'Alice in Wonderland' illustated take on the economy...


The Never Ending Tea Party...
Finally, this one is ready to go !

Background notes :

I redid the jam tarts using a deeper, richer red to make sure that the jam tarts were really really jammy. Hope you will agree with me that they are indeed, really jammy jam tarts.
The title for this poem has changed since I first wrote this poem. I feel that this new title has a more overall relevance and isn't just intended for the tea parties that the senior bankers have been having at the taxpayer's expense, but also our MP's.

Under Pressure

It's the 23rd Feb. I'm so annoyed with myself. I'm under so much pressure to get my collection out that I feel I have to rush my last poems - which I hate doing ! I wish I understood the economy - instead I am listening and feeling all the undercurrents - the angry comments at media websites - of everyone's suffering and vented anger . I wish I could capture it all - then it would truely be national. Instead, I can't give my best because of being pushed into such a tight financial corner - being squeezed and stressed out all the time - worrying seems to take up quite a big portion of my brain. Oh hell !
