Stories, Rhymes and Brain fallout.

  Wednesday, January 26th, 2020. As January draws to an end, we sit in our houses with lights and heating out and our masks on because of energy prices and foul breath. Russia is on the brink of annexing Ukraine which could mean all-out nuclear war with the United States if Joe Biden can remember where he put the keys to the Nuclear Codes. The only positive outcome could be that Putin would still allow Ukraine to take part in the Eurovision Song Festival.   Fearlessly Boris Johnson threatened Russia if it should invade Ukraine, Putin retaliated by buying the last two properties in central London that aren’t already in Russian ownership.   The E.U. has also issued threats to Putin, saying action on his part would mean sanctions and the creation of sub-committees to investigate further sanctions after first investigating the possibility to create a think tank that would work out suggestions of retaliatory actions. ( P.S. can we still get that gas) NATO sources say that Ukra...

  I thought I had talent,   I’ve let myself down, I thought I was funny,   but I’m more of a clown. I thought I was clever And had it worked out, But nobody listens That’s why I shout. It has taken me ages To get to this place But I know myself now And there’s no saving grace. So try to avoid me Just don’t get entwined In the day to day madness Of my rambling sad mind

  Distraction.Sept 20th 2021. Todays starting point for these few words I write is distraction and lack of concentration. Together, and without realising where we were heading, we have constructed a society where the ability to concentrate on the task at hand is not only almost impossible but (for most of us) not desired or expected.   We are constantly bombarded with sounds, memes and external influences that beg for our attention, our attention becomes so overworked that it becomes fragmented and loses sight of what’s important or what todays priorities should be.   Our ability to read, listen, absorb content and form an opinion about things is   extremely reduced if not totally destroyed.   Examples. What are we doing when we listen to music while scrolling through social media? Are we listening to music? Or scrolling through social media? Does the music matter? Are we listening to the text of the song? Are we trying to ‘get’ what the artist is trying to put ...

The chefs on the Telly Can go take a hike I’m dining tonight from a bag on a bike. I don’t have a kitchen No money for that But I do have a smart phone so I’ll download the app. I’ll get the grub that I need to survive one more day from a zero hours peddler of some ‘meal of the day’ .  

  Regrets. All the bad decisions. All the things I shouldn’t have done, but did. All the things I should have done but didn’t. All the people I tried to impress for no reason. All the times I cared too much about what others might think. All the real friends I forgot to thank. All the people I thought were friends but weren’t. All the opportunities for happiness I failed to see. All the things I acted on for the wrong reasons. All the times I didn’t say Sorry. All the times I didn’t say thank you. All the things I forgot to cherish. All the actions taken without thought. All the good thoughts that didn’t bring action. All the times I forgot myself. All the good that I easily forget.   All the things I left unsaid.

  Trees. I've never used a tree when I've needed to pee,  A bush or a shrub or a hedge maybe, but never a tree. Good things come in trees, or maybe threes as someone once said to me. I once made love to a bird up against a tree, she was no songbird but she did reach notes higher than me, but that was in my politically incorrect days as you can see. I've sat in a tree but never shat in a tree. I once had a discussion with a weeping willow, just to clear the air, the sadness was because of me. Now Greta Thunberg you might not be but the least you can do is plant a tree.  I love trees, there- it's out. I think of them with every breath I take, but hey that's me.

I had a socially distanced 'one-night stand' We wore surgical gloves and she held my hand She took me home threw me on the bed went to the bathroom then she said "I'll be in the bath, it's safer there" "Now get on ZOOM and show me you care."
