ANGELA & BRIAN



 

WILLYS LIBERATION BLUES ~ LAMENT !

 

COS IM ALONE ~ Wont

let in Dance Hall ~ on my own !

there*s no one to share

new white T-shirt ~ new cut Hair

so Im Dancin* Soltaire ! 

 

I went for *short - back 

and sides* ~ its a Tenner ($ 13) there

Joe who cuts my Hair

He looked at me ~ quite shifty

*five months growth Sir ~ it*s  FIFTY  ($ 67) !* 

 

Down @ the Pub ~ for

Pint of Ale ~ I rant & moan

I couldnt order ~ cos Id 

forgotten me mobile phone !

 

Went in CAFE ~ FISH / CHIP

SUPPER ~ Cod with mushy Peas

made me wear a MASK !

WHY ? you ask ~ they said eatin*

can spread disease ~ IF YOU SNEEZE ! 

 

MASKS on the Buses

MASKS in the Shops ~ MASKS for the 

Market Stall Jobbers

wearin* MASKS ~  for all our TASKS

easy for High Street ROBBERS ! 

 

Thanks for visit comments welcome LOVE ~ Angela & Brian

 

I hope your LIBERATION DAY goes better than WILLY*S !  The A & E Department in my Hospital asks the MEN - especially - to celebrate in MODERATION.  Is that an OXYMORON ? ~ like asking the Ladies not to binge on Clothes !  Tomorrow ( VC Day - in the UK) will feel like Independence DAY - VE Day & VJ Day all rolled into ONE !  Spare a thought for Leicester and other towns that may still be locked down due to a rise in COVID 19 ! Some of the OCTAGENARIANS ~ Brian shops for - are very lonely - have no transport - and are scared to go out !  Pick ONE up in your *BUBBLE CAR* and take them with you for a treat *Pint an* a Poke of Chips (French Fries !)*  AMEN !

      ANGELA HERE (Evening clinic today so Brian has left me to surf MPS while he Gardens with Smokey !)
      Yes NEIK SEDAKA an underplayed Singer (Hes on ALEXA !) great pianist & much Pathos in His voice. I heard SOLITAIRE (on ALEXA) and the thought came to me of people like Willy struggling tomorrow and not understanding the brave new World - do any of us ? I felt TANKA S were an ideal genre for vignettes you enjoyed it ! There are still spaces on the Heaven Fusion *BEYOND T HE SUNSET* (Pat Boone) If you have time. I am just commenting on *ABSORBING*

      Blessings & Love & Joy & Peace

      A fine write A&B.
      Got any spare oxy-wotsits? I want one! lol. Ohh, ignorance, e.g. of language, is not always bliss.
      Bonjour - bit of German there for you.
      Fido said 'Woof! Keep taking the tablets - me, that is!'

      You sound as though you have a fun life. Recently, I haven't been doing anything; do to this C-19 thing. After reading your poem, I think I do need to be more active (haha).
      Persistence is key
