Never Again
By oxy
19 April 2005

This is my first entry, I'm not very good at punctuation so I apologise in advance.


Never Again

Don't do me breakfast just yet luv,
I'm staying up here in me bed,
I've a mouth like a shot putters armpit,
and ten kids running wild in me head.

Oh why did I have that last larger,
the rooms spinning around once again,
Please turn out the light,
its shining so bright,
that its blinding the cells in me brain.

I'm sorry for showing you up luv,
I know you must be upset,
I'm easily led, just leave me in bed,
can you not just forgive and forget?

Your mothers not really a witch dear,
and she doesn't fly around on a broom,
and I hope and I pray,
she didn't hear me say,
when she dies that I'll dance on her tomb.
 
Did the neighbours calm down in the end luv,
they made twice as much noise as me,
I frightened their cat,
and I'm sorry for that,
but I desperately needed that wee.

You don't have to keep coming up luv,
just bring me my paper and fags,
then when I run out of reading,
I might just need feeding,
I'll try one of those boil in the bags.

Well written, oxy: if you can 'tweak' the scansion of lines 3/4 in the final verse, I wouldn't do a lot more to it! 
Keep 'em comin' 8)

Very funny, good imagery. Don't think you have too much to worry about, a few tweaks, apostrophes, take a word out here, add another there to aid the flow. 
 
Try reading it out loud, you will be able to see where it needs a comma or an extra word. 
 
Thoroughtly enjoyed it! :)
