WHY I AM SO CATHOLIC ...
a) I like to light-boat candles in the wind
b) I like blowing out candles in the calm
c) I am just a pain in the arse.
After so very many complaints last week about philosophical funbits I am now determined to suffer no more of the sins of consistent incontinence.
It just goes to show that you can't be too careful... nowadays !
ReplyDeleteGolly [with apologies to Carol Thatcher], you make youself sound like Gordon Brown talking to the Pope.
ReplyDeleteThat makes two of us.
ReplyDeleteIt just goes to show that you can't be too careful... nowadays !
ReplyDeleteApoplectic rage sets in.
Even the Daily Mail had that one Merkin : it just goes to show ...
ReplyDeleteAnticant : I do not make myself. I am a social animal from the very beginning.
So you ARE Gordon Brown talking to the Pope?
ReplyDeleteInteresting comment I saw on another site: we stopped being an independent sovereign country when we gave Catholics the right to vote!
Come on Anticant : I stopped believing in all that when me testicles were tested for a virus.
ReplyDeleteYou can never be too careful today.
I noticed that you refused "marks". Is ths the real you?
Merkin : Rage OK but the other bit?
ReplyDeleteThe dialectic remains as always you know.
Not sure what you mean about "refusing marks" - was that a reference to Karl? - but all this "candles in the wind" stuff makes me wonder if you could be a Di Spencer groupie?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem much like our Zola to me.
Just to cheer you up, here's a new alphabet:
ReplyDeleteA is for apple, and B is for boat,
That used to be right, but now it won't float.
Age before beauty is what we once said,
But let's be a bit more realistic instead.
So - here's The New Alphabet:
A's for arthritis;
B's the bad back,
C's the chest pains,
Perhaps cardiac?
D is for dental decay and decline,
E is for eyesight, can't read that top line!
F is for fissures and fluid retention,
G is for gas which we'd rather not mention.
H High blood pressure--We'd rather it low;
I For incisions with scars you can show.
J is for joints, out of socket, won't mend,
K is for knees that crack when they bend.
L's for libido, what happened to sex?
M is for memory; we forget what comes next.
N is neuralgia, in nerves way down low;
O is for osteo, bones that don't grow.
P for prescriptions. We have quite a few,
Give us a pill and we'll be good as new!
Q is for queasy, is it fatal or flu?
R is for reflux, one meal turns to two.
S is for sleepless nights, counting our fears,
T is for Tinnitus; bells in our ears!
U is for urinary; troubles with flow;
V for vertigo, that's 'dizzy,' you know.
W for worry, NOW what's going 'round?
X is for X-ray, and what might be found.
Y for another year we are left here behind,
Z is for zest WE still have -- in OUR minds.
We've survived all the symptoms, our body's deployed, and
We're keeping twenty-six doctors fully employed.
Anticant the eternal optimist.
ReplyDeleteBut without such senses of humour where the f..k would we all be. Good to be child-like I guess.
In fact after my last hospital holiday I returned to give a few childrens books for the kids there. I felt good.
Made me feel a little better anyway and damn the self-centred feeling in this case.
It is time to return to Pooh Bear ( I hear a new version is ready soon).
Bags I be Roo.
You and I are both Survivors [so far] Zola.
ReplyDeleteYou know we love you for your courage and sparkling wit.
Looks as if Spring is coming at long last. Take care, go well.
Loved the poem Anti!
ReplyDeleteI am in the library using a public computer so I can't say any more till my own comp is sorted.

ReplyDeleteMerkin is nicking books agin.
