 friday night

hope you are with your feet up 

staring into a log fire

a glass of red in hand

some tasty nibbles

listening to maestro brendel

WORDLE ...MLMM #285

drop chill assets cabin hopeless rancor story chill breakfast service  outstanding roundabout

 

 

 A Familiar Story

 sorry to drop this on you

before breakfast

there is no roundabout way

of saying this 

but your bnb service which used to be outstanding

is hopeless

the  cabin leaks

the entire place needs refurbishing

 it is without rancor and in the spirit of friendship

 that I advise you to chill out and pay more attention

to your dwindling assets

Cavatina from the Deer Hunter


OLW # 135

 

a much needed  rest

after a hellish couple of days

to sit cosy and warm

looking out at the grey sky 

listening  to the guitars

playing a sad love song

thinking of you


Sunday Muse # 225





student digs
no tiles
linoleum floor
love 
the no frills
the simplicity
 
luxury
is a trap
we are all paying
the price for it now
KISS


 i remember 

feeling like this

i was young

it was always summer

 

i had no idea

 about anything much

an innocent

tiptoing through tulips


i am pleased

maturity

was a long time coming

discovering all those truths

 

 reality

makes you wise

but not necessarily happy

BRAVE NEW WORLD ORDER

 Tsk Frankie Valli.....Can't take my eyes off you?
Fraid not Frankie....At Club 77 Darlinghurst Sydney
management will call the cops


you use to be able to look
but not touch
not now
no longer
not unless you have prior verbal consent

Darlinghurst nightclub bans patrons from ‘staring at someone’ without
prior ‘verbal consent’ at popular Sydney venue Club 77. It is considered to be sexual harrassment. The club said “safety officers” in pink vests would enforce the staring rules. 

 

woke pc insanity
alive and thriving
keep eyes lowered
maybe hand out consent forms
to be signed and witnessed
with verbal consent as well 


there was a time
wandering eyes
were not confused with
wandering hands
helas
no longer

those with an appetite for scandal

gossip passed around usually comes

from a dank dark place

not trustworthy

and never nice
