At last, I am able to return to my website. Only to find that the grass is overgrown and the weeds have taken over. There is much to be done.
My poor old blog desperately needs a good spring clean. There are typos and grammatical errors to attend to and I have a whole heap of posts sitting in my ‘draft’ tray, waiting to be spruced up and despatched.
Why the long absence and dereliction of duty? Well, it’s all down to James Parkinson and his army of body snatchers (BS) who marched in suddenly, quite without warning and started running things their own way. Since I was caught completely unawares, my defences were down and the BS were able. for a limited period, to hold sway. In order to establish their superiority, they called in imps from the pit to add to my torments.
However, one of the things of which the BS had taken no account, was that I was trained to a very high standard in the art of death-defying escapes from Parkinson’s. I also had a whole regiment drawn from the pharmaceutical sector who were supplying me with hundreds and thousands of their very finest drugs:
Medicatioin
Medication, medication,
Instant buzz and cool sensation.
And if you will just look this way,
You’ll see the menu for today:
If there’s no ‘R’ in the month, you take ‘Abbalin’,
Next, if you’re tongue tied, you’ll be prescribed ‘Babbelin’,
Irksomely, ‘Cabbalin’ counteracts ‘Dabbalin’,
So if you need both, you’ll do better with ‘Gabalin’,
And then there’s the truth drug that’s labelled as ‘Jabberlin’,
For people addicted to board games there’s ‘Scrabbelin’.
All kinds of tablets of various hues,
Greens, reds and yellows and beautiful blues.
Dual coloured capsules – magenta and teal
Or pillar box red, paired with cool eau-de-nil.
There’s pills you pop out of small blister packs,
And bottles of tablets (I’ve got them in stacks).
Their screw tops are childproof, at least, that’s the plan,
Whilst I can’t get them open, my small grandson can.
With this vast cornucopia of drugs as my backing,
I’ve kicked out the invaders and sent them all packing.
So, it’s back to my blog!
