SUNDIAL

 

The sun burned bright

Its rays struck the sundial

And cast a shadow

Shown in sharp relief

From the gnomon

Upon the brass dial

And as the straight edge

Reaches three o’clock

It’s time to go

On her majesty

How can the royal chauffeur

Drive her safely

WHY DO WE NEVER LEARN?

We look back at past mistakes

And yet we do the same again

We view history

Without learning the lessons

Time and time again

But every time

History repeats itself

The price goes up

And it was a bad choice on reflection

And the trains were delayed for hours

WHINGING BRITS ABROAD #10

 

While we were in Spain

I bought a Rolex from an Algerian

Which turned out to be a fake

I’ll never see those 10 Euros again

THE RUSSIAN AIRFORCE ARE FIRING

 

The Russian Airforce are firing

Amazon missiles at Syria

They are so called as they keep

Being left with a neighbour
