Drink wine, beer, spirits that cheer,
go on a bike ride, watch the tide, admire Gay Pride,
read a book, be spooked by a spook, try not to look,
don’t get hooked.
Go to the zoo, catch flu, listen to the blues, sew,
cook, spy a rook, or a crow, a sparrow, or a tit,
act like a git.
Go to a show, wear a giant bow, pretend you don’t know,
go slow, jive, tango, eat a mango, do the splits,
back flips, get nits.
Love snow, winds that blow, feelings that glow,
mow the lawn, get up at dawn, go out in a storm,
mourn, feel drawn, pawn your watch, more Scotch.
Take a hike, beat fear of a mike, fish for pike,
beat the clock, sit on the dock, eat jellied eels,
kneel in church, with a hassock, so won’t ache, make.
Smile, look, see, hear, enjoy the scent, the senses,
the sexes, the kids, blow your lid, just stop in the midst.
Buy a frock, think outside the box, cut your locks, smoke,
find a bloke, try coke and get stoned, unadvised,
don’t be naive, ignore strife, get a life.
Have a laugh, or a bath, with incense, with candles,
buy Victorian door handles, Indian sandals, paint toes,
plant rows of peas, sneeze, brain freeze.
Go for a sail, sick over the rail, ride on a whale,
wear a veil, fail, tell the tale, get into jail, get bale,
rail, become a male.
Become a child, go wild, smell the flowers, the coffee,
float like a butterfly, have a lobotomy, plant a tree, drink tea,
get angry, feel free.
January 2017.
