5094 - Friday Feeling

It may have been that Friday feeling, but

I forgot my sonnet diary entry 

Got caught up in podcasts, Netflix, forgot 

My sonnet, and for that I am sorry 

It was a pleasant evening, if lonely 

Actually it was fine. Good chat with Pearl

Promised I’d cook a salad recipe 

From a book she bought me for Christmas all

Of nearly two years ago. Hope I will 

Live up to that promise! More beer bought 

In fact I went to Sainsbury’s twice and the

End result, I dozed off in the middle 

Of Mindhunters, episode one, I thought 

It was boring? I was too drunk really...!!!

5093 - Incredible

Today, work wise, was just incredible 

I excelled myself, demonstrated I am good 

So proud of myself, best moment in all

These years, and that is understood 

Just had to get beer in and feel like God

This is the pinnacle of my career

I’ve got a new employee and he should 

Do well under my managership, we’re 

Two peas in a pod. Today I felt fear

I was asked a lot, but think I’ve done real 

Well in the time given, and proved I could 

Do anything within reason. It’s clear

Whatever they ask, I can do, so well 

I’ve lived up to my potential now, bud

5092 - Now

I worked hard and well, then celebrated 

With a few beers, and then spoke to Louis 

He’d been watching football yesterday, had

Forgotten he was supposed to speak to me 

He’s losing his job, inevitably 

How can I help, I thought, what can I do?

That’s one more thing on my list, one, two, three

Before that chat and after, listened to

Podcasts of all kinds, still doing that now 

I’ve added more podcasts to those followed 

Netflix and YouTube can wait as I see

How up to date news podcasts can keep you 

But now my brain is tired and awaits bed 

But it’s only ten, so I’ll watch TV

5091 - Where’s that boy?

Where is he? The one on the left? That’s me

On the right. On his left, when we were there

At just that moment of reality 

But on the right in the picture. Don’t stare!

But where is he now? Doesn’t remember 

We were supposed to chat, starting seven

O’clock, obviously! He doesn’t care!

Or maybe he’s out there having some fun!

I hope so. Time to cook, and just for one 

I’ve got quiche. Might eat it all - I’m hungry!!

Can’t have a spud with quiche, can I? Nowhere 

Says I can’t, but I just don’t think I can 

Too many carbs, I’ve got to stay healthy 

At least sometimes, unlike last night’s affair 

5090 - Oh!

Hey, what’s going on? You think you know? I don’t 

It’s Monday evening, the sun shone, but now

It’s night time and what was happening now won’t 

Instead it’s this so why don’t you allow 

Reality to break through anyhow?

This is the sixth line, must get to the point 

But no-one ever does, so then just how 

Should I? Maybe it’s time we should anoint 

The saviour to correct this out of joint 

World that we live in? But then what’s the point?

You try your best but then you just say wow

There’s no way they will give you an appoint-

Ment, so let’s carry on regardless. Spent 

Too long on this ship from the stern to bow

5089 - New sound

Yesterday went to this cafe, and saw

These records under the counter right there

And today it’s been ok. Scared before 

I finally did it - no need to be scared

Put Vee’s old sound system back together 

Not everything works properly as it should 

But I’ve avoided wires cross the floor 

The subwoofer works, so the bass lines thud

It’s a while in this flat since I’ve enjoyed 

That deep sound and even stereo speakers 

I can watch Netflix, YouTube, sitting here

In front of the TV, the sound’s so good!

Can’t seem to Bluetooth to my phone, so there’s 

No amplified Spotify - such a bore!

5088 - Walking

I haven’t walked so far since don’t know when 

From home to Vee’s in Ancoats, to collect 

A cable for the TV, back again 

Via Wilco’s and Holland and Barrett 

Then out again but this time wearing shorts

And trainers, as it was too hot for jeans 

The Gay Village was where me and Jo met

Wondered where to eat, we found a genius 

Jamaican place, the food filling our skins

I had goat curry, delicious, best main

For absolutely ages. Walked a bit

Sat on a bench, watched Midland Hotel scenes

Archies milkshakes followed, she caught the train 

And I walked home and watched my TV set
