A piece of wood

The little laptop is our Bible now

The scriptures are our blogs,the forums too.

The inquisition haunts on left and right.

Lord have mercy, give none second sight

Books are banned and messages retrieved

The neo nazis shout, the woke perceive

Banks are told,they must support free speech.

Nigel Garage bathesvon Dover beach

Hitler wants a blackboard,he will write

To all the world, as Satan’s taken fright.

The king has got a pay rise auntie’s billed

Satan strives once mote, the sin is will.

The academics writing books are sad

The students cannot read, the church is glad.

Can you trust your neighbours to be good?

Here is Jesus with a piece of wood

I pushed  my sisters up our quiet street

I remember riding on his back
It was summer; I was only two
He had an old tweed jacket full of smoke
Woodbines, they would probably kill you too

Walking with my sister in her pram
Mam looked as happy as a summer lark
My brothers were pretending to be soldiers
We walked along, right into the deep dark

A few years later Dad was sat there crying
They never told me he was very bad
Eight years old, I pushed the baby
My sister walked while clutching at my side

I was worried Grandad would be angry
Seeing us three coming up the lane
We usually went there only at the weekend
On, on, on, went my brain

Going back home it was the evening
The sun had gone ,time to go to bed
I pushed my little sisters up our street
Auntie told me Daddy was now dead

No more rides on his thin shoulder
No more walking in the flowery park
Only the anguish of our feelings
Only children weeping in the dark

When I was 28 my husband bought me a tin of lavender wax polish for my birthday.I do love lavender
After 45 years of marriage I found he liked me mainly because of my beauty. Of course I’d never really thought I was beautiful


When I was recovering from a serious operation ,he said,
You are not very house proud, are you? I could hardly walk
When he was near death he slept a lot in an armchair by my side.One afternoon he woke up and said in a very loud voice:
You’ve got a brilliant personality.
Then he went to sleep again.
When we were first married we were out in the country.We were in a lane with steep grassy banks so we lay down at the top and rolled down!
He rarely noticed if I went to the hairdresser until I had my hair cut very very short.He was annoyed because when it was long he liked to brush it in the evening.He could have tickled me with a feather duster instead but he refused.I didn’t have a feather duster but I am sure I could have bought one.
He used to bring me a cup of tea in bed until he could hardly walk.
After I had an eye operation I had no glasses for 6 months and for 3 months I had gas in my right eye so it was blind.We were in the car, approaching a junction and he said,Which way do I turn? I said,talk about the blind leading the blind
Just after that a friend rang up and said she was very upset she had to wear glasses.How horrible .I couldn’t see. even with glasses.It made me learn how self centered we are

Of little faith

The Bible as remembered when drunk

The still small choice
Samsung and Delilah
If only Eve had not bought an iPhone from apple
Yahoo punished Adam severely
Was Asus the son of God too?
God said, why are you here, you liar?
Elijah invented Intel,computers and chips. but not pizza
G-d on trial in Google Dock
I’ll be judge and I’ll be jury,said cunning old Fury
I have seen the Light on Google Drive
The Cloud of Unknowing is not a good place to save your poetry on.
He filed me under “wonder” on One Drive
One Drive,One G-d, One World
Where is Ogle Drive?
Yeshua did many lyricals.He was Leonard Cohen,we have found
Go over to Rome and be saved into the Angelic Host
He did raise my spirits but he didn’t say how manyxThe Bible as remembered when drunk
