Entertain

It's the middle of the night
Again
When will insomnia finally drive me
Insane

Strange noise outside
Again
Though thankfully this time it's not
The rain

Drip, drop, pitter patter
Clattering off aluminium ladder
Over and over, without end
When will salvation be my friend

Guess I should try to sleep
Again
Hope some pleasant dreams I can
Entertain

Slippage

Quick two-stop train ride
Off to Selly Oak
For some thing or other
That will probably be a joke

So my words here will be brief
On this misty morn
Don't get the idea though
That I'm moody or forlorn

I might be slightly off-key
That much is very true
My footings seem to lack
Their usual amount of glue

So slip and slide I will for now
You'd better hold on tight
Don't want it being too bumpy
Then you run off in fright
