Ode To Depression
This morning, my depression turned to contemplation,
First, a few moments of deep retrospection,
What ifs, maybes and with some reprehension…
With mixed feelings, I recalled Thatcherisation,
A spirit that shocked and scared the whole nation,
Can’t keep his pants on John Major, constipation!
Tony Blair, liar, self-advancer and chancer… revulsion!
Gordon Brown, debt maker, indeed, no statistician,
Runaway Etonian, smug, arrogant but shit… Cameron,
Theresa May, Grenfell Fire, Tory Council, on the next day,
Lessons from the fire would be learned, she did say…
Visited the aftermath and was chased away!
Kensington & Chelsea London Borough Council, well they…
… are responsible, but Tories: So, no prosecutions to this day!
Guilt, self-blame, and self-recrimination led to self-expostulation,
Whatever came to mind led me to self-recrimination…
Black depression, I’d lost control and rationalisation…
I needed a bit of luck… to regain my motivation…
Eventually, I settled for acceptance of insanity and self-irrision!
It seems my life will never get any moments that are ambrosian,
Then again, there’s is there ever any justification…
But no! I shall fight this darkness by being conciliatory,
Apart from the ailment, deafness, and cataract, I can see…
Most of the other problems are down to my past stupidity!
The guilt should be expected and accepted, you see…
Bad choices, and decisions, are coming back to haunt me!
So how do I fight them off to get my mind guilt-free?
I just have to sulk and take the blame compliantly!
I found when reading this that it flows with duplexity…
My rambling thoughts get entangled, incipiently…
Reviewing failures is a wise thing, necessitously…
I’ve so many ailments and faults characteristically,
And a stomach that bulges grows, excrescently!
I struggle through each day rather incompetently,
Thought storms and depressions are just an inevitability!
This does not stop me from wanting happiness, such a pity!
Inchcock is now out of his Dracula Depression,
The main reason was his guilt; he now shows contrition…
The reasons for this, there’s a combination…
Well, several really, starting with his visit to the fridge,
He found some mushroom pate, just a smidge…
Not a common pate; this one had caramelisation!
With chips in his freezer, this eased his deprivation!
Chips, pate, tomatoes for his palettes delectation…
He loves his comfort food, and that’s no exaggeration,
He now accepts his loneliness and being Godforsaken…
First, though, this blog to do; he also loves his scriptitations!
Diary
Due to my taking so long to do the ode, a shortened version. Sorry!
After falling asleep early last night, I sprang awake at 01:30hrs. Wee-wee, wash, wee-wee.
Got the computer on. I loaded pictures from yesterday.
Latest local Covid figures.
Facebooked on TFZ and Winwood Heights pages. Did some WordPress Reading, then Comments reading and answered. Computing again, I Finished and posted the blog.
Made a start on the ode for this blog. The ideas were coming so fast I could hardly type them fast enough… thus it took me hours and hours to get it finished, and a multitude of errors had to be corrected.
RVM, the Red-Van-Man van, had parked even further into the yellow chevron No Parking Zone. Still, it is not too important an issue with all the murders, prison escapes, stabbings, and children being mauled and killed by dogs.
I pressed on with the blog, but tiredness overcame me. It does that occasionally, I’ve noticed!
I called my Precious Jillie (Ex Carer) to see if she’ll be in tomorrow, and I can drop off the flowers for her. (Assuming that J Sainsbury’s delivers them and not a block of lard as one of their famous substitutes!) Luckily she agreed. So on the way down to get some cash from the hole in the wall.
I turned off the computer, planning to get my meal, head down, and wake alter to complete the blog-finishing mission.
Stripped and washed, I got down in the £300 second-hand, c1968, charity shop-bought, eyesorely-horrendously grungy coloured, haemorrhoid-testing, easily-falloutable, unfit-for-use, not working recliner, underneath a blanket. Determined to get to sleep…
It is now just gone midnight. And I’ll post this off and try again to get some sleep, Sweet Morpheus permitting, of course.
The forgotten meal looked great, and the waffle taters look good to. Nice Richard gave you a short natter and that you can get out to see Jillie. What a sweetheart Valerie is.
Cheers, Tim. I’m really hoping nothing comes up to ruin my planned hobble down the hill. Getting things reasy needs concentration, just about to make a to take list: Bank Card, Bus Pass, Alert Card, there are usually five things at least when I go out, what the… Ah! got one, flat key! So that’s just one to find now. Life has gone sour, but your Owls, and Bills and your witticisms keep me going. Hehehe! Keep safe!
I think you’ve perfectly described the political sludge really well in that ode. Thatcher was a disgrace to humanity. When Charles the second returned to England as the short lived Commonwealth crumbled he immediately had Cromwell’s bones exhumed and hung at Tyneside. It’s never too late 🙂
Cromells bones hung. Well, I didn’t know that, Sir? Then again, there’s so much I don’t know, education for me was learning survival techniques against the gangs. Been the same ever since, really. I’m sure others can see a sign that I can’t on my forehead… “Gullible”. Har-har! I waffle again, sorry.
It’s strange isn’t it, it’s a life not unlike Dickensian times with gangs, just the modern setting, nothing has really changed and survival has been harder.
We’ve not learnt how cure the disease of violence, that’s for sure, Sir.
Well, we have a similar list of politicians who keep lowing the bar of minimal accountability, accountability being the one with the fewest crimes against humanity. But I could not say that the UK has a cretin leader with a list of badities as long at our Number 45, DJT. Tony Blair and George W. Bush formed a rare team of poor decision makers in 2003; I think they took turns being the lap-dog in that relationship.
The RVM is indeed slipping into new chevron territory, or perhaps he forgot to attend to the parking brake and the van moved of its own device, helped a bit by gravity. Red vehicles continue to show up more than one would expect for a color that is not known for its popularity.
I spot a paw with three (3) claws up in the N’ham sky. Do I win a prize for this discovery?
Guten Appetit, mein Herr!
Bushes, and Blair – Stink!
Well spotted, the claw Sir Billum. A Certificationalistion of some sort, mayhaps? If I get time and can think up a ‘Rube’ theme… Yes…
