#655 Steve Whitby Memories

Like my Uncle Bill I will just give that laugh… heh-heh-heh!

Steve Whitby



Memories come flooding back to me, silly situations, crimes

Like a tap turned on full at times!

They pool …flood into my mind

So vivid are some dreams

Mixed up people, countries, streaming lies and rhymes….

Movie scenes - some funny

Some sad, traumatic, extreme

Since this old battered heart of mine of 63

Has been cured, and is now more upbeat you see…

It’s sending lots of locked-away memories of situations -moments that left me numb, angry, traumatised, alarmed some

Not pleasant …they come rushing in…

Combined with a bad night with the apnea of minimal sleep

Turns me into a crazy bear in a dark forest deep

Thoughts go the next day haywire

To dizzy heights I aspire…

Dozing off…Narcolepsy?

Like a Coke rather than a Pepsi! (Hyper!)

So if I appear to be Mr Jekyll one day you are fine… OK?

However the next day Mr Hyde may decide…

To put in an appearance unwelcome exhaustion, intolerant remarks, small issues give off many sparks!

Caught in the crossfire

The people around me I barks

out bile and spew!

This I work on to overcome-

Watch less of the News at One

Do more reading, meeting prep

Not watching someone’s twisted opinions and views…

Music helps bring back many memories…

Some happy - some not so

In the end I manage…

Quite well

Not quite yet down-and-out

Quieter now

No need to always be vocal…and shout!

About stuff I can’t change…

Like my Uncle Bill I will just give that laugh… heh-heh-heh!

At the irony and satire of it all!

“A bloody joke”.. he used to say

(in an Aussie/ SA accent)

“What the hells gonna happen today?”…lol! !!

A messed up world and we do Fortunately know why

Live well hey?!!

Live and let die!

Precis
