A Single Bed


On an empty stage

An assassin dies


Faux dreams haunt my dreams

In a theatre of fools

Faux dreams haunt my dreams





Joe I think ewe have gone too far this time

You have upset a great number of people

With your criticism of the English Church

I even think that Daddy would be x with ewe

I disagree Josie

Do you really understand my comments

The English Church has been infiltrated

One has only to see what they value

I think you are mistaking liberalism for something else

Just think what you are saying

The church is leaning to the left

Even an idiot can see that


This is going to be a Josie question

Please do not get x with me

I never get x with you

But are you leaning towards the Church of Rome

No

Just because I admire the Church of Rome

Does not mean that I am thinking of becoming a Catholic

The Catholic Church in my view is less complicated

The absurdity of the current arguments

Brings this in to a sharp focus

Two and two have always equalled four

Not five three or any other total

These are the years of unnecessary guilt

As there was no guilt in the first place

Joe your poem

What about my poem

Are you the assassin

No why should I be

It appears that a leader

Has been assassinated

I know that you would not shed nears

If certain people were put to the sword

Only traitors Josie only traitors

Who is your assassin

Plenty of assassins

Have died on an empty stage


Mummy

What about Mummy

How do you think she will feel

When she reads your words

She will probably agree with me

These are her thoughts

Or at least most of them are

Thin ice Joe

Daddy leaned towards Rome frequently

I disagree
