  • In Debt We Are Swimming.

    If the story of life was written as a book, I would read it over and over again, and probably still not understand it. One thing though I would learn is never pay more for anything than you have to, especially if it makes others rich for doing basically nothing. When I was a kid,… Read more

  • A Nonviolent Book.

    One of my favourite books is called “The Trustee From the Toolroom” by Neville Shute” The main protagonist shares my first name, he is also a model engineer as am I, so it would be easy to shoehorn myself into that character. You have two for the price of one today, my planned poem (The… Read more

  • Animalistic.

    We don’t have a pet or really want one, We do have Logan the grand dog, of whom you can read about in the annals of my blog. Animalistic I wouldn’t have a tyrannosaur that terrifying dinosaurA goldfish well maybe. But their language is so poor“Stick insects”, some one said “They’re fun it is oh… Read more

  • The Cobbler

    ”I make shoes for everyone even you, while I still go barefoot” From the track “I and I” on Bob Dyland’s album “Infidels” That line has a resonance with me, I am always doing things for people in the neighbourhood, and don’t usually ask for anything in return, and rarely is anything offered. Recently on… Read more

  • Hop Skip and a Jump.

    I’m nor really a sports fan, so this prompt was a bit tough for me. So I’ve just done a bit of silliness. I remember many years ago me and my soon to be wife driving along a country road on holiday. We passed a small airport, there was a sign that read “Airport restaurant”… Read more

I live in Never Never Land, but I’m not Peter PanIt’s the neighbours that aren’t grown up, and just can’t understandBonfires when washings out, loud music way past midnightBarking dogs, and honking horns, even the occasional fight Mr Jones he doesn’t work, but… Read more

  • I Don’t Have Two Heads But!

    People don’t realise it’s quite a challenge putting on a new post every day. Especially when one is prone to mood swings and bouts of depression. Trying to come up with something funny is particularly difficult when one is low. I’ve had a complaint regarding this from a Mr Francois Felenon W.U.P So just for… Read more

  • The Great Circle of Life

    I do have a morning routine, of course I do, but no one wants to know about the habits of a four ring old Bart like me. So today I’ve written about a much more important routine. THE GREAT CIRCLE OF LIFE. I can hear the beating of my mothers heart, as I wait for… Read more

  • ”Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum”

    ”What aspect do you think makes a person unique?” What an absolutely ridiculous question. “Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum” I smell the blood of AI has come. Not even the dumbest human could come up with that question. We are all unique, no two people are the same, in thought, in appearance, in attitude, anything. Usually though when people… Read more

  • Carved in Granite.

    I would like named after me, a huge container, a kind of “Room 101” where anything and everything violent could be deposited, never to show its ugly face again. CARVED IN GRANITE Anything named after me, would have to be carved in graniteAfter the jokers have shuffled the pack they’ll be nought else on our… Read more
