Never trust a man who looks like an owl...

I fear not the hobgoblins, sneaking in the glades...
I ignore the whisper of the haunted trees.
I know their lies from old, experience has made me wise.
I know the spirits that live in the roots, that drink up the water, dry up the life, sink into the wood, and speak through the branches and leaves in evil tongues.
I know their ways.
I am old.
Experience has made me this way.
I am no stranger to the dark.
I have seen the mare charging through the night.
I have seen the eyes gleaming in the firelight.
Green eyes, watching me.
Music helps keep it at bay, but it knows me and knows my way.
I do not fear the goblins, or the whispering of the trees.
In the deepest part of the forest, you find none of these.
Because like me they know not to go there...
Like me they fear the Owl Man.
The Owl Man...
The Owl Man...
They know where he lives, where he sleeps at day,
They know where he stalks at night and keep well away.
Up in the trees he fills the air with a screech that's hard to bear, he calls up the spirit folk, and speaks in many tongues.
He haunts our dreams at night, and he is talked of in many songs.

Do not trust the owl man!
He will give you sweets, and speak sweetly. He will offer promises, and speak to you in poetry.
Do not trust the owl man...

His eyes are vast like moons,
He watches you in dunes,
In dreams,
In worlds made of a thousand thoughts.
He lives in trees,
He lives in our hopes,
But at nighttime you are sure to be caught.
For the night is his domain,
And you are a fool should you remain,
On the open road at night.

He will sail over you, a vast cloud of doom,
Darker than night,
Fear him!
The owl man!
He is no friend.
Ignore his words and fear his eyes...

Should you ever see a man standing on a branch,
In the middle of the woodland glade,
Fear him, fear him!
Fear the Owl man!
Flee if you can! Don't get caught in a trance!

Get away from the woods...
Seek your homes...
Lock your doors and windows...
Because he knows,
Lord of dreams,
The wild ways of the human mind.

Put light to the shadows.
Turn away not from the dark...
And pray for morning rise,
To wipe away the lies,
Of the Owl Man's power -
For he is the Lord of Dreams.

Drunk on water?

I once knew a man from Leeds

Who used to deal in seeds...

Poppy seeds don't you know?

He told me he had a problem with water.
I felt so sad for the fellow.
'Every time I drink water,' he said, 'I always get stone drunk. It's so awful!'
I said to him, 'That is so awful. How do you get by without drinking water?'
He looked so forlorn.
'It is a struggle,' he replied. 'A desperate daily struggle, a struggle where I suffer very badly. What I do is, whenever I need to drink, I mix my water with cockney tea blend. It tastes strange, and makes my head go all weird, but it works and it is the only way I can drink water.
The other day, at work, while at a meeting someone got me some water from the dispenser unit. I drank the water because I didn't want anyone to think I was being rude. I got so drunk and made a fool out of myself. It was awful. I danced around on the desk and my manager was outraged. I tried to explain my situation but he thought I was lying, and he sacked me there and then for drunken misconduct...
'It was a sad moment for me because I worked so hard to get that job.
'Now I am a washer man - but whenever I get a drop of water in my mouth I get drunk and end up getting into fights with people.'

I felt I needed to help this person out.
So I did some research.
And after some time I discovered this strange ancient Shamanistic method for removing Drunk Water Disease.

One day we decided to carry out the Shamanistic method.
It was going to be a day of cleansing.
So we sat out in a forest, and I read the ancient words, and blew honey dew leaves through a fire.
My friend inhaled the honey dew and already I saw a change come over him.
He started to speak:
'I feel...
'I feel!
'I feel happy! Happy happy Hippo!'
And then I watched with my own eyes as my friend transformed into a great big fat old hippo!
Ha Ha!
What a sight it was!
'I am going off to find my friends now,' said the Hippo.
And he plodded away to a zoo.
So he was a hippo all along, eh?
That explains a few things.
Now my friend could relax in a swamp with all the other big hippos, and get a drunk as he wanted because he didn't have to work anymore!

THE END!!!

Almost a dinosaur

Ha ha!

Amazing!

Prehistoric beasts roaming the earth. Imagine being stuck in a jungle. Your plane crashes and your trapped in this place, all alone, armed with nothing but your wits.

Because that is all that you have got in, the deep jungle.

It is like a whole new world to you. Everything in this new dimension wants to kill you -

the plants

the insects

the reptiles

Everything is after your blood.

It is a foul thing.

But your worst enemy will always be yourself.

Panic you lose your wits, and then you die.

But there are times where it really doesn't matter how skilled you are - when you are taken out of your chosen environment you drop to the bottom of the food chain - and then survival is more about luck, than skill.

Because there is something out there in the forests.

It's bigger and badder than you.

And nothing will hold it off.

And once its got you, it's game over, and your elements will join with the dense living underground of the underworld - that vast jungle where man has no influence and no power.

IN the jungle all is as dark as night.

For in that place there are creatures who breathed air before man, vast monsters who care not for the rule of man.

This is there domain -

They survived the thing that killed the dinosaurs - and they will rule in the dark forests long after man has sunk under the the shadowy mountain of fate.

Living Ghosts

You can always have a laugh at ghosts stories...

Are they real...

Are they fake...

You can film them and everyone will just say - "Great special effects son! Did you do that on Windows Film Maker!"

It's crazy crazy stuff...

But then there is the strange world of the sea...

O yes!

The sea is the strangest place of them all!

The last great mystery!

Who knows what is going on in that beautiful and deadly place.

And I don't mind not to know either.

I prefer the deep gloomy depths of the inner world to remain as dark and out of bounds as the confines of a madman's mind...

Living ghosts...
