Laughter in the sky

Throughout my childhood you were always on TV

Saturday night it seemed, it was only you and me

Laughter filled the room and a smile upon my face

Now who is going to fill this comedy legend space?

Born in Edinburgh, you then head for the big smoke

You achieved fame quickly by telling a simple joke

Another classic sketch about class on the Frost Report

Then left for the Two Ronnies without a second thought

More laughter soon followed and that brought you more fame

Now people up and down the country know you by your name

 Other projects came and went and you become a BAFTA winner

 Gervais asked you on to EXTRAS and you became a toilet sinner

 The four candles sketch genius and still lives on today

Written by Ronnie Barker the laughter will continue to stay

A ‘Sorry’ sitcom success were you played a librarian called Tim

But for now it’s Goodnight from me and a special Goodnight from him, 

I walked the night

The darkness approaches and silence fills the air

I walk the streets alone I walk without a care

Shadows fill the streets the moon a perfect sphere

Slowly step by step I move up another gear

Out of the city lights the stars flash dance in the sky

Dreaming I was free, dreaming I could fly

Face to face with my thoughts they become much more clear

Unable to turn back I have the need to face my fear

Rain begins to pour and I take it as a sign

I carry on walking knowing that I’ve crossed the thinking line

My reflection in a still puddle makes me look so relieved

A huge weight of my shoulders because I always believed

The night draws to a close and the sun begins to rise

My thoughts become the truth the enemy is only lies

Steps become shorter and the need to walk gradually ends

I no longer walk alone; I’m now surrounded by my friends

Global Warming

Climate change is the greatest environmental threat

The needs of the planet that people haven’t met

Endangering our economy, communities and health

Businesses not concerned with our future only their wealth

Increase in energy means increase in fossil fuels

Why not solar or wind energy? Surely we have nothing to lose

More fuel, farms, buildings has led to deforestation

An increase in carbon dioxide not good for any nation

Raising sea levels, flooding and the melting polar ice

It will affect the future but for now we don’t think twice

The balance of scientific opinion is that human activities are to blame

Every one of us has to act; we all need to do the same

Ash and gases from volcanic eruptions also enter the atmosphere

We have to make changes we can’t continue to live in fear

Animals losing their habitats, means animals losing their life

If Global Warming doesn’t change our world will be in strife

That Smile

I didn’t know what to expect when I went out that Thursday night

But something stirred inside me telling me it was going to be alright

The weather was atrocious and my positive mood was quickly wearing thin

But I didn’t remain defeated as when I saw you I knew I would win

I stood alone by the bar blending unnoticed in to the background

Hoping you would notice me above the band and their musical sound

The night was under way and the noise turned in to a raucous laughter

If Disney signs the movie then this will be our happy ever after

You sat down stylishly at your table and stared straight towards me

A smile that’s worth a million dollars and I got to see it all for free

For a moment I stared, then looked away as I couldn’t comprehend

Was that I sign or a signal, I missed, for me to become your friend?

And now, as I close my eyes, that smile still won’t leave my head

I keep thinking of all the romantic things I wish I could have said

What I wouldn’t give to see you again and see that beautiful smile

If I had to travel around the world it would definitely be worthwhile

Incredible Woman

In a crowded room

I watched you from a far

You caught my eye while I was standing at the bar

Tonight the stars aligned

We laughed in the rain

An incredible woman whose love I would gain

You have the perfect smile

To match you sparkling eyes

I can’t believe you picked me from a thousand guys

All the signs were there

This was too good to be true

An incredible woman there can be only one of you

A cheeky kiss on the lips

Finally I’m holding your hand

Moving to the dance floor to the rhythm of the band

You took me in your arms

We had our first dance

An incredible woman you had me in a love trance

A princess in the night

Calling out my name

Two of us together our lives will never be the same

A Knight in shining armour

Coming to rescue you

An incredible woman whose fairytale has come true
