i haver never ate a fast food burger
i have never met a famous movie star
i have never driven a fast car
i have never marched off to war..

i have never set out to mar
i have never been to mars
i have never eaten a mars..
that´s not true i have eaten a mars..

was the first couple of verses,lily,
it went on and on far and far..
and i have lost all three versions
pity,i like one or two lines..

though it could appear pointless
ramblings..i enjoyed writing..
and thought the sad and absurd
gave the love and pain a touching

touch..

lily says..
she has given up on
the rats..
she arched it
across the way
in disgust..
how would we
expect them to
behave if they
gained the world..
again,which surely
they will..she,
is away at the wine..
but the assault on the
commuter train has
proved too much..i will
not allow these images
in my mind..if we consider
our treatment of rats..
they are similar to us somehow
so we experiment on them..
i can´t see them very forgiving..
in herberts book they are not..
but if one great mad moment
by proximity alone
and the ensuing terror..
but anyway what´s the hurry
says lily..we´ll **** ourselves
long before..

tommy our very striking
cat
made a bid for my seat
i forgive him much..

he has a bad case of piles
bless!
what a carry on..
he hated the box..

but lay dormant
when the vet probed
his ****..
he was glad to be home..

and now we have some
ointment..
i just can´t remind her..
tommy will have to suffer..

we are both pretending
to forget..he´s in foul temper
but he can not have my chair..
a man´s chair is..a man´s chair..
