Monster Castle - A Poem

Wally was starting to feel foolish.
For sixth months now he'd been living in The Gothic House, or 'Monster Caslte' as it was known to locals. 
This was the dog-house sized medieval castle within Tovella Fountains.
Located in Killkenny Park, in Danga Danga, New South Wales Australia.
It was known as 'Monster Castle' not because of the gargoyles that anointed it, but for the fact teenagers used to trick younger kids into climbing inside to 'see a monster' only to often find themselves walking in on a 'circle jerk' session by the local football team. 
All in all the town were largely happy with how they'd spent their entire millienum arts budget.
Tourists did flock by to see it in numbers occasionally reaching double figures a year.
And after the bank of port-a-loos were installed adjacent to it, it now was only urinated in a dozen or so times a day. 
Wally cared not for any of that though.
The football players had stopped coming by to watch each other jerk off after he had discovered the funnel-web spiders nest and trained the babies to be his penis charging army.
And the teenagers had stopped tricking younger kids to go in there after Wally had built a shield made from the peeling testicle skin of dying football players.
And so now all that he needed was for 'Heltro - The Magic Wizard Warlock' to show up.
He'd been promised by his uncle Johnson that if he moved into the castle Heltro would show.
No time frame was given at the time, but Wally had begun to have doubts after four months.
And now six months in those doubts had evaporated and formed into a cloud, that now rained a feeling of foolishness on him.
Wally no longer believed that Heltro would show. 
But leaving without seeing him was a failure he couldn't face quite yet.
How would he explain what he'd been doing all this time with no end result to point towards? 
His attempts to think of a saving face solution were also a failure.
He was instead becoming bitter.
At the town.
At the fountain.
At Heltro.
But mostly at his uncle Johnson who had made this promise.
Wally knew he should never have trusted him.
He didn't have an uncle Johnson for starters.
Plus uncle Johnson was a sheep, and as far as he knew he didn't have sheep in his family tree.
Although his Nanna Gretna had looked a little Marinoesq in her last few years.
He carried around a handkerchief knitted from her chin hairs to remember her. 
Now that he thought about it the first time he'd seen uncle Johnson was when he had that flu, and was pumping himself full of meds and blowing his nose like crazy into Nanna Gretna's handkerchief. 
Maybe this was all Nanna Gretna's fault? 
'Oh screw this' he thought.
'I only wanted Heltro to show so I could ask him to send a message to Nanna Gretna'
'But THIS is how she repays me?'
Right then and there Wally threw his handkerchief out the window, where it flew like a Frisbee, and then lodged itself in a tree like a ninja star. 
A bird came and perched on it.
Then immediately puked.
And Wally finally left 'Monster Castle' cursing under his breath 'fuck you Nanna, you sweet old cunt'.
On his way out he tripped on his twelve inch toenails.
And suffocated in a massive puddle of years old football player splooge.

Castle


The castle was built strong. 
At least as strong as the materials available allowed. 
Which is strong enough. 
I don't need anyone saying 'it'd be stronger if it were made out of rock, concrete or even wood' because rock, concrete and wood were not available ok. 
So stop living your life in an alternative beautiful 'I wish land', where the fruit is sweet, the rocks are plentiful and unicorns didn't all stab themselves to death trying to lick themselves like dogs. 
If 'I wish land' existed there would be no need for wishes anymore because the ultimate wish would have already been honored and all the now abundantly available wishes would go wasted damn it. 


Lainy, the castles architect and foreman during construction, was proud of her achievement, and honored when praise swam her way.
Praise having recently begun to develop gills after an exhaustive and finally successful cross-breeding campaign with squid, which were able to accurately describe what gills looked like during post coital pillow talk, allowing praise to whip some up in a lab.
And the lord above, impressed with the castle, and relaxing after getting a rare day off from being the thing solely in charge of putting gills on things, glowed light upon the castle, a clear signal that this was a structure for the ages.
Although two minutes after turning on the glow the lord was all like 'for Christ's sake lord, when you're relaxing RELAX, this is exactly the type of thing the doc was saying I have high blood pressure, that and all the deep fried Ox spine'.

The castle was officially a success. 
And in being so, totally dampened the embarrassment that came with the fact she peed her pants on the bus ride to the beach.
Or should that be dried the embarrassment.
No, surely embarrassment starts dry, and needs to be moistened? 
It's like a rash, you WANT it wet. 
Either way, Lainy was feeling good again, something she doubted was possible just minutes earlier. 
Although she still planned to put fire ants in her stupid brothers bed for the nonstop teasing he'd unleashed, that stupid faced stupid head.

The Best Day project of my life – existing royal elegance



Today was the best day ever, because I got an awesome offer, the kind of offer few are ever offered, a special unique offer, and it was offered to me! Awesome.

Yep, I got offered to join the Castlewood Estate Residents Group!

Yes me!

How awesome does that sound? Well it's even better than you think, which I assume is already awesome, but check this out:

- It’s in Castlewood, which guarantees there will be a castle!
- And wood!
- Or at least wood found in a castle some place.
- Possibly somewhere known for its castles!
- Or its wood!

- It's an estate, which is what you leave behind when you die! Along with a corpse, and the smell of a corpse. And yet

- It's a residency, which is where people live! Which is the opposite of death.
- Which is paradoxical.
- And paradoxical things are awesome.
- They make life worth living.
- And living is one of the best things you can do while you’re alive.

- And it's a group, which is a congregation of people
- Or collection of something else in group form.
- And 'something else' could be people!

Yep it was one of the best offers I've had in ages.

Ok, in the end it turned out to just be a mistake, but in the meantime... Wow what a ride!
