A Couple More Poems (Less good ones! Ha ha!)

I'm not so sure anyone will like these, but I do, so I thought I'd stick them up here.

Strange

Stranger,
you're a  friendly face.
No stranger
than the human race.


My Poem, My Rules

Concrete is not an
attractive material.
A meal after morning
should not involve cereal.
A rabbit or pig
does not need a lead.
These are my rules -
the world should take heed.
Sweetcorn's a veg and a
fruit and a seed.

A Couple of Poems

These are just a couple that I've had in the notes section on my phone for a while. One is about 2 business men (salary men in Japan) dropping their coins everywhere in the supermarket (again and again and again!) and the other's about feeling a bit down one night, a long time ago, and the power of tea to cheer you up!

All Over the Place

Two salary men,

With bright red faces,

Dropping coins

All over places.
Thinking the checkout

Might be a bar - 

I think they've already 

Been for a jar.

The SS Cuppaty

Night has fallen

and all at sea,

with broken sails,

I'll make some tea.


An additional note - when Asian people have been drinking, they sometimes get red faces and 'jar' is British slang for a pint of beer (although it's not massively common to hear it said).

Lady Songs!

Yes - lady songs exist! I discovered them and they're sung by ladies! Not like the Spice Girls, but by proper ladies with brains and hearts and souls! Here's 3 that I came across. P J (Polly) Harvey with The Words That Maketh Murder (Live at the Mercury Music Prize ceremony), Planningtorock with Bolton Wanderer (live at Bestival), and Anna Calvi with Suzzane and I.

Arcade Fire, Manchester, Aug 2011

I'm back from the UK and Barcelona. I'll write about it soon, but for now here's a few of music vids from the Arcade Fire's amazing Manchester gig on August 31st. I went with my sister, Steph and they were so much better live than on cd. Really incredible. It brings their albums to life after you've seen them live.
