The Tram Sandwich

Image
The Tram Sandwich I don’t often travel on a tram in Melbourne but on this day I was headed to St Kilda and decided to catch the 89. As it clattered its way toward my stop, I was feeling almost dizzy, overwhelmed by the exotic sights and sounds of Melbourne, the multicultural colours and sounds of the people in their array of international attire surrounding me at every turn. I climbed on board and quickly decided upon a seat near the front. Sitting down pensively I exchanged glances with the young couple sitting opposite. They seemed to be looking into me, wondering. I gave them a tiny smile before glancing down at my travelling companion, sitting on the seat beside me. ‘I wonder where he is going’ I stated out loud to the couple, tilting my head toward the companion on my right. They both burst into a rage of laughter, because, sitting squarely and neatly beside me on the seat was a perfectly wrapped sandwich, cut into quarters. ‘Do you think we should share it?’ I asked and ...

Nude Twister, Lies and Ghosts.

Yesterday I had the good fortune to undertake my annual OPD ( On-going Professional Development) at The Gordon Institute in Geelong. This is a requirement for maintaining a licence to work as an Authorised Celebrant.

What I Remember of 2017 ( Whenever that was )

Where did 2000 and seventeen go? What really happened I would like to know. Xmas went , the New Year began, Cant remember if it was with a bang. I think summer was hot, or did it pass by, Was it real long, or was it just dry? Should keep a diary but what is the point, The reading will probably only disappoint. Did Trump really say his button is bigger? Waiting by day with his finger on the trigger. I remember turning on the morning news, Each day wondering if he had blown a fuse. Wondering if the North was bombing the south Cos of Trump and his impertinent mouth And wondering how much, the rich did for the poor, In this unbalanced world , the rich always need more I wonder if Religion will ever come to see why, It is religion that forms barriers that cause people to die. Why is that rhetoric forms a God-ranting shield Believe in me or I'll force you to yield. And Brexit is causing such an outrageous flack Getting out of the Union with no turning back, And...
