You're Not Hungry!

You're not hungry you just think you are.

You're not hungry you're just bored.

You're not hungry you just have a sandwich sat in front of you talking to you.

You're not hungry, you must wait until tea time, 

OK lunchtime, 

OK breakfast!

You're not hungry, it's just a phase you're going through.

You're not hungry you just have fond memories of your lunch.

You're not hungry it's just trapped wind.

You're not hungry you just had a day dream about food.

You're not hungry it's just your stomach is telling fibs.

You're not hungry it's just your stomach in cahoots with the shop you're in right now - it's on 25% commission!

You're not hungry you just want this shift to end and you think eating something will make that happen.

You're not hungry - so put that packet of 'Biscuits' down!

You're not hungry, you've eaten enough!

You're not hungry!

What Happens?

What happens?

How does it work - how can it be?

How do we go from a sparkly eyed teenager - straight A's

apple of our fathers eye

'ice creams and pony-tails'

big plans to take over the world

innocence personified!

...then 

...imperceptibly 

...we turn into 

a down at heal

down in the dumps

overweight

mid fourties

twice divorced

4 kids

4 cans of fosters and a quarter bottle of vodka - sort of person

...20 Benson's 

and yet another lighter 

"cos your life's a mess and you can't find the other 

million lighters you've bought previously - sort of person

...going to the shops in our dressing gowns

a pasty and packet of crisps for the only meal of the day - sort of person!

...and all that in just 25 years!

What happens?

(Haiku)

Every day's a great

day when I'm with you - and you

are always with me!

Thoughts and Observations

Does an ant think he's the centre of the universe?

Husbands: a species found standing outside charity shops waiting for their wives

Does the water-butt have a cover over it to keep the rain out?

Now, was that hand-to-ball - or ball-to-hand?

I think I saw a teenager smile!

What would I be doing at home if I wasn't at work?

Why is everything labelled 'fun sized', so small?

I think I was in Brighton when I heard about John Lennon 

Is the boy leaning out the car window learning to push boundaries?

What do you call a women who drives a white van?

Why must I question everything - why!?

I wonder, are those real plastic flowers in that car?

They didn't teach us all that 'contactless - pay with our phones' thing at school

Isn't it supposed to rain later?

Is that four bikes on top of a van or a van underneath four bikes?

What colour do you see when I see blue?

Isn't is funny how we all know what 'an ACL injury' is

Where is 'far and wide'?

Is painting over graffiti - graffiti itself

and will the painting over, be painted over?

Is owning nothing - possessing something?

What does a swede know of Sweden?

What difference does it make anyway

surely nothing is something!

Everything is going on - right now!

And everybody's somewhere, even those who are lost!

have you found out you were lost?

She used the same ski 

poles to walk with as caused the 

fall in the first place

'Til Death Us Do Part

she looked like a lady who knew what to do and ...

not one of those types that didn't have a clue and...

not a walk in the rain - completely wet through...

and I this is how it went

when she looked back she seemed a little older, and...

I don't think that she had a chip on her shoulder and...

I don't think she did what her mother had told her...

her outfit said so much

she sort of smiled and I sort of smiled back and...

I thought this one was a hard nut to crack and...

with defences down, she sort of backtracked...

then she softly whispered

"well sailor boy what are you doing here and...

shouldn't you be at home with your old mother dear and...

when she finds out you've been anywhere near...

you're going to need somewhere new"

so I had to act cooI and l had to act smart and...

not really knowing just where to start and...

hoping this accord would not fall apart...

"do you know of a place I could stay?"

well that reply about knocked her for six and...

saying "if that's how you get your kicks" and...

taking my hand, eyes probing; transfixed...

said "follow me this way!"

I follow her now as I did at the start and...

I wasn't to know she'd have stolen my heart

and my soul, we are as one - off the chart and...

very much 

'til death...

us do part...
