one day at Bell

i am often amazed at the slobbiness that has become my life

new pinnacles have been reached,

and coming from an established slob such as myself,

that’s a brand new high.

or low.

However.

as slobby as i am

i am comforted by the fact that

there will always be someone slobbier than me

(i have photographic evidence)

see how my day has just improved?

hahaha!

i wonder if slobby is an actual word.

if i weren’t as lazy (and therefore slobby) as i am,

i’d look it up.

Built To Last

I’ve looked for love

in stranger places

but never found someone like you

someone whose smile

makes me feel I’ve been holdng back

now there’s nothing I can do

cause this is real, and  

this is good,

it warms the inside,

just like it should

but most of all,

it’s built to last.

Amango, Amango

as i sit in this pile of laundry,

on a beautiful Saturday afternoon,

watching Gossip Girl

and missing someone-

my mind drifts back 6 months,

to another beautiful Saturday,

when I sat in a pile of laundry

(thankfully a different one, even I am not that lazy)

watching Gossip Girl,

while eating a mango,

staining my clean white shirt

clear, golden rivulets of honey

what is missing from my picture today?

oh, my Kensington Pride,

thou shalt be mine.

*

and so ends my ode

to my beloved,

my mango.

caught by the river,

i wait outside flinders street station

bells ring

bagpipes play

tires screech to a halt

attention passengers, the next train departing platform…

it never stops

i dance with myself.

The Germ

Ogden Nash

A mighty creature is the germ

Though smaller than the pachyderm

HIs customary dwelling place

Is deep within the human race

His childish pride he often pleases

By giving people strange diseases

Do you, my poppet, feel infirm?

You probably contain a germ.

HAHAHA!

One Sweet Love

today,

i managed to eat 2 apples and 3 oranges

for no good reason

(that I can think of anyway).

and then!

i displayed some pretty crazy behaviour

although thankfully limited to just one person, on another continent 

(and caused by another,or rather the absence of ).

and then, i came home, and looked everywhere for my orange highlighter, to match my orange alien notebook BUT I COULDN’T FIND IT.

why, God

why are you punishing me in this way?

first my someone,

then my HIGHLIGHTER?

why?

*wails*

ahem.

okay.

i must go now.

there are many nice songs for me to arm dance to.

wheeee.

🙂

i have made the same mistake

twice now.

please,

somebody shoot me.

Lord knows i deserve it…

argharghargh.

why am i at a loss for words now,

when clearly i have never had this problem before.

why?

GOD,

IS THIS YOUR WAY OF PUNISHING ME FOR HAVING TOO MANY SHOES?

*sobs*

where have you gone, my love?

ahem.

that was a bit creepy, even for me.

hee!
