Today
Today
My alarm clock failed to ring
Today
Yoo-Hoo, The clock did not sing
Today
The trains made me get to work late
I was left staring at their shut gates
Today
I found myself exceedingly alone
Shivering in the flat cold to the bone
Today
My lover called and I got ditched
I really thought we’re going to get hitched
Today
I stank dreadfully; I did not have a shower

The Strange Widow
She was a strange little old widow
out on a lone Meadow
Running her old farmhouse
inhabited by cats and mouse
as bed and breakfast
She was a lone outcast
In a little town that grew up so fast
Gone were the days
When she was an active spokeswoman
Wearing her unusual fashioned glasses
And attacking the masses
With her lyrical words of wisdom
Airing out political views
To elongated queues
Eager to hear her speak
As her words were deemed to be so slick
'Smile for me, '

Yes I Am Fat
Yes I am fat
Yes I am fat
And I love my hats
Sometimes I wish my hair was wrapped in a plat
I got two Siamese cats and I always dress smart
But let me put this right from the start
Yes I am fat
But O! No, I am not a tart
This is a message for all you love rats
I may crave once in a while for brown chocolat
But I do I have appreciation for the finer art
Sometimes I let out a big fat fart
Sometimes I have a full shopping cart
Yes I am fat
But O! No, I am not a tart
I have a big bum - I got curve infinity
I have big breasts - I got breast immunity
Though my bum is round and never flat

I love my hair
I love my hair
I always toss it around in the air
As if without a care!
I love my hair
Once I caught the super hair bug
Caught it whilst I slept on an old rug
The super lice were playing scratch, scratch, and scratch
While my fingernails were playing catch, catch and catch
Finally my hair was shaven as there was no cure, no other drug
I wore my head on my shoulder for a while with a distasteful shrug
Hiding underneath a cap with obvious bald patches that seemed to match
I love my hair
Long, golden plaited and brown
Enough to move heads around in town
People just want to come near
And stare! Stare at me! Who is that alien from elsewhere?
My hair is beautifully plaited in strands

You are my ‘Perfect Mismatch’
Yesterday I was arriving in your heart to stay
But today I am driving far, far away
Once again I can breathe clean fresh air
At ease, I dance, let loose my hair without despair
I thought I show you love with awesome care
But to myself I was never playing fair and square
I've spent my life looking for the perfect match
But it’s been seven years of patch, patch and patch
Now! I don’t care if I have to start from scratch
O! Dear, you dear are my perfect mismatch!
How could I choose you from multiple batches?
O! Dear, you dear are my perfect mismatch!
Yesterday I let my down my guide
But today, I will not drown, I will not hide
Once I thought you loved me for being me
There were times, I cried, hoping again to be free
I hope you can relate and understand
I only refer to a brand of boring husbands

Bubbles of Love
This poem was inspired while watching the MTV reality show A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila. take it or leave it, you can interprete it the way you want.
Miss Tequila I wish to confess
There is something odd I wish to express
One day I had one shot too many for a penny
As my eyes opened up to 'Bubbles of love'
Bubbles of love
Bubbles of love
This awesome beauty that you possess
Your tanned skin calls for a touch of caress
Bubbles of love
Bubbles of love
Your succulent lips demand a kiss of finesse
And lets not forget the sexy curves you possess
Bubbles of Love
Bubbles of Love
I will fight with words not fists and head butts

World Cup 2006
Zidane, Zidane
Is still the man!
Thierry Henry,
Hurry, Hurry
Roberto, Ronaldo, Ronaldino
Seemed to have forgotten the lingo
In the beginning they all said Brazil
Whilst they played their first game
Most played with piddling zeal
Predictions made only upon their name
The host country Germany
Displayed a talent of many
Their expressive style, worth every penny
They played with a lot of wit
And their strikers’ chest stuck out fit
Let me not be cynical

He was a one night stand
I hoped he would understand
Afterall he was a grown up male
Used to frequently dishing out this same tale
There he stood out at the club
As I sat listening to a rock band
My legs were weak
My pants were wetting up like a freak
my heart was pounding
Tick, Tock, tick
my nipples were standing still
waiting for strong hands to feel them
and touch them until they stood erect
They strongly needed that effect
He was a one nightstand
but also arrogantly a snob
Somehow I managed to wave my wagic wand
In a land of music as he followed me
to my hotel hub

Mama Africa
Mama Africa
Somalia, Nigeria, Ghana, Saudi Arabia
Mama Africa
Senegal, Zimbabwe, Tunisia, South Africa
The land of enormous mineral wealth
I salute thee; I adore thee even in poor health
So many countries I have not yet spelt
Have people ready and steady to flee before they melt
Mama Africa
You walk with a suicidal long rope
As your people lose all hope
Rather than cooking up a brand of prosperity
You the land of recognized poverty
Have mistakenly invented a brand of austerity
The masses are slowly dying
While only a few are high-flying
Mama Africa

I Fancy You
I fancy you
I fancy you
And that for sure
I know is true
When I see you on the field
I am mesmerised
by your physical build
When you call my name
with your soft voice
My heart flutters
and I wonder
if you feel the same
I send this to you in an email
If my declaration for you fails
I promise I will not wail
But please dont go round the team
making jest of this tale
