Another of stuff I keep finding

Last posting, I need to look at earning money

Dave

             Tumbleweed - edited changed and will be re-written


I look over my shoulder
A donkey, a One Horse Town
Feet on my desk
Makes a change it’s just brown
And their mine for a change
My life maybe re-arrange
Wind coming in dry again
Woman following
Can I deny again
Why don’t you leave gal
Go somewhere that has some meaning for you Sal
I’m no use to you
Two guns on my hip
My life on one slip
And you dead in my bed
Find a highbrow
Find a lowbrow
Find a good bell
That doesn’t ring Hell
This badge rings
It might as well be tin
Find a good man Sal
My horse is my only Pal
Door swept the room
Sucking away the gloom
I left by the shack
There was no looking back
The peace of night is my old friend
I walk a lonely march
No-one hears me move
I don’t take any chance
I head for the mountain
Miles and miles away
Away from the shadows
Away from the rest of my day
If they spread me out
What else do I care
Making their claims on my body
Taking away my hair
What do my people do
That is different to that

The wallet as usual is always up for grabs and the Government always there.

The hair is still there however but nonsense does stop you getting to big headed or thinking that all poems must have a darkened room and be of tragedy

Which would be a dark tragedy

Thanks James

I liked writing the song of a supposed Coward, who when no-one would help him just a woman in love, ran to save his love; for a woman, who, he didn't and couldn't plan a life with, even if she disagreed

Thanks Paul


TRhe rights of the coward legging it, providing he never lets anyone rely on it

Screws up the 'I can control anyone' brigade

And I wont say who I did my leadership courses with, but I would refer you to 'Pratchett'

Sounds like a lonely man on the run , or perhaps hiding fear

I wouldn't change a thing.  
I believe Louis would be smiling, as well.

I suppose I should have called it "Low Noon"

I might do that
