I was brought up in Leeds, about as far from the sea as you can get. Our family wasn’t well off, but we did OK.
I’m of an age where we had flash cards to help us with spelling in infants’ school.
So who the fuck thought I’d need a complicated word like “Yacht”?

This young woman has been propping up the fragile UK care network since she was 8 years old. She took on a role after asking if she’d be penalised and told “no”.
The UK care system is fucked!
I’d be tempted to start a “gofundme” but she’d lose even more.

I’m sure I’m not the only person thinking this, but wouldn’t it be karma if trans men started using the public toilets for their biological sex. Let’s see how terfs react to that!

People will say “they could voluntarily pay more”. Of course they could … but not many would.
Us millionaires should pay more tax. I don’t care if a few will leave the UK, it’s simply the right thing to do.

Well, we’ve watched 14 goals in 2 matches so far. Equally shared between the home teams.
I’m not going to the Palm Tree to watch Villa now as I’ve a feeling I’ve seen all the goals worth seeing today.

My first M-I-L died today. She was 91. My heart is breaking and I’m sobbing. She was sharp, sassy and an anaesthetist.The first time I met her she said “don’t know why David wanted you in Kit’s room - we lived together years before we married”

I think the fourth verse might be the best …
Today’s poem is called ‘This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes’.
![This is One of Those Poems without any Rhymes
This is one of those poems
without any rhymes,
the sort of thing you might read
in the Telegraph or Time[crossed out] Guardian.
For, as proper poets know,
rhyme’s deleterious
and only gets in the way
when you’re trying to be serious[crossed out] profound.
It’s childish and cloying,
simplistic and singsong
to bat rhymes back and forth
like some dull game of ping pong[crossed out] table tennis.
To the literary critic
it will cause great affront,
which will make you resent them
and think them a snob.
This is also one of those poems
which looks like it might go on to say something insightful
about the human condition
but then just kind of ends.

The only reason Nigel Farage has not yet jumped on the Elgin Marbles bandwagon is that he can’t quite bring himself to object to sending something foreign back where it came from.
