You’re Going To Kill Me

Shelly Holeinfence had just changed her name from something ridiculous. She did this to win the affections of the object of her desire, or one of his friends. It didn’t work, so she moved deep into the Blue Ridge Mountains. Not, like, under them or anything, you moron, but a fair distance from any civilization.

And that’s when she saw the elves.

She saw them out her window one day, dancing in a fire. And a few seconds later, jumping around and howling in pain as the brighter elves danced around the fire while EMTs (elven medical technicians) attended to the burns. She tried to stay hidden from the elves, but they knew she was there, because it was difficult to hide a cabin in the middle of the mountains.

Quid Pro Quo

I gave her quid

she gave pro quo

my new pet squid

she loves me so

she gives me hugs

with all her arms

with gentle tugs

she shows her charms

she loves me so

I’ve said before

she lets me know

she loves me more

she sucks my neck

she sucks my sides

but what the heck

she goes and hides

behind the chair

behind the shed

but she’s still there

I see her head

she likes to think

she’s one of us

she writes with ink

and takes the bus

there’s jealousy

from my dear wife

she fails to see

and gives me strife

she thinks I pay

too much attention

she doesn’t say

she fails to mention

she thinks I’ve gone

right off the grid

suggests a swan

instead of squid

but that would hurt

she’d get upset

if I did flirt

with another pet

I have to go

my squid awaits

she lets me know

that we’re just mates

but I know truth

I really know

my squid called Ruth

she loves me so!

Leave it Jezza, it’s not worth it!

Kirsty, one of the few blogging friends that I know IRL, has a few views about politics. She gave up soaps some time ago. Now she plans to give up politics……..well, almost!

Several years ago I remember waking up in a cold sweat after a nightmare about EastEnders. I think it was about Sonia Fowler – that sweet brainy trumpet-playing girl who fell in love with bad boy Martin after he’d accidentally killed her lovely previous boyfriend, then didn’t realise she was pregnant until she went into labour, gave the baby up for adoption but then had a breakdown and kidnapped the child back.

Mind over matter

There’s a vast difference between WANTS and NEEDS, but sometimes the two coincide. Seems they did here!

Hildegard scanned the track again. Yesterday she found 27. Today maybe more. If she could find just 35 she’d be able to escape at last!

It starts with one word
which nobody heard.
’twas typed by a ghost
and sent in the post.
The ghost, a poor sinner
was hailed as the winner!
