Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 2-5-2019: King James Strikes Again … !

2nd May, 2019.

Yes: it’s officially Local Election Day.

If you’re in bits of the UK.

Personally?

I’ll be doing that later: once I’ve finished, indoors.

And … ?

For once, this year, I’ve actually found a party that’s standing, that I’m comfortable voting for.

Frankly?

If they weren’t standing … ?

I’d be encouraging folks to do what I usually do: if no one I like the look os is standing.

And telling you to spoil your vote.

“It is not simply a translation, but a poetic translation, written to be read out loud...to lodge in the mind and to disturb the temporal with the haunting sound of the eternal.”
Peter Hitchens.

And a song …
