Just [Click Here]

The Christmas season may leave us regretting an overindulgence in online shopping clicks - but what if it's a whole life's worth? Sylvia Daly's amusing poem on the subject has a sting in its tail.


Before we slink back to the mince pies, Weird Sisters wish you all a meaningful and connected winter rest and a peaceful New Year.





Just [Click Here]



A brand new home,

A garden gnome,

instructions read so clear.

To satisfy all your desires

just [Click Here]


To find a mate,

and fix a date,

Or kickstart your career.

To make your hi-tech life complete.

just [Click Here]


Visit your bank,

have a quick wank,

you’re a modern day Buccaneer.

No messy, human intercourse.

just [Click Here]


To war you’ll go

and fight the foe,

with drones the pest will clear.

You’ll kill with reckless disregard.

just [Click Here]


You’re now apart

from head and heart.

It’s not too late, I fear

to reconnect with all that’s love

Do Not [Click Here]


 A small child’s cry,

a woman’s sigh,

soul music to your ears.

To feel the pulse of humankind

Do Not [Click Here]
