the gathering

the gathering

my witches are all gathering

and the cat is so fluffy

and ready to sit on a broom

so look to the sky

the casey witches are flying

in the air tonight

I even had

Tooth Fairy Pass by

she waved her wand

I even took a photo

but no you can never see it

some jokes must stay in the family

so before the dawn breaks

we will all be eating burnt cakes

and Tinnitus if it does not kill me

will turn into Tittarnia a fairy

and Putin will get a surprize

when Totoro eats his meat balls

Watch for Ballet on TV in Moscow

then we really know

PUTIN is GONE

****

a prayer a hope a sigh, Putin another Brick in the Wall

Russia hikes interest rates to 15% to battle inflation

Newsflash: The Bank of Russia has raised its key interest rate from 13% to 15%, a larger rise than expected.

Announcing the 200 basis point hike, the Bank of Russia says current inflationary pressures have significantly increased to a level above its expectations.

This is the third tightening of monetary policy since the summer. In August, Russia’s central bank lifted rates from 8.5% to 12%, after the rouble weakened through the 100-to-the-dollar mark, and followed this up with a rise to 13% in mid-September.

The Bank of Russia says it now expects annual inflation will range from 7.0 to 7.5% this year, well over its 4% target.

It expects inflation will decline to betwen 4% and 4.5% next year, “and stay close to 4% further on”.

Inflation has been lifted, in part, by the weak rouble, which has fallen from 75 to the dollar at the start of 2023 to around 100/$ earlier this month.

The central bank says:

Higher inflationary pressures are seen across an increasingly broader range of goods and services. This means that a steady rise in domestic demand is progressively exceeding the capabilities to expand the production of goods and the provision of services.

These conditions boost businesses’ appetite to pass higher costs on to consumers, which is driven among others by the weakening of the ruble and labour shortages.

The Dead and The Living

              The Dead and The Living (c)

 

                           by

          

                     Michael  Casey

 

 

     I first saw a deceased when I was nine years old ,my father said  not

 

     to worry as the dead are the same as the living ,  only the  laughter

 

     has left them ,  the sparkle has gone from their eyes , the worry has

 

     been lifted from their shoulders ,  and their voice has vanished  to

 

     eternity .

 

     In  paradise the sparkle will return for it is the  twinkle  of  the

 

     stars , the laughter will return too for it is the morning breeze and

 

     the turning tides are their sides shaking with laughter .

    

     I treat the deceased with the same courtesy as I give to the living,

 

     though I find the deceased are always more polite .  My father also

 

     had a few words to say about the living .

 

     He said that the living are only the caretakers of the  soul  ,  yet

 

     they think their existence is everything , that they know everything

 

      because they experience many things with their senses .

 

      What the living don't acknowledge is that their time is  short  and

 

      when I lay their bodies to rest then their souls  continue  without

 

      them ,  without their strong ,  without their weak ,  without  their

 

      beautiful or even ugly temporary form , to where I cannot say , only

 

      that it is a better place .

 

      Percy the undertaker placed the lid on the coffin ,the soul was free

well i had to go back to bed for afew hours due to Tinnitus and Pain, still not a law firm

well i had to go back to bed for afew hours due to Tinnitus and Pain, still not a law firm

So much Evil and War in the world

so in a way I feel Guilty, being happy

also the atmosphere makes it harder to want to be funny

Discuss

Guilt and Comedy and Black Humour

10,000 words by Wednesday

NOW

I just rattle it off and when I'm done I reward myself marks out of 10

sometimes when I reread I cry, or I laugh aloud

It's only when it's done that I stand back and take it all in

like Tom Sawyer and that Fence, maybe

I do annoy Russian daily with emails, or icons mainly

Icons are an interest

as is painting

AND Music too

not that I can do either

But with words I make Cartoons Made from Words

which is one of my sites

And also in my non sleeping Tinnitus time I may email you

Random thoughts from a tortured soul maybe

And as I awake several times, I may email

Moscow again and again

That's why FSB hate me

but i am getting Perfume for Christmas, maybe

just like Salisbury

so this is my life, and I never want a surprize like that, ever

You get what I give you, when I want , pain permitting

Still have to sort my wifi, and then I'll save some money

for luxuries, called Student Daughters

I could paste in a random piece but you can look for yourself today

4500 pieces on this site alone

feel free to pay me by buying a book on Amazon

but nobody does

I'm nobody's child, altogether now SING

or maybe I was adopted, like Orphan Annie

at least the Sun had come Out

TOMORROW

and yes I put snaps in so you know who to blame

and yes since Putin went Barmy, too much Politics

but you can pick out the best bits, and leave the rest

on the side of your plate

How about a Tic Tok challenge

Walk like Putin, like a mechanical toy, arms swinging

10 years in jail if you did that in USSR 2.0

God Help Us

literally

so pray 


Moscow put a new Ballet on, I have my shoes ready, 

and an Empty chair, for whoever comes AFTER Putin





Sunday 22 October 2023

Horrible day of SNOT, PAIN and TINNITUS not a Law Firm either

 Horrible day of SNOT, PAIN and TINNITUS not a Law Firm either

physical pain due to Tinnitus, and wind outside, the storm affects me TERRIBLY, 

Barometric Pressure

you tell me Medics  how can you cure it.

Then my shoulder lasts a hour or too on top, with me screaming in pain

that's my day today, its 10.30pm now

BUT

as I wake several times in the night, once I finally get to sleep


I can send EMAILS TO MOSCOW and the WORLD

in the vain. hope of changing the world , just like AA , not the drinkers  but Amnesty International

My Balls are no secret, I bounce Email to Moscow to get straight to the People

Putin is a CLOWN, time to remove him

Use your Talents as the Bible says

So Emails and Stories is how I start a Revolution of Love

I am also a Gorilla with a Rosary, so be very careful

Published by michaelgcasey

I've updated this 18th March 2022 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 2,000,000 Words worth over 34years 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 100 now if he is still alive, so say a prayer for him 54 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 54 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, 30 years plus 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" 3700 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 90 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 100 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 3 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 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. 21 Door Keys, key to the door 21 on Bingo, hence title, 53,000 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. 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 Michael Casey aka the fat silver haired writer in shades from Birmingham England https://2.gravatar.com/avatar/efda2dca0de5b9269191b7c8b0102473?s=400&d=mm
