My last day working at Woolies ever:

Dec 24, 2006 22:08

I am almost tearful, but that can be accounted for by the fact that the family just finished watching Love Actually.
To commemorate this day, two and a half years service, crazy stuff, I wrote a short poem about one of my work colleagues.

Tiny Oliver

Tiny Oliver takes off his aviators
and his pipe cleaner jeans
and his gangsta bling
and a hat too big for his head

and nearly pricks his finger
pinning Oliver above the pocket
of his blue striped shirt

In other news, Dodie Smith's I Capture the Castle is the best book in the world I think. I have been re-reading it compulsively as I stole it from Katie's bookshelf. It's so rambly and fabulous and real.

Merry Christmas to one and to all!

books: i capture the castle, supermarkets, christmas, work, poetry (mine)
