Welcome

 I hope you enjoy reading from this collection

as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Blockhead

'No-one but a blockhead ever wrote except for money'

OK so I'm a bockhead.

Female sex drive

Not God or Nature would risk assigning

the same sexual urge to women as men

because if women craved coition

they'd be pregnant always, not now and then

and Earth would be swamped by humanity.

(though actually it's what's happening)

Film night

It was an old silent film piano-ed at the stage

showing in the evening at the local village hall.

The audience was obviously old or middle aged

and enjoyed a glass of wine or two before the opening call.

The plot was very simple - a happy marriage threatened

by a beautiful siren woman and his probable adultery.

The acting was expressive as the tension slowly darkened;

his murder of his wife became a definite possibility.

But the final happy ending caught nobody napping

and everybody suddenly stood up clapping.

Clumsy in the morning

----------------------------

a little uncoordinated

prone to drop things

often spill things

liable to stumble

and sometimes say the wrong thing, darling.

So many worries could be obliterated

by paying to sort them out for sure 

but that would only exacerbate

the feelings of inadequacy of the poor.

CHEAP

What, these days, can you buy for 5p ?

Well, after reductions at Sainsbury

a loaf of sliced bread actually !

Not cheap enough ! Because, you see,

the birds in my garden will get it for free.

My God, she stunned in her white bikini

glowing against her deeply tanned body

(although it might have been better hinted

then having a smudge of pubic hair printed

and embroidered nipples aren't so seemly)

and then I realised - it's not a bikini.
