Save Now
(Eight Haiku Verses, One Unfortunate Casualty)

You are the oldest
Stockbroker in the city
Living off rice cakes

Your dream was bottled
You caught the marketplace blues
She caught paperwork

The day you closed down
She struggled to buy children
Everything was lunch

Half a minute late
Steam from her broken kettle
Compels a divorce

Delegalising
Unsatisfactorily
Irretrievable

Striptease after work
Slowly turning inside out
Drive home car mishap

Hospital beauty
Your chatting up failing now
Embarrassing death

Back in the workplace
New roles new woman for new
Oldest stockbroker

Four Track Test Track


I recently acquired a four track. I plugged it in and connected headphones and a microphone today. Then I sat down and recorded a test track. I used: A guitar, a harmonica, a trumpet. and recordings of excited A Level students. All of the parts were recorded in one take and the trumpet is rather out of tune. I will do many more songs. Many of them with vocals. Perhaps even this week. Work is going well. An update on that soon.
