Three squibs
The Road Not Taken
On seeing two signposts pointing opposite ways to Edenderry,
one that said 8 miles and one that said 10
She bid me take her hither,
I bid her take me yon
But I being young would dither
And now she's taking John.
Down by Edenderry
Our rendezvous was set
But I went by the long road
And now she's with that get.
So listen all you geezers
On Erin's craggy coast
Always take the short cut
Or else your arse is toast.
.
Nearly Man
Ah me and Carmel Kavanagh from Navan
In a caravan in Cavan
Almost consummated our mirage.
Then a one night couldn't stand
With Anna from Knockananna
In Banna sur la Plage.
I nearly humped Dymphna from Crumlin though,
On a drumlin near Drumshanbo
But never knowingly akimbo,
She dumped me at Crimbo,
Which ruined my image
In Kimmage.
.
He wishes for the green and silver bits
After WBY
Had I the heavens’ embroidered circuitboards,
Enwrought with silver of solder and flux
The boolean half charge of decision scores,
Resistors and matrices of maybes and mux,
I’d encrypt there the tales of Arabia for you.
But I being poor have only my wee jests;
Tread softly because you tread on my jesticles.

John Lewis Christmas advert
This is really lovely. A lot better than the one last year. Full marks to JLP for carrying on this tradition of theirs and for being a workers' co-operative, of course, and a great shop. And a John Lennon song to go with it.

Harrow Cricket Club fireworks 2014
Waiting for the show to start |
Snaps can't do justice to the spectacular display. |
The fireworks were good but I didn't think much of the crappy music. And while we were waiting, the hundreds of kids and toddlers rushing around having great fun were bombarded with horrible lyrics in some songs, one of which I found particularly annoying with such lines as "I'm your lover, I'm not your fucking mother." I suppose kids have to get used to that sort of thing now, but really tacky DJ-ing, to say the very least, given the audience.
