I blog my life on Wordpress - but the whole thing’s just a sham

I shout abuse on Twitter - where they don’t know who I am

I spend my nights on E-Bay - when I got time to browse

Buy food on Safeway.com - so I don’t have to leave the house

Click click….

I pretend I’m young and pretty and know what’s going on

And dance alone to tunes I get on Musicload dot com

And when I wanna hang out - and hear the latest buzz

I stay home in my nighties and log in to Google Plus

Click, click   –   it’s all just a click away   -   I buy it

Click, click – that’s how I spend my days – clicking my life away

The whole world’s on my laptop - it keeps me off the street

My friends are all on Facebook - so we never have to meet

I post photos of my dinner and write about my day

I never speak to anyone - it’s easier that way

Click, click….

And if I want a holiday or need to just relax

I travel ´cross the web and find a place on Google Maps

And when, from time to time, I have an online-love-affair

    I don’t even have to put on make-up – or wash my hair

Click, click   –   it’s all just a click away   -   I buy it

Click, click – that’s how I spend my days – I'm clicking

Click click...

No means no                                        Stefan  Maierhofer

There’s an old and modest word – Despite its age it’s still in use

Two simple letters pieced together – Not in any way abstruse

Yes, this clear and catchy word – Is a good one to reduce

Misunderstanding – so it’s a word you gotta choose

Quite an unpretentious word – Despite its age it’s à la mode

Two simple letters pieced together – Not at all a tricky code

Yes, this clear and catchy word – Kind of verbal heavyload

But so many times misheard – Or just ignored

It’s time to work out a guidance – because it’s of great importance

Necessarily loud – Till even the last guy has figured it out

No doesn’t mean yes - And no doesn’t mean maybe

It’s just that easy: No means no - nothing else

“In the beginning was the word” – and this one is really plain

Two simple letters pieced together – going straight to the brain

Yes, this clear and catchy word – can stop indignity and pain

But if it’s muted or unheard – it’s used in vain

Winning the fight for equality - must have the first priority

necessarily shout, till even the last prat has figured it out.

No doesn't mean yes - And no doesn't mean maybe

It's just that easy, no means no - nothing else

No doesn't mean yes - And no doesn't mean maybe

It's plain and easy, no means no - nothing else

If you wake up in the night to the sound of a guitar

And there’s candlewax on your settee

If the cookies are gone and there’s crumbs in your car

It was probably me

You’re so calm about it – still I get your little hints

But my second nature always wins

I’m just a part-time thinker without a degree

Addicted to coffee and good CD’s

A notorious dreamer and loser of keys

Some things never change

If there’s nobody at home but you find the door unlocked

And there’s a poem left on your PC

If your answerphone is full and the toilet is blocked

It was probably me

You’re so calm about it….

I’m just a part-time thinker without a degree….

You’re so cool about it – you deserve the very best

And I don’t wanna be anything less – (but you know me…)

I’m just a part-time thinker...

Sports car                                              Ilse Morriss

Got a good solid car with a lot of room inside

It’s reliable and strong for a family to ride

But there are moments in life when you just need a little more

And I would love some muscle when I put the pedal to the floor

I saw a set of wheels, a hot, sweet machine

When it flashed its sexy headlights, I gave it gasoline

Oh the sensation of the leather on my thighs and my butt

And the deep, dirty feel of the vibration in my gut

And now I need a sports car

With an extra seat for my guitar

If I could have it, I’d keep it cleaned and greased

And rev it up till it roars like a beast

Little red sports car

It’s had me so excited since it caught my eye

I don’t care that the mileage might be a little high

Oh the engine purrs so smoothly and it’s got a lot of class

With its sleek, slinky lines and the shiny lights of glass

I need a little sports car

With an extra seat for my guitar

If I could have it, I’d keep it cleaned and greased

And rev it up till it roars like a beast

Little red sports car

My love is cool and sensuous with stylish, racy wheels

Oh how good it feels…

Sports car, sports car... 

with an extra seat for my guitar

If I could have it, I’d keep it cleaned and greased

And rev it up till it roars like a beast

I’ll buckle up and head out for the beach 

In my sports car  -  sports car

       River                      Ilse Morriss

Winter has gone - it was so long

And I am still caught in its wake

I’m not feeling up – I’m not feeling down

I’m just sick of the smile that I fake

There’s a jumble of thoughts, twisting my brain

Recurring dreams I cannot explain

I feel like a stone, lying unthrown

On the bank of a glistening stream

So spin me around –till I hear the sound

Of the waves and the wind in my hair

If you are my earth – I’ll be your sky

Between us there’s so much to share

My soul is bright in the light that you shed

You’re clear and vivid, inside my head

When life weighs me down, you come around

And carry me away….

You’re a river – I’m soaking up your verve

Feel your quiver – swimming in your surf

You’re a raging river – I’m going  with your flow

Feel your torrent quiver

 – and dive deep down, drift real slow

Time shared with you, is precious and true

And so soothing in moments of hurt

Wise or askew – funny or blue

I’m sleeping wrapped in your words

Fleeting dreams - when night turns to day

Visions of bliss – drifting away

But when I hold you close to my heart

You can make them stay

You’re a river.........
