In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

The Fear – 100 words

January 13, 2023 By Ellen

The Fear

Hello, my dear,

Don’t get up.

I’m coming to sit with you,

here for a while

on this comfortable sofa

where it’s safe.

Oh no, you don’t want to be going out

there in the world

where it’s difficult

and people will judge you.

You know they will.

Just stay a while with me

here where it’s easy

and maybe we’ll

open another packet of Hobnobs.

Oh, no. They’ll never miss you,

those people out there,

where all sorts of terrible things are happening

and everywhere is risk.

Help me to hide

with a box set

until we’re totally lost…
