The wonderful Wendy Cope (through her invented struggling, poetic persona Jason Strugnell) gifts us one of her funny takes on Shakespeare’s Sonnets.. this time around it’s CXVI.

Strugnell’s Sonnets (VI)

Let me not to the marriage of true swine
Admit impediments. With his big car
He’s won your heart, and you have punctured mine.
I have no spare;…[Read more]

Ghost Song

Awake

Shake dreams from your hair
My pretty child, my sweet one.
Choose the day and choose the sign of your day
The day’s divinity

First thing you see…

A vast radiant beach in a cool jeweled moon
Couples naked race down by it’s quiet side
And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
The music…[Read more]

Stoned Immaculate

I’ll tell you this
No eternal reward will forgive us now
For wasting the dawn.

Back in those days everything was simpler and more confused
One summer night, going to the pier
I ran into two young girls
The blonde was called Freedom
The dark one, Enterprise
We talked and they told me this story

Now listen to this…
I’ll…[Read more]

The Severed Garden (Adagio)

Wow, Im sick of doubt
Live in the light of certain
South
Cruel bindings.
The servants have the power
Dog-men and their mean women
Pulling poor blankets over
Our sailors

Im sick of dour faces
Staring at me from the tv
Tower, I want roses in
My garden bower; dig?
Royal babies, rubies
Must now replace aborted
Strangers…[Read more]

Losing My Religion

Oh
Life
Is bigger
It’s bigger than You
And You are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in Your eyes

Oh no I’ve said too much
I set it up

That’s me in the corner
That’s me in the spotlightLosing my religion
Trying to keep up with You
And I don’t know if I can do it

Oh no I’ve said too much
I haven’t said…[Read more]

King Of Pain

There’s a little black spot on the sun today
It’s the same old thing as yesterday
There’s a black cat caught in a high tree top
There’s a flag pole rag and the wind won’t stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ’round my brain
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this…[Read more]

Well.. this year’s Rugby World Cup promises to be quite a tournament. New Zealand are of course the team to beat (and most can only dream of that), showing their pedigree this weekend with the total destruction of an Italy side who , let’s not forget, put up a decent show earlier this year in the Six Nations. The All Blacks supremacy is quite…[Read more]

Happy Birthday sunny :) xx

Hide And Seek

There was a time when there was nothing at all
Nothing at all
Just a distant hum
There was a Being and He lived on His own
He had no one to talk to
And nothing to do

He drew up the plans
Learned to work with His hands
A million years passed by
And His work was done
And His words were these…

Hope you find it in…[Read more]
