2018 Homesick Blues
Friends on the InternetĀ
Thinking about what stuff to get
I'm on off on a tangentĀ
Thinking about the NHS
And the murdering Tory governmentĀ
Plastic in the oceanĀ
Holes in the ozoneĀ
Kids who never go home
Diesel emissionsĀ
Crooked politiciansĀ
Repossessed homes
Payday loans
Drugs via flying drones
Nobody uses pay phones........
Hands dirtyĀ
Money's cleanĀ
Don't you be afraid to dream
If you're dabbling in drugs
Then stay away from ketamineĀ
Pay mortgageĀ
Pay rent
Home school your family
Then lock them in the basement...Ā
Bet Fred
Bet FairĀ
Rude to stare
Gamble aware
If you gamble on the InternetĀ
Then good luck
Lose your fortuneĀ
Write a book.......
Get hiredĀ
Get fired
All fuelĀ
To be inspiredĀ
Not afraid to make mistakesĀ
Writing rhyme in company time
Twenty minute toilet breaks
Be politeĀ
Don't be rude
Taking photos of your food
FreestyleĀ
No plan
Upload your photosĀ
To Instagram.....
Team briefingsĀ
AA meetingsĀ
Falling off wagonsĀ
Chasing DragonsĀ
Play your luck for what it's worthĀ
It ain't about lengthĀ
It's all about the girth
Drink vodkaĀ Ā
Drink GinĀ
Go with the fashionĀ
So you fit in
Be original if you can
Stars of the InternetĀ
Who remembers Zimmerman?.....
Listening to pod castsĀ
While picking up your dog shit
I don't need a light sir
I have my e-cigaretteĀ
Constantly spied on
Always caught on camerasĀ
Paint your art on street walls
Cos you can't afford the canvasĀ
The kid in the grey topĀ
Is looking for a new school
Don't call it a him or herĀ
The term is gender neutral......Ā
Worry about evil
If you don't then you ought'erĀ
It tends to get everywhereĀ
Like the fluoride in the water
Can't stay
Gotta goĀ
Ask Google for the answersĀ
To the questions that you don't know...
Walking on
BrokenĀ glassĀ
Will burst the bubble in your sneakers
Watch out for rocket men
And psychopathic world leaders....
Copy rightĀ
Copy left
Cut and paste
What's next?
X Boxes
Playstations
Historic sex abuse accusationsĀ
Yes the times have changed
For instance...Ā
The kid with the drone
Put the Tambourine Man
Out of business
Clearing ice from your windscreenĀ
At half 4 in the morning when it's eight belowĀ
You don't need Facebook
To tell you when there's been snow

Ps....I LOVE BOB DYLAN!!..... smiles.....ā„
Thanks Tony I'm glad you like it. I tried to do a modern take on the song and also a tribute at the same time. I wasn't sure if I'd really pulled it off or just done a rip off of the song. It's a tribute anyway. Without Dylan there would have been no poem. I'm a fan of him too.
Thanks for reading and leaving feedback - Syd xoĀ
Hello Syd...
It's so sad how many aren't here, anymore...
I hope they are still enjoying their gifts they have blessed is with...
What's next you ask?
Sex Robots...
That should surely cut down on the Divorce rate...
I'm thinking about getting one for a friend of mine who keeps finding bad guys...
Great Tribute!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...
