When I Suspected

© Spike Milligan

There will be a time when it will end.
Be it parting
Be it death
So each passing minute with you

Welcome Home

© Spike Milligan

Strange trial.
No judge.
No jury.

Unto Us...

© Spike Milligan

Somewhere at some time
They committed themselves to me
And so, I was!
Small, but I WAS!

Values '67

© Spike Milligan

Pass by citizen
don't look left or right
Keep those drip dry eyes straight ahead
A tree? Chop it down- it's a danger

Two Children

© Spike Milligan

Two children (small), one Four, one Five,
Once saw a bee go in a hive,
They'd never seen a bee before!
So waited there to see some more.

The Soldiers at Lauro

© Spike Milligan

Young are our dead
Like babies they lie
The wombs they blest once
Not healed dry

The Lion

© Spike Milligan

If you're attacked by a Lion
Find fresh underpants to try on
Lay on the ground quite still
Pretend you are very ill
Keep like that day after day
Perhaps the lion will go away

The Dog Lovers

© Spike Milligan

So they bought you
And kept you in a
Very good home
Cental heating

The ABC

© Spike Milligan

'Twas midnight in the schoolroom
And every desk was shut
When suddenly from the alphabet
Was heard a loud "Tut-Tut!"

Teeth

© Spike Milligan

English Teeth, English Teeth!
Shining in the sun
A part of British heritage
Aye, each and every one.

Summer Dawn

© Spike Milligan

My sleeping children are still flying dreams
in their goose-down heads.
The lush of the river singing morning songs
Fish watch their ceilings turn sun-white.

So Fair is She

© Spike Milligan

So fair is she!
So fair her face
So fair her pulsing figure

Pussy-cat

© Spike Milligan

Pussy-cat
What are vices?
Catching rats
And eating mices!

Philip Le Barr

© Spike Milligan

Philip Le Barr,
Was knock down by a car,
On the road to Mandalay.
He was knocked down again

Porridge

© Spike Milligan

Why is there no monument
To Porridge in our land?
It it's good enough to eat,
It's good enough to stand!

On the Ning Nang Nong

© Spike Milligan

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There's a Nong Nang Ning

My Sister Laura

© Spike Milligan

My sister Laura's bigger than me
And lifts me up quite easily.
I can't lift her, I've tried and tried;
She must have something heavy inside.

Mirror, Mirror

© Spike Milligan

A young spring-tender girl
combed her joyous hair
'You are very ugly' said the mirror.
But,

Me

© Spike Milligan

Born screaming small into this world-
Living I am.
Occupational therapy twixt birth and death-
What was I before?

Maveric

© Spike Milligan

Maveric Prowles
Had Rumbling Bowles
That thundered in the night.
It shook the bedrooms all around
