Spink Who Was Known for Her Unusual Kink

There was a young lady named Spink
Who was known for her unusual kink.
A vicar called Brown
Wore Spinks’s silk gown.
And Spink she lived in his sink!

Oblivion and all that

This post brought to mind these lines of A.E. Housman: “Good creatures, do you love your lives

Here is a knife like other knives,
That cost me eighteen pence.

And all you folk will die.” Its an interesting and thought provoking read (this post of course and Housman’s brief poem). Kevin

Getting On

It came to me in a flash that when I die, the whole world will come to an end; not just for me, but for everyone in it, as far as I’m concerned. Now, I’m not a great one for philosophical thinking: existentialism, for me, might as well not… er, well… exist, but I do find it slightly comforting to know that the whole universe can only exist for as long as I am in it. When I cease to be, everything ceases to be. Unfortunately, from the same view point, it will never have been in the first place – so, not much point in keeping backups of everything on the computer is there?

But when attending confession
She shows some discretion.

So lets not cast aspersions
Nor bear a grudge
For I have heard assertions
Her favourite is a judge!

Anticipation of Dissipation

His anticipation of dissipation.
There will be wine
With a girl divine.
Just his type.
And she may stay
For the night.

He sends her train fair.
“I’m on my way”
Her Watsap will say.
He goes to buy wine.
While she smiles
And remains online.

When a young lady who is really curious
Said, “I like to go fast and furious!”.
Me and Miss Stride
Had a great ride.
But her boyfriend he was more than furious!
