December 7th

Because I can, because I should

Because you said I never could

Because you never asked me why

Because I've just begun to try

Because I wanted to let you know

Because I had to give it a go

Because I made myself a plan

Because you'd never understand

Because no one had done it before

Because I could no longer ignore

Because nothing is handed to you

Because I was feeling impromptu

Because I just wanted to see

Because I'm just becoming me

Because I felt I got left behind

Because my words opened my mind

Because I'm having too much fun

Because they said it couldn't be done

December 6th

The music played, I was young again

I was able to life suspend

I was with my closest friends

I was sensory surrounded

I was taken back to being eighteen

Enveloped by the modern Mod scene

Lost in the memory smoke screen

Ears ringing and mind astounded

The days of being trouble free

No future plans of responsibility

Came flooding back so beautifully

My eyes had little tears

We were confident, a little Machiavelli

T.F.I Friday was on the telly

Now greying hair and bigger belly

What happened to those years

I love how music takes you back

A place,a time, a single track

Memories boxed and neatly stacked

Forever to remain

Until these components again I find

Until the stars are realigned

It'll stay forever in my mind

And I'll never feel old again

December 5th

Hello, Mr Ellis have you been before

Or do you daily dentist ignore

Have you become a herbivore

'I've been a little unwilling'

Come in, relax and please lie down

I'll grab my light and look around

Oh look at what I have found

A hole that needs some filling

I've never really had a problem

I've stuck to the oral curriculum

Now I'm feeling all mouth solemn

That's lowered my morale

Your teeth are really excellent

With healthy hygiene highly apparent

My mouth was quietly jubilant

This one needs root canal

Face is sad and feeling sorrow

Further meetings hard to swallow

Booked in for a filling tomorrow

I've got my appointment docket

I hope the work is not too intensive

As I'm feeling a little pensive

This dental practice is expensive

Feeling the pain in my pocket

December 4th

As we had toward another anniversary

My love was a seed, you're it's nursery

You're my primary, secondary and tertiary

This is my way of showing

I knew as soon as we came together

That'll it would be you and me forever

Just put your trust in the magic feather

I hope this finds you knowing

You are my constant,my guiding light

You're never wrong, I'm never right

You are the angel in my delight

Our lives together dawning

From now until the apocalypse

Until Southend with a bag of chips

We'll have each other and replacement hips

I'll see you every morning

You inspire and encourage me daily

I love you like Fornby loved the ukulele

As important as hummus is to an Israeli

As funny as you are lovely

So everyday let me see your face

and hug me with your warm embrace

be surrounded by your godly grace

You're small but always above me

December 3rd

I feel I’m losing my word battle

Herding words around like cattle

Desperately trying to originate

Unable to phrase formulate

Stopped in my funny tracks

Too far gone to go back

I can see the finish line

The first place trophy is mine

The marathon has be exhausting

With continual brain contorting

But I seemed to have tamed my herds

Careful control over new found words

Empty pages are slowly filling

Linger, ponder and general milling

Hoping that the words are found

So I can bring it all around

When I started my daily dedication

Before it became an infatuation

I used to enjoy my distraction

But I can’t get no satisfaction

My passion has now become a chore

I’m writing things I’ve written before

December 2nd

An amazing year, but the pressure is on

The last leg with my poem baton

I won’t miss it when it’s gone

It’s become a nuisance

How to follow up and proceed

If I actually complete the deed

What a thrill if I do succeed

Reward for my persistence

Comedy has been pushed my way

Could I write a funny dossier?

I’ll try to reheat that soufflé

What could possibly go wrong?

Oh the happiness I could bring

If I could conquer word jestering

Throw a wit punch in the laughter ring

Is that where my head belongs

But I won’t forget the poetry

This has set my mind free

Be as great as you can be

Look up instead of down

I could do it, there is no question

Evolve my hilarity into a profession

Join me as I accept my accession

I’ll happy take that crown

December 1st

When shall we three meet again?

Toast once more with apple champagne

To continue on our worldly reign

My two greatest friends

Be it comedy, music or F.A’s

Great memories of the greatest days

Never failing to amaze

Always good to soul cleanse

When together, it’s time I treasure

Discussing past times at our leisure

Your welcoming is my pleasure

You constantly enthral

Just chatting over a few beers

Worlds align, worry disappears

You are my other 2 Musketeers

All for one, one for all

Next year we will start surprising

Our minds expand as we begin comprising

Look out world because we’re uprising

Confident and urbane

We are continually world berating

Making us laugh whilst self deprecating

We are all geniuses laying in waiting

Until we three meet again
