i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.

TECH HELL Forty-seven (47) pages read, and studied, for that new telephone of mine and I still can't programme it. Can't even get the date, day, time in. All those miniscule, squiggly icons informing me of nothing. They should have included a dictionary of what they symbolize. I'm not a piccy person. I looked them up in my Funk & Wagnalls and my Le Petit Larousse. Nope. Notihing there either. I am not kidding. 47 pages! Squigglies. I press "CID" - on the "soft touch" pad. Up pops: "Requires subscription to Caller ID" . Say what? It's the one service I have always had on my phones. I press "MENU" - Caller list; I keep pressing "MENU"...; Hopeless. I'll wait until some savvy person phones me at Christmas. hahahaha...just had a quick look at the back cover: MADE IN CHINA No SURPRISE - which I why I didn't bother looking at it to begin with. The whole damned manual was written in Mandarin.
