Dear Annie

I thought I’d better write to you before too long otherwise you will forget that I exist altogether and that is something I do not want to happen although I have to admit that it would not be the end of the world really since I’m not seen you for 20 years and haven’t heard your voice since I went deaf two years ago so we can’t even talk on the phone now but would it be worth doing Skype when I can’t hear you I suppose I might be able to lip read that would be one advantage of it just let me know what you think because I don’t really know what is the very best thing for us to do now as we are getting to the end of our lives and we may not always be here for each other as it were obviously was I mean in a virus speaking

Well I want to I wouldn’t even be able to hear a virus squeaking now lol et alone speaking

That was a very long sentence but was it grammatical all the way through I spoke very quickly because I was hoping that some mistakes will be made in the translation and it would come out in a glorious jumble of crazy words with in fact there were so fewer errors then I normally get when I’m speaking carefully:

what do you think about that?

I can’t sit here all day writing letters to you so I must close now and hope that you are well and I’ve got plenty of water if you run out. We’ve all got plenty of water now we’ve even had a flood.

Thank god I don’t live in the middle of York

Is it impertibent of me

To ask a man to climb a tree

To  kill ?the squirrel for his nuts

To ask a snail if he’s got guts?

Is it polite to eat quails eggs

And ask a beetle for his legs?

I think it’s  cute to call men blokes

I love the smell of their tweed coats.

I wish I were in primary school

Learning logic’s cool yet cruel

I never learned damn all myself

The Oxford entrance test by stealth

And if you failed to pass their test

You’ll only read the news at best

And it gets worse for if you fail

You’ll  never handle royal mail.

Yes to be at all worthwhile

Go to Oxford and beguile

Refuse to leave until you win

Failing entrance is a sin.

God will never accept you

The best way out- just join a zoo

Regents Park is very fine.

But it’s not on the Central line

Animals feel they’re not the best

And then they fear what priests confessed

Try for art school learn to see

Van Gogh’s a scientist set him free!
