There’s no particular order for these poems. Some are mildly amusing, perhaps. Most aren’t. In that respect they echo the inner workings of my tiny clockwork brain, a few cogs from which were discovered missing several years ago when I was diagnosed with Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. (Look it up. It’s good for a laugh.)
If you enjoy them, leave me a friendly comment and then seek professional help from your G.P. If you don’t, well there’s plenty of other people haunting the ether better suited to an argument than me, so go and bother them instead.
The artwork and the photographs are all mine as well. (Well, most of them are.) If you’re predisposed to nicking third-rate images for your own postings, then at least give me a credit somewhere. It’s only polite. Otherwise I might sneak up on you in the middle of the night and put a cat down your pyjamas.

Hello, welcome to Planet Blog!
Many thanks for finding the time to drop in to my beeseeker blog: much appreciated.
April 23rd, 2013 at 9:01 pm
No problem. I’ve decided that the Blog-o-sphere is a lot more sophisticated than Facebook. Less postings about what people had for their tea, that sort of stuff. I’m looking forward to seeing how long it takes for me to outstay my welcome.
June 28th, 2013 at 4:19 pm
I love your sense of humor:-D
June 28th, 2013 at 4:37 pm
Ta. 🙂
July 18th, 2013 at 4:54 am
I think you’re right. I am new to blogging, but I am finding it quite interesting. I already don’t know where 3 hours went! I think you’re very talented and enjoy your style of writing, and poetry. Thank you for sharing it.
July 18th, 2013 at 10:17 am
Thank you. I’d write a more amusing reply, but we’re in the middle of a heatwave and I can’t get my brain into second gear this morning.
July 18th, 2013 at 1:34 pm
I heard that. My sister in law lives in England. Pretty amazing! Enjoy it while you can. 🙂
July 18th, 2013 at 1:53 pm
No…I don’t like the heat. I like rain and snow and force ten gales. Sunshine doesn’t seem natural somehow.
April 24th, 2013 at 5:11 pm
Welcome back! I’ve not missed you since I’ve not known you, but feel that you will be missed when I get to now you.
April 24th, 2013 at 6:12 pm
Thank you Basiga. (I think I’ll call you Basi…Basiga sounds like something Sheldon Cooper would say after pulling a prank.) It’s good to be back. Not that I’ve ever been here before, but you appear to be a cat owner and that’s good enough for me.
April 25th, 2013 at 5:00 am
Brilliant poetry, brilliant ‘About’, just brilliant blog overall. I found it due to a reblog of one of your poems and I’m so glad. You have a very unique voice, great humor, great style. I look forward to reading more! 🙂
April 25th, 2013 at 10:03 am
I’ve gone all red now. Not me blushing. I had the controls on the shower set too high.
April 25th, 2013 at 11:11 pm
LOL..brilliant responses to comments too! Your humor is fabulous..so natural!! 🙂
April 29th, 2013 at 4:56 am
not that I would not credit you, but I must advise that any new cats in my pyjamas will need to be thin, and fight their way past the cat under the duvet.
TLE ? oh dear, much sympathy/love. It might be a bitch but look at how lovable/compelling your personality is for it. Without, you might have been ordinary boring. an investment banker or something like X X
April 29th, 2013 at 8:31 am
An investment banker? Hmm…off chartering the accountancy, as Monty Python would have it.
April 30th, 2013 at 1:11 pm
Blogs are where people not only do posts about what they had for tea, breakfast and lunch, but post recipes with gluten free alternatives. 😛
April 30th, 2013 at 4:31 pm
Hello Esme! I should have known it was you.
April 30th, 2013 at 4:26 pm
Ah, now, recipes I don’t mind. There’s a point to recipes. Photographs of half-eaten beans on toast with Johnny Depp quotes attached to them, on the other hand, shared ad infinitum with comments such as ‘Am nikking this. Johnny Depp iz wunderfull!”…well, that’s Facebook.
May 1st, 2013 at 11:34 am
I for one am glad you’ve taken to blogging. I don’t do Facebook. Bleuch!
Apart from the ‘content’ therein, I don’t like how Fb itself can steal one’s work should they feel like it.
Welcome to Bloggyland!
May 1st, 2013 at 12:07 pm
Facebook is where creativity goes to die. I’m much preferring Blogdom. They’re a much more eclectic bunch out here.
August 9th, 2013 at 4:43 pm
I have joined you in the wilderness
August 9th, 2013 at 6:11 pm
The exodus from Facebook eh? It’s turning into Logan’s Run.
May 8th, 2013 at 1:56 am
Hi Brian …
I have just nominated you for the “WordPress Family Award”.
You are a part of my virtual family, feeding my mind and supporting my passions on blogagaini.
What you need to do in acceptance of the “WordPress Family Award”:
Display the award logo on your blog.
Link back to me as the one who nominated you
(http://blogagaini.wordpress.com/about/awards/)
Nominate 10 others you see as having an impact on your WordPress experience and family and let your 10 Family members know you have awarded them.
Congratulations!
May 8th, 2013 at 2:08 am
Thank you Basi. I’ve absolutely no idea what any of that means or what to do about it, but thank you all the same. I haven’t figured out how to get my WordPress Reader going yet, let alone how to put images up in my sidebar etc. I’ll get round to it as soon as I’ve figured out which way up my monitor goes, honest.
May 8th, 2013 at 2:12 am
Good luck! It’s a lot of work.
I hope that you will still be in communication with me.
May 8th, 2013 at 2:16 am
Haha…I’m busy on it right now. Whether it’ll actually work or not remains to be seen.
May 8th, 2013 at 2:19 am
Done…I think. There’s an image in my right hand column that links back to you anyhow. The nominations, on the other hand, will have to wait, because my tablets have started to kick in.
May 8th, 2013 at 2:39 am
WoW! That was fast. I guess I should have taken those tablets. I have eight down and two to go.
May 17th, 2013 at 3:12 am
You have been nominated for the Versatile Blogger Award. Yay! Go you! If you wish to take part, there is more information available here: http://defusingchaos.wordpress.com/2013/05/17/award-nomination/
May 17th, 2013 at 8:09 am
Ta. Is it just me, or are these awards WordPress’s equivalent of chain-letters?
May 17th, 2013 at 5:59 pm
It’s not just you. And if you don’t send it to 100 people you will begin to enjoy polka music.
May 17th, 2013 at 6:37 pm
Begin to enjoy polka music? Again!? Noooo! And my CPN said I was all better! Where’s my contacts’ list?
June 3rd, 2013 at 5:18 am
I have nominated you for the “The Sunshine” Award. I appreciate you letting me into a little corner of your mind/world and do hope others discover and enjoy all that you do.
So…Congrats!

Thanks Melanie. I’ll check it out when this flu gives me a chance.
June 3rd, 2013 at 5:44 am
Hughesy darling, I don’t mess about with nominations, I am awarding you the Ain’t No Sunshine When You’re Gone Award. (smooth jazz, a song by Bill ‘we all need somebody to lean on’ Withers.
June 3rd, 2013 at 9:15 am
Er…ta. I could do with a ‘Ain’t no Flu Around’ award right at the moment.
June 30th, 2013 at 8:15 pm
Hey I still ain’t seeing your face in full!
June 30th, 2013 at 8:40 pm
That’s because my face comes in different size packages that can only be seen at different phases of the moon.
July 31st, 2013 at 4:26 pm
Having a party and you’re invited. Bring your own sleeping bag.
August 11th, 2013 at 3:01 pm
Hey Brian, it’s Basi, but you probably know that. Love your profile pic above! BTW my first name is Sonam.
August 11th, 2013 at 5:03 pm
Hello Sonam. 🙂

No new poem today Brian? has the kitten finally driven you insane (more insane) x
August 17th, 2013 at 12:27 pm
Ended up in the vets with Biscuit, twice, and had a Tom sitting on my computer chair unwilling to budge for the last twenty-four hours, amongst other sundry minor disasters.
August 17th, 2013 at 1:54 pm
Cats, can’t live with them, can’t put them between a sesame bun either.
August 17th, 2013 at 9:39 pm
I might manage it with junior.
September 7th, 2013 at 10:02 am
Hopefully I will be down to see you soon. Seeing as you have a birthday with a 0 in it looming on the horizon I will be bearing gifts ( I wouldn’t get too excited though)
September 7th, 2013 at 12:18 pm
I’d forgotten about that. I was more looking forward to Doctor Who’s fiftieth to be honest.
September 7th, 2013 at 1:20 pm
Might be next Thursday or the one after that. I do want to get to see you before your “big” day, mother permitting.
September 7th, 2013 at 5:07 pm
Big day? I missed it completely last year, if memory serves. By the way Carol, you may or may not have noticed, but that’s you on the front cover…
September 9th, 2013 at 12:56 pm
Yes I had notced Brian, I was waiting until I saw you to mention it…..
September 9th, 2013 at 5:02 pm
You’re not bringing a lawyer, are you?
September 17th, 2013 at 4:23 am
just got your book today! Looking forward to looking through it. 🙂
September 17th, 2013 at 10:25 am
Excellent! My proof copy turned up today as well. Haven’t had chance to check it yet, though.
