This Friday, 12th September, my family are dropping my younger brother Tom off at the University of Glasgow for his first day. My eldest brother Matthew and I have been trying to advise him on what to pack and to help him decide what items he needs to take with him for the big move. Luckily my Mum went to Wilko’s and bought most of the items he might need for his next few months of self-catering, self-laundry, and self-organisation. I wish him all the best with the next step and secretly I am quite glad he’s not too far from me, so I can give him a cuddle any time he gets home sick.

With less than two weeks to the Scottish Independence vote we could both be studying in an independent Scotland from the 19th of September 2014. I wonder if that will make any difference to us…

Ode to Exes Everywhere

You were no Gautama Buddha;
turns out, you were a barracuda!

Or a rat, old hat, who scat with a blat,
up the creek, with a squeak — imagine that!

Just an ender, an offender, a greedy over-spender —
your destructive feud, was horribly rude,

and my tongue has been in-cheek
during this opera comique, you pipsqueak!

But your latest is your “greatest,” so now I exclude
your ineptitude, dude! Myself, I won’t delude.

You’re unproductive, so you go splat!
I’m not destructive, but thoroughly instructive!

You can’t handle my words?
I know, you prefer turds.

Have a nice life;
thank god I’m not your wife.

I am a Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, Jew
I am a Christian, Bhuddist, Pagan and few
I can be Sunni, Shia, Sufi too
Cathholic, Protestant can be true
I am what I am, what I will be
placed in my coffin people will see
from all the religions I just call
I am a Human above all
