god save the king

 

God save the King

may your illness not dismay

may you get financial aid

not deduction of your pay

may you hospital appointments

arrive not go astray

may you arrive in time for treatment

with no transport delay

may your castle be well heated

with no meter to prepay

may your doctors not be on strike

and be cheerful bright and gay

may your treatment be like your subjects

in every single way


feeding sheep

 

Down the muddy pothole lane

the rust flake pick-up goes

to the fields of sheep

of ewes with tales of woe

cold lambs risk of dying

now ewes udders cease to grow


there is food in the back

scarce this time of year

to sprinkle on the ground

for any sheep that's near

lambs with hypothermia

will not meet the auctioneer

computer love

Those whiz kids of computing
 thought the future would be bright
 if they gave computers emotions
 and left them for the nigh

 To see computers in love 
they couldn't be much keener
 one computer loved the toaster 
the other the vacuum cleaner
