These are diary entries in the style of Tony Hancock who recited the following in one of his radio shows:

"Oh wondrous moon with silver sheen

That floats on high above East Cheam.

O'er dale and hill and through the mist,

Two o'clock Friday: Chiropodist."

                                                              Comedy still missed by many of us.

          

 

I comfort-ate my way all day
To try to drive the blues away.
Too many sweets my lips did pass,
Six o'clock Monday: Weight Watchers' class.

Exquisite garden full of flowers,
I sit and doze away the hours
Enchanted by those bird refrains,
Midday Today: Man clearing the drains.

I hold your image in my mind,
A deeper love I'll never find.
Aspects of your lovely face,
Thursday: Must buy trout and plaice.

A story I read made me feel good,
Things turned out just as they should
The sort of plot where all things click,
It's Friday and the cat's been sick.
