Bob's Pie

Bob said "I want to make a pie"
"Ok" I said
"What do you want to buy
to put in your pie?"
Bob said "Potatoes."
"Just potatoes?"
Bob said "Yes."

Whose Bob!

"Whose Bob" he said.
"Somebody I know
and you don't!"

Quotes

"I hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man has no dedication nor any membership in literature" John Steinbeck

And funny ones (I love these useless snippets of information!)

"The first toilet in a block of public toilets is the least likely to be used and hence is the cleanest." Heard on the radio - could this be true I hope so as I now always use the first cubicle".

"All polar bears are left handed." - Come next time you watch a wildlife show I know that like me you will have to check which hand they use to grab that fish!

Trollphin

Today I saw a Trollphine

It moved blue and white

On land and on sea

Sometimes alert

Others comatose

It sits on its head

And stares into space

Eyes brightly bobbing.

A picture of my dog

The poem and picture below (of yesterday) show a picture of my beautiful dog. We walk on the beach every day - weather allowing - and this poem - or start of a poem is about something that really happened.

My husband would be really angry if he knew I put a picture of her on my blog because he is convinced something will happen to her. But this picture kinda illustrates the work so hey ho! By the way Fox poo really stinks - and it really is sticky and stenchy (not sure that is a word). I could tell you the story of my dog. I have always really wanted a dog - I always had a dog as a child but my husband never really wanted one. But after 25 years of marriage the opportunity came up to get a puppy from someone at work. And I fell in love. I did con him a bit as I said it was on a two week trial - and it truly was. I was convinced he wouldn't give in and I would have to send her back but he fell in love. Head over heels in love. I do all the walking and spend more time with her but she is madly in love with him - perhaps it is a female thing again because our male cat loves me the most. But she is wonderful company and I am so glad we have her. I just wish I had more time to spend with her.

Anyway just a little note. This weekend I am going to try and write more about me. I realise that I may have given a strange impression of me - with so many things missing so will try to rectify this later.

For a dog

Sniffing and walking
Walking and sniffing
Wee smells on driftwood
Their aroma so good
For a dog
Oh my god.

She’s rolling in fox poo
What terrible goo
A sticky stench
That means straight home
To slippery bath time
Lather and laughter
Shaking and splashing
Puffy fluff ball dog.

Coming Back

It's coming back
They're coming back
You're coming back
To haunt me.

It's coming back
They're coming back
You're coming back
To break me.

It's coming back
They're coming back
You're coming back
To change me.

It's coming back
They're coming back
You're coming back
To surround me.

It's coming back
They're coming back
You're coming back
To make me doubt me.

It's coming back
They're coming back
You're coming back
To smother me.

It's coming back
They're coming back
You're coming back
Because I am sliding.

It's coming back
They're coming back
You're coming back
Because I am sliding under.
