Scream not Michael jackson but me

Scream not Michael jackson but me

the skeletal muscular stab to the heart

so I've slapped on the pain killer

and fed the cat and will repose on the sofa behind me

in just a minute

for  a couple of hours

before tv calls me

I have routines to fill the day

providing tinnitus isn't fogging my day

just trawled through my email

moscow must get revenge by sending

hello big boy emails

Hong Kong is still reading like no tomorrow

so thank you, i hope you are not stealing

my stuff for essays

you can always pay me by buying books

and help feed my Shanghai Birmingham family

https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Michael-Casey/author/B00571G0YC

but none of you ever do

Singapore has suddenly returned

but now they have to overtake HK

so good luck with that

and now I must rest

tinnitus is physically and mentally tiring

you have to put up an umbrella defence

so stay happy and buy a beggar a sandwich and a bottle of milk

Celebrate Thanksgiving that way

as Trump continues to destroy USA from within

2 poems for you from Michael Casey Birmingham

Let There Be Peace on Earth Again (c)

By 

Michael Casey

Let there be Peace on Earth Again

Let there be no more mindless invasions

Let there be no more intimidation

Let there be no more people shot dead in the street

Let there be no more bodies identified just by their nail designs

Let there be no more shallow graves

Let there be no more LIES

Let there be no more Theatre of the absurd to Justify those LIES

Let there be no more Hospitals destroyed

Let there be no more schools burnt down

Let there be no more Death while you sleep in your bed

Let there be no more Underground hiding places needed

Let Subway just be a sandwich again, not just a place of safety

Let Churches be open and full of celebration

Let Funerals stop being a constant, constant, constant event

Let Marriages take place with Joy

Not with eyes to the sky looking out for Death

Let Food shopping be fun again not a quick dash under attack

Let a walk in the park with Sunshine on your back return again

Let stopping to talk and chat be normal again

Let News be something different every day

Not just Putin's Insanity over and over and over again

Let there be time for making Love again

Idle lazy time, as your stoke her hair, and cuddle together

Again and Again and Again and On and On and On

Instead of stolen moments, as your Ears Listen in case of Attack

Let LOVE come back, Love, and Peace and Happiness

Let Hospitals have flowers all around again

Let Gossip and Laugher ring out again

Let Singing and Music fill the air again

Let skipping and bouncing for joy be in Children's Hearts again

Let Old Folk meet and greet slowly, ever so slowly again

Let Church Bells Ring Out again

Let the Lights come Back again

Let. there be Peace Again

Let there, Let there, Let there

Let there be ALL things again

BUT WHEN

When Russia is BEAT

For ONLY then

When the Immaculate Heart of Mary

WINS over Savagery and Bigots and Insanity

Only then

Can there be Peace on Earth again

AND

Let The Sun Shine Again (c)

By 

Michael Casey

Let the sun shine again

Let the pain fade away

Let the tears dry up

Let the hair be combed again

Let the lipstick be applied again

Let the smiles reign again

Let the eyes sparkle again

Let the breathing be normal again

Let the singing begin again

Let the footsteps have a bounce again

Let the pace become faster

Let the joy inside come out again

Let the dancing begin again

Let the laughter ring out again

Let the hugging and then the kissing begin again

Let the hearts beat faster

Let the love rule again

Let the Future hold no fear again

Let the Promise be over the horizon

Let the Fear be banished again

Let the Fear be totally and utterly gone again

Let there be Love in our hearts again

Happiness and Joy and Laughter and Dancing

Singing too

Don't be afraid to  let Love reign again

The Past is Over

We are in the Present

The Future is ours again

Let the Sun Shine on Us again

All of Us everywhere, in the world

Whatever we do, whatever we want

We can have it back

Because we are not Afraid anymore

There is Love out there

Just don't be afraid to grasp it

Let the sun shine in your hearts again

For Evil will pass, and only Love is Left

Ask Sancho Panza, I read it on Google

only the other day

And 50 years ago I was Christened Sancho Panza

by one of our Priests

So I am Sancho Panza, and Michael Casey too

Michael Casey the fat silver haired writer in shades from

Birmingham ENGLAND

and my. message to all of you all over the world and in multiple languages 

is just this

Let the Sun Shine Again

and never never never allow Evil to freeze your heart

for in the Sunshine everything GROWS

 

I am part of the Blue Army, a gorilla with a Rosary

MTG

 MTG she pushed and Trump gave in

after GOP joined in for Political expediency

What if MTG seat flips

that would be an earthquake indeed

Meanwhile NURSES are going to lose student grants

The women hating GOP will continue

and the tragedy that is Trump will continue

and what about Ukraine

surrender like a Turkey at Thanksgiving

Is there no hope?

Yes, there is always hope

Nothing is impossible to God

an in God we Trust

People are worth one than a dollar

so give prayers generously

Pray Hope and Don't Worry as Padre Pio said

and I copy

I am a gorilla with a Rosary

after all is said and done

and even written

Michael Casey fat silver haired writer from Birmingham

and that's in ENGLAND where Shakespeare is from

head down the toilet, constant flushing of noise

head down the toilet, constant flushing of noise

this is my head with tinnitus, a lost day

and Trump is putting Pres Z down the toilet

so Trump can demand a late Nobel for Peace

Its surrender Donald

And Putin would come for the rest of Europe later

and who will defend Ukraine if they are attacked again

28 step Tango, the Last Tango in Kiev

With Godfather Trump

swallowing all the resources

A bad deal is a bad deal

Just as Trump hides behind his desk all the time

Can Donald not walk any more

He is trying to make Ukraine walk the plank

A week is a long time in Politics

and an hour is the timeframe nowadays

STOP all the MONEY

give Russian money in Western Banks to Ukraine

to PAY for all the damage

NOT reward Putin cos Trump Inc

will make a pretty penny

as It Pees on Ukraine

this is what it is really about

Pennies from Heaven for Trump

and Russia is allowed to Pee on it

Turn the Stop Cock

OFF

Ben Jennings cartoon

21/11/2025 ~ michaelgcasey ~ Edit"Ben Jennings cartoon"

A real lunatic is in charge of the White House, and everybody is pandering to him

Just say NO, and give all Russian money in Western banks to Ukraine

you never reward a bully, Trump in his delusion thinks he’ll get a gold star for his carve up

NOW after all that has happened in USA

is the Time to bring Trump down, and have a Revolution in Moscow

HOPE not Putin

I've updated this 15th Sept 2024 I'm Michael Casey from Birmingham England, the fat silver haired writer in shades. Beware of Others with the EXACT SAME NAME, they are not me, and would not want to be me ... use Google UK to find me, otherwise Posh Americans pop up I've done loads of writing, about 3,000,000 Words worth over 36years now But before I started to write, I LISTENED to BBC Radio 4 for 20 years, from the age of 10 or younger Frank Brown our lodger, went back to County Tyrone and he gifted us his Bush Radio. He'd be nearly 102 now if he is still alive, so say a prayer for him 56 years in love with words, and I still look so dashing. I have a picture in the attic, just like Dorian Gray I've also had an interest in Politics for 56 years with my dad heckling the tv and Politicians. I almost immediately had a hit, a play called Shoplife was accepted but not finally produced by a Theatre. The Kenneth More Theatre, so thank them for sparing you all. This was back in 1989 yes, 35 years ago, the play was written in 1988. So since then I'm more than good enough, as a writer. Anything else..... I also ignore those who just cannot write, pick your own candidate I tend to write Comedy as I'd rather make you laugh than cry I have written over 2000 short pieces of writing, yes 2000 " (c) by Michael Casey" If you include "chats" 5000 samples, all told, the chats do NOT go into my books when I compile them. My first book ,a full length comedy/drama is The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker You can read translations of it here on this site Up to 20 different languages/translations have been read on the same day via this site, here on Wordpress look fo Translations Galore page, and more And in over 167 Countries world wide too so you have no excuse, find your own language and read The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker or Quick Stories or any other of the books in Translation on my Wordpress This proves to me that the humour does travel I have readers in over 167 countries now, just to repeat myself From Nepal to American Samoa and all places North South East and West Or its just a hit man on the run, or whatever Unknown Region Means It may also mean that only non English Speakers like my stuff Coverage but lacking penetration as marketing folks might say I did get 21,000 readers in 3 weeks for the Polish version of In Search of an Indian Princess. which is basically the final 3 chapters of The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker all by word of mouth. And 50,000 plus in Christmas week 2021 If you add up all the downloads from my Wordpress + 13,000 when somebody stole the file. I have had more copies than Boris Johnson's Churchill book distributed. Maybe 40,000 copies . Not made a penny from it, free downloads in multiple languages. Reverse Logic, if the world knows me, eventually somebody will pay me But in reality I'll be dead first, and then just 2 pennies to pay the ferryman is enough I've cut the Plaudits, you can read/decide for yourself As for my life, I was born in the shadow of a Brewery, I was a computer operator for a market research company into alcohol sales, 21 years altogether, StatsMR Call centre guy, like everybody once in their life I was also a Trainee Betting Shop Manager I was a concierge and 10 other roles at Crowne Plaza NEC Birmingham for 3 years. Spent 3 years at Pinsent Masons Law firm in Birmingham I even hid a copy of my comic novel "BBU" in the Law Library at Pinsent Masons, well just for a day.. I did a few other jobs too, working life in reverse so to speak and I was an Esol English teacher in an Islamic school, for a year, I knew I could teach. I got Excellent, Excellent and Exemplary on the external assessment, yes really And I asked them to pray for me at least once a day beside which I've had a Shanghai connection for 20+ years now, including 2 bilingual daughters and being a hausfrau a long time too, I'm a great dad, as I've had lots of time with my daughters I can always make somebody talk or laugh I believe my short stories could be used to teach English, just package them up correctly or App them Or a Tale a Day from Michael, a story telling App What else, I was brawn and brains, I used to be as strong as an Ox, now I just smell like one We have a cat called Totoro, my daughters wanted a pet I said they could have a dog if I died , or a cat if I had a heart attack. A few weeks after that in Jan 2015 I had an Unplanned Quadruple Heart Bypass , it was supposed to be a triple but it ended up a Quadruple, 33% extra free so to speak. Now with an add on Hernia, the size of your fist, pushing through my bypass scar, it hurts when I laugh, so don't make me laugh I also have arthritis and other hindrances that hobble my body and give me pain galore. But my mind is free, though having read my stories you may wish I didn't bother But I'll ignore you, and carry on regardless. I do get heckled by my own Tinnitus these past 5 years+, so I have music on all night long to drown it out. I sleep with Miley, Taylor, Eric Clapton and Will Young, maybe I should buy a bigger bed, or just get a better mattress. Tinnitus is a curse, just trust me I know, each day I wake up, Tinnitus SCREAMS at me for a full hour till it calms down or not at all, a merry go around of noise That's the end of the tidy version of my life To finish here's the list of my 20 books, so far:- 1.The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker 2.Shoplife 3.Essays and Plays 4.Blogs 2011 5.300 and Not OUT 6.Shorts 2013 7.More Shorts 2014 8.Quick Stories 9.Still Alive 2015 10.Undiscovered Words 2016 11.Still Smiling 2017 12.Altogether Now 13.New Horizons 14.14 Up 15.15 Down 16.Sweet Sixteen 17. 17 Again 18. 18 New Views 19. The Final Cut of the 19th Hole 20. 2020 Words 21. Fresh Fields, i decided was a better title, when the USA election is over I'll launch it 96,000 words so far I write bullet point stuff mainly now as Tinnitus stops me from getting in the zone to write, story stories. (c) by Michael Casey stuff though my bullet points are better than some "writers" discuss, miaow. That's why I dream of a speed typist, so I could dictate from the sofa https://www.amazon.co.uk/Michael-Casey/e/B00571G0YC to buy ebooks Loads of Korean and Arabic translations downloaded from my Wordpress, 1000s of them Quick Stories in Korean is a big hit. Maybe Kim in North Korea should read my books, instead of wasting his countries resources on what? Just keeping one person in power, him? Instead of joining the real world and opening a string on golf courses. That way we could get rid of Trump too. Into the sunset, as they play golf. Tears for a Butcher will be the sequel to BBU, and it too will be 600pages, however I really need a speed typist to put it down, while I sit and dictate like Barbara Cartland, and hopefully my speed typist would be impressed. we'd marry have half Korean kids, and form a Kpop band with our 4 new kids, with me as manager. my 2 daughters are at University now, so if you finally pay me, I can pass it on to them And yes this is more for my bucket list, as Tinnitus keeps me awake too much, 6 months of not sleeping till dawn is really killing me, it is the worse thing in my life ever, and I've had far to many horrible things. That's why I go the other direction and write comedy Michael Casey aka the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham England https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/efda2dca0de5b9269191b7c8b0102473?s=400&d=mm View all posts by michaelgcasey

What Writing Means to Me

What Writing Means to Me ©

By Michael Casey

Well I tend to write every day now, it used to be 3 or 4 times a week, now its daily, well almost. It took me a year to Learn how to write properly if you like, back in 1987. Once I had finished writing my novel with the catchy title of The Butcher The Baker and The Undertaker I knew I had cracked it. Then I wrote a play called Shoplife which was a comedy about a shop, a store closing down, this was accepted for production by a professional theatre, back in May 1989. So whatever negative words I might get from anybody about my writing I know I’m good, if I allow myself to sound like an American.

So the question is what does writing actually mean to me? Well it’s something I can do, it fosters my intellect, and no I’m not trying to be pretentious, pretentiousness is the worst thing in the world as far as I am concerned. By writing I am showing myself at my best, I can’t run fast  like Hussain Bolt, nor be as charming as George Clooney, I am his 238 pound look-a-like after all. Despite my Health going down the drain these past 4 years, I am a Writer and I can still Write, so it is proof I am still a Man, a weak useless man some may say, but can they write like me?

Moreover I can tell a tale, I would say I’m a storyteller, I make cartoons made from words. As I said to Lilley in the Coop the other day when I had my photo taken by a nice Indian Lady, maybe my first ever fan photo. Well I told Lilley that I am just a pointing signpost and let people think the rest for themselves. I don’t want to be graphic, let people work it out for themselves, a metaphor is more fun after all.

As Jill once said to me when she was not talking to Jack, you lead people up the garden path. And so I do, I hope I lead them to laughter, and as we all know Laughter is the Best Medicine. And yes like all comedy writers I’ve seen or experienced loads of sad things, so the natural course of action is to be the opposite. Writing works for me because I don’t know what I’m going to write about till a minute before I start these short stories, so I’m only a sentence if front of you the readers.

At the moment Poland seems to have adopted me, I loaded up a few translations to my site and hey presto 18,000 readers in a couple of weeks. Why I don’t know, I’m doing an experiment for a few days by removing the translations and asking them to contact Fakt the Polish publication and see if I get a column there in Polish translation. Probably won’t work but you have to try don’t you?

Now the ability to tell a tale is the 2^nd oldest profession in the world after sex, somebody did something and there was somebody who told the rest of the tribe of cannibals about it. The storyteller may have become an after dinner speaker, in fact he may have been eaten for spilling the beans. Writers become gods and have women throw themselves at them, hasn’t happened to me, well maybe just song writers, or writers of self help books.

To create a story you are having mental sex, because you create something from nothing, and you are left with a warm glow when you finish and read back what you have written. I start a story and it flows almost like pouring water from a jug, if you asked me just to verbally tell a story without sitting here and writing it all down on the computer I may not be able to do it as well.

The action of typing acts as a magic means of translating thought and ideas into something more than words on a page. Yes I can tell a tale if we meet in Aldi or even the Coop, but my best work is when I’m sat here in my chair talking to you right now and putting all the words on a page. I don’t know what I’m going to write next, it’s like a broken jigsaw in my mind and when I type as I’m talking to you all right now the words form the jigsaw in the right order, the picture is formed correctly on the page, as if by magic.

Some are saying it’s a “Gift” and then belittle me the writer, but my journey started when I was 8 and out of fear of Mr Gallagher started to read intensely, then 20 years of constant BBC Radio 4 listening, then 30 years of writing, or rather the writer’s eye. I am very observant, or try to be so when you add that all up its 50 years. So if I can’t tell a tale by now then I’d have to be a Dunce or a Donkey. And the girls still don’t throw themselves at me, so I must be a really rubbish writer.

battered but never beaten

Trump's Grubby little deals

Trump's Grubby little deals

Trump will be ousted by Christmas

So do not allow him to sell Ukraine down the river

as his parting shot

Because Putin is already at war with the West

with the sabotage campaigns and hacking Internet

Putin can still be a brick in the wall

and the ballet can be changed

Courage is a word

something Trump never had

Bluster is not courage

Trump given purple hearts

for his bone spurs

and FAKE wars for his macho man self image

But really he has a broken heart

because Finally everything is hanging out

And who is the little piggy now

Time to remove Trump and return to sanity

And who is pulling Trump's strings

He is pinocchio broken and left

in an oval office chair

shamrock with deep roots will survive anything, show some Faith
