| Ash Wednesday Poem | |
| By Talisker | ||||||||

For the uninitiated in roman catholic jiggery pokery - yesterday was Ash Wednesday. On that day catholics let a priest "annoint" there forehead with mucky wet ash, whilst mumbling to them a reminder of their mortality with (something like)... "you come from dust and to dust you will return" - Fine! Being dust will help me get post mortem revenge on my enemies! Oli To dust I will return, return to you I’ll settle on your table an insidious fallout Stick to your TV screen with static glue Accumulate like snow across your desk Swirl in your lungs like vacuum cleaner bags Irritate your eyes on summer roads And… Even when I’m dead I’ll still get up your nose Oli 22/02/07
