Social media. What did I do to make you believe I want to know about politics. I can't block enough words to make you usable, and not just depressing bullshit. Give me jokes, comics, film recommendations, new bands and new art and that's it.

Sad Heads*. A poem. *I'm not sure if sad heads is a phrase, but I gave up thinking of something else and used it as the title to make it seem like it is. #poem #poetry
White text on a black background.
My poem called Sad Heads. 
It goes like this:

Dear internet
I'm writing yet
I keep getting 
distracted,
and all I see
on all my feeds
are people being
sad heads.

Write a joke
internet folk
at least make this
less pointless.
If I must faff,
make me laugh
or a smile will
do I guess.

All I want is
for all of this
not-writing to
be valid.
Dear internet
I'm writing yet
I keep getting
distracted.

Mayday mayday! I'm stuck in a hole! Behind the dresser on the feature wall. The hole leads to a small bus depot that dust bunnies use to get where they go. But they won't say where they're headed so I'm stuck here alone until I'm deaded.

"...it’s really very good. I don’t mean that you personally like it, I don’t care. You’re allowed for it not to be for you. That’s why comedy as an art form is great." Everyone needs to be reminded of this 👆

My favourite bit: "... it’s really very good. I don’t mean that you personally like it, I don’t care. You’re allowed for it not to be for you. That’s why comedy as an art form is great." And the bit reminding people that niche references like the pork advert have been a part of UK comedy forever.

Salt
A poem titled Salt.

Can you pass the salt?
Or does it draw you in?
Does the call of the granules
in the cellar 
fill your head
with a din.

A cacophony of salt noise,
a huge sodium racket.
Does the lure of the white stuff
pull you close make
you pick up
the packet.

Can you pass the salt?
Drown out its salty song?
If you can, then you're stronger
than I am, friend,
because me? Well,
I'm too far
salty gone.

How did you feel when you discovered the sun was a star? I was like, "Oh, no, now all the people who discovered it will be all, 'Well, I knew it before it was famous' and point at anyone who wears t-shirt with a sun on and shout 'NAME 3 OF ITS SONGS!'"

You hear a sound. So you walk into the other room, and see, clinging to the lampshade, Martin Landau in a Roman garb. He's accidentally time travelled from the set of Cleopatra and needs to get back. But first he must let go of the lampshade. And he's too scared to do so. Dammit he's just too scared

This is what social media is for. Popping in for 5 seconds, seeing a video of Crime Traveller, thinking "I used to love that." then getting away from social media before the rot sets in. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Weird eye related lyrics that annoy me: 1. "Look me in the eyeball" - Love The Way You Lie: Eminem ft. Rihanna. Dude, you're a lyrical genius, but nobody has ever said look me in the eyeball. 2. "I wanna kiss your eyes" - Shivers: Ed Sheeran. Do people do this? I feel weird just thinking about it.

Sanctuary is top tier Di'Anno. You are a fool. It was added to the '98 remasters, don't know why it's not on streaming. I'm only writing this because I'm procrastinating from work. I don't really care. But this has reminded me to actually listen to the podcast. I'd forgotten it existed.

Give Chris money to make a book. The first one was great. And if it's anything like the first one there'll be about 90% more jokes than your average kids book.
