Social Distancing

April 2, 2020 – 11:50 am

        I’ve found a way to keep people at bay When having a walk, my one-a-day, I will just add that when I gad Cold weather tends to ‘shrink’ a tad.

Self Isolation

April 1, 2020 – 7:14 am

I haven’t visited here for ages and a lot has changed. Still, let’s carry on regardless – in self isolation.     Reflections on self isolation I’ve looked at the books I’ve dusted the books I’ve looked at the books in a mirror I’ve looked at the grass I’ve counted the grass I’ve looked at […]

BLINKERS

November 1, 2015 – 11:48 am

People distress me who are pressed and compressed No matter what their age So pray don’t depress me, please be progressed So says this silly old sage. . . . . .

JACK AND JILL …

September 22, 2015 – 11:30 am

… a risk assessment. Jack and Jill went up the hill (already I have an impending sense of disaster. How steep is the hill? Has it been checked for trip hazards? Are there any paedophiles in the area?) To fetch a pail of water. (Oh dear. Has the pail been sanitised? How heavy is it […]

SOCIAL MEDIA

September 21, 2014 – 7:02 am

(Sex, drugs and rock and troll) Good and bad Happy and sad Commotions, devotions Silly emoticons Twitter tried And Facebook fried Adored, deplored (Worst of all ignored!) Whatever you say It’s here to stay.

PANTS!

February 28, 2014 – 7:21 pm

I’m just popping out, I’m not going far, I wonder where my car keys are? Beside the bed? Inside the shed? I’m finding all this very bizarre. This is going to drive me quite mad, Today is beginning to go real bad – Now I’ve looked by the sink And I’m starting to think I’ll […]

Georgina Smythe

February 12, 2014 – 5:44 pm

I avoid Georgina at number 20, Although she’s a member of the cognoscenti And she’s interesting and likes to rabbit, Conversation’s hampered by her painful habit. Points are made with her walking cane With prods and pokes that all cause pain, And if she’s in the mood ‘irate’ Survival depends on armour plate. So I […]

ANNA PHYLACTIC

January 25, 2014 – 5:37 pm

Here’s a poem I wrote ages ago. I thought it deserved another outing. Anna Phylactic liked to give shocks Wore on one ear a brightly striped sock Her singular hair she dyed a warm pink Rubber plunger on breasticle [think sink]. She plaited her toes and removed all her nails Dressed in a kilt and […]

GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF IDOLATRY

May 14, 2013 – 10:50 am

Going shopping and whilst hopping, She spied her own reflection. She checked her bum, oh this is fun. She gazed with much affection. “Avast behind!” broke her peace of mind, She glared in all directions, Then saw the source, oh yes, of course! A pirate of fair complexion. She began to flirt and twirled her […]

A PAIR OF DITTIES

January 31, 2013 – 7:05 pm

CONTRARIETY Hidden away in a secret valley somehow keeping warm Developing and controlling the uncontrollable brain storm Safely separate from all the peeps and content to be alone Yet placing very carefully the makings of stepping stones. WHEN TO CAST A CLOUT There are signs that the season of hibernation is coming to an end […]
