All that’s fit to print…

Tom Daly comes out on you tube.

Has he a book out for Christmas?

Never liked him, smartass it seemed.

Could be a case of jealousy on my part,

but he always seemed

another cocky little bugger like

My Perfect Cousin –

Kevin the Div.

But, mind you, he was thrust

early into the public gaze;

like Shirley Temple, Judy Garland,

or the Daily Mail,

or grown up faces,

and apple sauce,

and Macaulay Caulking,

Micky Rooney, the Queen, and rusks.

Thinking about it

More like Zola Budd

Or Elmer Fudd

Perhaps.

The spectacle

Can be so fickle!

Today

Choppers dominate the news:

one fell on a Glasgow pub,

the others on Lee Rigby,

a squaddie who might have been

going to or coming from a pint.

He was in London in day light,

the Glasgow chopper fell on Friday night

 

Docking

 

 

 

 

Three days in port

 

and

 

crazy on land.

 

For all destinations are the same:

 

headlands and customs,

 

stations and cheap digs.

 

 

 

Over the way

 

Running round the park,

 

the leopards in the dark,

 

brushing our skin,

 

like dry, soft, well made

 

shaving brushes.
