I've received another of those consumer survey forms (with a free pen included) in the post this morning. I haven't needed to buy any pens now for years. Every little helps. I never fill in the survey though.

However, I'm actually on a telephone consumer panel, but I get £5 per month for responding to their calls and so continue to participate.

CARESS

Last night
I washed
My hands
In your hair,
Moonlight
Lathering
Like soap.

Although I only wrote one blog entry instead of my usual two yesterday (I was visiting my parents) my blog somehow managed to appear three times on the listings. I think my mouse must have been sticking when I was clicking and so I've dismantled it and cleaned it. Anyhow it seems to be working better now; the problem is though, I'm not very good with my hand/eye co-ordination in the first place and so waste a lot of time when surfing the net and clicking on links.

PAPER TIGERS

Headlines rush
Towards tomorrow
As half a dozen boys
With the world
On their shoulders
Eagerly turn
To the back page
And chose their
Words carefully.
