A SHARK-FIN SOUP ?
Close to Finsbury Park
you'd come across Mr. Shark.
In money he was swimming
selling drugs and women.
A pimp and a pusher he,
the guy's body found later in the sea.

AN-AUTUMN-WIND
The park is beggared,
the wind is a thief.
Stolen a further rose-petal,
stolen a further tree-leaf.
A kingly sun no more smiles down.
It's as if the wind stole his crown.

THE SUCKERS
Just like a vampire
the girl was to drain
the very life-blood
from his veins.

He kept her close,
she being a looker.
Damn turns out he
was as much a sucker !

YES-THE-MYTH-MISS-HIS
The girl that he so loved
turned out to be a damn myth.
She was an evil Morgan Le Fay
or Adam's first wife, shady-Lilith.

THE-POPULAR-PALS-OF-POPULAR-PALS-
OF-THIS-VERSE-POET ?
Gabby Logan was there,
Alex Turner, Rasorlight too.
Busted earlier arrived
Saltburn by-the-sea to view.
Florence minus The Machine
and one of the Kaisers,
though the fair had gone,
yes carousels and waltzers.
But pubbing and partying
and the letting down of hair
in the town of this poet
made up for lack of a fair.
The bands The Darkness
and Lords of Misrule
were fitting visitors, no ?
Yes a celebrity school
came with a greeting
or for a pub-party-meeting,
and knocked upon my door
both Timberlake and Keating.

A-FORECASTING-FEMALE-IN-
FREEZING-COLD-WINTERTIME
A spellbinder is she,
a caster of dreamy spells
amongst the fairy glens,
amongst the fairy dells.

A white witch of winter
who sees and foretells,
just like a mystic-gypsy,
of heavens and hells.

And what shall we find
by springtime and bluebells ?
Not to know the future
has  often served us well.

NETTED-AN-ODD-FISH-FIND
Hook, line and sinker
she captured this lateral-thinker ?
No, I was caught by the sight
of fine she in fishnet-tights !

NO REGRETS ?
You say you don't have regrets
but I know that you do,
they're as constant as your cigarettes
and your alcohol too.
You have also put on weight
and people say it's sad to see
that you look much older
though you are younger than me.

You say you don't have regrets
yet you know that you do.
You can lie to yourself
but some of us see through.

GHOST-RIDERS' GO-BETWEEN
Fulford, Scarcroft, Hobgate
down on Wilton Rise estate.
Yes I went live in all three,
residing there in York City.
From Saltburn's smuggler-king
to the highwayman Dick Turpin.
