March 15, 2015 | Ian Bland | Leave a comment The theme for this week’s JVG Radio Method poem is “Rushing“. Good to be back in the studio this week. Even if I did have to rush off once the show was finished. Also good news that Ed was back this week, and playing up a storm.

Shit, I’m late Bugger the shower, my appointment’s at 8:00 I was planning on riding but it’s too bloody far Bus, train and tram? Nah, I’m taking the car Breakfast? Forget it! No time to eat There’s a can of Red Bull under the seat Where’s my mobile? And glasses? God help me please Who’s seen my wallet? Ahh, can’t find my keys Somebody’s moved them: they were here in the drawer In my pocket? On my head? Oh, in the back door There’s a prang on the Monash: traffics not flowing Been rushing so much I forget where I’m going Calling this car park a freeway’s misleading Finally starts moving I get a ticket for speeding I’ve cancelled the dentist but I have still have to pay Barely 8:30, it’s thrown out my day The bank at 9:30: Botox at ten Neighbourhood Watch, then the city again 11:00, accountant: next is Pilates A mug of espresso, no soft cock soy lattes 11:30, the quack: My reflux is chronic Which leaves 15 minutes for a coffee colonic Dog’s groomed at midday: golf, if it’s fine Haircut at 2:00, so I’ll only play nine Can’t fit in lunch: I’ll have to cut back Do I look Cappacino? I’ll have a short black! Personal trainer, I’ll have to postpone Meet with a client: get petrol, go home Reschedule yoga: no time to relax 3:00, Have my anus bleached, a Brazilian wax School pickup, 3:30: Ballet at 4:00 Hang on, that’s Wednesday; or Thursday? Not sure Gymnastics is Monday – no Tuesday? Don’t know Either swimming or tennis, or maybe Tai Kwan Doh? Used to be music, now it’s drama, I think Something somewhere – I need an energy drink Dog obedience school, for a half hour at 6:00 Cocktails with neighbours; pretentious pricks Dinner? Not hungry. This heartburn won’t ease But a long macchiato! Extra long please A webinar at 7:00; then off to Karate A meeting on Skype, then a Tuppaware party Sort through my emails: finalise my divorce What keeps me going? The lifestyle of course A flat white, sans milk and I’m off to count sheep I can’t understand why I struggle to sleep Anyway, that’s enough: four minutes of rhyme It’s 3:28: I’ve run out of time Ed, you were splendid: splendidly frantic You could have played faster: but I’m being pedantic Next week? Text me, you know the spin How’s 2:19 Sunday? I can just squeeze you in Can’t dally, must fly: I enjoyed our discussion As always, I’m “Brosayas’” That’s Russian for Rushin’ © Copyright 2015 Ian Bland Also have a listen to the songs on the New Album “Angel In Reverse” Share this:TweetEmailMoreTelegram
