.           I have decided to
              change the title
            and call it, To Day.

            Night is going to
             be extended at
            midnight ce soir.

            It’s Oct the 26th
              Winter time is
              upon us again.

            So now, can you
            see why I wrote
           an ode to, To Day.



Ps

In UK the clocks go back an hour tonight

Ce n'est pas possible, de
filer comme les Anglais,
or take French leave, when
one is housesitting canines.

As days of departure near,
they begin to detect a vibe;
routines change, boxes are
filled and items disappear.

They identify tones; velcro,
buckles and dome fasteners
mean walkies, but zip sounds
longer than flies, are suitcases.

Public service punctuality

is in  symbiotic proportion

to wait loss, as proven by

results of a survey which

had been procrastinated

for many years according

wait watchers the national

statistics research bureau

of the Irish I Queue society.

Can you even imagine a world

without debt, or without dues.


America, for one, would have

no % in such a utopian dream.


Whereas Gaza without a doubt,

would  be contented with either.

I quenched lit candles,

doused them with spit,

7 times, for bad luck.


  Darkness came, but,

 the moon (rescented,

 I made it back to Gaza.

Gaza is a postage [stamp]
on an absorbent envelope
which can never be licked.
