Kick-ass Tenpin Bowling.

You will be thrilled to know that the 10 pin bowling team I am in (we call ourselves Whatever) came first in the finals this year. We've been at it for a number of years now and this is our first "First Place Achievement. Bowling has finished for the year and will resume at the end of January 07. Prize givings next week in the Petone Workingmans' Club. They usually put on a good feed and a healthy bar tab.

Speaking of alcohol the Parks and Reserves are holding thier Christmas Party tomorrow, that aught to be fun, I guess and next Friday is the Cemetery Christmas party. Plenty of Blog type material to put into this blog thingy. So keep tuned to this space.

City Improvements

Changes. Wellington seems the windy city of change. Over the past few months, things have changed, changed, changed. One of the latest is that of another Wellington icons have disappeared. Unable to compete with the "New World Supermarket" that has got the go ahead to be constructed in Wellington Railway Station the Kiosk has been forced to close down.

Karori has been inundated with a plethora of speed humps and road islands, not to mention a number of traffic lights. The Karori Park upgrade is nearing completion and with any luck should be finished before the end of the century, and who knows so may Transmission Gully.

You will all be pleased to know that the city bypass and the Makara wind farms are going ahead, as are plans for the new Stadium in Auckland. It is also comforting to know that Wellington taxpayers are going to take such pride in partially financing it. I only hope it is as dictatorial as the cake tin with its rules and regulations.

So all in all we are proud of our changes and look forward to a better tomorrow when we have done away with everything that originally gave Wellington it’s charm and character.

-Psycho Kitty-

Come listen to my ditty about a psycho kitty,
A Persian pretty in a dirt box gritty,
Feeling no pity for the strays of the city
Sweet Mr Bitty turned Psycho Kitty

Both bird and bat are prey for this cat
His Tummy so fat; full of mice and rat
In house and flat, he’s an impish brat
He’s a one pus-frat, doesn’t need no pat

There’s an insidious growl when he’s on the prowl
As his hungry eyes scowl at the raven and owl
With breath so foul reeking of fish and fowl
If vocals would allow, at the full moon he’d howl

In the heart of the city in a dirt box so gritty
Sits our vicious pretty with no charity or pity
Singing: "Do Wa Diddy", getting to the nitty-gritty
Sweet Mr Bitty turned Psycho Kitty

An A to Z story

ZANY BARBECUE
By
Leslie Blackwell
(An A-Z Short Story)

Another barbecue
Copious drinking, eating.
Flatulent Grandfather hollering in Japanese.
Kinfolk laughing.
More neighbours, obnoxious plebes; quaffing rum, staggering, talking, urinating
"Vodka, whiskey, xtra Yams!
ZANY!

Poem One

I could not think of anything interesting to say so I thought I might just add a couple of poems to this blog

Ode to Peanut Butter
I like peanut butter
Eating peanut-butter,
Yummy peanut-butter
Mmmmmm peanut butter!

Some say that I’m a "nutter",
Sitting in the gutter,
Eating peanut-butter,
Nutter Peanut-butter
Mmmmmm peanut butter!

I see them close the shutter
When they see me in the gutter
With my bread and peanut butter
Eating peanut-butter,
Gutter Peanut-butter,
Mmmmmm peanut butter!

Oft times I hear them mutter
So awkwardly they stutter
About the man inside the gutter
Eating crunchy peanut butter,
Eating peanut-butter,
Mutter-Stutter Peanut-butter
Mmmmmm peanut butter!

My heart goes flitter-flutter
As I spread it with a putter
Not a single word I utter
Then I think about Calcutta
Eating peanut-butter,
Calcutta peanut-butter
Mmmmmm peanut butter!

Check out this for size!
You may well think its lies?
"But when you search the skies
You’ll find no Peanut-Butterflies"
Eating peanut-butter,
Yummy peanut-butter
Mmmmmm peanut butter!
