Who polices the police?
20,000 protest.
They want more money.
What's all this about then,
an advert of hypocrisy?
Did they hit you
with a bat, Old Bill,
for leaving your beat?
Did they hit you
with a bat, Old Bill
your violent
plates of meat.
Did they hit you
with a bat, Old Bill
for standing
In the street?
Did you carry your
guns, Old Bill?
Was it a blast?
Are you going to get
pissed, Old Bill?
And then get glassed?

Nothing happened.
What?
WHAT?
I didn’t say anything.
Why?
Why…
are you looking at me?
Okay it rained.
It did, yes.
A lot?
Well...
define that.
Okay...
It rained so much
today. It covered
the rain fall for
the entire month.
Happy?
What?
I didn't do it.
I didn't do anything.
It's just...wet.
But...
Oh, the stock market
that...sort of crashed.
I didn't do it, though.
Stop looking at me.
I am innocent.
I am...free
an innocent
in all the above.

Reasons to be cheerful:
It’s a deadly flesh-eating
form of pneumonia!
Complete with tennis ball-size boils
on the skin: Ladies and Germs,
I give you the USA300 bug!
Even…fatal blood poisoning or…
a necrotising pneumonia
which devours the lungs.
Wait, it gets better…
It’s resistant to conventional antibiotics!
Yes! And…it’s very difficult to treat.
It can be spread by those involved in sports,
such as wrestling, with skin-to-skin contact.
So put those tights away boys.
The potential widespread dissemination
of the infection into the general population is…alarming.
Alarming? Why…set mine, yes set mine
for the end of the world.
Ring.
Ring.
Ring.
Nobody home.

A man with the blue face,
tries anti-freeze. Trapped underneath
fallen masonry. House of horrors.
9-year-old girl's face mauled.
‘Maddie The Movie’
Cast me, cast me,
as the one,
the one who got in,
the one who got out:
the devil.
Or, the god.
The prince
of tapas.
The acrobat
on the line.
The tight line.
The line...so tight.
It hurts;
It hurts;
so much, daddy.
So much,
daddy.

THEY ARE THE “PAST”, AND VERY LIKELY THE SLITHER, IF THE SLITHER IS THOUGHT OF AS THAT ACCOMMODATING MANOEUVRE YOU MAKE TO ESCAPE NOTICE, OR GET BY UNSCATHED. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO GO AROUND ONE, YOU WILL FIND ANOTHER (WINKING AT THE FIRST) HAS MYSTERIOUSLY APPEARED ATHWART THE TRAIL. OR MAYBE IT IS THE SAME ONE, MOVING WITH THE SPEED OF PATERNITY. LOOK CLOSELY AT COLOUR AND TEXTURE. IS THIS GIANT SQUARE BLOCK OF MARBLE SIMILAR IN COLOUR AND TEXTURE TO A SLICE OF ROAST BEEF? YOUR VERY FATHER’S COMPLEXION!
