Teeth Tales - Woohoo Thirty Two
I agree with ScoZen and Luigi we need some more entries for this challenge. So in the interest of quantity over quality here's my second one. Inspired by Blur's Song 2. (And yes, hampsteads really is cockney rhyming slang for teeth).

Lost in Translation
Not long after my mother was widowed (not my father, this was two husbands in), I persuaded her to come on a short holiday with me. We decided on...

Patricia
Written in response to the IP 'The thing you kept that you shouldn't'. Except in this case it's the thing he kept that I wish he hadn't.

Close Encounters
Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2026
I still think aliens abducted him. But we haven't got time for all that space malarky.

Posted on Sat, 28 Mar 2026
Well personally I'm very fond of films and books which don't tie it all up in a neat bow at the end. Leaving the readers to make their own deductions - they'd have to be better at it than Tubby Milton can manage.
I loved this...

Posted on Wed, 25 Feb 2026
Like Turlough, you have the gift of bringing the mundane to life and making it fascinating, Harry. And funny. And sad. And, in this case, just a bit spooky too. Good writers can make great stories out of apparently very little material, and...

Hi Jane
This is very intriguing ! Looking forward to what is going to happen to them next.
I think there are a few places where it says 'sight' when it should say 'site' ? As in 'go around the edge of the sight only'. I think...

Posted on Sat, 21 Feb 2026
Jay, you remind us of the days, before food processors and bread making machines, that we touched the food we were making, and put physical effort into it. I love to grow my own vegetables, even though they are so cheap in the supermarket, but...

Like Harry I really look forward to your Bulgarian blog too. Am a little worried about Ludo not getting a mention. I know he must be on about number twelve of his nine lives, so I hope he's ok.

Posted on Sun, 01 Feb 2026
All sorts of things slip down the cracks in time and/or space. But I never thought about silence itself doing that, until I read your poem.
Personally I like the staccato delivery, I felt it was a good example of form echoing content. ...

Hypocrisy
Posted on Sun, 18 Jan 2026
Well said, Turlough.
I've read a lot about these cases (although I hadn't heard of Ann) and sometimes the man responsible for the pregnancy was the father or brother. Which adds another layer of hypocrisy to the indignant shame heaped by...
