Another poem by Zach

You are colour
I am a drawing
I will befriend you
I am sweet
never sour
If you were bitter
I'd never flower

what a tangled web men weave...

S: I can't understand you J, was I just someone to have sex with for you? I really liked you and I thought you liked me too
J: You were married and you lied to me - you got that the wrong way round I was just someone for you to have sex with on the side
S: I wasn't married. She was my ex and she couldn't understand why I wanted to be with you when she's only 26 and you're a lot older than her. I liked you more than anyone J and she just wanted to mess with my relationship with you
J: So how did she know how old I was just from finding my number on your phone? Maybe we should all get together and ask her and sort this out!
S: I told her I'd be introducing my boy to you so I told her everything about you
J: This all happened 2 years ago - why are you contacting me now?
S: Because I still miss you...
thinks J: Liar, liar, pants on fire!

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me...

She and Him

'I know and you know it too that love like ours is terrible news...'

The Scene: Supermarket checkout
Young boy at till serving a little old lady who is chatting away endlessly whilst he is very politely responding to her. After about 10 minutes of this she finally leaves and I get to the checkout
J: if there was an award for patience you'd definitely get it, still she was very sweet
Boy: well you'd think so wouldn't you but last week she threatened to stab someone in the cafe with a pair of scissors because they were talking on a mobile phone and it annoyed her apparently.
J: oh my god you're kidding
Boy: no not at all, I was surprised to see her here again, I thought she'd been banned!

Zach's 'The boy who cried "wolf"' story

A boy was out playing by himself when a wolf came along. The boy cried "wolf", the wolf ate the boy. The end.

Zach asked me to write a poem about him so here it is...

You filled an empty space
I didn't know I had
You made me happy when
I didn't know I was sad
You changed my life in oh...
so many different ways
You poured love into my heart
and brightened all my days

Happy Birthday to Mark J

ok...?

N: Hi how are you?
J: I'm ok - bit down in dumps but ok
N: oh not good is all ok?
J: yeah everything's 'ok' it's just not 'great' ...I don't want to be happy I want to be ecstatic!
N: at the mo I'm being philosophical and'ok' is just fine sadly - but I do know what you mean
J: I just want to be madly in love with someone who's madly in love with me - is that really too much to ask?
N: you're asking the wrong person really - but keep your chin up girl!
J: ok I will - have just come back from yoga so I can pretty much contort myself into any position! Slight exageration but I was pleased to discover that I'm getting better at it
N: I want to go yoga that's on my list - sounds fab, all those positions hey , good for the soul?
J: oh it doesn't do you any good on a list you actually have to go... I had it on my list for ages but I didn't improve at all until I actually went...
