Illness is designed to slow us down

Illness is a plot to slow us down

when God sees we are about to catch him up.
His face is covered by a thoughtful frown…
till he bestows with love the poisoned cup.

For speed is alien to the human soul
we have to live as slowly as hearts beat.
If rushing on we may miss our life’s goal.
Running down some long and rain-filled street.

Step by step across the dangerous flood
On stones placed there by patient long gone men.
With care,perception guides us to the good
but haste leads often to a tiger’s den.

Beware impulsive speeding in your mind
For out of this come many acts unkind

All day breakfast

I have got more and more incontinent.

Do stop admiring Europe

Why do the government tell us to eat more fruit and veg?

To help evacuate he Common Market from our bodies

Why do the government not have enough beds in hospitals?

They can’t all go to sleep at once!

Why do we have corridor care in our hospitals?

We have to have care everywhere soon it will be in the toilets and they will say: well you’ve got an ensuite bathroom

Is Britain the best country in the world?

It’s the best one for an all-day breakfast. That embodies the bad logic we English enjoy so much all day breakfast is a contradiction in terms

Doing evil things is bad for you. Is that a surprise?

I don’t think anyone would disagree with this except the people that I’m thinking of

Doing wicked things harms you and the person you injure but also it creates consternation and suffering in a broader circle

Many of us try very hard to lead a good life and it’s difficult to understand the criminal minds of people in power

Killing a young man like Alex Pretti

It’s unspeakable and I’m so sorry for people in the USA living under the present government

I know they voted for Donald Trump but I don’t suppose they imagined it will be like this.
