All This Techology
Paying by phone means people standing
'pawing' at their screens
like a kitten with ball of wool
pushing
tapping
swiping
...cursing!
...swearing!
all to simply pay for a coffee
or fuel
a sandwich?
a small bar of chocolate?
It's so handy
...all this technology!
Either Oar (A Little Bit Of Nonsense)
Housing ladder
I have the ladder but no house to lean it against
my second house is very jealous!
there's no weather forecasted for today
but my greenhouse isn't green!
drilling holes is boring!
and my nose keeps running - I can't keep up with it
Ive just called a plumber to sort it out!
rail strikes
viciously
man strikes back
cost of living increases
cost of dying too!
hot air balloon company is suffering from inflation
company boss feels let down.
the man from the English water board buys two bottles of French water
Dam!
my thesaurus is broken
garden,
rocket,
frying-pan,
defective,
unreliable!
I used to sit on the board - but I got splinters
I'm now chair of the committee
but no-one is sitting on me!
I don't mind sitting on the left or right of this rowing boat!
Either
Oar!
Tesco Clubcard Points
doesn't seem like five minutes ago since I was changing their nappies
"Teletubbies: and "Thomas the Tank Engine"
play groups and starting school
christmas plays and sports days on the field
school uniforms at "big school"
exams and "leavers assemblies"
college
uni
post-grad
and more
The Obsessive
The 'obsessive' selects a cartoon of milk from the back of the chiller
but always checks the date thoroughly
incase it's out of date and poisons them
they'll take the 7th lid from the stack at the coffee machine
same with the cup selection
just in case
who knows who's touched them!
they still wear face masks
carry a bottle of hand gel and use it regularly
and always keep 2 meters apart at all times
despite being quadruple jabbed
they don't take the top newspaper from the stand
anyway that one won't be right
they'll have find a perfect copy
a non-creased copy
they'll give me the penny
not that they ever go over of course
then pay the balance on a card
because? who knows!
they're seen frantically tapping at their pockets
rummaging through their bags to find their keys again
then 'zap' the car for the fifth time
just in case it hasn't locked and someone 'knicks' it
people who don't know say "I bet their kitchen cupboards are tidy
I bet the whole house is beautifully ordered
and that they follow you 'round with a cloth
I bet their hands are scrubbed clean"
these thoughts are intrusive thoughts
compulsive actions
this is intense anxiety and distress
and is over-thinking
O.C.D.
it's a mental health disorder
...and I hope they find some peace from it
