No Return

Check you out… all melancholy and brooding and shit… and I have to say it’s working for you. That end stanza just made me sigh.

Thanks for sharing

I'm just a saddo losing count of rainy days, M but I nominate you for poet of the year.

I’m afraid I can’t accept after that incident with the beer can and the rubber chicken. KFC is still shut down. I had to write an apology letter. To the Pope.

Naturally his first words were pee pee and to this day he insists on commencing every word with the letter P.
You've no idea the amount of crossing out this has involved. Fortunately, we managed to keep Phakespeare, Pyron and Phelley out of the papers by bribing editors, but Pissy would be harder to hush up.
So with budget constraints the way they are today it's something of a relief you've chosen to decline the award.
I completely understand this, as not everyone wishes to sacrifice their privacy at the expense of fortune and fame.
We will of course donate the £5,000 to a worthy cause on your behalf.
