Jane and I ‘are’ Courtney and Jake – so we bought ourselves some chocolate from Trago Mills.

NB I (Grae/Jake) normally sing with the accompanying chords of C G and D

(Bad habit, but try it and see if you can get Courtney and Jake to live in ‘your’ song – G:) )
Courtney and Jake

(Like coffee and cake)

Courtney and Jake

Go together

Whatever the weather

And when it comes to the haves

And the have-nots;

Then Courtney and Jake

Are the chav-nots.
Courtney and Jake

Courtney and Jake

Go together

Like coffee and cake;

Like coffee and cake

Are Courtney and Jake.

Me dreaming about writing my best ever poem

The best poem that I will ever write

Has not been written yet;

It’s certainly not this one.
It may be my next poem

It might be my last poem

It could be both 

(Nice to go out on a high)

Or it could be years from now

And I might not even recognise it’s genius

Until it was too late.
I hesitate…
As I do…
And digress a little…
By mentioning the Sphinx…
Which is quite strange

And a propos of nothing before

Like a non-sequitur-

Oh, look at me going all foreign…
As I said…
This is not my best poem; but it is my latest.
I don’t hold out much hope for my future attempts…
Do you?

Me: I’ve booked the cooks!
You: Lovely. (Pause) What cooks?
Me: Booked the cooks; cooked the books; cooked the cooks; and even booked the books!
You: Oh, I see. Good work, Shylock!
Me: Thank you.

PS both ‘me’ and ‘you’ are me

If this is clear then you do see

What happens when my mind meets me

And we chat and have a word or three.

“Do, Dew, Due the funky gibbon!”(LindaGHill’sSoCS SSoC)

‘Due’ is two

In Italy; 

Or ‘due’ means ready

For me and for you;

And the dew on the grass

Is like water in a glass

And ‘do’ you know what

A to-do it is when you are doing your best

And don’t get a rest

To eat donuts and dough;

Though, when all is said and done

Doughty souls have far less fun

Do I know this?

Indeed, I do;

And so,

I bid you

“Adieu!”

School https://g.co/kgs/GKYjWv

When it comes to… ‘pass’
I took exams once

Then I took some of them twice

And a few three times.

My maths was good

So I took it twice, too;

And passed it twice.

Other things didn’t come to me so easily.

12% in Science was not a ‘pass’

In fact, it gave me a detention;

Which added a new dimension to my schooling.
1974 School by Supertramp 

From ‘The Crime Of The Century’ album on A&M records – just one of the lunchtime LPs that we played and has never left me.

My music makes me happy.

Listening, playing, I haven’t got much class;

But, on music, I won’t pass.
