I've just re-discovered my mum's old copy of Watchwords by Roger McGough with this amazing 60s/70s psychedelic cover that i could stare at for a very long time... (this is not the cover, scanner broken dammit)
Discretion
by Roger McGough
Discretion is the better part of Valerie
though all of her is nice
lips as warm as strawberries
eyes as cold as ice
the very best of everything
only will suffice
not for her potatoes
or puddings made of rice
Not for her potatoes
or puddings made of rice
she takes carbohydrates
like God takes advice
a surfeit of ambition
is her particular vice
Valerie fondles lovers
like a mousetrap fondles mice
And though in the morning
she may whisper: 'it was nice'
you can tell my her demeanor
that she keeps her love on ice
but you've lost your hardened heart
now you'll have to pay the price
for she'll kiss you on the memory
and vanish in a thrice
Valerie is corruptible
but known to be discreet
Valerie rides a silver cloud
where once she walked the street
Even though I've also just started reading the biography of Paul Dirac (that's him above)
He's my favorite physicist as he wrote the equation for anti matter, the books pretty good, highly recommended even if your not into physics and all that...
Also, I'm thinking of getting my septum piercing re-done (it closed over over summer)
Images to back this idea up as a good one:
Finally...
What bands are good at the moment?
Listening too...
Violent Femmes
The Virgins
Good Shoes
& trying to find an Eef Barzelay album
Oh & one more thing, started my exams today with maths
Good luck to everyone else who has exams too!
Now i'm going to sit in my nice warm room with my mental cat, drink mulled cider and read all the new magazines i just bought myself to say well done for completing one exam. i need some time alone, everything is falling apart... anywho...
L.O.V.E
