Sweet Dreams (Aren’t Made of This)- Part Two.

(Continued from the post of 28th June 2024.) Unsurprisingly, my get-rich-quick scheme came to nothing. It seems The Gambling Commission frown upon and discourage the practice of taking bets from those with inside knowledge. However, the entity responsible for trialing that first prophetic dream experiment on me must have been feeling very smug. It had […]

Sweet Dreams (Aren’t Made of This)- Part One.

Yeah. I know. I know what you’re thinking … No really. I do. I know because I can see the future – and it’s not ‘garlic bread.’ OK, when I say I can see into the future, I don’t mean all the time. The only people who can do that are Conservative MPs with accounts […]

You gotta start somewhere, right?

How do you celebrate some sort of achievement without coming across all cocky and conceited? Or worse – without trundling out that dreadful ‘dreams come true with hard work and persistence’ crap? I know – I’ll do it the Glasgow way. I mean, it’s no biggie; it’s not like it’s going to change my life […]

That Blinkin’ Cyclops!

The word today was’wink.’ That Blinkin’ Cyclops! The big, sad old cyclops would think:“What I’d give to be able to blinkBut with only one eyeAs hard as I try,The best I can do is just wink.”

Yawn of the Dead.

The word today was ‘yawn.’ Yawn of the Dead. There once was a ‘dead’ man called ShaunWhose demise was a terrible con.His wife’s insurance claimWas submitted in vain,When in the mortuary, he let out a yawn.

Starmer-drama-spin’s-wrong.

The word today was ‘drama.’ Starmer-drama-spin’s-wrong. A politician called Starmer caused a terrible dramaWhen giving his speech today.He used incorrect grammar, then started to stammerAnd f-f-forgot what he was g-going to s-s-say. _____ **DISCLAIMER** 1) Yeah, I know – it’s not a limerick as such, but it came to me in a flash and my […]

Collections of collections.

Do I have any collections? Dear reader – I have collections of collections! I’m sure every publisher and producer of ‘collectibles’ sees me coming. I’m such a sucker for collecting ‘stuff.’ And I don’t mind admitting, I’m quite precious about it all. BOOKS: books are like living, breathing beings to me. I could never bring […]

Sudan Inspiration.

(The word today was ‘zoom.’) Sudan Inspiration. There was an old man from Khartoum,Who invented machines in his room. When once he was askedHis most difficult task,Said: “a 5-speed Sudan Chair with ‘zoom.'”

Chef aux œufs.

(The prompt word today was ‘lunch.’) Chef aux œufs. An egg mayo sandwich is lacking in crunchBut the Michelin Chef had a radical hunch.He added the egg shell and fried it,But nobody tried it …And lost a star for being ‘out to lunch.’

Un(ear)plugged Performance.

I know … I shouldn’t be here – I ought to be concentrating on my book like I said I would. (I’ll post a progress report in a few days. 😉 ) However, as you’ve probably surmised if you’re a regular visitor to my blog, I have the attention span of a fruit fly, and […]
