DROPPED THE MOON MUGGED?

Dropped The Moon blog has been getting some very weird, highly-inflated viewing figures in the last day or so.

Think we're being screwed up by a gremlin.

Closing down for a while.

Might see you soon.

Might not.

WHISKER HAIKU

I feel like a cat
eighth life gone, just one life left - 
cling by a whisker

SIGNS


No parking
I park there

Keep off the grass
I walk on it

No entry
I enter there

Keep clear
I block it

No speeding
I accelerate

No smoking
I light up

Quiet please
I shout loud

No overtaking
I crash head on

No angels
I burn in hell

PIZZA DEPRESSED

There he was,
a lonely, depressed pizza base,
the last base in the place,
not chosen for eat-in or takeaway,
the last base at the end of a busy day,
unnecessary, unwanted, unloved,
his only option, he sighed and sagged,
as he lay all alone on the kitchen shelf,
was to end it all and top himself.

CRACKED

The man who was fed up with the world,
the man who was fed up with living,
the man who was fed up with people,
in a life of more taking than giving.

The man who was tired of it all,
the man who finally cracked,
the man who stood right on the edge,
deciding to step forward or back.

Is that the best you can do?
Are these the only colours you know?
Each time it appeared, he'd rant at the sky
and berate the complacency of the rainbow.
