5063 - Zzzz

Woke at five to five, back to tiredness 

Like all last week, it’s started up again 

Too tired to do daily exercises 

Too tired for a comedy creation 

This evening, though on Sunday I did pen

A sketch which before filming must rewrite 

Bony Tony’s Jokes Workshop is its name 

Maybe I should still work on that tonight 

It’s early July but the light’s not bright 

Such a dismal summer brings memories 

Of 2015 when it seemed the rain

Would never end. So sunshine isn’t quite 

The reason for waking. In winter this

Still happens sometimes. It’s a bloody pain!

5062 - Uke-alyptus

A good play on my uke - I’ve just finished 

Everything played was fast and unrehearsed 

First played The Ruts, then immediately rushed

Into The Undertones and their fun first

Album I bought in ‘79. Burst

Of record-buying then, paper round cash

Bought stuff I heard on Peel, ordered by post

From vendors in the NME ads. Flash

Sod I was with my cool taste in the class-

Room. Next, Buzzcocks played with a great flourish 

And finally, Dexy’s my final thrust 

And thus ended this lone musical bash

Toiling away in my flat, a small fish

In a smaller pond, but such fun is this!

5061 - What?

Matt Hancock on the tv spouting shit

Egg shaped head praising himself despite all

The evidence of how bad he’s handled it 

Yet the media allows it to cancel 

Out all his errors while he gives us bull

The UK is one of the worst statistically 

In the whole world. It seems that they have killed 

More than most but they still think that all we

Should do is accept they’ve effectively 

Controlled it. Well, egghead, this is bullshit 

So give it a rest, it’s not rational 

There’s no belief in your bullshit party

Stop talking, start doing, and then we might 

Give a shit about your big pile of bull!

5060 - Hot stuff

A friend showed a picture of sriracha 

Not heard of it til this Wednesday’s meeting 

I bought some - not the one in this picture 

But Sainsbury’s had some opposite the cooking 

Oil. Tried it on my dinner this evening 

Half a quiche with pasta, mushrooms and peas

My mouth is just now losing that burning 🥵 

Sensation and I’m feeling all at ease

Not ill at ease, all at ease. I was pleased 

The Cancer Charity Shop superstore

Is back open. Was there today buying 

Books and a cheap white table, matching chairs

But I couldn’t squeeze it through the hall door 

But for a table I’ll keep on looking 

5059 - Boring

So boring tonight, don’t even want booze

That’s good though, I’m so tired, and drank last night 

I need a night off, recharge batteries 

Then maybe tomorrow I’ll feel all right 

Just called the mortgage line, had a real fright 

My two and a half grand I paid in June

Was not showing in my account. It might

Have been lost forever. A sense of doom 

Flooded me, almost lost it on the phone 

The call centre guy gave apologies 

But in the end I checked my account quite 

Sure all was lost, but on the 8th of June

It had been refunded. Now I refuse 

To pay unless at a branch! Bag of shite!

5058 - Balls

So tired could barely function, so knackered 

But had important work, choosing my new 

Employee who I’ll manage, was worried 

I wouldn’t cope with what I had to do 

I did ok though, stamina came through 

Though sleeplessness makes you fat, so they say 

Somehow I did it, lots of phone calls too

But you can rely on me to make hay

When talking’s to be done, whatever they 

Wanna talk about. I can’t be deterred 

After the work was done I then thought, phew!

Now for a nap, but instead chose to pay 

For four bottles of beer and that’s interred

Inside my tummy and I feel renewed!

5057 - Ironic insomniac

Yesterday, joined an online seminar 

About getting a good night’s sleep and yet 

I had the worst night for ages by far 

At 4:30 was reading Twitter sat

On the sofa. Already it was light 

And the birds twittered along with my phone 

I was too tired to read my book, and what 

Was the point going back to bed if I won’t 

Go back to sleep but just lie there alone 

The seminar attendees comments were 

Frequently that they also couldn’t get 

The needed seven hours - it’s so common!

Somehow managed to work from hour to hour 

They warned us against booze and cigarettes...
