Welcome

Welcome to 'A Frample', a confused tangle of columns, prose poems and lyrics. It's not so much a blog as an online folder, lying somewhere between a drawer and the bin.


My girlfriend

July 1973

My girlfriend smokes only the best cigars, and claims to own an autographed bikini that was a gift from Sophia Loren.

Sometimes her pawn hits a landmine on the chess board and she isn't bothered that she has ruined the whole damn game.
