WhatWhyHow???

This year, I set myself the foolish task of trying to write something every day, and what you see here is the result. None of this is finished, polished, or in any way good. It's usually a few lines at the end of the day when I'm tired, my head's broken, and this nonsense spills out of it onto the page. Feel free to comment away, and if you think anything has any potential then let me know and I might have a go at working on it further.

But hang on, where's the first month? You've ripped us off! I hear you say... Well, yes. I have been writing since the beginning of January, but it's taken me a while to get the blog up, so everything here is a month old.

Brick King Cnut

Brick-by-brick the oceans fall
To King Cnut and his Lego wall
He builds it high to stem the tide
Five metres high, ten metres wide
Millions of bricks stacked piece by piece
Covering every kink and crease
Of the coast around his bay
In defiance of what the wise men say
But Cnut did not think it through -
Always test before you do -
When finished it was quite a sight
But Lego is not water tight
The tide seeped straight through the cracks
Between the glistening Lego stacks
And Cnut who was sitting just behind
Did not get quite what he'd designed
Instead of having nice dry toes
He got wetter as the waters rose
And soon the bay became choked thick
With millions of floating Lego bricks.
