They say it's the worst day of the year For folk that is - Blue Monday. The lights are long extinguished, And grey clouds of debt Give no relief to broken resolutions. Beyond Scarba an angry orange light Shows only that the sun has not gone out. It is held back, barred, futile as all our yesterdays....

The Deniers' Song Three nine zero parts per million What on Earth’s the harm in that? Climate’s driven by the sun Cosmic rays are where it’s at. Global warming propaganda Warmists on the gravy train Lying snouting hypocrites Fly to Cancun on the plane. Wasn’t that last Winter cold? Chuck the broken...

Grey Area Grey grave grasping life’s last husk Grey clouds clawing dawn to dusk Grey expressions, Grey foreboding Grey complexion, hope eroding. Souls now tuned to dismal weather No laughter, frolic, craik or blether We weary on through March’s drain Its hail and dreich and cold and rain The fag as...

Graceful dancers on the hill Electrons pumping into houses Looking up it’s quite a thrill New view from the House of Trousers Soaring towers to keep us warm Keep the sodium burning bright Make our gadgets all perform Twinkling, flickering in the light Some of you have tried to stop it Luddites, NIMB...

Three months now and not a single peep As we endure the tourists and the weather Teddy’s in Khartoum, the rest of you asleep While a quick trip into Tescos seems to take forever. Summer is a two-edged sword in an idyll such as Seil We welcome all our visitors, our cottagers and such And though Lochs...

Is that it? Our best hope and chance To determine our future, Make our mark on the dance? Which hack won this tired race? Which spin doctor will suture Our fractured political space? Will anything change? I think not. The same shower’s in power And they’ve all lost the plot The gulf’s choked with oi...

On the web no-one knows you’re a dog So sign up as an internet star Get an avatar set, then start on your pet Themes in the old chatroom bar Hey, society’s gone down the tubes. You can spin and berate, Preach love then preach hate Just keep the dark forces at bay Your public will love you, caress an...

Teddy my dear, the remedy’s clear It’s a feed-in tariff you need Then when the wind blows the meter will go Backwards – though not with great speed I’ll say it again - in two thousand and ten The Board will buy power from you So if you go green it is easily seen You can afford your windpower debut.

As the drop to Winter steepens And shadows lengthen at midday So unspoken terror deepens Suffocates in shades of grey The declining year does metaphor For the fast approaching end of life He stares out blankly and remembers The happy decades with his wife Never one to think of heaven He knows this l...

Get your good life here now, pay for it later Get more containers onto that freighter Look at the windfarms spinning around Saving those nations otherwise drowned We’ll move to low carbon Build electric cars Talk to the Chinese Have energy Czars We’ll recycle our waste Fill our cavity walls Cycle to...

Great grey gale of Winter I met your brother in the Sound His grasping hand outstretched To greet the drowned White squall on the rocks I met your sister screaming Lost in foam and spindrift A nightmare dreaming Faint gleam of distant sun I met your lover crying Pale moon behind the clouds Thought y...

Ten million years the ferns fell in the seas Sank in the ooze of the Jurassic’s birth Sealing carbon deep in time Apes evolved, came down from trees Spoke, built machines to mine the earth Drilled deep in ancient slime Out it came, was set alight upon the breeze Ten million years used up in righteou...

The Sound of Luing
Is a wild tidal thing
And the fierce Corryvreckan flows free
Boats run aground
In yon Easdale Sound
But the Dogs takes me home for my tea.

Through The Square Window, November 2009 A marketing man in Pakistan Told Reuters news about a bomb That shook his office and aplomb ‘Body parts flew through the air And landed inside, over there Oh God, the sh*t has hit the fan’ :smashPC :smashPC :smashPC :smashPC :smashPC A Taliban in Pakistan Sa...

Take a look they said
You are the expert – tell us stuff
We want to hear

'I think you got it wrong'
He told them. 'Time to rethink'.
‘Get out’ they shouted.

Bodies disappear
The morgues are all empty now
Spam stock sky-rockets

So now it begins
The descent into Winter
Spindrift and darkness

It was a comment on the news that the Orange Lodge is going to support Labour in the forthcoming election to keep the Nats out.
