All the kids loved their mums. Except for Trude.

Well, dogs need food.


All the kids respected their ancestors. Except for Josh.

He felt his pets deserved some nosh.


All the kids loved their grans. Except for Joe.

He didn't want the police to know.

All Dad's brothers had remarried. He told me in a sensitive way, with a lot of nuance.

The Birds Around My Bed

Visible to anyone in the world

Don't go, said the crow

Stay, said the jay

Don't rush, said the thrush

Don't die, said the pie

Starting when, said the wren

Out of luck, said the duck

Gone. said the swan.

Giuseppe Verdi,

Was a big scaredy.

He only wrote Aida,

Because he saw a spaida.

When they brought the finger bowl, I didn't know the etiquette. Luckily someone lent me a hand.

If I should vote

Visible to anyone in the world

If I should vote, remember this of me

That according to The Representation of the People Act (1983)

My vote is cast, and cannot be revoked by any earthly sway.

(Unless the Royal Mail loses it on the way.)

The Reverse Domino Effect

Visible to anyone in the world

One person picks themself up from the ground

And someone close by sees, and does the same.

Dusts themself down, and carries on.


A third picks up the same idea:

Defeat is not defeat; and copies yet again

The resolution they have seen before.


And so it carries on; one act of courage

Can be infectious in a chain, and at the end

We all may rise again with pride.

Here's another crazy idea. Some Swiss prof claims if you want to slim, then between dawn and dusk you should eat only cereals. Honestly. It's called "The day, the muesli diet".
