying to live the dream

So you can get of the street

To carry on your art

Which comes out so unique

 

Or would you lay down

And drink yourself to death

Or even take drugs

To your very last breath

 

Or would you simply squat

And hope for the best

Even though you got no money

Well this is life's real test

 



There was a good cue with chalk

 

There was a good cue with chalk

That liked to really talk

When along came his master

Oh what a disaster

And gaged him with his sock

There was a young man so kind

 

There was a young man so kind

He left his possessions behind

When along came a cat

At the drop of a hat

And robbed the poor man blind



There was a young man in a suite

 

There was a young man in a suite

Who really liked his fruit

So he went on the rob

And did a good job

Until he got caught with all the loot



Survival

 

When your feeling all the things

That no one understands

In a life that you live

Yet you've never planned

 

As the people walking past you

At the side of the road

As your writing in your sleeping bag

While living no fixed abode

 

Hoping for a proper meal

Instead of can in hand

Even though its real freezing

Upon this very land

 

With Christmas simply over now

Please have no fear

For everyone will help you out

After spreading Christmas cheer

 

Yet you have no benefits

And try to keep yourself clean

Even though many others

Want to treat you mean

 

With no Identification

Its even harder too

This is real life now

So don't think it won't happen to you

 

And if it really does

You'll find it really tough

For you will have to fight

To hold on to your stuff

 

For others will simply rob you

As they fight for survival too

Out on the streets

Where death can come for true

 

 



Im Feeling All The Magic

 

I'm feeling all the magic inside and didn't know what to do

So I sit and wrote this little rhyme simply for all of you

As my heart it skips a beat in a way it cannot be

While your smile took me by surprise way down by the sea

With a sparkle coming from your eyes that I'd never seen before

As I said you looked beautiful walking through that door

I simply could not understand it as my hesrt it skipped a beat

Even though i'm a talented bum sleeping out on the street

Doing what I have to do to hopefully live each day

To put smiles on many faces before I simply go grey

So please remember you are the one that simply wrote this out

For if I hadn't met you then this rhyme would never came about

 



Hear Me Drowning

 

Hear me drowning

In my sleep

As I lay here

And simply weep

 

Out in the cold

What would you do?

Feeling the weather

Going blue

 

Understanding it

Or maybe not

Here we go

I'm losing the plot

 

Way below freezing

Give me a drink

Or even a spliff

To make me think

 

For this is no good

No not at all

So please do remember

Please never fall

 

Into the darkness

Never to return

Or you'll simply die

Or simply burn
