For the life of her, Chloe could not figure out how what had seemed like such a good plan, had gone so terribly, terribly wrong.

If you’re struggling to write a poem for a loved one for Valentine’s Day, take heart: even the great poets had to start somewhere.
Selected Early Writings of the Poets   I the roses are red and all the violets are blue oh look, a haiku - Basho II Roses are red, unlike those daffs, I wander lonely as a giraffe cloud. - William Wordsworth   III Look – the roses are red! They make my heart sing! They fill me with hope – Like a feathery thing! - Emily Dickinson IV ROSES ARE … NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE? I MUST HAVE LEFT MY CAPS LOCK ON - ee cummings V Roses are dead, see how they droop. All of us die: life’s only truth. - Philip Larkin VI The roses had gone (unlike my bunion) so got this instead – here, have an onion. - Carol Ann Duffy Brian Bilston

It's another one of them Viz Letterbocks letters, and it reads as follows: I WONDER if your readers can help me remember the title of a film I saw as a child. Idon’t recall much of the plot, but it was mostly about men in stetson hats riding horses and shooting at each other. It was set in the past, I think, possibly in America. Can anyone help?

If anyone needs me today I’ll be cracking on, getting back to it, having no rest for the wicked, going back to the grind, heading onwards and upwards and just generally getting there.

Immediately after I have a cup of tea.

Full house for Xmas including kids partners. After games & karaoke, I nipped upstairs for a dump; a cavalcade of pent up farts heralded shits sounding like a barrel of snails being emptied down a well. I was met downstairs with silence. Karaoke mic was in dressing gown pocket.
