Diary:

Monday

liberally spiked

with stress.

I have decluttered

my social media

in a world

where everyone

is trying so hard

to be everything

and have everything

I will have less

I think it’s best

for me.

Out side there is rain

yet there is a dark cloud

inside as well.

Okay

admittedly

there seems to be

a smile or three

about the me

cos dang it!

Life is

funny!

This weekend we:

1. planned to go to the zoo — but didn’t
2. planned to go to the gym — but didn’t
3. planned to go to the gym — again — but didn’t — again
4. thoroughly enjoyed the park, the sleep-ins and the dam instead

I tried various veggies to see if they would be safe and found that:

1. turnip greens are safe
2. rocket and watercress are safe in tiny amounts
3. bean sprouts are not safe! not safe! not safe
4. kale — oh tummy, I’m so sorry, please forgive me
5. I don’t want to experiment too much more right now

I wonder:

1. what would happen if you put rocket fuel into a car? Would it eXPLOde!??! Or would it just sit there and sulk and ruin everyone’s fun
2. in a battle with an ostrich vs. an emu which would win

Poem:

I write well

well…

Well enough

to not use good

when well

is better

which is

well well

all good

and well.

Thought:

If you know

how to do something

something good

something worthwhile

but you don’t do it

then do you really

know how to do it at all?
