Pigs brew
I woke up one morning
and searched for a cure
from the pain in my head
from the long night before
I'd been to the pub
and as you might have guessed
I'd been served a strange brew
at the landlords request
As I searched in the cupboards
and got out some eggs
a pig came up to me
and asked how's your head
although I was startled
and thought this is strange
he asked me again
and brought in some friends
I looked out the window
and there was a sight
the pigs were arriving
by foot and by flight
I thought this is crazy
I must get a pill
and have a word with landlord
at the Pig On The Hill.

Prayer.
The pen is mightier than the sword
you've heard it say
but stronger still than both the word
of those who pray
for who has written to their God
and had reply
yet every lowly begger knows his
his prayers arrive
Catastrophic tragedies
may come your way
battling the sorrows
of the day to day
but comfort only reaches those
who sit and pray
no pen or sword consoles the needy
in this way
The truth like nose upon your face
is plain to see
that writing is a craft of mortals
we agree
and brandishing a sword
is strictly for the dumb
but prayer to your God
will always overcome.

Pretend
Girl my heart to you's an open book
if you say you love me take a look
there's no need to wonder why
this heart is open wide
if you don't love me then
for my sake please
pretend
I will cherish you forevermore
you to me are heaven's open door
see the tears upon my face
are only there in case
of joy or emptiness
for my sake please
pretend
Girl there's one thing that I'm certain of
this feeling deep inside just cant be wrong
tell me that you feel it too
please say your love is true
and I'm more than a friend
if not then please
pretend.

Rubbish
I read a book of questions
no answers were included
I also read a book about
what hasn't been but should've
and once I read a volume
on things that wouldn't be
and then I read another
on things I couldn't see
they say that in a lifetime
you read ten years of rubbish
I would just like to inform you
here's ten seconds of what that is.
Hope this cheers you up, Charlie.
