A Futile Rant

Karma’s Perversity
Monday 14th May – There’s an old adage that ‘No good deed goes unpunished’. Yesterday afternoon it was a folklore teaching I was rudely reminded of by my ‘good’ buddy karma, in cahoots with his rancid sidekick cancer. Following undertaking five hours voluntary work for MacMillan Cancer Support, I returned home to witness the ‘reward’…
Dissing The Disease
Tomorrow morning I’ll be partaking in a voluntary collection for Marie Curie cancer care.

Airing of Sale De Lavage
Torture, but conclusion unwanted Score summers celibacy, enforced as with gaol dweller Punishment though for crimeless act Spiteful matriarch pride, her indoctrination prevails “Opine thy suitor is toxic girl, conduct regardless” Legacy of odious termagant, equally imbecilic spouse. Yeti acquiesce not now, fury at long-term misguided idiocy Score summers celibacy, reluctantly suffered for offspring’s good Alternative,…
