These are diary entries in the style of Tony Hancock who recited the following in one of his radio shows:

"Oh wondrous moon with silver sheen

That floats on high above East Cheam.

O'er dale and hill and through the mist,

Two o'clock Friday: Chiropodist."

                                                              Comedy still missed by many of us.

          

 

I comfort-ate my way all day To try to drive the blues away. Too many sweets my lips did pass, Six o'clock Monday: Weight Watchers' class. Exquisite garden full of flowers, I sit and doze away the hours Enchanted by those bird refrains, Midday Today: Man clearing the drains. I hold your image in my mind, A deeper love I'll never find. Aspects of your lovely face, Thursday: Must buy trout and plaice. A story I read made me feel good, Things turned out just as they should The sort of plot where all things click, It's Friday and the cat's been sick.
