Surely there are rocks closer to home. For you, David, a rock poem writ by me, titleless as yet:
A monk sat on a rock for hours,
awaiting divine visitation.
What he got was a revelation:
a sore bum means the rock won,
so he moved under an apple tree
(he was not the brightest bulb
in the drawer).

Beethoven quarreled with everybody therefore he must have been a poet. Can't stop: it seems I'm going to Oxford tomorrow to look at some rocks.

Well, I sat in the sun, wrote 2 minor poems, grilled beefburgers and cluttered the laminated worktops. I hadn't known Beethoven ('I ain't deaf; I'm ignoring you') was a poet. His new group sounds grand.

Well I put up a new bathroom mirror yesterday (this involved using a power drill, a T-square and a spirit level) AND I've laminated my work tops. So there :) While I've taken up courses on both Beethoven and the Existentialists (almost a name for a group) as I'm wearying of the stunted minds of minor poets. Flourish. So double there :)

What's 'snarkiness'? Something to do with the great L. C. ?
Anyway, loads has changed: there's the new fudge shop, I'm a Dad, I've got a mutilated hand, I've got a different computer, I've stopped smoking, and I'm drinking a different brand of coffee, and I've finally laminated my work tops.
