"He’d been married three times which meant that there were three poor women in the town who, at some point, had agreed to sleep with him."

Sorry Di I honestly did not mean

enough

Posted on Tue, 27 Aug 2024

I read these in poems of William Blake, in the proverbs of hell.

Good luck! Tom

Posted on Tue, 25 Jun 2024

The elephant and ant were walking together over the bridge, the ant said "We make this bridge shake hey?!"

Keep well, greetings from Africa!...

Keep well Paul! Tom
