There’s a girl in our village
Felicity Pringle
She’s so plain and boring
she will remain single

The girls all giggle
when she pass’es by
The boy’s never date her
they don’t even try

Then into the village
a new family came
Mr and Mrs Dawkins
and their son named Shane

Now Shane was a biker
each day could be seen
Riding with pride
his mean machine

The girls all dreamed
of riding pillion some day
They waved and hooted
when he came their way

One day by the green
was an terrible sound
One almighty bang
Shane’s engine broke down

He stood by the road side
scratching his head
What’s wrong with your bike
Felicity said

I don’t know he said
I have not a clue
My engine won’t run
I don’t know what to do

Felicity from her bag
produced some tools
And over his engine
began to drool

Half hour later
all covered in oil
She looked up at Shane
with a knowing smile

You’ll be OK now
take it for a spin
Will you come too
Shane said with a grin

Now she rides pillion
in all sorts of weather
And looks very fetching
all dressed in leather

Felicity’s the envy
of all the girls sigh’s
She also the desire
of all of the boy’s

Someone who tells the truth
even though you don’t want to hear
They say how it is
even if this forms a tear

They speak to you each day
if only to say hello
They can read your signals
when its time for them to go

They consider your feelings
by trying not to impose
They notice your hair
and the style of your clothe’s

They will not build you up
when it’s not due
When others run you down
they’ll see you through

If your really crap
a shoulder they’ll lend
That’s when you know
you have a friend

I sit here absent minded
just staring at my cup
Trying to work out
why my poetry dried up
I can still remember
once there was a time
When everything I thought about
turned into a rhymne
With pen in hand I’m willing
but don’t know what to write
This is the situation
from morning until night
Please be patient with me
I’ll give it my best shot
I need some inspiration
but it’s what I havn’t got

Tis with heavy heart
That I leave thee
Will thee wait for me
That I may return triumphant
Thus lay to thee my trophy
Pray for me as I do battle
For I know not where it may end
I pledge to thee my heart and soul
Till we meet again my sweet
God willing I will return with great haste
To thee my sweet adorable wench
That we may lay together
Hence bare fruit of each other
Tis this that will see me through
Till I return then
