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.

l'Oignon

I do not understand quite how
The first human pulling the plough
And turning over an onion root 
Decided it was a tasty fruit
On biting first the papery skin
And remarking that wasn't where to begin
They proceeded then to slice the sphere
And started crying from ear to ear
As their salty tears fell down
They wondered what they'd dragged from the ground
This hellish food that caused such pain
That made their eyelids fill with rain
And so to get revenge on it
They lit a fire and grabbed a spit 
Roasted it to an inch of its life
Attacked it with a handy knife
Scooped it up and took a bite
And thought... Actually, it's alright!
