This Has Been Disappointing – Written Friday 21st March 2025 (Aged 50)

This Has Been Disappointing

This has been disappointing,
yet I am the disappointment.
Lack of change,
no room for appointment.

This has been lacklustre,
and that’s the truth.
If this is the model to follow,
then it needs a different route.

This has been disappointing,
yet I am the disappointment.
That type of thing —
it’s not me, but you.

Follow-my-leader is childish,
and in this case, lacking a view,
and, to tell the truth,
anything new.

This has been disappointing,
yet I am the disappointment.

James Garratt – Friday 21st March 2025
