RUNNING NAKED
I've ran naked down
my street,
Also I've paraded
naked around the town.
Nobody has ever
raised an eyebrow,
When I attended a
wedding without any clothes on,
Not even the vicar
delivered a frown.
***
I've made love to
people I shouldn't have,
I've been naughty
with the lady next door.
People wandered by without raising an eyebrow,
Neither of us had
any clothes on,
And we were laid on
a supermarket floor.
***
I've had ghosts in
my previous house,
They've haunted and
tormented my inner soul.
An old woman who
stalked the upstairs landing,
She’s always
terrifying, haggard and pure evil.
She stares through
me with hollow eyes, black as coal.
***
I've been chased by all sorts of wild animals,
Even dinosaurs have
bitten and clawed at my skin.
Every time a take a
dive into the pool,
I’m about to hit my
head on the other side.
My brain suddenly
starts to kick in.
***
These are the
dreams I've been having,
I’m sure it’s what
I eat that makes them so.
But, I
wonder...would people actually ignore me
If I ran about town
in the nude?
Just be glad you’ll
never have to see it on show.
