I was queuing for Eternity

Visible to anyone in the world

I was queuing for Eternity,

When someone grabbed my place.

I thought it rather rude of them,

But did not grudge the space.

Doctor, Doctor

Visible to anyone in the world
"Doctor, Doctor, I keep having this weird idea that I'm a piece of awkward luggage." The doctor said, "Nothing to worry about. I get a lot of these difficult cases."

Birdsong

That's my adrenaline thrush.

Who sings his heart out at the break of day.

And in the evening lulls my heart to sleep.

I went to the Doctor

Visible to anyone in the world

I went to the doctor. Before I could even speak he begged, "Please, please no more. I don't want to know if you think you are almonds, brazils and cashews."

Investment Opportunity

Visible to anyone in the world

Regular readers will know I have many start-ups to my credit. Not all have succeeded but in the true spirit of fen-land entrepreneurship, I have not let that hold back the floodgates of innovation.

Our latest endeavour is a company merchandising high quality colourfast dyes. I urge you to invest for the long term. This is a company with plenty of stain power.

Grasping the Nettle

Visible to anyone in the world

As a child I was often stung by nettles, but I never grasped one on purpose.

Tonight, walking home, I found my way blocked by a car drawn across the pavement. Perhaps the driver didn't know about prams, wheelchairs, people with walking sticks, I don't know who else. 

But maybe the driver was a sort of Gwendolen Fairfax, declaring "I am glad to say I have never stepped on a pavement".

What could I do to protest? 

I looked around.

Luckily I saw some very vigorous nettles growing very close. So I grasped them, pulled some up, and strewed them on the windscreen.

Did it hurt? Yes, but it was a good kind of hurt.

People tend to assume all Transylvanian aristocrats are vampires. That's wrong on so many counts.
