She took my hand
And said
I rule this land
Which was, for the most part, sand
I noted dryly
Devoid of life and #arid
Even so the baroness of this desert, she parried
So like your love life
I whispered slyly
Your's too
She said smiling
Because I hear you are married

I stopped reading and stared across the water
You seem distracted, she said
I was, was thinking of the sadness of Anita
I'm glad we upgraded to #deluxe the balcony and view of the lake, she said
Deluxe? Oh deluxe, sorry I misheard, I said
You're happy with this? I added as an afterthought #vss365

Fortune had not been in his parents gift
On the ladder of life
Stuck on the bottom rung
A father who spent his days rolling dung
And him a deathwatch #beetle working the graveyard shift

I used to work in advertising and came with a campaign to market the ' #ultimate pen ' It took a while to realise why no one took me seriously.

See there is a Picasso exhibition at the Tate Modern.
My wife said I would never cut it as an impressionist
She is laughing on the other side of her face now

Science fiction is the product of an #elastic mind
And just occasionally
A stretch of the imagination of a different kind

Memories are merely stories we tell ourselves - consciousness a memory of what happened 250 milliseconds ago. So let's keep on looking for the car keys and stop arguing who had them last.

Is the pen really mightier than the sword
Because mine only caused hurt
When it left an #ink stain on a shirt
That cost more than I could afford
