Trumbles are now everywhere,
What am I to do?
Some BBQ-sauce
a distant big open grill
a feast for your mouth!

Finger-licking good.
Want some more but no more left,
Sanity departs.
A trumble a day keeps the doctor away, and the tax man;
even the Grim Reaper keeps his distance.

Trumbles roasted hot,
Fresh picked tree grubs, brandy tot,
Lethal winter fare

He entered his prize
and to his surprise
His trumbles had just begun

Many trumble haters,
Yet deep dark space, alone,
trumbles are pets.

Do I hear weeping
In Winter’s grave, Basho sobs
Oh, the West is lost
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Cool. I like that a lot.

Expressing oneself
In seventeen syllables
Is very diffi

It's very diffi-
cult to express oneself in
Seventeen sylla

Difficult it is
For oneself in syllables
Only seventeen

It is difficult
In seventeen syllables
To express oneself
A trumble a day keeps the doctor away, and the tax man;
even the Grim Reaper keeps his distance.

It's 2am and I can't sleep - therefore I'll share with you one of my favourite songs (which is just poetry to music)

"Who needs sleep?" - Barenaked ladies - Stunt (1998)

Now I lay me down not to sleep
I just get tangled in the sheets
I swim in sweat three inches deep
Just lay back and claim defeat

Chapter read and lesson learned
I turned the lights off while she burned
So while she’s three hundred degrees
I throw the sheets off and I freeze

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

My hands are locked up tight in fists
My mind is racing filled with lists
Of things to do and things I’ve done
Another sleepless night’s begun

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

So much joy in life
So many pleasures all around
But the pleasure of insomnia
Is one I’ve never found
With all life has to offer
There’s so much to be enjoyed
But the pleasures of insomnia
Are ones I can’t avoid

Lids down, I count sheep
I count heartbeats
The only thing that counts is
That I won’t sleep
I countdown, I look around
(Hala hala hala)

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

Who needs sleep?
(Well you’re never gonna get it)
Who needs sleep?
(Tell me what’s that for)
Who needs sleep?
Be happy with what you’re getting
There’s a guy who’s been awake
Since the second world war

Bare naked ladies
made many a million
entertaining folks


Amidst this topic
The Sandman crept closer to
the Daddy Hoggy


Passionate souls
Wrestle their innermost thoughts
into a few words

Simplicity is
eloquence distilled from a
brain-bursting vastness
