say
this is the #last
days
of us
humans
the end is
nigh
they cry
maybe it is
maybe it isn't
who knows
it's the first
day of Advent
today
the first candle
stands for hope
none of us
hope for
that final judgement
do we
we just try our best
day by day
and then
life's over
live on

we headed
South
for the funeral
I read
my #reflection
on his young life
tripping slightly
on the podium
like all
the other
speakers
bar his daughter
I watched
the front row
of those
mourners
knowing their pain
I was present
feeling the pain
but my tears
had passed
weeks before

#achievable
if you're
a mother
wanting to save
her only child
almost
anything
lifting a car
hard to believe
but true
for you
and me
it's
more difficult
based
on ability
and motivation
perhaps genetic
disposition
but the new
wave
was only interested in
the mantra
sad

second part
of a SMART
target
my colleague Geoff
asked
moronic
I said sarcastically
he didn't laugh
he was one
of the new breed
of new managers
who talked
about
our professional service
being more robust
#measureable
he scorned
I remember
the year
our service went down
yup

South on Friday
for a funeral
a sudden death
#transported

I'm reading
one of my poems
go gently

remember
your
NI #number
if not
move
to section 2
can
you remember
your phone number
backwards
if not
move to section 3
can you remember
the last four PMs'
if not
move to section 4
can you remember
what you had for
breakfast
and if you say
porridge
dial
the emergency
number 999

I ask Hillary
is Julius Caesar
#literature
written
in 1599
it dramatises
the political conspiracy
and the assassination
of the dictator Caesar
followed
by Civil War
most definitely
literature
she concluded
mm
I said
what's your
favourite line from it
you're boring me now
go
she said

always supporting
the #law
at school
I'd always
be respectful
of teachers
police officers
and anyone
else in authority
teachers
were called
Mr, Sir, Mrs, Ma'am,
Ms
nope
Police Officers
PC or WPC
you'd be in real
trouble from Mum
if the Police
came knocking
at the door

I wasn't great
at #geography
when
I got my first job
my old geography
teacher
was a councilor
having
retired
from teaching
we got on
really
well
I had to confess
to him
that
my best mark
for a class test
was due to
the fact that
my best friend
had already
sat the test
he laughed

gosh
my #education
is still
going on
Spanish now
I've studied
science
maths
philosophy
psychology
computing
but languages
have been difficult
at school
my report card
always said
I should
give up French
but I got a tutor
who came once
a week
to help me
I passed
my exam
hooray
