Absurd Words

top

An eclectic collection of fiction, verse, rants, reviews and words about words.

I spent years at work writing procedure manuals, policy documents, Ministerial briefing papers, information sheets, discussion papers, booklets, memoranda -- some of it interesting, a lot of it a waste of effort and paper, but none of it exactly designed to nurture creativity.

I leaped at any opportunity to relieve the tedium and indulge my own sense of humour by producing satirical items for office social occasions, newsletters, presentations to colleagues who were leaving or celebrating a special event -- you know the kind of thing. I get a kick out of doing the same for family occasions. And of course, the daily papers present plenty of excuses to rip off a good rant to the editor, not to mention the bewildering proliferation of Usenet newsgroups that provide a perfect platform and ready-made audience.

So imagine, if you will, that these pages are the bottom drawer of my desk. God only knows what's in there, or why I kept the stuff anyway.
