Happy New Year To My Grandad.....

 Its really difficult to write 
To write about someone you never ever knew
I am still seeing you there in that photo
Of course in black and white
Your eyes are blue I can tell that
All I have ever heard about you
Is that you fought in the War
Was brought back with injuries
Injuries to your lungs
Very badly scarred from the gas
Never able to work again
Apart from there being no pension
No pension it seems for one
Who ended up giving into that dreadful illness
No money for a funeral
Need I have to say anymore?
Amy had to work from dawn till dusk
It also made her very worn out
No proper food right up until in the ´50´s
I cannot wonder how it all must have been
But you were one of the soldiers
One of the soldiers that never got seen
However I am just seeing that photo again
You were one of the millions best ever been.

This Grinch Is Not A Synch........

 There he is again
The Grinch himself to pinch
To pinch all the joy 
All the joy he can out of everyone
He thrives when people are sad an down
Watch out he is there an about
Clinging to those who are nice an happy
Those who have no feeling of lack
He is waitin for the moment
For all the Christmas lights to go pop
Its his work you see
Trying to affect you an me
Where it is all dark an grey
He The Grinch is on his way
To stoke up those sad an down feelings
So just say to him BOO its Christmas
To scare him off
An we can all have a good laugh
At least an albeit one moment of the day.

Remembering My Gran.....Not Sayin Any More Than That......

 She was not a woman of her time
Always ahead in a lot of things
I might not have agreed with all that
With a mind sharper than most would think
Living in a very difficult area
Where the fog prevailed in winter
It had other kinds of problems too
Like other people following my sister home
In the very dark of the night
There was scarcely any light
Me being very small
Was in my Grandmother´s house
Being quite used to other people 
Following my sister home
She would quickly open the door
The front door with all the swirling thick fog
Entering in like thick smoke
Behind my poor sister would very often come
Some unknown stranger and stand right 
Right on the front doorstep
Saying I am her boyfriend
I was seeing all that happen in real time
My Grandmother without uttering a word 
Would slam the front door right in their very face
And they would come round no more
Its something you just don´t forget
I too had those kind of things happen
When I was now growing more
But I would just say no
And that me mates is my encore.


PS:This really happened they would often follow her to the very front doorstep of my Gran´s house saying that they were her boyfriends.
Alas my Gran did not have time for such kind of thing an slammed the front door right in their face.
If she were here right now she would do exactly the same thing as then there was no messing around with her.
All that happened when I was very small now the story has grown very tall.

Too Big For Their Boots.....Not Able To Have Feelings Of Any Kind...

 She was looking for compassion in that person
She was looking for some kind of feeling
Feeling for the other person in mind
But all said person did
Did was to treat them worse
Exagerate it all out of proportion
Talking down to them
Not appreciating their unwell condition
Despising them thinking yourself much much better
But you kept going an going in the same direction
All she can say is that its just to be hopes
Hopes that it does not happen to you the very same thing
She did not want to believe
Believe she was once close
Close to someone that could do that kind of stuff
Can it really be such a mean person?
Well we all know that does exist
She is sayin no more
She is sayin no more

Nuff said it speaks for itself but she is not sayin any more than that.

Donde la compasión?
Donde el corazón?
Alguien que trabajaba hasta mas no poder
Y no habías hecho mas que pisarle
Una y otra vez y lo siguiente
Mal alimentao, mal pagao
Eso no puede ser
Me parecia haber vuelto a la edad media
Cuando y oia tal cosa ocurrir
Tratandole con desprecio
Hablandole malamente
Sabias que no podia mas
Pero aún seguias
Aun seguias con tu plan
A ver, a ver que no te toque lo mismo
Que no te paguen con la misma moneda
Que tu le has despachao
Yo no me lo querría creer
Que pueda haber gente tan mezquina
Pues ya se ve que los hay
A la vuelta de la esquina
Y no digo más, y no digo mas.

A Simple Pink Rose For A Mom........

 Who will put a rose for you?
Who will put it there?
To show that your life
Meant something although others did not care
She can put you rose
There where you lie
In her mind she can do it only
Because if she were to do that physically
It would right away be destroyed
Although she does not know
What you tried to tell her
Lets all that be in peace
She in her mind puts you a rose
A beautiful pink one
To show you that I at least did think of you
In spite of our many differences
I was the only one there
I was the only one to hold a flag for you
When others only sought to do the contrary
All the time with the same theme
You might have barked up the wrong tree as you said
That´s all over now
Let there be peace overflowing on this 23rd of August
23rd of August when you passed away.

Lost For Words Of Such Bad Treatment Of That Poor Bull.....

 Poor little thing, poor little mite
Alone in the hottest of days
Too much sun, too much light
No water, no food
She wanted to jump the fence an give him water
Albeit a bucket
But no one came
The very belly of that bull
Was heaving from the strain
Dehydrated, he needed shade
Loads of people staring at him
Yet no one went to his assistance
Tears smarted her eyes
Why don´t they let him be?
Why such kind of treatment
She could not bear to keep seeing it
Seeing all that happen
Steam was comin off him
Because of the intense heat
Yet the bull was defiant
He did not admit defeat.



Nuff said that is what actually happens a lot of times, she refuses to go to anyhere where such things take place.

Brightest Star In The World That Day......

 In the Calle. Amaya
Not sayin where
After walkin up 5 flights of stairs
Heavy with child an all the rest
We, María an me sat down
Sat down to watch your fairy tale like Wedding
We saw an watched in awe
That so beautiful wedding dress
So radiant, so vivacious
So full of life
I never imagined that day
How it would all end
Exclamations we made in between
Coffee an pastas
How lovely, how beautiful
The other one I did not even look at
I was seeing the love in your eyes
That was what held me there
An that long long flowing dress
Your name was Diana
Brightest star amongs the rest.

Nuff said Diana I would not have wanted to live your life not even for a day but the wedding memories of your fleeting happiness still stay an Spain an England just for once at peace an content.xxx
