Three Men

-
three men try to gather
together using social networking technology

This goes on for a long time
It becomes slightly embarassing
And so one of them decides
Enough is enough an he
Writes to the other two
To say I am in bed
Do not disturb the trees
Do not walk on the glass
If at the end of this
you bring me the golden feather
then you can marry my wife
The other two
Sent into paroxysms of mental confusion
Agree to meet
To discuss what this could possibly mean.
The no longer bedridden riddler
Sits in a cafe opposite.
Sipping a campari
Hiding behind a copy of Le Nuts
He gets up and begins to walk over
But sadly (and I have forgotten why)
He falls down a sink hole
That happened to appear at that precise
Moment in Southwark.

Football dads

-
  I have become a football dad. Okay I was already one last season but that was football-dad-lite and came free. For a start it was, whisper it, a church league. There was always a prayer before kick off and one of the hazards was a certain coach who seemed to enjoy asking me, in a Columbo style line of questioning, to remind him which church we went to. My son’s team, despite being an overspill squad, won the league in what turned out to be a nail biting close to the season. This season he is playing for an eleven a side team and I am suddenly one of the squad drivers. Last week in the car park one of the boys remarked on the soft suspension and I became aware of just how low I had let the tyre pressure get. Now coming from a family of panickers I always get a sinking feeling when confronted with something as simple as a flat tyre. It feels like fate has caught up with me and has decided to show me I was never meant to be a vehicle owner (Our family panicking is well founded and n...

Tales from the village

The village people gathered round and they asked him to tell them about how they might come to accept change more readily and so he told them a story.  One drizzly winter morning, the kind when the rain can hardly seemed bothered to make anything wet, a local university lecturer was preparing to leave his house with his two young sons, who were playing in the walled garden at the front of the house. The garden was leafy all year round and the man was proud that he had planted the deciduous shrubs himself. Suddenly he heard the raised tinkling voices of his children coming from outside and hurried to find out what the cause of their excitement was. The boys were in good humour but it seemed that one of the household's two tortoiseshell cats had somehow perched itself on the handlebars of the elder sons bicycle when it took its morning crap. In their endeavours to avoid the excrement the two sons had haphazardly engineered to spread small portions of it about their attire. Ther...
