NaPoWriMo Day 2 Prompt: Ends with a question

D’you know what I mean?

Its not like I haven’t not tried

Had I not made it quite unclear

He denied they’d never not lied

Not so deaf as will never not hear

I didn’t not say what it wasn’t before

It wasn’t untrue on the whole

Can’t prove its not wrong or right less or more

 NaPoWriMo day one. Recipes

"How to make me a man"

The Ballad Of Barney Rose (He was a man and he had a nose)

There was a man and he had a nose

Not so strange one might suppose

But this chap's nose just grows and grows

He's fallen to his death on his plastic toy sword. 

To number ten from playpen his final reward.

This graceless coup is no coup de grace. 

No comedy of euros,  a cabinet farce,

Dedicated,  without her knowledge or permission, to Laura Taylor, who gave me the desire to write and perform and the kick up the arse to actually do so.

Lioness Laura (Waitrose staff room Jun '18)

Lioness Laura, she Roars

Fury and Rage fly off the page

Venom and Grit, Bile and Spit

She's a voice of a certain age

Lioness Laura, she Purrs

with Mercy and Charm, Beguiling a...

I Want a Mechanical Elephant

I want a mechanical elephant

I want an atomic car

I want 4 weeks in France

I want a more comfortable bra

I want to be less irrelevant

I want to be a good bet

I want next week's winning numbers

I want to be out of debt

I want to be be someone's someone

The apple of their pie

So deeply in love I'm out of my depth

And that makes me wond...
