positively mediaeval
Ronald Welch and Henry Treece
wrote historical novels for children in
the 1950’s which were brilliant. I was nine
or ten in the 60’s when I read them
again and again, since historical
novels can only profit by not being
up to date of course, but I’m not sure
if the same can be said of myself ..

such is life
whenever times were tough
my wife and I always fell back
on cod and chips twice and
a pickled onion on the side

died peacefully at home
in his sleep surrounded
by his family and friends
who no doubt killed him

truth, without hate.
americans often mock the state
of british peoples’ teeth; it’s not racist, it’s just
a cliché, like saying americans
are so very overweight ..

I hate horse racing
if horses rode people
they wouldn’t need whips,
they’ve got hooves
they wouldn’t need whips,
they’ve got hooves

go to bed,
you’ve got to be up early
in the morning
I’ll be tired,
whatever
you said
you’ve got to be up early
in the morning
I’ll be tired,

another winter
the house was cold;
since I’d retired I'd spent
most of my time in the house,
I was used to the cold
was particularly bad this
year, but perhaps, being old ..
I don’t know where the
time goes, or went, I fear

and why is it
there are loads of tins
of spam in the supermarket,
I can’t be the only one
who buys it

I can’t be the only one

a twenty a day man
he lit a cigarette
you said you don’t smoke anymore
I don’t,
still the same
you said you don’t smoke anymore
I don’t,
still the same

upon the 4:16 from lewisham
thinking of you I said, unknowingly out loud,
“I love you.”
the old woman sitting opposite me
smiled
“I love you.”
the old woman sitting opposite me
smiled

I know I tend to fall down
middle aged woman, in my
eyes young, asks if I need
help to cross the road; I say, no, thanks for asking
how old do you think I am ..
