Sixty Nine

Over the last couple of days I've been drinking loads of Ginger Beer. I had to read the Famous Five because as one of my final uni projects I think I might be writing a kind of spoof Famous Five musical, but it must have planted a seed (a ginger seed...) because ever since, I have not been able to stop with the stuff. It doesn't help that it's probably the sugariest fizzy drink I've ever come across and it's costing a BOMB. I might have to get myself onto a recovery program. Do they have 'Non-Alcoholics Anonymous'?





It's more than a little bit queer
That I can't stop drinking ginger beer.
It's costing a lot.
A lot more than I've got.
I'm like a Famous Five member, my dear.

Sixty Eight

This is rubbish, I'll admit it. I have to go to work later though so I don't have much time to think of things...



If Saturday Kitchen weren't real,
I just cannot say how I'd feel.
How could I drink my tea?
Spill porridge on my knee?
Without something to sweeten the deal?

Sixty Seven

Apparently rhymes take a little turn downhill when it's the morning...



Its not very nice, but it's true.
On my arm is a big yellow bruise.
And by 'yellow' I mean,
'As a buttercup scene'.
It looks like an awful tattoo.

I've been seeing stupid hats EVERYWHERE today. There's only one person I blame. And he's in NDubz. I'm not sure when The 'Dappy hat' became cool though! Mind you, I never know when things are cool til they're not anymore...


I hope someone's let Dappy know
That the 'stupid hat' trend seems to grow
When he goes on TV
With a bobble you can see
From space. But why is it so?

Sixty Five

When I was watching 'The One Show' earlier (what? It makes me laugh.) There was a man on as a guest. It turns out he was in Genesis, but they managed to get through the entire show without actually saying who he was. As far as I'm aware they didn't mention his name once. He could've been anyone for all I was aware. (Also, to be honest I know nothing about Genesis anyway so he could still be anyone as far as I'm aware...)

So today I'm using a limerick to right this wrong. Or actually just to point it out in a fairly unhelpful way.





Dear Adrian. Also, Christine.
There's a man on your show I've just seen.
Could you mention his name?
Or is this all a game,
Just to play with our minds - Now, come clean.

Sixty Four

So, on the Hundred Days website yesterday they mentioned someone who'd just started the whole hundred day thing. They'd sent an email of which the first words were "First step in a long journey". There was a challenge - Only a little challenge, more like a 'challengette' - to use those words to come up with something for today.

I a) Like a challenge (It's the title of the Blog and EVERYTHING...)
b) Have slightly run out of ideas so I'll take ANYTHING anyone offers,

So I thought I'd go for it. It couldn't hurt. This is me imagining I'm someone else starting this thing. I don't think limericks are a lifelong skill.




First step in a journey that's long,
And I hope I don't put a foot wrong.
Well... I'm human. I will.
But it might be thrill -
I might learn a new skill that's lifelong.

Sixty Three

I used to sit next to one of my friends in maths (back when I still DID maths) and he was a bit obsessed with the fact that the number 63 was the best number and you could make any number come back to 63 if you just tried hard enough. We talked about it a lot. That, and whatever films we were into at the time... I feel I should make it clear that we were both slight less than cool, and also maths was boring - we didn't wholeheartedly subscribe to number-related conspiray theories. Some of his reasoning with the 63 thing was VERY suspect, which I often pointed out, but it never seemed to make much difference.

Anyway, to this day, I can't hear the number 63 and not think back to the days of the dodgy 'magic number' theories...


*sigh*





My friend used to say sixty three,
Was as magic as numbers could be.
Any number, with skill,
Comes to that - what a thrill...
It was pretty insane, you'll agree.
