blogger (a poem)

In the world of blogger

there are

6,270,000 students

who should be concentrating on their studies

227,000 writers

not getting on with their novel

16 wild swimmers

sitting at home warm and dry

31,000 inhabit Dallas Texas

but a mere 10 hail from Sofia City (Bulgaria)

I was surprised that only 34 bored teenagers

declared themselves as inhabiting

'the middle of nowhere'.

Frank Zappa can claim 58,900 fans

where 5,100 love Joan Armatrading

One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest is relatively unknown (153)

but Pride and Prejudice has a huge fan base (623,000)

41,300 appreciate the falling rain

but only 50 will collect those fallen rubber bands.

There are 8,300 vegans and 8,600 vegetarians

but only 1,400 are real garlic aficionados.

44,200 like school, but I think some of them must be lying

(7,000 are adamant unschoolers too)

3,780,000 read the bible

fortunately 6,830,000 read at all,

so there must be plenty who have found other books more valuable.

4 people adore blackberry jam,

but I have to add myself to this figure

so five really.

And add me too

to the list of 3,300 who admire the work of Monty Python

338 have found their salvation in monasticism

so what are they doing on a computer

whilst 4,200,000 still find politics a worthwhile pursuit

some 61 of them are bullshitting

and most worryingly

only 26 people are concerned about keeping sane

Lizz alone is somewhat fond of thistle down.
