Cheap Trip

Soak in the chemicals so desired by you And go tripping to places with glorious views. Fly up sides of mountains to descend twice as fast. That Rocky Rollercoaster may be your last. Facilitator: Ellis Dee © David Girard 26/07/19

Mourning Dew

sky fall rain drips below billowing black raiment of cumulus clouds crowding clear radiant hue from firmament to briny abyss blue morning dew mourning eyes sob and cry out to the heavens that continue to bedew the likes of me and you lest the cistern run dry before tomorrow’s mourning © David Girard 17/07/19

Jack of the Green Stalk

It’s truly unique to bear the name that personifies a game like the esteemed “Jack Green” of lawn bowling fame. Master Jack Green is not clad in a Green Master’s Jacket but plies his keen bowling skills on grass and carpet. Nothing bowls Jack over more than green sans moss and clover and shorn within a blade of its life. Jack of the “mighty lean Green stock” frequents the green scene with an obsession to stalk “wee jack white” of the bowling green.

Patron-ism

You can work off your bar tab as a unique form of rehab or loan me your new android phone to call a free cab with loud sirens and bright lights all on display to whisk you away for a week and a day!” © David Girard ...
