Today's poet

[Stef F]

Lost job just before XOTF, second time in one year
Start new job next thursday at Up and Running sports shop in Huddersfield.
Good luck Stef, everything crossed

Cool That should be an enjoyable job. I'll have a second pair of swoops if they sell them. Do you get commission?

How did you know; I've just finished a massive clear out and it triggered lots of unhappy and a few happy trips down memory lane.

Out with the old, in with the new; time to move on to a future of rose not blue

My sentiments exactly!...just need to sell my house! anybody fancy a 3 bedroom terrace? (with "character")

Some more good stuff on here tonight as always
Don't mean my stuff!

Goodbye

Merry finds some gainful

with some spare spondooli's!

Brilliant news Merry! The guys in my local Up and Running are great, very knowledgable, and you'll get some good discount!

Looking forward to it, start next thursday, be totally different to what i've done in the past, but sure i'll enjoy it.
Discount and commision would be good, and the smell of all them new shoes, love that, all mine don't smell too sweet

Er...no, picture felt tip pen on a few doors! and a kitchen which could be a "blank slate"....actually I am going to be moving to an upper floor flat Stef, with my two very noisy children!!!!...oh dear, not sure which strateges will work there!

Little freckles are cute
but very loud of foot
may need to strap
cotton wool to their tootsies
so the lady downstairs
doesn't have a breakdown!

such a poor verse but you get the picture...!!!!

Toxic Ape

What right has man to destroy this place,
His cement and metal grotesques in our face,
Toxic ape shitting in his own nest,
Whilst all the while killing the rest.

There'll be nothing here but water filled with waste,
Oceans barren acid killed and overfished and overfaced,
It may be to late to avoid destruction and change this all,
I hope i'm not the only one that sees our decline and fall.

So we the naked ape you see may have to start again,
Brought about by our greed we have caused too much pain,
If this happens then so be it the stories will survive,
So it will never happen again and the planet will be alive.

By Matt Harmston

Very well said Tri - my sentiments exactly. Thank you.

Nice! I liked this.
Ply her with the odd glass of wine, portion of casserole and cake, with a bit of luck she'll be deaf as a post and love the mini freckles
