Thought for a very wet day.

Had we but world enough and time
The house would not be full of grime,
The lawns would all be neatly mown,
The shrubs would not be overgrown.

But at my back I always hear
Time's winged chariot hurrying near -

Oh bugger it! let's have a beer.

Power charges

We are with Genesis and I'm happy with them.

But if there are any more Revelations of price increases and other such Acts, there will be an Exodus of Numbers of customers, and Lamentations on your part. And a good Job too, Mark my words!

Perhaps I should write that on my next power bill.

Don't let's be beastly to the Germans

Somebody asked me to write a parody of that famous wartime song by Noel Coward, about not being beastly to the Germans. They wanted one about New Zealand's criminals and their soft treatment. So here it is.


Don't let's be beastly to the jailbirds,
Don't let's be beastly to the crims,
For those silly little buggers
That become the crooks and muggers
Are only the result of parents' sins,
Let's be nice to them
And give advice to them,
And let them out of jail upon parole,
If they rob our homes and loot us
Or get their guns and shoot us
Don't be beastly chaps, just pay them all the dole.

Not me, but I won't be there. They might get some "entertainment" they
didn't expect!

All together now -

Give your donations to me,
I'll hide them all so carefully."
