It was written plain and simple, so there can be no excuse,
that the pickles in this...

As I awake this morning
I remember a Barney song 
for my more oppositionally misaligned daughter.

I love you
and you love me
even if I couldn't realign my four B's,
Brain,
and Branches,
and Belly,
and Butt, 
these four aligned
good government.

If you...

We have been waiting ohhh, sooo long and now my fellows the time

I grew up in Bath in the nineteen nineties
wearing short shorts over tighty whities,
while Bath were champions of English Rugby,

Did they not care? 
“I am glad I said no to the offer Sebastian made...

It's strange how life reminds me of papa's old beetle.
Well taken care of, beautifully washed,
And treated with respect,
Only to reward him with a box and silence.

We run about, dodging the men in shorts,

ake me back to the 80s,
with top gun all the rage.

and Ceefax holiday page.

We played hide and seek
Running around the park.
And a game called british bulldogs,
It really was a lark.

Then there was scrumping apples
And getting chased off by the man.

Can you hear the melody the wind breathes
into the branches brown and green and some black
Its like the familiar noise your nose makes
when you have a cold that whistling so faint

The red blue black birds...

In late on a late night from a long journey,
Barely in the door
And she's telling funny stories of her own misfortunes;
The comedy of errors that harried her homewards.


The young woman who will always be our...

dogs on vacation filling up the beach with warm barks
dobermans, german shepherds, prissy poodles that cause sparks
husky and rottweiler are sharing a purple lounge chair in the sun
excited corgis begin a volley ball game; this...
