  • Let’s Go for a Little Walk, “Down The Smoke Rings of My Mind”

    At seventy one years old, I’ve had lots of pairs of shoes, I sat counting them all trying to remember a favourite, I counted one hundred and fifty one and a half pairs, but it’s a strange thing, I can’t remember ever having only one foot. I asked a friend to help with songs with… Read more

  • Boy With a Moon and Star On His Head.

    The supposition here in this prompt request is what physical gift? I find that a rather shallow and mundane request. I will indulge in a bit of shallow thought before todays poem, because it’s unusual and some may find it amusing. The best gift ever bought me was from my wife it was an angle… Read more

  • Budget and Fudge It.

    My mother used to say, “Cut your suit according to the cloth” Which meant only spend what you have. If you are walking past a shop, and see in the window, something nice, but useless and you don’t have enough cash in your pocket, you don’t buy it. Enter Mr Bankers favourite toy, the credit… Read more

  • Do Not Dilute Me Oh My Darling.

    Looking on from some foreign country, it probably looks like we here in the UK are making a pretty good job of holding onto our culture. The trooping of the colour, Black Rod opening parliament, The Edinburgh Tattoo, even fox hunting is refusing to die. All the latter though aren’t where true culture lies, true… Read more

  • The Law is an Ass, and so am I.

    “Fools making laws for the breaking of jaws, and the sound of the keys as they clink, and there’s no time to think” From Bob Dylan’s “No Time to Think” From the album “Street Legal” Enough of the serious of the last week or so, back to my nonsense, but it does have a sting… Read more

  • Not as Advertised.

    I would have my biography titled “Not as Advertised” Because I’m a man, and men are expected to macho, tattoos, swaggering walk, bulging muscles etc, etc. I’m none of the above, I am in the very strictest meaning of the word a “Gentleman” you won’t find aggression or violence here. So on the theme of… Read more

  • Here’s to the People who Built your Wealth and fought your wars.

    The first thing I want to say in answer to this prompt is that it’s ageist. It assumes bloggers parents would have been alive at their age e.g young. At the age I am both my parents had died, my father just two weeks after my mother. They had both worked from the age of… Read more

  • The Law of the Jungle.

    I feel I must apologise my posts have been quite sombre recently. My intention today was for a a bit more of my nonsense, and I did try, honest! I planned and actually started writing about rescinding the law of gravity. Some how though it didn’t work out and the demise of our world won… Read more

  • The House of Stainless Steel

    My little verse today inspired from a Bob Dylan song, “Don’t Fall Apart on me tonight” from the album Infidels. I ain’t too good at conversation, girl, so you might not know exactly how I feel but if I could, l’d bring you to the mountaintop, girl, and build you a house made out of… Read more
