Random and surreal poetry satire and short stories.

Basement, Debasement, Abasement.

The prompt today is actually quite apt, I’m exhausted, and could do with winding down but instead I have to go out to a charity meeting.
The reason I’m exhausted I’ve been clearing out our basement, otherwise known as “Tip” That word basement made me think of two other words both of which I’ve been subject to quite often, “Debasement” (Reducing the quality, value of something or someone) “Abasement” to behave in a way that belittles or degrades).
So being tired tonight, I’ve put on something from the archive about what my wife does to wind down.

BOOK CLUB.


If you like to read a novel,
Or even a heavy tome.
The book worm book club,
Is where you’ll feel at home.

The first book recommended,
Was by the authoress Miss Page Turner.
A really graphic novel,
And for Page a real good money earner.

Then Based in the nether regions,
In the south of old Norway.
It brought a tear to all our eyes,
The nail in the Banister, By R Stornaway.

If you are out for coffee,
You’ll get some funny looks,
If you’re sat reading Fifty Shades,
One of the spiciest of books.

Toy Story by Warren Peace,
Is one of the greatest tales.
Nearly as Good as Dopy Mick,
That was about a whale.

It’s not just fiction we all read,
Sometimes we really go to town,
We read Isaac Newton’s Gravity,
I couldn’t put it down.

When talking about these novels,
We can’t forget Charlotte Bronte.
But I prefer more down to earth,
Something more like The Full Monty.

The Full Monty had done the rounds,
Being read by many others.
By the time it got to me,
I had to read it without its covers.

So their are many books,
Of different types and sizes,
But every now and then, get of your bum,
And do some exercises.

All words Meadowhead Bard.
