2021 Conclusion

 

Napowrimo 2021

CONCLUSION

Okay, another year over, so congratulations to everybody who completed the NaPoWriMo challenge this year. I don't think I came up with anything amazing this time, but I did manage to do a few more of my 'Hello am I even here' series and hopefully I will have enough of them for a collection now. To finish the month I will attempt a final piece which I will post below.

Here it is:

JASON ALEXANDER HALL

The head chef at Dicks and Becks

(The warehouse where they wear cool specs)

he went to college to learn to cook

I saw this notice on the canteen wall

Jason Alexander Hall attended a one day

cookery course June Nineteen Ninety Nine

Does that mean he'll be a chef one day

or will he just carry on making sandwiches

to sell in his canteen vending machine

Hand made pasties cod chips and mushy peas

roast dinners bangers and mash vegan options

wouldn't it be nice to have home made quiche

a full English breakfast and pancakes for brunch

Sadly JAH would be if he could be chef can't cook

so the workers are eating cuppa soups and crisps

morning noon and nightly in the staff canteen

And here's one I wrote in 2018 and updated earlier this year about the same workplace.

WATCHERS

Clock watchers at Dicks and Becks

the warehouse where they wear cool specs

Then one day shock horror

the clocks were changed for mirrors

Now the shirkers look at one another cold

and watch themselves grow old

Day TWENTY FOUR


CHERYL'S SHOES

A silver buckle on her pumps

with candy floss and sugar lumps


Cheryl and her flaming shoes

she's got too many boots to choose

gin and vodka lots of booze

shoddy as her worn out shoes


Wears those things the Dutch call clogs

when she goes to walk the dogs

heels and stacks some made of logs

super shod with hobnail clogs


A girl with lots of crazy shoes

reds and greens and pinks and blues

flip flops that she needs to lose

those old things that her dog chews


When she wears her Sunday best

with candy floss and sugar lumps

much like Imelda shames the rest

a silver buckle on her pumps

Day Three


HELLO AM I EVEN EATING

I ask what we're having for dinner

We're having a carry out they reply

Oh good I respond can I have fried chicken

If you can order it they say laughing


I go to the pay phone in the hall

but I don't have any coins that fit

Have you got a two bob bit I ask them

Sorry love we don't use money these days


How ever do they buy things I think sideways

We'll have to go to the chippy then I say

Nooo they respond in tandem not today

we'll make it and carry it out to the greenhouse


That's not a carry out Darlink I say

Hello am I even eating ice cream
