    Hugo’s Ego: The Second Hugo Werther. A man of large learning. And a man curiously given over to his vanities and conceit, these negative qualities so oddly filtered through his eccentric nature, as to render his actions and life most worthy of account on these pages…  Let us, then, peruse the life of this strange…

      The battle has begun, and the rage is strong Men swear and struggle and deny all love. The air is thick, smoky and vile, With a stench of blood and a world gone wrong… No man whispers, all is loud and fierce Hatred pronounced and a thirst for death. The guns declare that all…

    Teacher is so boring My boredom is a pain… I picked my nose so hard My finger drove me insane… Teacher is so boring… But that’s not my only pain: I thought it ’twas a bogey- But in fact it ’twas my brain… (©️ Daniel Macintyre 09/09/2025 protectmywork.com)

    Beef strips aren’t good for the hips- but they’re good for the soul of a dog! They go so fast, they’re not made to last- they’re as good to the mouth as a snog! If I was a pup I’d eat them all up- and probably beg for more! But as I’m a man I’ll…

                              The Sinner                                   I. Something warm and kind left my soul And the privilege of life became an empty dream.When I sinned, I was the fools I’d despised-The felons we all cast off from ourselves. My body is the outcast of my own soul-Torn from favour, it resides in the dark.Tomorrow is the outcome…

    The Nihilist There is a school of thought I have come to know That I have not known before. I see- as seeing is in the mind- A man who is this thing… He lives in the heart of winter And that heart is all he knows. His life is like a winter wind That…

    The Fisherman A little rain is but a little pain- A gloomy sky is not met with a sigh! Give him a rod and give him some bait: On the river bank he’ll sit and there he will wait. Maybe he will sit there for the whole of the day- With a meditative look not…

    The Feeling My heart ascends to heaven’s height When the feeling finds my soul! My heart is the perfect picture As this feeling takes control. The world is an image I know Like myself and all I am- The past is here like today And I can think like any man. Secrets unfold with a…
