2018 Homesick Blues
Friends on the Internet
Thinking about what stuff to get
I'm on off on a tangent
Thinking about the NHS
And the murdering Tory government
Plastic in the ocean
Holes in the ozone
Kids who never go home
Diesel emissions
Crooked politicians
Repossessed homes
Payday loans
Drugs via flying drones
Nobody uses pay phones........
Hands dirty
Money's clean
Don't you be afraid to dream
If you're dabbling in drugs
Then stay away from ketamine
Pay mortgage
Pay rent
Home school your family
Then lock them in the basement...
Bet Fred
Bet Fair
Rude to stare
Gamble aware
If you gamble on the Internet
Then good luck
Lose your fortune
Write a book.......
Get hired
Get fired
All fuel
To be inspired
Not afraid to make mistakes
Writing rhyme in company time
Twenty minute toilet breaks
Be polite
Don't be rude
Taking photos of your food
Freestyle
No plan
Upload your photos
To Instagram.....
Team briefings
AA meetings
Falling off wagons
Chasing Dragons
Play your luck for what it's worth
It ain't about length
It's all about the girth
Drink vodka
Drink Gin
Go with the fashion
So you fit in
Be original if you can
Stars of the Internet
Who remembers Zimmerman?.....
Listening to pod casts
While picking up your dog shit
I don't need a light sir
I have my e-cigarette
Constantly spied on
Always caught on cameras
Paint your art on street walls
Cos you can't afford the canvas
The kid in the grey top
Is looking for a new school
Don't call it a him or her
The term is gender neutral......
Worry about evil
If you don't then you ought'er
It tends to get everywhere
Like the fluoride in the water
Can't stay
Gotta go
Ask Google for the answers
To the questions that you don't know...
Walking on
Broken glass
Will burst the bubble in your sneakers
Watch out for rocket men
And psychopathic world leaders....
Copy right
Copy left
Cut and paste
What's next?
X Boxes
Playstations
Historic sex abuse accusations
Yes the times have changed
For instance...
The kid with the drone
Put the Tambourine Man
Out of business
Clearing ice from your windscreen
At half 4 in the morning when it's eight below
You don't need Facebook
To tell you when there's been snow

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 xo
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...

Wow a deservedly hard hitting modern issues poem! Sums up soo many things in awesome rhyming rhythms, fast paced epic like life is these days. Ah and man's polluting ways, yeah I acknowledge that too. Kudos.
Hi, I'm a newbie,Pleez do review/comment my first poem here, I like meeting poem pals and their thoughts, and to know if my poem is easily understood as intended.
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed.
