So I thought I'd bother the All Souls' blog with one or two of the recent ones. <BR/><BR/>[clears throat, comes over all shy]<BR/><BR/>Christmas Wishes<BR/><BR/>By popular request<BR/>Captain Hook will replace his hook with a tickly feather duster<BR/>and pass around the gobstoppers with the Lost Boys.<BR/>As a seasonal gesture<BR/>the Daleks will change their war-cry to “Have a nice day”<BR/>and The Joker will actually tell one.<BR/><BR/>By popular request<BR/>global warming will global cool<BR/>and the beef-farms of the Amazon will be turned back into rain-forests.<BR/>As a seasonal gesture<BR/>entropy will take a holiday in St Tropez<BR/>and dropped toast will consistently fall butter side up.<BR/><BR/>By popular request<BR/>and as a seasonal gesture<BR/>the inconsolable will be consoled, <BR/>the unacceptable will be accepted, <BR/>the unforgivable will be forgiven,<BR/>and something unthinkably and invisibly large<BR/>will pack itself into a space <BR/>invisibly small.<BR/><BR/>If you only make one wish this Christmastime <BR/>make sure it’s for something impossible. <BR/><BR/><BR/>18.12.07Tim Chappellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17298859954434386349noreply@blogger.com
