Just remember what the score is, Captain Von Schitzenpants. You ARE the weakest link, Apprentice. Goodbye.

Regrets

To be sure
Take the mirror to my lips,
(Your lips)
For you see I never said
'I love you enough', that
was my crime

Hold my hand,take my pulse,
my heart will start again.
For I shall surely live
If only for a moment
To say this to you
one more time.

Feeling Left out

Now that I am old and past it

Of the life cycle of a Flea.

Poor old Mark Carney, having to sit through that load of baloney. He looked about as comfortable as the man who comes home where his wife gets him to take tea with her new best friend she met shopping in the mall. His mistress is as surprised to see him as he her.

Retail therapy for me equates to needing it after going to the shops however one place I d like is the Oxfam book shop in Shrewsbury Here's todays book booty

Heseltine at the Tory conf:

"Fascists of the 30s are back... Trump's language coincides with words here... The immigrant has replaced the Jew as the problem. We must make clear we will never have any part in the populist extremism of Farage... We don't need Trump's mouthpiece anywhere near No. 10.”

the trees bend down to greet you,
may the world gently treat you,
the sun warmly heat you
and the dark when it comes,
As it will, never defeat you.

Thank you Rachel but all a long time ago thirty five years in fact and in a purely unspooky way the come back to you the story never ends

in the microscope
Of memory
Outside the bus shelter
Waving farewell as if
on the eve of battle
As the rain pecks
her porcelain bones
back into polaroid times.

I love the fact that at this time of year every squirrel one encounters appears to be attempting to solve the puzzle of Rubik's Cube
