This day last year

Stepping off the bus and into the rain
Strolling past the shops in a nice warm coat
Hearing water flow into the street drain
Buying Tim-Tams – they will keep me afloat
Heading towards the University
Sitting on a bench with lunch time in mind
Watching everybody walk right past me
Scanning a newspaper for jobs to find
Listening to the music on my Discman
Pondering as the puddles slowly grow
Wondering if the sun will come again
Looking at my watch: It’s now time to go

Now is the time to focus on the plan
Now’s the time to go and sit an exam


??/?? 2004

That joke isn't funny any more

“How do you keep a moron in suspense?”
Asking for an answer that I don’t know
You smiled and said you’ll tell me tomorrow
But you’ve made a claim that’s utter nonsense
You’ve made me a promise which you can’t keep
Come the next day the answer’s still the same
And the frustration grows within my brain
As the answer becomes what I won’t reap
I don’t see why you should procrastinate
You brought it up so don’t try to back out!
Stop changing the subject and drop the pout
I want the answer if it’s not too late

Why are you keeping the answer from me?
I want to know all about what you see
