Wonderwall Cover- A Tribute to Dogs

It's gonna be my dog's birthday next week so I thought I'd cover Oasis's song "Wonderwall" as a birthday wish. This one goes out not only to Chuni but to all the dogs I've known

Cheers. Enjoy!

Writer's Block

If you knew what I was thinking,
When I wrote this story,
Would it change the way you looked at me?

If you knew who I would kill and who I would spare,
And all about the twist I put 
In chapter seventeen,
Would you still be shocked?

If you knew what came next,
Every comma and fullstop in the text,
Would you still read me?

If you knew this story word for word,
Would the ending make you laugh or 
Would you slowly start to cry?

And could it be that, 
After some time,
You'd dig out this story
And read it again?

Would it be like the first time?

Really Short Stories


1) Father went in, ashes came out

2) The text said "Happy Birthday". The tree said "Time to go".

3) Whiskey by night. Hangover by day.

4)  The actor bowed at the end of the play. No one had stayed.

5) I came home tired. My dog wagged his tail. I revived.

6) Read Peter Pan. Took LSD. Found Neverland.

7) My calendar for today- C-Section at 10 am. Crematorium at 2pm.

8) The wedding photos were ready to speak a thousand words. The father couldn't speak a three letter word. He preferred the two letter opposite instead..

9) Lit a match. Inhaled the smoke. Coughed. #First_Smoke

10) Came home for spring break. Everyone had gone to my college.

Her Seed Cakes

The waitress at the diner,
Swears that the recipe is a secret,
But I know better,
Since I used to eat it,
Everyday

It's texture has changed,
The flavour isn't really the same anymore,
It's sort of like that line you hear now and then,
"Brand new movie, same old scene"
Except this cake has too much flour,
And too less butter,

And as I bite into it, I
Remember what you told me about chewing
My food thirty two times,
I recall being bored and how you kept me distracted,
By putting on the TV,

The truth is, there's something missing in this cake,
It just happens to be what made it so special,
And that something
Is you Mom,
I wish you'd come back to me
