hobby?

it is not a hobby hobby hobby….





work & life

seamlessly

joins





spare time debated

devastated.



welded

riveted

metal bolts that hold the days together

iron lung to help breath to keep order

smelted

poured

molded





it goes deeper than he thinks

one word cannot erase that

neither can the clock



it is put into categories

good news indeed
hopes that you improve
steadily
with good things to eat
with plenty of drinks for

we must not get dehydrated
time off work is good for they

will find how good you are
and how it is without you

maybe
maybe

i will go to the orchard
and maybe not for the
stress factor
may be high

too much for a mouse like me
do you think it will be heavy
work

too much for a mouse
like me

introducing

razor rabbit



some killed him, ate him, in casseroles and pies.

i will keep him. called razor for his quick wit, his

courage in crossing rivers & railways

rescuing, saving

he is a hero

is razor rabbit….



wait for more from razor rabbit

( a rhyming poem. homage to cold comfort)

it all happened down the woodshed

she said.



not the garden shed

then? he said.



no you see the shed i mention is designated for wood

and should

be used for that.



while a garden shed

she said

stores the mower and other tools

and it did not happen in there

it happened elsewhere



in the woodshed

see

she said

hope the worst is over and a gradual improvement
is happening

each day
each day

hope you are looked after with hot drinks and quilts

books on bikes
and other tales

if i were local i would bring you something of comfort

and say that i hope you get better

each day
each day

i have always liked little monkeys
desired a live one as a child for company

now it is those advert ones for tea

pg tips
a promotional thing

i find them in the charity
shops

then while at dinner one
christmas
kept the ******* ends

to make them party hats

i should take a photograph

james

did you see the mammoth coming?

was it so very big, very woolly?

did it smile to you to say hello
did it bring gifts from whence
it came

little things
aide memoires

is the snow deep today
and are you safe indoors

here we go on strike
snuggle up indoors
by the stove

watch films, read books

snow days

james

snow days

no snow here today
no woolly mammoths

i have little monkeys
with party hats
