I see Love scattered all around

 Well I've been triggered by a buzz saw in the neighbours garden

and I got up too soon,  I had to

later on, a phone hold music triggered me again

I was convulsing in my living room

Yes convulsing, like after a cop tazered me

YES REALLY

that's my life

Tinnitus is no fun

Anyway I had an idea for a poem a few weeks ago

So I'll try and put it down below

AND I noticed my belt was looser

I am only 18.5 stones now or 117 kilos if you are metric

For Yanks 18.5 stones is. 252 + 7pounds

259 pounds

Allegedly I weigh MORE than Trump, still

If I lost 2 more stones I'd be back to my Prime Weight

I used to be 16.4 when I used to weigh myself daily

In my computer room days

Though I left that job 25 years ago

So here's a poem

I see Love scattered all around (c)

By

Michael Casey

I see love scattered all around

the scattered toys everywhere

the ketchup on the wall, next to the ball of snot rubbed in

my daughter will be an artist that's for sure

the books half open with a toy as a bookmark 

a giraffe is really good to help you remember

what page you are at

a cat's tail is good too, but she ran away when you closed the book on her

a half eaten sandwich left of the floor, because Daisy has had enough

a streak of sick outside the back door by the kitchen

because being dizzy is children's alcohol, but too much spinning

and you puke before you can guide it down the drain

next door's dog was not quick enough, and so he's off to roll in the mud

the only way to remove child sick from his fur coat

badly drawn pictures of mom and dad in crayon on the fridge and washing machine

fridge magnets galore like a disease covering everything in the kitchen, even the oven door

shoes of every size and colour everywhere, and a clump of cat's fur ball too

important letters scattered everywhere with crayon drawings of fish on them

the wife's bra with clasp broken is behind the sofa, and scratch marks too

you swear  it was the cat who scratched to back of sofa so much

and a few hooks from the curtain behind the sofa are missing too

Deny everything that's what parents do

at least the neighbours did not get to enjoy the floor show on the carpet

so lets see what the Future brings, let's hope we still have the baby car seat 

somewhere
