Daylight Savings Time Ends – November 5th 2023 means...

discombobulated, harried, and lobotomized

Remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Don't stop believing in the strength that lies inside,

Argh Daylight Savings Time – March 14th, 2021

Once again, yours truly
dishes out his regular dose

(albeit harmless) look
regarding feeble effort I undertook.

Don't forget...

When Monty didn’t return to the town
in sorrow the love-struck Monique was drowned,
and townsfolk clucked when they saw her tears,

a young fellow who called himself Monty,

This is the place the ’punchers come
when it is time to drink their pay,
ride in from the hilly rangelands
to forget cattle for a day.

Norma in the kitchen will cook
beef and spuds for this roving horde,

If someone continually gets knocked down
Eventually they will give up the ghost
If around every corner is more negativity

What the Butler Heard
Extract from a memoir

Lord Illustrious Penge of Lampwicker Hall,
Welcomed local Toffs, to his Name-Dropper ball.
Noses upturned with a touch of conceit,
Hob-Knobbing with gentry and gentleman elite.
Colonel recalled, his luncheon with Churchill,
Discussing backbenchers...

My auntie’s best friend Liselotte
Adores making sweet panna cotta
Auntie’s over the moon
Grabs an enormous spoon

Poor auntie starts putting on weight
She steps on the scales
Then curses...

into low double digits
fire breathing friendly

yours truly snuggling

cockles and muscles

atavistic visitations hover
