28.10.09 – Still Not Getting It

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

He’d said it was a special day, but I couldn’t place the date.

A Wednesday, a number, in the month of October?

No, just wasn’t ringing any bells.

I’d said this outloud, by accident really, and that was it from him.

He left quite early.

20.10.09 – Twitter-fied Rhymes

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

As previously posted on Twitter:

A Salvadorian Ecuadorian
was once a valedictorian.
Never a very good Victorian,
he often made speeches about wanting a Delorean.

*
Finally a rhyme,
at a precisely good time.
What a wonder it is,
should be in show biz,
next time you see me,
I’ll be playing in Capri.

*

Really must stop
before these rhymes start to rot.
I have to say first
it’s been fun to converse.
But I really must go now,
taking a final deep bow now.

03.10.09 – True Story.

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009
I remember once, long ago, I saw a face at the window.
It was a bright crisp day, and the sun had been shinning in great big streams through the glass. I was watching, entranced, as the light played across the carpet.
All at once, however, the light disappeared. Blinking at the loss of warmth and form I’d been admiring I stared up at the window in offence.
The glare I was wearing turned to horror as I processed what I was seeing;
Bigfoot stood out there, looking in on me, a great gaudy fedora perched on his head with a large orange feather sticking out of its top.
