4843 - The gates of hell

Today, I had a mad day, highs and lows
But it's ended. miraculously well
Problems at work, problems with videos
Problems with people who won't want to tell
The truth, how do you combat this? You sell
Your soul because you want something so bad
And people see that you are credible
Take the lead, fight for your vision, they've had
To recognise it's your thing, in your head
They'll never know how you think, and the blows
You deflect, you must be strong, mustn't fall
Believe in yourself and it's not so bad
And five things have resolved today, it shows
That faith will get you through the gates of hell

4842 - Boring bastards

And so we come to yesterday, no drink
Lots of fags on the balcony instead
Never as good as that great combining
Of booze and fags which can't be defeated
If some false friends decide they've retreated
That's their loss, we both know that it was good
I get bored quickly, and if they're not stead-
fast in aiming at fun, they're Christmas pud
They're yesterday's news, they're just wasted blood
Going nowhere, no victims they're helping
They're just causes of boredom in my head
They are merely human samples of mud
Why care about them, why be worrying?
I'd rather enjoy life as should be led

4841 - Whatever happened?

Things have got crazy, so busy all day
I don't really know what I did, as the
Time has flown by, three days have had their say
And it's three days ago, so I'm not sure
What happened today, but I remember
I had a few beers, thinking I'd earned it
And I was so keen on that, that I erred
And didn't do my diary, wasn't fit
So I'm doing it now, three whole days late
I'm worried that there's repeated delay
In videoing, just as it's out there
And a few fans have emerged. I must hit
The iron while it's hot, or things will play
Out and degrade. Need reliable helpers...

4840 - Sorry does seem to be the hardest word

Andrew Neil is on TV, questioning
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn
And first off, Corbyn's answering
Widespread allegations flooding in
Of institutional anti-Semitism
Corbyn's long campaigned against racism
Yet the media keeps aiming that at him
Under Andrew's forensic searchlighting
I have to say that Corbyn is struggling
He doesn't seem too keen on arguing
This point, and in fact seems to be squirming
Unable to apologise to them
The frightened Jews, apart from those planning
To vote Labour anyway. Worrying...

4839 - A fishy tale

Quite tired at work, less sleep than usual
Quite quiet at work, and got quite a lot done
Came home and had fish for tea, tasted well
Then Harry appeared, a wag of the chin
And that 's taken up all of this evening
But it's been funny, and quite productive
Although it's not so helping my thinking
And my brain's feeling so radioactive
It's malfunctioning like you won't believe
The thoughts take long to get from cell to cell
It takes so long reaching destination
That it's not worth it, to your huge relief
Even the ads seem funny, all, yes. all
The drama of it all thrills everyone

4838 - Far from the Worst Comedy Night

A good day, did exercises and lots
Of other chores, knowing Harry would be
Moving in before long, and I had chats
With Helen, about the gig, Saturday
Best of all, went through all my songs to play
On video next weekend, so I could send
Some clips to the Fringe or maybe display
On YouTube, show my fans by next weekend
Who don't know, I'm a comedy song fiend
Wrote new ones too. Harry moved in, and its
All sorted relatively quickly
Including his quick payment of the rent
And best of all I went out to The Worst
Comedy Night in its new home. Happy!

4837 - Wolf snack

A fun afternoon at Café Lupo
With Carla and Justyna. Carla was
Ill and nearly cancelled and didn't go
And Justyna, she went to the wrong place
Its old Chapel Street site, because of mis-
Information on the map, on Facebook
Anyhow, they were both there. Carla is
In a dilemma, happy with her bloke
But their house is in Huddersfield. She's stuck
There and would rather be here, and also
Seems to have stopped her comedy - that is
A shame - and in a low-paid job. She'd look
At a PhD course, but they are so
Costly here, less so in Sweden! Poor Miss!
