2432 - Rose and crown

Another late night, but now a long week-
end to come, hurray! Friday night sketching
At Dr Sketchy, and I won a sleek
Pair of child's ear-muffs and a decaying
Rose - pix on Facebook - thanks Nance for taking
Them. I took some funny pix afterwards
Of us on the street generally clowning
My sketch was OK but it was the words
I added that did it. To win awards
Is a rare but delightful thing. To seek
Approbation, an all-too-human thing
Expensive meal in Thomas' Restaurant
But a good time was had. Now time to sneak
To bed with a book, read til I'm sleeping...

2175 - Sketch and the city

Hello, it's me again, it's Sunday night
Another night out, and I'm pissed again
Life drawing, a male nude, sketches are like
Cartoons done in three minutes are such fun
A thick pencil or charcoal and I'm done
A couple of coffees and hot chocolate
Then on the way to Odd Bar we are stunned
To hear the open mike night's off, and chat
To Nearly Dead Poets, discuss a twat
Then we go there anyway, have a bite
To eat, very tasty, chinwag, and then
I walk home and arrive in time to sit
And watch Match of the Day. Man City might
Screw up here but they just beat Southampton!
