I can only guess at
What the future might hold
Will I even make old bones?
Not that I want to live forever,
But whatever age I achieve
I don’t want to look back
And wonder what might have been
So, I will live every day
Like it was to be my last
So, at the end
I will not lament my past
And now I will not worry
About what might be
A forest fire can easily start
With
a match you carelessly threw
Yet
it can take a whole box
To
light your BBQ
Are you wearing blue lipstick?
Then you must be a Dutch chick
Because
I’ve heard the song Ma’am
About
blue lips from Amsterdam
Red light jumpers
Especially
those peddling bikes
Articulated
Lorries in the outside lane
Lads
that show off to impress their mates
Ladies
who really ought to know better
Young
boy racers who pay more on insurance than they do on a car
And
middle-aged men driving sports cars
Newly
passed showoffs
Nutter's
that indicate left and then turn right
Old
geezers who dither about
Yes,
the white van man
Idiots
riding motorcycles
Nutter’s
who overtake on a bend
Gesticulators
and abusers
Dogs
slobbering out of their window
R
risk takers who never give way
I
Infuriating drivers who never signal
Very
bad drivers who don’t hold their lane
Every
bloody Taxi driver
Really
dangerous tailgaters
Stupid
drivers using mobile phones
Who’s that girl?
What
a chassis
When
a man loves a woman
Where
angels go trouble follows
Why
don’t you
“Dark
Victory” is a romantic drama, based on the play by George Emerson Brewer Jr.
and Bertram Bloch, and Directed by Edmund Goulding.
It’s
the story of Judith Traherne (Bette Davis) a wealthy Long Island society girl
given to a dizzy lifestyle.
She
is a confident and self-assured young woman able to command the attention of any
man in her sphere.
One
of whom is an Irish horse trainer, Michael O'Leary (Humphrey Bogart) who
witnessed her falling from her horse after badly misjudging a jump.
It
becomes apparent in the aftermath that it was caused by a problem with her
vision, so her best friend, Ann King (Geraldine Fitzgerald), her secretary
Martha (Virginia Brissac), and handsome young friend Alex Hamm (Ronald Reagan),
all urge her to consult Dr. Parsons (Henry Travers) who in turn directs her
toward brain specialist Dr. Frederick Steele (George Brent).
Steele
diagnoses a brain tumour which will end her life within a year if left to run
its course, so he recommends an operation and afterwards as she recovers from the
surgery she falls in love with him and him with her and he proposes.
Unfortunately,
she discovers that the prognosis is that the tumour will come back and
eventually kill her, learning this, she becomes manic and depressive and goes
off the rails and breaks the engagement.
After a brief wobble she accepts her fate and decides to enjoy the time she has left with her true love, Frederick, and she shows the underlying bravery and courage as she faces this physical suffering and demonstrates the woman of substance that she was as she stoically awaits the end.
When the police caught me speeding
My
eyes were strained and blinking
I
was pulled over by a putz
Who
said “Your eyes look red,
Have
you been drinking?”
So
with no ifs or buts
“Your
eyes look glazed”
I
responded without thinking
“Have
you been eating doughnuts?”
