I have to-do lists in my notebook instead of poems:
- Make an 80th birthday cake for my Nan's birthday on Saturday
- Clean flats for visiting family members
- Organise a buffet
- Buy Christmas presents
- Buy, write & send Christmas cards
- Put up Christmas tree (ideally before Christmas Day)
- Write something for poetry event on Friday
- Get my car radio decoded
My car radio was meant to be ready for me to collect yesterday lunchtime, but apparently it is "proving difficult to decode". So, I now have a gaping hole instead of a radio and still no music. And if this doesn't seem like a big enough nightmare, I have a section of our basement flat covered in towels because of all the rain. I can safely say, if the rain continues, I'll be living in a swimming pool...
I will stop listing, moaning and depressing readers of this blog, and move onto my actual post.
An Amazon Dragon
Knights like to fight giant lizards and dragons

The above is a 'found poem' that I found on Amazon (click here)
Thank you for reading,

Hi Lara, I completely sympathise. Final week of work here and down to the parents' on Friday, still with xmas shopping to do and a blog to write tonight (only idea so far seems to be another poem) anyways I really like that 'found poem' btw it's almost an anti health and safety call to arms! :)
Give them the opportunity :) I don't have a giant lizard to whip out, sorry - I'll ask Dave...
Of all the pressures this week, the biggest one is obviously the lack of a radio! It's enough to bring a girl to tears, jumping into the car - rushing around in a frenzy - and reaching for the knob only to find it absent. God, there's a metaphor in there somewhere! Sorry, my mind isn't always in the gutter. No, really.
Good luck with all your jobs! xxx
I'm sure it will all come together for you x Hope the flooding gets sorted sharpish, sounds horrible.
I have never come across 'found' poetry before, what a lovely concept, I'm going to bee on the lookout now for it everywhere.
Why do you need a radio in your car? Doesn't everyone listen to audio books on their BlackBerry whilst they're driving? Or is it just me?

I listen to my ipod, but it connects to my radio. I don't have a BlackBerry :(
However, my radio has been fixed and the leak seems to have been sorted (touch wood) as well. Yesterday, turned out to be a good day. I might have to moan on my Tuesday blog more often.
