Where is my Life
Where has it gone
Asked the corduroyed classes
Of Monty Don
How would I know
That is not fair
Were the asinine questions

Overseas Family Favourites
All Octobers are heavy steamy smells,
Crinkled silver foil, spillage, scream and burning basting fat.
Damp and dusk rule the roost:
From hip height I watch another
too big for three Sunday roast row witt
overseas family favourites.
cuckolded giblets foresee a sticky end
As serviceable gravy to an
infantry stewed green.
A warm Guinness and carbolic soap await after snoozes:
An extraordinary little cough at dusk again
These are dreams that life is made on.
Do not forget the spare light bulbs for the long nights
Or Vicker’s Vimy vapour rub for the rheum.

dancing to the music of the genome
some geezer has given a note to each of the four parts of the genome and recorded it, producing something akain to gregorian chant – a choral form that I have always liked. With my limited knowledge of musical theory, a four elemental approach could also produce dissonances, even though the cadence would remain the same..earth, wind, fire and air. The pre-socratics my have been on to something after all the crap that they hve had heaped on them for their primitivism and autodidacticism

Monkey Business – Ape cull on Gibraltar
Groups of malcontent Barbary apes are reclaiming the rock. Guerilla tactics have spurred the authorities to threaten a cull if this wild ape action does not abate. Apes have been reclaiming luxury balcony space, prowling the streets, and stealing food.
Fearing an excalation to more militant methods the authorities are to nip further autonomous action in the bud. A delicate balance has to be drawn between the needs of the residents and the demands of the highly profitable tourist industry. There is growing concern that extreme repression may drive the apes from the rock, a harbinger of British withdrwal.
