Gerald Kaufman - d. February 26th 2017

I could not concur
with every syllable,
each ardent principle,
yet still, here is myrrh
for leaderless causes,
for fatherless houses.

Bill Paxton - d. February 25th 2017

So you found a way
to get out of 
this chickenshit outfit.
But how to say this?
You're dogmeat, pal,
game over.

Peter Skellern - d. 17th February 2017

The world is full
of romantic fools,
but anyone who falls
for a song must know
at the end of the show
onto the empty streets
we go.

Tara Palmer-Tomkinson - d. February 8th 2017


In certain places‬
‪no-one normal goes 
-‬ Klosters, The Ivy‬ 
I hear your name‬
‪still works the room‬
...such a shame...
...life and soul...

Alan Simpson - d. February 8th 2017

Stone me,
what a life!
All we did
was sneak inside
a totters yard
or bedsit 
at the wrong end
of a cul-de-sac
to seek the souls
of desperate men.
