I was queuing for Eternity,
When someone grabbed my place.
I thought it rather rude of them,
But did not grudge the space.
I am Captain of this boat.
Without me it wouldn't float.
Has it crossed the road. Or not?
Procrastination. It's not something you can put off.
Please accept my apologies for lateness.

Been there, done that.

Measuring rod.
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. 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."
From the clockpit of my craft
I see enternity stretch fore and aft.
Of all the animals at the picnic the bears were the most intoxicated. Everyone sensed trouble was bruin.
I went to the doctor. "Doctor," I said, "Help me!" I think I'm a packet of biscuits and I'm going to be eaten with cheese." The doctor said: "You're crackers."
I went to the doctor: "Doctor, doctor, every night I dream that my family are all flying mammals." The doctor shrugged. "You're bats."
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.
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.
Our AEF is planning a new edition, this time with illustrations. A couple of example daffynitions...

My dog, sheesh! Into everything! Such a nosy barker.
Forged coins. I think they should be stamped out.
Whin I took my botany gorse I got a furze class degree.
Trousers of the world, turn out your pockets! You have nothing to lose but your change!
I hate dining with Croesus.
You can't see food properly,
On gold plates.
