CHAFF

Tuesday is February, an unwanted day

like the unwanted month, of no use whatsoever.

Might as well call it the unwanted day and useless month.

Can’t go and get pissed or dance in a glitzy club on a Tuesday.

It wouldn’t feel right if you could, the working week not even half thru.

What to do? Play darts at the pub? Okay for sad middle-aged grey men.

And what to do in February? Go and get a tan in Spain, yea right.

Or skiing in Norway, my spiritual home.

For us all February and Tuesday are useless,

no more but chaff against the wheat.

Come on July and Friday!
