The Dreaded Cold
How I am feeling at the moment formed into a renga poem
Dear Vocal Diary,
I had a pleasent weekend
With books, golf and games
📖
In Oxford, I learned Renga
Haikus and couplets married
✍️
I met up with friends
In a round of pussy out
I’m not sucking toes
🦶
The winter air froze us all
So we warmed up with more booze
🥃
I shocked the gang hard
When I asked for tap water
I’m on a health kick
💦
Ketchup and ice cream; not good
Fries dipped in milkshake:success
🍟
How did these bottles
Of ketchup land in my bag?
I did put them back.
🥫
Jolly Rodger’s was lovely
Hopefully we will come back
👮♀️
Now I have a cold
Chasing everybody else
They went the wrong way
😷
I cancelled my fitness class
I need hot tea and a bed
🛌

The Squeeze
– The Pricey Luxury Badge vs the Hovering Hulk – Most of us have a problem with car doors putting dents on the sides of our cars; we'd like to take up two spaces but then we'd get key'd out of spite if we did. Currently the 'Compact' spots are occupied by Schlong-Schlinging oversized trucks that have their Tuckus' so far out they block the drive through aisles; I'm probably the only one that's noticed.
