It's Saturday and the sunshine
which taunted my office windows all week
has been replaced by rain.
Brutish British Summer Time
plays its nasty tricks again

There's nothing like...

There's nothing like shopping for dulling the spirit
Making you realise comfort food had a price
That it wasn't just your mother's smile you inherited
when you can't fit into your usual size

Savile Enquiry

Ever heard of the Salem witch trials?
We've have our own version today
Every 70s star of a certain age
Accused of behaving in an inappropriate way

Not unrequited

She holds out her arms -
To comfort you when you’re blue

She holds out her arms -
A ragdoll needs love too

Little Miss Know it all

You stand there, so young, so wise
Watching the world through mocking teenaged eyes
