when will this sadness end?
she asked, because she knew it must
we both could feel the cold lump of it
in our stomachs, welding us together
when we are both happy?
I offered, to see how happy might sound
it sounded like a bowl of tears
a set of randomly selected letters
it reprised the call of an albatross
fatally wounded

You don’t look old enough to know that!

Haha! Looks can be deceiving! 😉
No, I was given a book of the Monty Python scripts by one of my teachers when I was a teenager (back in the 90’s) and fell in love.
Timeless humour 👍🖤
