No Ordinary Day
One day
the sadness came
and it never went away
An understanding
we all have to die
and that meant everyone
and maybe everything
in the whole world
would leave one day too
Mother
father
family and friends
kittens and dogs
and wishes and dreams
even the five year old boy
with a grubby tear in his eye
holding back in the playground line
waiting
to bat out his turn

firstly Mr Magic, congratulations on 1000 pieces of wonderful poetry. Thank you! Reading you is a blessing.
the topic and content here is something I've felt, we are all (I think) realising more and more, that yes we are living to an end. once again the way you write is relevant and real. I well worth while read.
thank you for sharing this gem, Abra
Magical blue skies at you
Al

Many thanks to you all...
...and to my dear friend Al
for his highly generous offer
re: funding of the promotional tour
Will be arriving
Yeoville, Tuesday
with full entourage.
Remainder of trip
to be completed on unicycles
as per contract.
I trust all our special dietary requirements will be covered
including copious fresh shrimp for the two red lipped batfish
Can you guarantee adequate security
or should we pack flak jackets?
And on that thousand I'm going with Buk :
"As the poems go into the thousands you
realize that you've created very little
it comes down to the rain,
the sunlight,
the traffic,
the nights
and the days of the
years,
the faces.
Leaving this
will be easier than living it
typing one more line now
as a man plays a piano through the radio,
the best writers have said very little
and the worst
far too much."

Buk! Is a fabulous quote on this great occasion!
lol!
My celebrity team have made arrangements in Sandton. They feel Yeoville, while perfect for drug induced comas might not be safe enough for such a high profile celeb.
Our security detail have prepared helicopters and adequate, Kevlar! All is on track!
The Cape Town fishermen are on the search for all dietary requirements.
I'm ecstatic!
[lol]

Disturbing news, Al.
Pilot and co pilot stricken with amoebic dysentery mid-flight forcing diversion to Hosea Kutako. Red lipped bat fish not happy with quality of Namibian shrimp and Mrs Abra involved in fracas at customs. Ugly scenes after two of the unicyles went missing. Entire party now facing quarantine. Please advise Cyril Ramaphosa's office we are delayed. Imperative initial contact established before the Germans arrive on the 24th.
Ps cheque still not cleared.

Oh shit ! (excuse the pun)
On contacting our Pesidents office. Previous President Jacob Zuma answered the call... we are lucky! He has made Nkandla available to us and agreed to send the great cruise ship the Ocianous to Namibia to sort out those customs officials.
I'm relieved we can use the bomb bunkers and fire pools should we need them on the 24th. Fortunately this allows extra accommodation and I have arranged for Jesta (complete with pink hoodie) to join us. To assist with Mrs Abra!
I hijacked five brand new unicycles this morning!
Cape Town fisherman have confirmed that they are en route back from Galapagos Islands as we speak. It seems they have found lip stick wearing bass for dinner.
While overnight in Namibia, I do recomend the local wine. It's the best in the world. As are their olives incidentally. (could possibly assist that pilot)

Shot for the help bru!
Managed to slip through customs cordon at dawn after bribing guard with pocketwatch and Mrs A's phone.
Have decided to head East although entire party babbelas after Namibian vino experiment.
The red lipped batfish will be on dried shrimp ration until Botswana border where my hope is they can feast on mophane worms.
Google reassures me almost no robots to hold us up enroute but potholes extremely hazardous for our remaining unicyles.
1100 km in a week is cutting things fine for the 24th so I urge you to be ready to quit your pozzy and take my place in Pretoria should we fail to arrive.
I know the peyote harvest on the Cape is in full swing but we must confound the Germans at all costs.
Multiple intelligence sources indicate they plan to unleash a diabolical poetry offensive which includes repetitive use of a series of sixty three letter words.
The future of poetry as we know it rests in our hands.

My China! We can do this!
I've just checked out on Carte Blanche that there was a Toyi toyi in the ABSA! So that explains the bloody cheque! Do you have a bitcoin QR code we can scan?
Sorry about the babbelas... best thing for that is 4 Grandpa powders, easily available at a garage shop.
Bru, my pozzy is your pozzy - anytime!
I reckon we give em Germans some Biltong and pop em in a mini taxi... that'll turn the word confound on it's head!
Right! The important part of all this! How the hell are we going to save poetry for humanity? This sixty three letter words thing scares me shitless!
I know a Nigerian guy with passports for sale, should we send those dudes off to Qwa Qwa?
On second thoughts, if you're popping past Botswana, would you consider bringing a few Boomslang back? One of those in a duvet cover generally makes people count syllables.
P.S. Mrs Al, has started baking Melktert & koeksisters in preparation for your arrival;)
