Thankyou Selina

These words Selina
These crisp, crunchy credible and creative words of Gods' Sip
Oh, Selina.

A head shaped like a banana was a thing to see
and one to be recovered from in more time than you gave me Selina,
in your most mid-wiferley way, when you affirmed:

"Well, you've got to have something to get out of bed for"

Trickledown Man (Or Just Plain 'Anthony'?)

He sits, astride a table laid with plenty, million dollar suit, watch, cash and credit in wedges... One small coin falls from his overstuffed wallet into the hands of a hoard of huddled masses beneath the table..

"Clone me my lovely Liverpool Lou Gorm, my lovely liverpool lou.."

"These Iron men stand for all of us, forever worked on by time and tide. Not masters of the world but a part of it" Less of us than a head full of blood and more of us than just plain Anthony."

says Simon.

I don't know Simon. Do you? My mum says he's a tory.

The Conservative Party are Britains largest unincorporated association. The face of a liar needs a few years of rain and wind to work on his biggest fibs.

That may or may not have been how Anthony imagined the space our bodies inhabit. trickleDownman (registered trademark) inhabits the spaces we can only dream of - for us.

Thanks Trickledown Man.

Ruth Anthony is someone else.

Rob Anthony is someone else.

My cousin Anthony is my cousin Anthony.

Press Release ends unhappily.

Stop blowing your own carnyx.

and blurry eyed, squint at it and see something

wont do. We're booking train tickets and
our two hands are clapping like a cheap day return

What's A Thesaurus Daddy?

Use words: Take out a thesaurus if you like.
Imagine with a child continents and places
redolent and verdant and resonant with sounds
which will be alien but imaginable from the telly

Or books. Books would be better. use books.

"Is it a dinosaur?"

"No love, Its a book"
