Ria Bacon: editor & writer

Linguist with wanderlust,

From the catacombs of Rome to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica.
From the heather of the Veluwe to the dust of Dakar ...

Currently resident in the Land of Sea with a small tribe of kids and Mr B.

Ria Bacon is unwell

For every problem there is a solutionI’m indisposed
I’m out of sorts
I’m laid up, feeling peaky
I feel run down, below par
Laid low, down with a wog

Feeling crook and poorly
A bit seedy and woozy
Moby Dick, currant cakey
I’m wobbly but running a temperature
As sick as a dog but not as a parrot

Ain’t got the trots or the runs
Me Bali belly’s holding steady
Not green but off-colour
No Wallace & Grommit, just iffy
Ain’t been talking to God on the porcelain telephone …

Still …

“Je suis maladeuh! Complèteuhment maladeuh!”
