he arrived with a tap on the door and
a face as long as a wet weekend in Brighton,
right then, he said,
what's the matter with you?

do
doctors always ask patients what's wrong with them?

A self diagnosis,
try self hypnosis.

Blue lights and no sound.

the national health is a warehouse of stealth
mattress not included.

ps,

I'm playing again sat here on the train to alleviate boredom, imagining this is my kingdom, an empty carriage! Wow, call for the vicar, let's arrange a marriage
I can hardly do better than this.

No rush hour here only the kiss from her lips
I remember that blush hour well.

Ha again
it seemed like an hour but you know how men boast.

Tomorrow
if she reads this today I'll be toast which is a polite way of saying
stop playing, stop breathing, I believe I'll be leaving this train very soon,

Chancery lane on the underland train
Oops
playing again.

nearly done and dusted
drawn a court card and
now I am busted
but you can't be
21 forever

although
on the dark side of the Moon
Pink Floyd still
rock on.
