BLOGGER BARD

Well, another milestone reached. This is my thousandth post since
starting this blog in Jan 07, and while I may have occasionally run
out of energy, I’ve never run out of ideas. The blogosphere is an
inspirational thing – in more ways than one. I’ve said before that
blogging allows us to live in two communities. First is the local where
you physically live, which can so easily be insular. The second is the
virtual, which opens up a global world of ideas and understanding.
The world is better for it.

newsflash

BRIT NEWS: Govt wants to
stamp out discrimination against
‘northerners’. That’s right, keep those
sissy southerners in check.

BRIT NEWS: Britain has become ‘cold place’ for Christians
as equality laws are wiping out faith. A shame the govt doesn’t
class Brit culture as equal.

BRIT NEWS: You will no longer be forced by
the boss to retire at 65. Good, but such
voluntary ideas lead to the slippery
slope of raised retirement age.

WHERE WENT THE LIGHT?

Blinking light no longer there,
Black mice scurry, turn and stare,
Time is changing, going fast,
Rocks approaching, they are vast,
Waves pound, bringing strife,
To this shipwreck of a life

ERROR’S COST

Fiction: It didn’t always go right. Oh, he knew what he was doing. She
was sat by him, listening to him – adoring him. The drip, drip, drip of
insinuation came from his hypnotic voice, and when it seemed right,
he took her. Over the following days she re-lived it over and over
again and felt so good, so complete, so totally as one with him. But
when she saw him in bed with another, and another … Maybe the sulk
should have warned him, and the growing anger in her eyes, but as
the drip sent the juices through his body, it was doubtful he would
survive. Close by, the police put the commune on suicide watch.

GET THE RHYTHM

Get the rhythm, swing the hips,
In the mood to meet those lips,
Music thunders round your soul,
Electric, making you so bold;
Rhythm is such a spiritual thing,
Get hooked and your life will sing
