My stories
Last Week's Oranges
In our local book club last week, we had a quiz, to kick things off. The book club theme was Oranges, so the quiz had 9 purported titles. You had to mark the ones you thought were real books, who wrote them, if you marked them as books. Others were films, LP- I mean albums, or other cultural things. One was a red herring. (Should have been orange, eh?) Last Week's Oranges. Now, that answer is a real one. [Image source Wikipedia Commons placed in the public domain by Downtowngal ]

Written like an 8-and-a-half-year-old Joyce - that's James Joyce, not Joyce Grenfell... Although... No seriously, folks, this captures the breathless jumble of thoughts, half-understood things, fears and hopes of almost any kid of that age....

on the other side of dementia's curtain can be good company. My dad just shrank away to nothing at all, really. After my dad died, it hit my mum with full force - couldn't tell the time, didn't know what day it was, hiding things. None of which...

Jack.
I do have one quibble. Ugly Puggly's last two bits of dialogue are a bit didactic. Whilst the sentiment behind the words is true, it comes over as a little authorial, even though the words come out of UP's mouth. This:
"we can'...

A splendid depiction of ourselves as a parasitic blight on Gaia itself. Skilfully done and with possibly the first use of 'Agrestal' I've ever seen in a poem.

is that our armed forces are not up to contributing to a coalition force at the same level as that which went to Iraq. Or indeed to Afghanistan. This is fine. Limiting defence spending to sufficient to defend the realm is sensible. Just don't...
