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.

Sports Day

Sports day leaps into our lives
Trainers on, shirts out.
A time for legs to earn their keep
Jumping jacks, jump-in sacks,
Drop the egg from the spoon too soon.
Who can throw a welly boot
Further than that big kid in Year 6?
The whistle blows and off they go.
All ages, a few rages
Heading for the tape
As the teachers stand and laugh into their hands.
The winner is Mary Marley's mum,
All elbows and exercise videos.
First by a nose, and what a nose!
She flashes her gums in victory
As her child shrinks and slinks away.
