No phone calls since 1975. Dont call me, I won't call you. Answers in an email. Likes may go up as well as down. Amateur poet of no merit
Epileptic and annoyingly woke, Cooperator, not a single but a return. Thanks for reaching out.
Latest news: it's suggested that I buy my unsuspecting love a soap dish made of recycled toothbrushes. She won't be able to wait for us to get together, sharing my bathroom sink, after a trial of the adjustable jetting Japanese toilet. I think that she already has a waffle robe.

If I leave my window open tonight,
Will I wake to spring?
The dawn singing?
Or lie shivering,
Cold toes, feeling foolish
With a dripping nose?

Rights children could loose if Reform gain power & get rid of the ECHR.

Protect your children by not voting Reform!

I've missed the wintry mix,
Sat above in my Comfortable chair,
People go past in hoods,
No umbrellas in this strong wind
The outside tables unused,
Below abandoned, to the cold,
And I have missed, so far,
The wint'ry mix.

North Sea oil
Nothing can bother Gill,
As long as the money flows in,
And her husband
Can't just walk in
From months away on the drill.

Jean is in charge here
Spraying jewels of water
Through the morning sunlight as she strides carelessly on the carriage roof
Her bare legs hardly wet.
Through a gash in the lids, the tanks are quickly filled, before all start work.

Cold, dark,
The cats will be shivering
In their coats
Bats too numb to fly
Will contue to dream
In their hibernation.
Snails stopped in slimy tracks,
Retreated into their shells,
Slugs buried in roots,and the silent birds, fluffed up, in shared roosts.

Winter not over?
February is not spring,
A sudden day's snow cover,
Will bring back icing.

'You look like someone out of Belsen',
My bony xylophone ribs and poor breath, inspiring a common expression.
What had he brought back with the clockwork tin toys from
Liberated, ruined Germany?

'The J Garsides' what a swell name for a country village semi,
On a new estate the Canadian Campbells, brought solid ice hockey players, to swell the girls.
Entrepreneurs of our cafe, gift shop, and off-licence, I worked for them in turn.

I'm slowly dying,
Lunch out with glass of wine,
Have I time for two?

Andy Burnham won't be allowed to stand in Gorton and Denton.

This means it is the Green Party who will take the seat.

Vote for them if you don't want Fuhrer Farage ruling over you.

What was lost is now returned,
Home again to rest!

City hums tonight,
Protests are over, no fight,
Yet the cold wind blows.

A marriage contract
Contracts until the glue has become a thin peelable layer,
Of rememberance
Of what it might have meant, if both had observed its intent.
Now two contracts, one and the other
Supporting each,
But never together.
I offer, but you don't want
Whatever your response is of no use

Winter hasn't gone
Snow warning on the radio,
Big boots on,

Pit village
I began at the end of the miner's time,
The hen cree over the road at the back of the bleak miner's terrace, on a well scratted coal black bank overlooking the field with golden gorse, where we would picnic in the summer, sandwiches of fine sliced ham and coop cheese.

Miners' gala,
In Durham the buses down Claypath are full,
Deals to be dealt, before the event, 'shilling with a ticket, sixpence without' now who is 'bent'. Will the machine tell, whether the handle has been turned?, before the banners have been unfurled.

Graduation day.
The clump of stacked heels, draws my attention to the willowly girls passing, slim arms outlined with tattooed care,
Mortar boards, atop,
Babies in high chairs,
So much done,
By twenty-one.

Billy could eat an onion,
As if it were an apple.
Peel an orange in his pocket, offer a segment,

Mind, by your foot is a hotplate that will melt your carelessly placed shoe,
When the burning smell of plastic sole has blown out of the window, it will stew the tea in the billy,

When the king visits Trump, he will expect a knighthood, and bold sir Donald can take his homeland of Scotland, after all he owns so much, and the oil is being squandered, by incompetence, the USAF, Norfolk is already his, it would be unreasonable when he has boots on the 'soil'. Bold sir Donald
