Homeless
Aall alone on the city street,
in a door way, at night retreat.
my duvet is a coardboard box,
covering holes in my socks.
no address, and so no job,
scrouging pennies,from well dressed knobs.
I have no work, no where to stay,
and no money,so I cant play.
I left home, for the city lights,
now drink cider and get in fights.
so when your curled up in youre bed,
nice soft matteress, upon your bed.
maybe, thinking of how to pay a bill,
and your belly has had it's fill.
your well off, but you dont know,
I'll swop with you, come on,lets go.

Poppies
A poppies field has no compare,
it makes you to stop and stare.
flowers so red, almost blood,
a green field, with such a flood.
beneath, animals search and sleep,
and there young, safe to keep.
grubs, mice, and tiny ants,
are all below,these majestic plants.
but with some, there are a twist,
poppies, with a poisonous kiss.
only one specie, not all of them,
makes a drug called opium.
so powerful, it drags yuo into a lair,
full of woe, and dispair.
so, beware! of such a lovely flower,
it can cause anguish, every hour."
