  • Holy Night.

    I now realise politicians only lie when they open their mouths. Silent Night. Silent night, holy night, fireworks explode out of sightAmbulance racing flashing blue light, in the city there’s been a fightBlood it flows like communion wine, of holiness though not a signA homeless man killed with a broken bottleGreed in his sports car Read more

  • Deadly Fungus.

    This isn’t me I’ve written about, but you all know him, her or one of their kind, there’s enough of them out there to go round. Shades of Dylan here again and possibly a bit of Woody Guthrie. I started off thinking of Guthrie’s “Mean Talking Blues” I’m always afraid of plagiarism though, so ended Read more

  • Please Put a Penny in a Rich Man Hat.

    No Doubt the expected answer to this prompt is Christmas lunch. When I was little I suffered terrible migraines, usually on Sundays, doctors said it was stress of the thought of school on Monday, where as you have probably already read in previous posts I had to endure lot of bullying. These migraines combined with Read more

  • Too Much of Nothing.

They’re not bothered about they’re neighbours, they’re not bothered about the litter they leave, they’re not bothered about the dog mess they don’t pick up, and of course these Read more

  • It’s That Word Absolute!

    I’m absolutely certain no one will want to read what I have just spent half a hour writing (For too deep) I have saved it though, if anyone is interested. So let’s have some of my usual drivel, here’s my answer to the prompt . 1, The English football team will never win Wimbledon. 2. Read more

  • The animal kingdom.

    Spirituality has a massive impact on my life, it is possibly the thing that scares me the most, second to greed, and these two things are linked inextricably. The thought that people can be manipulated and controlled so easily is obnoxious to me. The sooner we learn to control our own destiny the better. It’s Read more
