i have understood
the secret of writing
poetry..

make it short and snappy
forget the world
imagine you re somebody..

looking forward to christmas
lily..?
a new pair of docs

on the horizon?
well,the materialism
of the greatest anti-materialist

seems a bit of a contradiction-
i think i will fast..
and what of the magi

bearing gifts..?
i will stick with the sermon
on the mount..

some of the greatest poetry
ever conceived..
in jesus i live..

or just go to the pub
and dance
hard to say..

probably a bit of
each
hope is snow..

we only have two cats now
over the years
we must have had thirty!
now, we are too old..

they are a lot of work
it is a myth
their independence, i mean..
no doubt

she will conceal another
under her jumper
with an ominous smile-say,
look what i found..
