With one aesthetic CLICK
he took a photo super-ARTSY
in which the ordinary sun SHONE
on an even more ordinary PLANK.

You’ve got to have a tipple or two, boy
MOODY, playing Fagin, lights the
TAPER. Fellow actors note the stench of
CHILI, reel from the pre-performance
SWILL of a beer or two too many.
Should I?
My friend’s favourite descriptive word: VAPID.
OUGHT I let other people know this,
SHARE it with the world? Or say that the
flight I most delight in is the HERON’s.
Excess
Overindulgence of CANDY
at Christmas has meant today’s NINTH
trip to the outside, long-drop PRIVY
and too much washing in the DRIER.
Growing wiser
Once I acCRUDE some understanding in this hospital, I
LEARNed that a little bitty knowledge of the
NURSE’s daily workload goes a long way to getting a
BITTY – a little bitty – more help with my post-op struggles.
Misapprehension
SORRY to report that the aging soak who tried to
TOUCH the havoc-maker for twenty dollars
WREAKed the full wrath of the latter’s
SURLY self-centred censure.
New Year Lack of Resolution
TABBY or not tabby. After
SIXTY years on this planet do I have the
NERVE to travel further
NORTH, or will I stay at home?
Tinky-Tonk
CRAFT fair. Baubles without substance.
GAUDY trinkets, trifles, whatnots, and
PRISMs: imitation rainbows. I sneer,
SCORN the tinsel tawdry.
Final Concert
GAUNT the aged pianist sat,
(SMELL of soap, once standard in all homes);
SHONE the sounds from fingers wracked, of
FLAILed keys fiercely struck.
The schemer
GRIND my baggage into my cabin and
HOARD all available space. Full steam
AHEAD, the Captain cries, leaving my
WOOER with egg on his face.
