Over the many years I have
been writing my blog I have told you of the many things I have done, as well as
write the odd fable, fairytale and poem. But tonight I plan to do something
entirely new. You see tonight I will not be writing about what I did but will
write about what I did not do today; amazingly there are a lot of things I did
not do today far more that I realized, so this is just a small list merely
scratching the surface so to speak
I did not actually scratch
the surface (despite the old saying which implied I did)
I have not watched a small
snail travel across a large stone
I did not sneak up on the
international space station and shout BOO at the astronauts
I never waved a pointy
stick at a group of little old ladies who were chasing swans
I never ate a large snake
I did not run about
shouting QUACK
And I never stood on my
head on the ridge tiles of a very tall building
I did not wear a very very
bright pink leopard print cowboy hat (AH DAMN actually I did do that today
sorry)
I did not draw any
pictures
I never spoke to a strange
Zombie like creature who juggled mice and laughed in a hysterical manner
I never climbed a large
mountain in a wet suit and slippers
I did not mutter under my
breath at a load of cyclists on the road (AH DAMN sorry I did that today)
I was not caught leaping
over the moon in a superman outfit
I never bought a superman
outfit
I did nothing what so ever
that had any link to anyone remotely resembling superman
I did not pretend to be a
chicken and try to rob a bank
I never fixed a broken pen
(OK I tried but it was futile)
I never did anything futile (AH DAMN AGAIN)
I did not see a submarine
or a seagull
I did not sing old sea
shanties at passers by
I did not deliberately
avoid the cracks in the pavement (well not today)
And I did not sell any
snow to penguins who might have been hanging about
I did not hang about
I did not write anything
that might be considered remotely sensible by either that very nice Steven
Spielberg or Mrs J K Rowling who its starting to think I'm mad
Neither Steven Spielberg
or J K Rowling phoned me up to say . . . Nice
Blog Rob, sorry about the injunction but you know what its like. . . .
I was not bitten by a
vampire bat or a Zombie
I never ate the tortoise.
. . .Honest
I did not get wet
Anyway this as I have
previously said is a very short abbreviated list of what I have not done today
and I may tell you again at some time about what I have not done or I may not.
I notice that there are a few things absent from this list.
ReplyDeleteNotable by their absence are:
You did not kill a fly.
you did not throw a TV out of a hotel window like a rock star.
You did not flick an aliens ear and tell it to clear off!
you did eat you height in ready salted chipsticks.
you did not roar like a lion to scare the birds.
Due to the fact that you did not say that you did not do these things I can only assume that you did, in fact, do these things.
Have you gone quite mad sir?
What sort of perosn throws a TV out of a hotel window (apart from rock stars)
and why did you not offer to share those ready salted chip sticks? You know they are my favourite and I can't find them anywhere.
For shame Rob! For shame! hahahahahaha.
DAMN Mr H I was hoping I had mentioned enough things that I had not done, to avoid speculation about those thing I did do.
DeleteI refuse to confirm anything but will make two small points
1 . . . Televisions do not have the same impact as they did in the old days when they contained a large vacuum filled CRT that would explode in a huge bang. Modern flat panel televisions thrown from a window tend to glide much like a model glider and then hit the vicar who is stopping at the hotel to go to a conference (was going).
2 . . . I do not want to see another salted chipstick . . . . . . .PHEW
These points clearly mean I could not have done what you say. . .
Things I didn't do today, I did not cry over spilt milk. I did not lead a horse to water and make it drink. I did not offer anyone a penny for their thoughts, as they had none...thoughts that is, not pennies. I didn't kill two birds with one stone, I used a bazooka. I did not let sleeping dogs lie, I made them stand in the naughty corner and I did not use idioms to make a comment...oh damn!
ReplyDeleteMiss Lily I was worried you were planning to ask me about the very very bright pink leopard print cowboy hat. . . .PHEW you did not . . . . anyway I did not buy it I merely wore it for a short time.
