You Handsome Dog<\/b><\/p>\n
Handsome was the type of man who when entering a room turned heads<\/p>\n
He was aware of this fact and his life was a series of failed relationships<\/p>\n
He would date beautiful women and expect them to admire him<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
You was a church warden and was very happy in his calling<\/p>\n
He felt loved by God<\/p>\n
And was radiant in his behaviour<\/p>\n
He cared for women greatly<\/p>\n
But had no time to experience relationships<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dog was a vicars daughter<\/p>\n
Her real name was Julie<\/p>\n
But she had become accustomed to her cruel name<\/p>\n
Although a beautiful person physically she was unattractive<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She admitted Handsome from afar<\/p>\n
But knew that he was repulsed<\/p>\n
When he looked at her<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
For all the time he spent with beautiful women<\/p>\n
Handsome was aware that his looks would fade<\/p>\n
And then he would look for a life-partner<\/p>\n
Who was not beautiful<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
At the age of forty-nine You proposed to Dog<\/p>\n
During an outing with the choir<\/p>\n
She accepted his proposal on the spot<\/p>\n
It was the happiest day of her life<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The following year she wrote a book<\/p>\n
It was called<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
SNATCH FICTION<\/p>\n
Every Tuesday I retire to my sister\u2019s house for lunch<\/p>\n
This is strictly a fiction as I do not have a sister<\/p>\n
Pray for me

I live in a Post-Modern house<\/p>\n
And keep a Post-Modern cat<\/p>\n
I have a Post-Modern wife<\/p>\n

I am a Post-Modern man<\/p>\n
Coffee<\/b><\/p>\n
As she rose from her seat on the train Mercy stumbled forward<\/p>\n
She was holding a carton of station coffee<\/p>\n
The contents splashed violently forward in the direction of a man in a grey suit<\/p>\n
Who was due to attend an important meeting in the city<\/p>\n
Oh I am so sorry so very sorry<\/i><\/p>\n
Said Mercy trying to suppress a smile<\/p>\n
The man in the suit said nothing<\/p>\n
Trevor was standing in the vestibule unaware of the incident<\/p>\n
I spilt my coffee and it splashed a city gent<\/i><\/p>\n
Did it piss him off?<\/i><\/p>\n
No he said nothing<\/i><\/p>\n
That as nice of him<\/i><\/p>\n
Mercy handed the almost empty carton to Trevor<\/p>\n
Be a darling and dispose of this will you<\/i><\/p>\n
No I will go further than that<\/i><\/p>\n
I will find the most destitute man in this town and present him with this carton and the remains of your coffee<\/i><\/p>\n
That is a rather cruel thing to consider<\/i><\/p>\n
It is my greatest gift for I am The Polish Jesus Christ<\/i><\/p>\n
Said Trevor as he adopted a mock crucifixion pose<\/p>\n

The Butterfly Sun\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n
The Butterfly Sun hangs low today<\/p>\n
In the distance the dusk clouds are gathering<\/p>\n
