KELSEY BEARS
I got your cards that you bought me, ignored them
Because I thought calling would cause me a boredom
And of course Im ashamed to admit
That every birthday wished me further away
From your midst til I couldnt face taking the risk
I guess I lost my faith a little bit
But then I realised a fundamental basic
More than any other you encouraged me to be creative
So it might quite belated, but I love you, Margaret and David
The Kelsey Bears
You were with me in my first days
But then I shut myself away during the worst days
A half-baked reason why Im worth cake
But now evelen star birthday is part of my wordplay
And you bought me a calligraphy set
Im ashamed to say I havent done calligraphy yet
I was a little perplexed and treated with neglect
And yet now I make my living fiddling with text
Some of your gifts still bring back images
The little set of carve farmyard miniatures
The tree was my favourite piece
And it still is when I play with my niece
So yeah, Ive done myself a favour at least
Now Im back on the rails and Im taming the beast
In a similar way to how my birthday cake did
Its time for you two to be celebrated
So it might be quit belated, but I love you, Margaret and David
Photography was obviously a hobby each of you wanted me to do
I never got into it properly
But now I love it, kind of like a kid with broccoli
My tastes took time to develop in the dark room
And now I cant do without it, honestly
You offered an option and I made you feel youd been forgotten
Now the seasons hot and Eveshams lost
Some leaves and blossoms but lets speak a little
Lets speak a little more often
