Parody - Give back my Refund

My Refund cries under the taxman
My Refund cries under the king
My Refund cries under the taxman
Oh give back my Refund to me

Give back, give back
Give back my Refund to me, to me
Give back, give back
Give back my Refund to me

Last night as I sat with my accounts
Last night as I sat with my books
Last night as I sat with my accounts
I dreamed that my Refund was dead

Give back, Give back
Give back my Refund to me, to me
Give back, Give back
Give back my Refund to me

Oh throw ye curses o'er the taxman
And throw ye curses o'er the king
Oh throw ye curses o'er the taxman
And Get back my Refund to me

Give back, Give back
Give back my Refund to me, to me
Give back, Give back
Give back my Refund to me

The lies will blow over the taxman
The lies will blow over the king
The lies will blow over the taxman
And give back my Refund to me

Give back, Give back
Give back my Refund to me, to me
Give back, Give back
Give back my Refund to me

She's complicated

She's complicated. She'll charm you with charts, statistics and that corporate smile. But look into those eyes, they're fiercely bohemian. She's complicated. Her chatterings seem to resonate with happy sounds, but listen with the other ear, to an unhidden lament. She's complicated. Her silences agonise, her voice echoes in her absence. And yet there is a mild dread as her name flashes on the ringing phone. She's complicated. Sometimes she's a poetess, shallow, romantic, trying to hide a sardonic, world-weary wit. She's complicated. She could be a spiteful Fury, wrath unabated, but that's just to hide the lamb-hugging girl within. She's complicated. She's an enchantress, a fool, a tyrant, a nurse, an imp, a priestess, but she's generally a good friend. She's complicated. Published in Making Waves - A Poetry Anthology , ed.

Dusk & Dawn

Sometimes it is hard to know, which is dusk and which is dawn. For was the day a mere eclipse, careening into the blackness of unending night? ...Or is night but an eye-blink, waiting for the light to come, first in trickles, and then in torrents? Sometimes it is hard to know, which is dusk and which is dawn.

Fit

 What we are is a jigsaw pieces that come together searching for edges that match some we know will never sit: a sideways glance, a crush, a lifelong regret; some we think will last, but no we stick around a while and then we know we are meant for other things, other people, other places but mostly just being othered some of us are corner pieces who know where we are and who will come to find us eventually I can only wish I was that and some of us are that piece that doesn't fit neither color nor shape nor corner we force it sometimes, set it aside for some later unfulfillable hope until it is too late to realise we were left over from another puzzle, with only the longing to fit, to belong, to be included
