Visiting hour

I would have come to see you but the cat bit my nose so I went to A&E.

I have a phobia about hospitals

I totally forgot.

I thought it was Sunday

You owe me £2.50

I can’t think what to say to you

I am afraid of putting my foot in it

The flower shop was sold out

I had an urgent phone call.

The tide turns and life alters

Have  you ever had a dream,
That you were all alone?
Have you lived with someone handsome,
With a heart like a cold stone?
Have you drowned in deep,cold rivers,
And been lost in shadowed caves?
Have you lived with too much fusion,
Till you drowned in ghostly waves?
The waves run down the seashore,
Then up they come once more.
The tide turns and life alters..
Deep on that ocean floor.
You were so beautiful and silent,
Like a sword without its sheath.
I  wish I’d let you take me,
The way you took away my breath

No cobbles stones

There are no cobbles in the back street now.

No grass grows in the cracks

No frogs in pools,no yellow weeds

i wish we could go back.

The cat would sit beside the gate

She killed the budgie how we cried

Now I am so lonely here

Some times I wish I’d died.

My brother clambered up high walls

I watched him from below

i admired his bravery

Now I am alone

Google Street View is too clear

There are none left here for me

Deep down in the earth

Katherine's avatarHow my heart speaks

Cold dull winters bring us close to death
The blood grows thick and scarcely does it move
The worms may shudder deep down in the earth

This damp coldness presses out our breath
The frost and ice, the memory delude
Cold dull winters bring us close to death

Do we need the sun to give us worth?
Low in oxygen, the mind’s confused
The worms have nightmares deep down in the earth

Should we pause, these issues to address?
In this Lockdown, where should we confess?
Cold dull winters bring us close to death

Wonder now what makes our voices terse
With no priests, who shall this poor world bless?
The worms may sleep deep down inside the earth

On each other,let us not intrude
Let all loving kindness be our food
Cold dull winters bring us close to death
Like worms that slumber deep down in the earth

No party happened

It was not a party.It was MI 5 in a play wearing disguises.

It was some tourists who got lost.

It was Boris’s extended family front Turkey.

It was an illusion.Or delusion.

I never noticed any one in the garden They need rape alarms.

The Downing St Murders.

It was a lot of patients from A and E looking for beds.

It was a ghost meeting.

It was the Resurrection of the Dead Jokes

See home and defy

A botched plot never fails

Who is she?The cat’s another.

Too much veracity killed the plot.

Where are today’s Falklands?

What is wrong with World Cruise?

Why not spend half term in Estonia?

They used to say, see Rome and die.Now see Kviv. Don’t fly.Try a war ship with Russian menu.

Yes you will be the star of the school gate parents!

He had to go to the parties

He had to see if anyone was breaking the rules by attending.

This is a paradox.

There were people there he needed to see urgently and it was convenient

He ia a spy.

He missed his wife he really needed comfort and he had lost his teddy bear

Wind her up

Daddy’s dead.Daddy”s dead

Mother’s  lost her motor

Wind her up with her big key

Mother don’t you hate her?

He got away, he did she said

Now she has no motor

She gave us sugar on our bread

Sandwich, butter,sugar.

She said she wished that she were dead

I could hardly guess a word she said

In her grave she would be laid.

No more a wife,no more a maid

How to save her children five

Mourn with the sorrowing mother.

She cleared the ash and cleaned the grate

Iit the fire and burned with hate

Oh.mother.mother,we are late

Don’t burn us up,we are your fate

Grieve with us, oh, Mammy

Wind her up,wind her up,my brother.

She may be sad she may be dead

She is still our Mother

Once she was a happy lass

Climbed up from the gutter.

She played Chopin then but never again

Wail for the single mother.

With children five can she survive?

Pray for the lonely widow.

God took all her joy and more

I don’t knock on a church door

Satan’s coming with the score

Come ye back,oh Mammy

The ellipse line

i circled London every day.

from Euston Square to Notting Hill

While I I meditate and pray

Humbly here to find God’s will.

i am his servant and his maid.

May he travel on the tube

What clothes to wear oh let us try

the hidden meanings may intrude

Can anyone be psychotic?

I became transiently psychotic in the hospital.I believed for 4 hours that a nurse was going to kill me.

In reality it was the doctor .

I still don’t believe I am dead.Did he raise me ?

We get paranoid when we feel nobody cares about us.This is common in us older folk .

Please don’t commit me to the bin.

Love and/or sex or,….

In the Guardian today

My boyfriend does not keep butter in the fridge

Maybe he is going to massage you with best butter tonight.

My boyfriend does not eat meat,

My girlfriend thinks I am obese

Never mind,you can spell.

I did Greats at Oxford

Try doing great next time

I have never been in love

I said the signpost is very small.

You are very cuddly

That is my cat,Beryl

I am not called Beryl.

No but but the cat is.

Is it female?

No it’s neutral.

Where is the cat’s mother?

With the cat’s father.

My boyfriend likes Russian vines.

How about Russian Invasions,?

Even the vines are invasive!

Do you want to go to Lithuania for half term?

No,they don’t speak Yiddish.

That’s because there are no Jews left.

Why,where have they gone?

Ukraine invaded

The Death Instinct was mentioned by S Freud

But was it Murder Suicide or Fraud?

He wanted to explain what makes no sense.

As our hearts bang and our innards wrench.

As Russia smites Ukraine we hold our breath

Our imagination balks, we think of death

How many more will suffer Putin’s wrath?

As NATO stalked the border witches’ path
