If you’re squashed beneath life’s shoe
And you don’t know what to do
Just close your eyes
Galvanise
Your HOPE will carry you through!

Book Humour. A Sideways Perspective on the Bonkers Business of Books
This is the blog of a woman who is seriously on the edge and I mean right ON the edge…no, not there… just a little bit further… further than that…no, further still…just a tiny bit more… just move slightly to the right a little…no, that’s too much…just move a tad to the left…that’s right, just there…now you’ve moved too far to the left… Damn, what part of the ‘on the edge’ do you not understand? Oh, and her matricidal boy genius, come devil spawn.

Thank you… there’s enough “non-fun” in the world without me adding to it. Plus I agreed with our good friend Dr Meg that I’d go upbeat to balance her (fab) limerick this week!

And self-hosting just won’t do
Don’t fuss or fret
But don’t forget

That’s touched me in mysterious ways
And left me all of a daze
I’ve a smile on my face
My heart’s at a pace…
But it’s probably no more than a phase!
