3757 - Fucking bollocks

Well, all I can say is, well, not a lot
It's 10:30 which is quite late, you know
One could say, yes they could, I've lost the plot
But that's all bollocks, things come and they go
Sensible people make decisions, know
Things I don't know, that's up to them, don't care
Each day goes by, things happen, goes to show
That we should just carry on, don't despair
Carla is having late night soup, not sure
What it is, but it's green - that means a lot
It may be healthy, may be not also
Things are as they are, yes, yes, to be fair
Until things change, why not ask a robot
It would make more sense than what we have to show

3756 - Beer right in the end

What a day at work! Very pressurised
But it's all over with a good outcome
Got thanked and my work was quite rightly praised
Now, although I shouldn't, I just want 'numb'
So bought beer on the way from work to home
Now I'm writing this, reasonably happy
But don't think I'll do much rehearsing. Some
Relaxation is now necessary
I've shaved, so that's enough chores now for me!
Can't even be bothered eating. My prize
First of all will be to have a good strum
Of uke, maybe guitar, quite soon we'll see
And neighbours will hear. Wonder if they've sized
Me up as good, or annoying? I'm done!

3755 - Let the brain take the strain

A strange day, began quite sleepy, but gained
Momentum with my work this afternoon
As vapour recovery minds were strained
Among many emails and telecons
But I felt good by end of day and once
Home, did exercises and ironing
Then cooked my tea, no time-wasting, but soon
(When you're quite late at work), time is slipping
By, and the evening's already waning
It's nearly 8:15. This is the strain
Of full-time work plus other ambition
Comedy is what I've been performing
For a few years now, I can't change again
I should stick with it, because I'm a loon

3754 - I Can Do Magic

I'm almost zombie-like, catatonic
After an hour of song lyric-writing
And a uke session that was fantastic
Playing Elvis, Cockney Rebel, ending
With the Beatles' tricky stuff - finishing
With a headache from the effort! Still want
To learn these songs a bit more this evening
Must work each day on being more efficient
So I can stick it to those cheeky cunts
Change their expressions from doubting to meek
And even awe-inspired! Hard work's looming!
But this is a good tiredness, cos the point
Is, it's caused by comedy work - caustic
Comment-reducing graft, learnt craft. Magic!

3753 - They don't know about us

A flippin' cold day but, spose, Christmassy
Achieved a lot early on, while still home
Comedy-wise, logged venues, Elvissy
Lyrics and chords noted, upwards goin'
Feeling confident now, despite those gnomes
Those talentless organisers, tin pot
Promoters, think they're businessmen, smart phones
But less smart brains, organisers, but not
Characters, no vision, except to plot
Some non-comedic route through comedy,
Parasites, sifting talent, mere drones
In service of the middle-class despots
Some have, and some have not, close family
Met my sister and niece, meal at Zizzi

3752 - Boring Friday

Woke up for almost three hours in the night
So to pass the time, kept humming the tune
To my recent new knees-up song, I tried
To make it better, lying in the gloom
It didn't affect work too badly - soon
I was off home while still light, which was nice
No creative work once home, fork and spoon
Were used to good effect, and TV eyes
And not much else, no fun and small surprise
Wanted a shower, but Carla's gone inside
The steamy and the wet little bathroom
She's out now, maybe I can soap my sides
After a shave, I'll shower with all my might
Then return to bed to work on that tune!

3751 - On the good foot-ball

Thank God I've got more energy tonight
After a long sleep of more than 8 hours
Done exercises, as I heard the flight
Of fans, police vans and helicopters
Man U are playing Feyenoord, of course
Meanwhile, Carla's cooking vegetables
So I'll postpone my comedy practice
So she can eat in peace. Still got troubles
Doing that long day's work serving peoples
Coffee and cake at Caffe Nero - quite
Tiring when you start so early, your powers
Are strained to the limit. She got chuckles
Last night for her brand new comedy set
Let's hope we get fans and they throw us flowers!!
