These days
I’m back to writing about hills, rain and greens.
These days
I walk tall.
I learn a cuss word a day.
No-nonsense. Don’t mess. Please.
No fripperies, and thank you very much.
These days
I get a surprisingly lot done. I’m not jumpy anymore.
I don’t stop to analyse,analyse. Not much.
Or fret.
What have I said now to offend.
Why do you suddenly call me “ austere”, o’my, that’s quite a tumble.
Or wonder about ghosts and sundry gremlins in mailboxes.
I don’t need to be making a living from questions people don’t ask
To fathom.
But no, that’s not rocket science.
You’ve to be reminded about manners?
Don’t you know when someone’s ill you ask?
Or were you always like this.
I was blinkered, I couldn’t see.
My bad.

wht exactly did you get used to?:))
this:
I get a surprisingly lot done.
i would read it as
I get surprisingly a lot done.
but now "a surprisingly lot" sounds like one big noun. (?)
sorry to keep harping on the same point. hope it doesnt make you hysterical like it does me. heh!
Let me ask Alice or Carter- they would know.
