Knife in the head
Twist the blade, turn the handle
You’re certified braindead
Playing with your brain
Razor blade instead
Slice and splice, soft cool edge

Lobotomy, lobotomy, lobotomy

13th June 2023 – I couldn’t fathom the use of lobotomy to help people with mental health issues. Thankfully it doesn’t appear to be in use anymore.

Jolly Roger
Pork pie bodger
The whole caboodle
And fried poodle
Sweet sweet daisy
Crazy crazy crazy
Life on the rig
And an Irish jig
CB Freak at the end of the day
CB Freak, CB Freak, what’s that you say?

13th June 2023 – Jasper was really into CB when I first met him and it was a bit of a news item at the time though I never really found it that interesting. Talking to strangers you couldn’t see seemed a bit weird. Now look at what we have! We barely talk to friends and mostly talk at strangers!
