Leaving Me For Years
Posted by Matt Green in Commentary, Latest Posts on May 24, 2012
I was sitting in the Ampersand Cafe & Bookstore in Crown Street a little while ago when I stumbled upon a small paperback titled ‘I Quite Like My Wife’, by John Turnbull. The book contained an interesting series of poems and short stories, some of which were quite entertaining, whilst others were very poignant. The poem below however really [...]

Posted by Matt Green in Commentary, Humour, Latest Posts, Short Stories on April 26, 2012
Like a bad movie franchise (think Saw 2 onwards) we’re back with another round of trivial trash, beginning with: Of Licking Toads and Elbows. The vast majority of the population cannot lick their elbows. Pause whilst the reader attempts the impossible. What many people don’t know is that elbow skin is actually toxic. There is [...]

iDad the Eighth

Move over Maradona. By the time I had become a proud father of five I was nearing my late thirties. Unfortunately I had gained weight with each and every child that came along and my physique was no longer the bronzed Adonis of my early adolescence. My body had matured, like a fine wine or [...]

Posted by Matt Green in Humour, iDad, Latest Posts, Short Stories on January 30, 2012
Mini Me I have mentioned previously about God Sakes love for all things miniature and his unfortunate inclination to eat said tiny toys. Well Granny also had a predilection for the pint sized. To him, every itty-bitty item was somebody’s baby and, like his brothers before him, his favourite were prehistoric monsters. Plastic dinosaurs (or [...]

No Home For Old Folks.
Posted by Matt Green in Latest Posts, Short Stories on December 8, 2011
Early this morning I wandered through an old, deserted warehouse watching the dusty cobwebs drift lazily on an invisible zephyr.

My Uncle Bill passed away earlier this week. His funeral is today and he is to be buried in the quaint little town of Wanganui, in the north island of New Zealand. My parents have flown across the ditch to say goodbye. I wish I could have too. My father’s brother was a lovely gentleman. [...]
