An Evening Out With The Boys
I love the...
Do you think, the dress flatters my figure?
Oh sweetheart I love the dress, it narrows the shoulders so well.
What breasts should I wear?
Ooh, well I think we go for soccer ball size; it will take attention off the feet. But, flesh coloured stilettos way too Paris darling.

Waiting
Mary smoothed down her dress, looked at the door and sat at the table: 'Could either of you pass the lasagne please; I need to save some for Dad.'
Not even taking his eyes away from the pinging phone, the teenage boy reached over and passed the glass dish over.
Slamming her knife down, Liz, in a bathrobe with hair still wet said, 'Mother, stop playing this game.'
She was ignored and a smile of sorts was sent over to the boy with a,'Thank-you, Tom.'
Calmly, the girl spoke again, 'Mother, I am speaking to you.'
Sighing, and reluctantly putting his phone down Tom looked over to Liz, 'Sis, stop the be true to your feelings crap and let Mom alone. You’re ruining dinner.'
Mary, hand trembling just looked at both their faces and silently began to eat not listening as tears fall.

If its too good to be true...
‘You set up some save the earth shit blog and play the compassionate-love-all-nature guru. Get the marks blissed then drop the stomach cancer bomb and as they deep-mouth drop hints about medical bills. Once cashed you post the skull-and-crossbones note and close the site. You’ll milk money I tell you.’

‘You are not seeing The Getaway and that’s final.’
’Ah, Mum it’s not fair, all my friends can.’
’Bed. Now!’

How to lose a job
‘You know what the bloody hell you are!’
‘I own a company that’s run by value-based management, built from 360-degree feedback. On my watch, we have the ambition to deliver world-class financial performance and be acknowledged as a value exemplar.’
‘Bollocks, that just means you are an old-fashioned asset stripper

The bread of life soon toasts you
Once I baked bread, as a hippy happy boy-man with Red flag dreams. Then bread was farm milled flour, mountain water, free range yeast and oak board pounding. For factory bread was capitalist mass trickery. The fall came with Polish Jewish Double Rye and baguettes with dusted flour. Now I buy bread, a hippy happy man-boy with Red flag dreams.
