Cramping my style
Making ever

With little warni

Restr

Any morning

Th

And I soon learned
Tears could flow another way

As opposed to a club man
Though I do like a lot
Of cho

Hanging.
Waiting.
Worrying.
Debating.
Little decisions
Where I've no control
Dri

In
to the hole.

There's a certain joy to be had
In
celebrating when I was a lad.
Take the 5ive song
Keep On Mov
in'
;
To th
at aged
10
I was groovin'.
Then Dave J. Giles play
ed a
version
And I felt a huge immersion
In
the innocence of my youth,
And my soul just hit the roof.

To trust on
esel
f
Is quite the fudge
When
meh
and
ohh
Shape how you judge.
And
on Tue
sday
Came a debate
On how marriage
To legislate.
Of course, I tho
ught
Equal is right
And why can't they
See the same light?
To tru
st myself
Is
a big deal
When
meh
and
ohh
Is how I feel.

This is a message
For those w
ho
desire
A means of control
And a way to set fire
To the world as they know it
To com
bust th
eir bad thoughts
And ad
d
to life's value
A fat wodge of
noughts.
You can do it. I
've decided that.

Tell
me a story.
I want to hear
tri
via.
A t
ale of what happen
ed
Before you d
id live
here.
I had an adventure
Along the Welsh
Mar
ches.
I lived with Nigerians
And watched fo
otball matches.
While Shropshire was lovely
I do prefer London.
There
's
cultural value
Even when bits are
rundown

Slim and wiry?
Self-enquiry.
Did I act or blink?
An overthink.
Do my students like me?
Who cares? They're tiny.
Am I keeping moving?
Yes, your health's improving.

To fill

A happ

As seeing people numbs the fear
A blank page is a frightening sight.
