Very Lost For Words

I am told that use of the word 'Very' is not literarily correct!
Well thanks very much, I'm very upset about that.
This link helps eradicate the very use of very

Words in use so very many

Defines a writer’s voice

Counting equals content
The 'very' emphasis of choice

In the finery of palaces
very in corroboree
so very self importantly
‘very’ stresses snobbery

Used in anger or a compliment
adds very essence to attention
in a bankrupt mind of word ideas

The 'very' word one must not mention

As A Matter of Fact

When debating a ludicrous notion
If all is it at sea in the ocean
Or whether today is yesterday night
Maybe vanishing cream a demotion

Is your point of view a promotion
From a lifetime of thoughtful devotion
Conjuring dreams of preferable schemes

close to inventing perpetual motion

Do black holes create by implosion
Does knowledge degrade with emotion
Is the colour of green a sign of serene
Born out of continual erosion

Do all things begin with commotion
Ground and mixed up in potions
Perhaps you and I are not what we see
Just products of timely explosions

Amazing Pace

Dave Allot is an old sea dog, a trawler man no less.He is a tough old bird and that's for sure. He recently suffered a stroke whereby he became paralysed and lost all speech. This is a truly devastating situation and swift attention is vital. He was administered a  most remarkable medication and within a few days back home walking and talking in his usual manner.

Stroke Patients Who Reach Hospitals Within 'Golden Hour' 

Twice As Likely To Get Clot-Busting Drug

 As a leg-pull I penned a cheeky rhyme and Dave asked me to post it on this blog.

Trawler man Dave Is a cheerful bloke

We were most upset when he had a stroke

Dorothy his wife didn't hang around

At Mach-one speed he was ambulance bound

He lost his speech limbs paralyzed

within rapid time hospitalized

they looked him over worked out a plan

shoved him in a tunnel and gave him a scan

They diagnosed Dave as a serious clot


Administered medicine to the perilous spot


Even doctors were amazed at his rapid healing

Walking, talking, singing songs with feeling

Four long days later sent home to his clan


Even Doctors applauded our miracle man


Many thanks to the scientists, the medical team


Who returned our Dave with a full head of steam

Zing Went Zhang’s Ring

STORY LINK 'click here'

When attending ones ablutions

be observant be alert

Take extra care with valuables

absent mindedness avert

Be warned, I read an article

A Chinese guy called Zhang

In a shower flipped his wedding band

Where from his soapy finger sprang

Then down the squatty potty 

to his horror lost his ring

at lightning speed he plunged his mitt

Alas he could not feel a thing

He screamed out 'call the fire brigade'

It seems his search was out of luck

Much fumbling in the drains remains

his swelling metacarpus stuck

They came with drills and hammers

to excavate his bowl trapped claw

his pit stained mitt the stench of it

they gagged to free his septic paw

It seems his ring has gone for good

causing many sleepless nights

all that affluence now effluent 
He’s filed a claim for squatter’s rights

Merry Weather

Nights are getting longer

Daylight passing quicker
autumn wind is blowing cold
as bus queues groan and bicker

Mornings now devoid of good
Heavy clouds are raining sad

Apart from ghouls at Halloween

We're on the lighter side of bad

Costly comfort bills are rising
the well worn overcoat is on
our optimistic family car
Sounds more like a dying swan

Our garden built on summer dreams
looking saggy dank lackluster
is showing signs of self-composting
Pre-empting winter's knuckle-duster

Discounted Savings

The autumn sales are beckoning
I've hidden all the cash

Just in case she has a mind

To be impetuous and rash

She mostly has the upper hand
her rationale is smooth as honey

'Look at what I bought today

I've saved you so much money'

We have a modest budget
though savings never seem to grow

Moreover quite the opposite

On the downward side of low

Quite skilled with crosswords puzzles
on points of money I'm perplexed

With all those shopping savings

Our empty coffers have me vexed

The answer finally came to me

In a blinding obvious flash

Summer Autumn Winter Spring

Slashing prices slice your cash

Goodness me! I hear ecstatically
I have to grab that it’s so nice

Only yesterday two thousand bucks
A blinding steal at half the price

A Chilling Tale

I have the most amazing wife
adept at home preserves

Pickled onions pickled eggs
Jam and Marmalade conserves

The other night I mentioned

there are ways to live forever

Packaged cryobiologically

Payment terms on 'Never-Never'

She looked it up and checked it out

so thoughtfully so nice

Then bought a new chest freezer 
part filling it with ice

She placed some duck down bedding

I climbed within to try it

Once again she proved to me
When made at home no need to buy it

Passing me my tablet

to check out the battery life

Then filled the freezer to the top
such a kind and caring wife

It must be me at my old age

though technologically quite bold

Too long I feel this product trial
I'm now quite numb and very cold

If anyone should read this rhyme

With experience in locks

I will appreciate you tell my wife
I feel that death is on the rocks
