Hit - A poem

 Once in a while, I may decide to put in a little bit of poetry on here. I blame other online poets but actually I really admire them. Here is the first. It was interspliced with a story that I will no doubt publish as well. Do let me know if you like it. 

Hit 

I got hit. 

By a man with a stick. 

A twit. 

Of a man with a stick. 

On that stick. 

Was some shit. 

That twit. 

Of a man hit me with a shitty stick. 

I don’t like to mix.

With twits.

Who have some shitty sticks. 

Who like to hit.

People like me. 

I am in such a fix. 

When I meet a twit. 

Who wish to hit. 

Me with a stick. 

Covered in shit.

Flow

Flow - even the onomatopoetic way the word flows, sorry, out of your mouth. The f being the force as it explodes out of your mouth, followed by the "el"and the only vowel of the word and concluding with the cross section of a wave.  According to that font of knowledge, Wikipedia, has 42 separate definitions or examples of the word flow. With that number, we could squeeze in a quote from the Hitch Hiker's Guide to Galaxy, where Douglas N Adams (his initials take us down another rabbit hole to Cambridge and nearly forgetting Friedrich Miescher .) Adams had written that Earth had been made to calculate the answer to Deep Thought's question on Life, the Universe and Everything. It was run by mice, wasn't it? Okay, so what does flow mean? Funny you should ask. Well, you could say that it is the motion of particles in a liquid or a gas. I am sure that we have all done that cheeky fart under the duvet after a good meal and hoped that it would be a gas and not a liquid...

Four Letter Wrdz - An Introduction

Image
 So what is it? Always start with a question to hook them.   So Four Letters Words (or Wrdz) is a collection of observations, recordings and musings about four letter words. Like the advert about Ronseal wood stain - it does what it says on the tin. That advert shows my age. Cast your mind back to 1994, Was this the time of Changing Rooms and that one about decking over gardens with Alan, the auburn haired lady and the tall man? Dave Shelton and Liz Whinston came up with the line that made Ronseal a brand leader in its niche of the gardening paint department.  (Source -  https://www.creativereview.co.uk/does-exactly-what-it-says-on-the-tin/ ) For those I have asked already, you know who you are, is to come up with a four letter word that is pertinent to you and we would discuss it for 20 minutes. It may lead to other four letter words and many shorter or longer words. It is about language and so much more. It is also about remembering. I and my brother got to that ag...

Fang

Fang - F A N G - the elongated teeth of the classic Hammer Horror and Universal Studios film character. It may come from the Old English and the Old Norse - a grasping or capture, the act of seizing. It has been stated, after a study of 10,000 words in 1975, that words from Old Norse make up about 5% of those 10,000 words. The Oxford English Dictionary suggests that there are 170,000 words in current use with 47,000 words no longer in use. I think it has already been mentioned that the name of a Starbuckian coffee shop has come from a Scandinavian country. ( Fang) Back to fang, the word, can be used to describe the large sharp tooth of an animal. The canine teeth of a dog or canine. Hence, I guess, the name of that tooth but it is also the tooth of a venomous animal, poison is injected by the snake as it buries its fangs in the flesh of the victim. Also, the spider has fangs too in which it kills its prey with venom coming from the fangs.  Was it Ricky Gervais who talked about...
