Waiting impatiently for #invertober2026, idly browsing #invertober2024 and marvelling at the quality of some of the work. This is *gorgeous*.

Today’s poem is called ‘Bags’.
Bags
 
you have bags
of bags
 
collecting bags
must be your bag
 
because you have bags
with nothing in them
except bags,
inside of which are other bags,
full of bags
 
you have enough bags for life
for a hundred lifetimes –
if there was a prize for the total number of tote bags
you would totes have it
in the bag
 
don’t know why you need so many bags
when all you ever put in them
are other bags

Since sharing this, many men have commented it’s a shame I don’t understand how wealth works; I’m just too thick to get it. Having spent decades in boardrooms, I have a pretty good idea. What’s more interesting is the instinct to go after the woman posting about it, rather than the c*nt it’s about.

Are you having fanatical thoughts about other people's crotches?
Has hating a minority group become your entire personality?
Do you obsess over other people's toilet use?
If so, you could be a danger to others - it's time to seek help.

Just got home to a roasting flat, the only ice in the freezer were a couple of massive 2 inch spheres, so I cheerfully dropped one into my pint of Ribena and splashed Ribena everywhere. Had to rinse my white top under the sink and have sat here in a wet blouse for an hour. But am a LOT cooler.

A poem for World Bee Day.
The Last Bee 
 
After the last  ee 
had  uzzed its last  uzz, 
the  irds and the  utterflies 
did what they could. 
 
 ut soon the fields lay  are, 
few flowers were left, 
nature was  roken, 
and the planet  ereft.

A not so talked about historical fact is Knut Hamsen novelist gave his peace medal away. Not familiar with the name? Perhaps the name of the man he he gave it to is better known… Dr Joseph Goebbels, in 1934… That certainly didn’t end well!!! History does repeat itself now and again.
