Scam Letter Maybe

 Scam Letter Maybe (c)

By Michael Casey


Dear Sir { insert. name)

If you see that then it's yet another Faker, reading off. blackboard

If you have talked to them once and they don't reference what you said before

Then show them the door, now as I write this I am in incredible pain

So I may stop again finish this on  Friday 17th Sept

I was actually writing 2 emails earlier on and I had to stop because of pain

But as I finished those emails with

I must take a pain killer

They probably think I'm a scammer

Though a few minutes Googling me reveals all

And no I'm not a stripper as I put in the 2nd email

So the receiver may think I am a scammer

Or Hopefully has a sense of humour

I don't want to waste my pain free time on those who

Just cannot smile or laugh

Not even if they are beautiful and intelligent

Because Arrogance is the biggest TURN OFF

I'm Beautiful Adore Me, push her over and let her taste the gutter

But I digress 

So a real person should say

I spotted you on the internet, I read X Y Z or I saw this picture

snogging a man/woman/cat or murdering your mother in law

And just wondered how did you escape the Police

If nothing is referenced, and they don't reply to your reply

If you had replied because you were bored and were testing them

Then they are just a bunch of idiots wasting your time

And trying to commit crime

That's why when I get top of Google Search Engine

OR  Website tidy up

I alway say NO, and return a silly image of me

They have harvested my email and never actually talk to me

So I send them some of my rubbish in return plus a photo

So now you all know what to expect

SO don't bother me ever

Not unless you are a doctor for real who might 

cure my pain

But be aware you will be challenged to pose

In such a way that proves you have a sense of humour

One finger up your nose another on your hip

Nothing that can be grabbed off the internet

I've had people in hospital beds, and pretending they are them

BUT  I just reply, hope you die, because I know its FAKE

Just because my  own body is battered and broken

I won't put up with BS

So now you know

WHO whoever, or whatever the latest scammer is

Yes, I'm even crankier when I'm in pain

But a genuine person, or even a real fool

I will give all my time too

Because that's the way we are in the Casey family

Enough, I have also been talking about French Culture and Sociology 

with my small daughter sat in the chair in the other next to me

A Levels and all that

She still loves me 20 by the way

20 being the greatest number she knew when she was a child

27 was the challenge my other daughter gave me 

When I got out of hospital in jan 2015 after quadruple heart bypass

27 like in the 27 dresses film

Such a large number, and that's the amount of books I should write

In other words live longer

I'm on book 21 now, and Tinnitus does slow me down

So if I finish in 7 years time that's past the average life expectancy post quadruple heart bypass

Obviously I'd prefer to meet and marry that Korean girl and have 4 more kids etc

But really that's something for my Bucket List, that'll never happen

You are my Spring a Kdrama about a doctor with a new heart and a  female concierge

That hit a chord  with me

But Kdramas touch my. heart, and I sing along to the songs

Love beyond reason is what they are all about,

So go watch some for yourself

And stop sending rubbish emails to me

just go to my Wordpress and read in every language

Though right now its locked

Who Have  I upset?

Don't know, it's probably my sausage fingers

Like the butcher In The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker

ok enough, I'll try and write something else in the morning

Spotted Tom Cruise on tv in the other room

they stole his car in Birmingham and got all his luggage

so I had to lend him a pair of my knickers and a clothes peg

to hold it up

Still waiting for the large size folding Wayfare sunglasses

as a reward.

Or maybe that's just  a future scam letter to me

he can put his gun in our fridge

Rikki and the crew

Rikki and the crew hello to you

I hope you like reading the book

The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker

just lie and tell everybody it's great

Or like Humpty Dumpty I'll fall off the Garden Wall







15th Sept update

 13 Nations reading me yesterday over on Wordpress

including Surinam and Quick Stories in Korean is still flying off the downloads

So either the Koreans and like the Irish, all over the map

Or somebody is reverse translating it

However a ton of other downloads too in many languages

So why are you reading me?

michaelgcasey@hotmail.com to answer that question

AND SCAMMERS AND THIEVES ITS NOT AN INVITATION TO ANNOY ME

I DELETE 100s unread ever single week

and I never click links

Meanwhile Japan is reading me, so hello to them

as well as the Koreans in Korea too

I just started a new Kdrama but it a Taiwan version

Office Girls, its funny what. I've seen so far

Obvious the Korean stuff I've seen is better

But I see loads of foreign stuff and watch subtitles

Never have American English dubbed on, it ruins it

You could all read my play Shoplife written in 1988

It could have changed my life...

My dead sister said it reminded her of Woolworths 

where she was at her most happy, it's her one year

year anniversary soon

As you read the story then Bernadette the Born again shop assistant 

is based on her

And yes the Play is not PC

So I'll finish this chat for today

Just get vaccinated, its a one in 100 years thing, we hope

Or empty pride and vanity will lead you to the hospital, 

or graveyard

There is too much noise in this world, and a madman was king

so never never never make the same mistake again

Just stop and listen to the sound of  Silence

Pricked twice and 3 tubes of blood, despite test tube shortage, so I must be special, or just a train wreck

Pricked twice and 3 tubes of blood, despite test tube shortage,

 so I must be special, or just a train wreck

Had my blood tests today

Over here in UK my age bracket we'll get a 3rd shot too

We also read about how CRAZY Trump was

But we all knew already, 4 years hiding the nuclear button from him

Dr Strangelove and all that

It is a tragedy, that folks have still fallen for his LIES

And GOP haven't got the  HONESTY to dump Trump

Instead it's all the Emperor's New Clothes

When is ANYBODY going to say TRUMP is naked

But sadly it appears the LOVE of money is the root of all Evil

No, I'm not anti-USA, it's a great place but it has fallen from Grace

And by the way Moving situations move, so answers move too

This child like use of tapes and video

IS STUPID

He said this, now he's doing that, so he has flip flopped

Have you not seen High Noon

Amy who is against guns, uses a gun to save her husband

The point is, sometimes you have to do what you have to do

And change plans, because it is needed

and if the Tide comes in, you move

instead of being a Canute

TAKE A VACCINE and do not DIE

Its a Civil War of Ignorance in USA

Tonight we have a rapper meddling ignorantly

And putting on a fake accent to berate Boris Johnson over Vaccines

Boris has another baby  on the way, is the reply to her

Please for your own sakes

Take the Vaccine, the dead and dying is now amongst the UNVACCINATED

Or is Pride more important than your life

Meanwhile they say, 

The Prayers I say Tomorrow will have helped you. YESTERDAY

So everybody of any Faith at all, say some Prayers for Wisdom

before the Graveyards engulf us all

I'd rather write a funny story for everybody

And I do write for Everybody, all Faiths and None

an 90+ countries read my rubbish all over the world

The Space Station would be a great place to read me from

So if you are in Space, then read this poem for

All the Human Race


Let There Be Light ©

By Michael Casey

Let my tears be my words

Let the candle light be my eyes

Let the flowers in bloom be my lips

Let their scent be my blood

Let the wind be my breath

Let clouds be my mood

Let children’s laughter be my hope

Let widows’ sighs be my conscience

Let a stranger’s prayers be my delight

Let the bees be my wisdom

Let the trees be my strength

Let my patience reach to the stars

Let me be always remembered in your prayers

****


I used to hide in a Saint Phillips cathedral on my lunch break, as it was cool and I could sit down, I stood all day is a hot print room,
one day this “prayer” bubbled up. I hope others think it of use.


so that's the poem's History, but I rather we all have a Future, and the Squabbling stops. So use those Rosary beads, or beads from any faith, and see if we can save the Human Race from itself

A Tinnitus Story

A Tinnitus Story ©

By

Michael Casey


A Tinnitus Story, I wish I never had to write this, but it is a pain in the ass, or is it asp? Where is Elizabeth Taylor when you want her, she’ll do it for a $1,000,000 she said, not wanting the role, but they gave her the money, so the rest is History.


As for me Tinnitus jumped on the bus, or is it my Magic Roundabout of Pain, 3 years ago, 2018, I think. Though years merge, especially when you are screaming with pain. Now where does Tinnitus come from? It’s not actually there, it’s a by-product produced in your brain, that your ears fizz. Mine has got worse this Summer and yes it‘s a bummer. During the day the noise, the hiss, the shake rattle and hum, like an Irishman on a drum subsides. But at night when you go to bed the tide comes in, and its such an infernal din. 


It may take hours to get to sleep, or even 8 hours later and you have not slept. So, you have an early breakfast and let the cat in or out, this is anytime between 3 and 7 am. No wonder Lockdown Belly is getting bigger, a you have a hot drink to wash down the toast. The cat, Totoro our Ninja killing machine, may awake just to see will I share anything with her. Or demand to be let out, for a predawn killing spree, Frogs are nice, so I’m told, or just hanging loose with the foxes. And yes she’ll sneak up to the Woods, for a swim in the still with Lech, Boris and Gregorgi. That’s why Totoro’s coat is white as the driven snow.


Meanwhile I shake the bread crumbs from me, I’ll say it’s the cat’s dandruff, and climb the stairs again. Then exhausted I’ll get back into bed again, and finally sleep. With all my scars and my through bypass hernia I can no longer just dump myself in my bed, I can no longer be a Kebab on a Stick. I am more the Elephant Man, only able to sleep in certain positions, the Karma Sutra reduced to the cover position, not the actual cover position, just I can only sleep in one position. Then 2 hours later, or is it more like 90 mins recently, I suddenly awake, and the roar of the sea is in my head again. So I negotiate that, and get back to sleep and my one Karma Sutra position again. 


And that’s not forgetting the trying to get to sleep mind games. Music does help a lot, as just the Sound of Tinnitus is horrendous, so you  break it up with music. The Hills are alive with the Sound of Music, or rather the pillows are bashed, you trash the duvet, you open and close the curtains so you get enough air coming in. Then you sleep and may have to do it all over again. If you are lucky after each slot of sleep, you actually get back to sleep relatively quickly. But if you do not then, just SUFFER. Am I exaggerating, probably the reverse. And have an old phone ready to distract yourself, with Music and News and any Damn thing, just so you are so tired the roar of the sea is tamed and you get back to sleep again.


You finally get up and you make use of the Day, as best you can. But at least you can have a nap on the sofa later on as you are just so exhausted, and nearly fall asleep at the keyboard like Duncan used to do, 40 years ago maybe. I hope he had a nice life, and lived in the Daylight and no Night Shifts, or maybe joined a Circus. So that’s about it, as I now have to go and have a _. Tinnitus is no friend of mine, it’s no fun, a dollop of cream on top of my cake of pain. And worst of all it slows me down, and pushes me away from the writing. So this is enough on Tinnitus, I’ll get back to another proper story tomorrow maybe. 


And that’s why I have a Korean dream, it’s really a bucket list, as what are the chances of that. Though read Padre Pio and Me, and see just how remarkable is my Shanghai Life. And yes I really was vetted by a Chinese Ballerina in The Queens Tavern, a straight bar up the side of The Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre, home of the Birmingham Royal Ballet in our Gay Quarter.  Or read Birmingham is Ballet, perfect for the stage anywhere, in a Circus tent even. Ok enough of this, my small daughter will be home soon, so we can have Year 13 chat, then she’ll ignore me and play with Totoro our cat. And yes, I did say my girls could have a Dog if I died or a Cat if I had a heart attack, then weeks later I was having what turned out to be a Quadruple, and the photo is really my bare chest, after they shaved me. Now I have a breast poking through a Hernia, I am one of the 1%. Or maybe you think I’m one in a 1,000,000 as a Chinese Uncle once said.


Or maybe you think I’m one in a 1,000,000 as a Chinese Uncle once said.

my bum is still this big, 20 years on

12th Sept 2021

12th Sept 2021

this is a chat

if you see (c) by Michael Casey THEN that is a story

and stories go into books when I compile them

but not this

So, I have an idea for a story I really want to write

I may do it today or not

As you know my PAIN descends like mists

and can kill me for hours and hours

with Tinnitus like Buddy Rich along for the ride

Now 13 Countries yesterday were reading me over on Wordpress

Korean Translation of Quick Stories is still doing great

But Arabic translations are there too

Never Translate from A to B to C

A to C  is always better or you get even more mangled words

If you backwards translate that may not even be correct

So English to Korean to Spanish just don't do it

and English to Korean then back to English from the Korean

You won't get my Original English

And yes there is a joke in there, a double meaning

My Original English and my Original English

If you miss what I just said, then you need to practice more

AND YES I couldn't do any translations

It's not. putdown 

I only put down in English and then share via Translations

As a way of gaining readers

One day a fancy translator may actually do it

Elenor Goodman was a name I stumbled over 

She has Tinnitus, and is a Music Journalist

WATER is part of the answer, so I'll be trying that

But there is also a Elenor Goodman, a Translator in USA

Chinese into English

So both of them made me smile as I waited for the scream

to die down before  I got out of bed

I listened to Sweet Chinese singer, and old album

I don't understand a word of it

Perhaps I need the help of two Elenor Goodmans

They can send me a message in a bottle

but put China or Ears in the subject line so I can tell you apart

Meanwhile to the left of me my small daughter is doing a Geography

Field Work essay thing, 20% of the final A level exam grade

So I have to be seen not heard

Upstairs Sleeping Beauty is catching up on her sleep

Last night at the bar where she had a summer job

Me, I got up in the dark, and then kicked out the cat

as I waited for my big daughter to return as Dawn broke

Milk bottles clinking and all that

Over in USA a Clown who WAS President still gets courted

When he should be Counted Out  for FOREVER

And still MORONS. won't get vaccinated 

BECAUSE ITS THEIR RIGHT TO KILL EVERYBODY ELSE

The Unvaccinated are the vast majority now DYING or in HOSPITAL

Mainly GOP supporters too

A nation divided against itself cannot stand

And  the shock jocks refusenicks the Right for Rights people

Yes, they are dying  too

Some being April Fools Every Day of the Week

This is all so SAD

USA, used to stand for HOPE

Now its Rope a Dope, with Trump smiling

As once Great Oaks Fall

Is it all about the Love of Money

Has  he ran out of CASH

With a Nation drowning in Illness

All we hear is LIBERTY

But Liberty is LOST if Covid 19, 

Kills you stone dead

Is that the death knell ringing

Or Trump at the cash register smiling

As the Punctured USA sinks


Discuss



Triple or Quadruple?

Triple or Quadruple? Well my 10 year anniversary is coming up I was told prior to my op it would be a triple BUT when I had a 6 month review...
