She has to go. Has to go as she hammers it home; as she hams up her deal for hammering it up with Corbyn. She was the one. She was the one tapping a pencil on her desk, tap, tap, tapping it up, vying for attention from her teacher. She is not forContinue reading “Has to Go: SSS Politics”

People’s May Pole: SSS Politics
“Colleagues have paid dearly for our prime minister’s failure to believe in and back the decision of 17.4 million voters to leave the EU. People are sick of our incompetence and inability to deliver and to honour our promises. We will be annihilated in the Euro elections if we break another promise and adopt Corbyn’sContinue reading “People’s May Pole: SSS Politics”
Assassin: A Savvy Tale
Sassy. Swinging her cloth bag, she saunters along the sauce isle, stopping only to grab her selection. Not Tesco tomato sauce, no – only the best for her (or for him)! Heinz it is. High sugar content needed. She pops the lid, peels back the silver seal, tips up the bottle, holds it highContinue reading “Assassin: A Savvy Tale”
Gum: A Silly Poem
Gum. Mounting up in my upside-down world. A pile of sticky mass threatening to consume me, crowding me out of my hiding place. Time to leave, to re-emerge into learning. Too late. It drags me in by a single strand of my hair. Eyelids unable to open, cheekbones redefined, ears silent. Sir’s voice; my learning;Continue reading “Gum: A Silly Poem”
A Scorcher: A Savvy Poem
I emerge from the edge of your denseness, and keep on moving, only stopping when I reach the space in which the tip of the sun’s longest ray reaches me to tap upon my head. In solidarity with this friendliest of touches,, I become a bright-orange glow, shining back at you – hot, hot, hotContinue reading “A Scorcher: A Savvy Poem”

Protest: A Savvy Poem
Rot. A lot of old rot. A lot of rotten old tests pushed at me by rotten old people. Old people and old tests. All rotten. And all best left to rot. A lot! Copyright owned by Jay Cool, April 2019 Image by F1 Digitals from Pixabay
Eight Lines of Readiness: #SIWOPC
Eight lines in which to eat my way into the stomach of the one; the one who will judge the togetherness of my random thoughts. Random thoughts all bunched up into word chains. Word chains that, if approved off, will be more than ready. Word chains washed, tumbled, starched and ironed. Word chains at theContinue reading “Eight Lines of Readiness: #SIWOPC”

Chocolate: A Silly Poem
I ate it. But, it was too late. Too late for the rush that I needed. Too late for the rush that would satiate my feelings of hate. Too late for me, Cate, to swallow my pride – too late to tell the tale of the hate that I ate. And, in the knowing,Continue reading “Chocolate: A Silly Poem”
