Conley Pratt slouched over the horn
of a battered and trail-worn saddle,
been on the run for several hours now
after being caught rustling cattle.

His side ached, caked in fresh blood

All Losing It, the lights go down 
Signals a start to the Countdown

But the manager was an idle fat slob
He’d put in expenses sheets for work he hadn’t done
And was out of the door in front of everyone

But...

Unfortunately on her head

the ghost there was, an obnoxious louse.
he’d sneak up on me like a mouse,
my hair he’d touse, my hair he’d touse.

My best underwear, he hides,
he’s a pervert, I surmise,

No blame on you..
No blame on you woman,
To stand and yell,
No blame on you lady,
To shout and fight!!

Don't walk away without me,

For you;ll always know where I'll be

Anger- what is it?
  what color is it?
And, what can we liken it to?

Is it the thing that we feel before counting to TEN?
Or is it why many Buddhists reflect in Zazen?
Could it be...

I got up it was way past noon
Thought I’d go for a walk.
Then, it started to rain
I’m talking heavy rain
The rain that soaks you rain.

I saw my neighbour Mrs Pratt
She was out walking her little...

A SAD MEMORY

On a lonely dark night

There sat my lovely oh so right

How I long to hold her tight

As she is in my arms I'll never be all—right

A SAD MEMORY

And wears vest 11 for TeamGB, has feelers.
