Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

Do not disturb

July 5, 2026

Do not disturb,
do not disturb,
for I am disturbed enough already,
and I am ready to not be disturbed,
for I want to be happy,
and not unhappy,
which is far too often the case,
and it is a disgrace,
so, I will stay indoors,
with the finest wines,
and I will stay away from the human race,
I will stay away from the human race,
because that is the only place,
where I will find peace,
because there is far too little peace in this world,
and far too much grief,
far too much grief,
and I wish it was not the case,
because I cannot keep up with the human race,
and life is far too frantic these days,
and I can quite happily spend whole weekends,
with bottles of wine,
and engrossed in books,
because in my own home,
that is the only place,
I can find sanity,
the only place I can find sanity,
yes, it is away from the human race.
