Waiting for the exams to be over
Well it's exam time in our house
Big Daughter is at University, she has 3 days of exams left in May
Meanwhile back here in Birmingham
Small daughter has littered the study, ok the front room where I'm sat
She has littered the floor with folders
Open folders for me to trip and fall over
And no she is not trying to kill me
for the life insurance, as I don't have any
just pennies left in my Private Pension fund
Small daughter has 9 papers to do
starting in 2 weeks time and continuing for a month
So I have a month to continue tripping over folder
Totoro our cat comes in to have a look
and wipe her backside on Techtonics
Before sitting in the front room window
Like an Amsterdam madame
Why do cats like to sit in windows
As for me my Tinnitus has exploded in my head
and refuses to quieten
I've slapped pain killer on my shoulder too
And paracetamol taken for my head
Luckily I get boxes of 200 from my Pharmacy
Yes 6 times what you can buy in shops
But, I'm special as you know already
I can hear you all laugh at that
As special as coffee spilt all over the floor
I did that already, luckily I have plenty of A4 paper
to mop it up with, thanks to my Student
Annie Lennox is singing in another room
I have doors open as it's hot
An old smart speaker and an old phone connected
So my Old music collection can still be heard
I have to have music 24/7 to distract me from Tinnitus
Though lately when I wake up instead of an hour
to calm down, it lasts all day
A bit like living near a motorway I suppose
In reality I live on a hill, yes I am a fool on a hill
next to a wood
But the hill is so steep it could kill you
especially if you have a bad heart
I did have a quadruple heart bypass already
I'm smiling now, what will kill me first
Though I do intend to last as long as I can
I still dream of writing that sequel
to The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker
and the sequel will be Tears for a Butcher
all I need is that Korean typepist
And then we have 4 kids and form a Kpop band
Though in reality,
A tap the window, small daughter is back home
Time for cuddles with Totoro the cat, then back to the books
10 hours a day studying is what she does
now the background music has changed as she is home
She ate my salmon from the fridge, at least it wasn't the cat
So I need to get some shoppin in for another week
And on it goes the circle of life
and my own circle of pain
but I should not complain, I am not in Ukraine
and neither are you
I'll try and write a new piece to keep us all smiling
Tototo has just come in the study, but left in disgust
maybe it was the music, or just the smell from me
my painkiller gel, though I will fart later
as my Aunty Delia in Killarney used to say
wherever you are, wherever you may be, let you wind go free
Do they fart in spacesuits or spaceships
And there are no windows to open either
That's enough for now
I must watch a Kdrama
they are the best thing in my life as far as TV goes
I could be a PSY stand-in
though he is much smaller
How do they dance so well in Korea
That's all The Sound of Magic is calling me
another tap at the window
Food Fairy has come
ok , bye all for now
