My Writing and Art lives here….
Twas a famous Writer called “Honore de Balzac”
My question is not “Were his books good”
My question is this ‘Teenage’ one:
Did he live up to his good name?
Or did he “dis-Honore De Balzac?”
By recklessly scissor-jumping his farm’s fences?
Sorry – How Post Napoleonic of me!
Sam was old & living alone.
Tim his cat jumped up on him. But Sam was dead.
The cat was hungry & meowed loudly.
Sam suddenly awoke. He wasn’t dead at all!
He had been watching “The View”,
& When Whoopi Goldberg talked,
His life-force dissipated.
He fed Tim then shot the TV.
‘Barry the Worm’ was sad & lonely.
He had burrowed three perfect clockwise circuits of the red delicious apple & had still not met a lady worm.
‘Sue the Worm’ was also lonely & had done the same thing anticlockwise on the lower hemisphere of the Apple.
Sometimes you need to zig-zag.

She had started her first day of work – he had been there for 7 years & was a journeyman.
As the HR lady showed her the Iron Pouring Shed, she saw him & he saw her.
Their eyes locked as they both looked through the gap between the two giant slag piles.
