Bank Holiday

I spent all day
fussing
about uploading
some poetry
onto my blog;

I went to a birthday meal
that cost 50 euros a head
and yet
I still found
reason to complain -
this old boy has life yet,
some might say.

But then the shit struck
and stuck to the fan blades:
a volcano 700 miles away
is like
a stone
stuck in our
craw;

but I'm sure profiteering
will come
before
passenger safety
soon enough.

I spent all night writing,
and went to bed
happy
but numb
and before I clocked off
I wiped myself clean
and thought of you

like the pitiful
old dog
I am.
