Escape Stupidity

Escape Stupidity: a bit like escape velocity, it's the minimum point of idiocy reached to need to leave the planet... Image author's own: collage made from images at canva.com

18 Just Use the Thing

By Ewan on Wed, 19 Jun 2024

This the last, for a while anyway. I've got to do some tidying up of Mr Martinez before I publish it on 1st August. In the meantime, see if you can guess what happens to our hero in this story, let me know, because your guess is as good as mine. Image created at canva.com

17 What Would Interest Big Brother in Merthyr Tydfil?

By Ewan on Wed, 19 Jun 2024

Well, what? I ask you. I've reached 10,000 words on this. That milestone usually means I'll get a book out of a project. However, it also means I probably won't post the other 40 to 50,000 on here. I might do an excerpt or two between now and whenever I do finish it. Keep an eye out for it on the 'Zon, sometime after Mr Martinez appears.

16 Two Jokes for the Price of One

By Ewan on Tue, 18 Jun 2024

Some military nicknames aren't very kind. Some are bestowed with sympathy, whilst still being less than polite. Anyway, that's not important. "You want some more-a?" It's your own fault then. Image PD elements. Canva.com

Lines

By Ewan on Tue, 18 Jun 2024

Six lines are not a verse - or indeed - averse. Odd, it's fine if you pass it by. In red are your options for punctuating the last couplet, which will change the meaning of the lines, if you think about it. Image made at canva.com

  - and I really do, for I consider Blood on the Tracks one of the best albums ever made - I doubt he ever wrote anything as unambiguous as this poem. I only wrote it* because I wanted to record it.

Thanks for reading and commenting....
