Sticking to my " things to do while we're all stuck at home" theme, here's an index ( what, another one ?) I compiled ( sounds posh) way way back into prehistoric times (mid 2018-ish). But first, this, wot I've just made up ..... Back then I was young and sprightly I would be birding daily and nightly With my raincoat zipped up tightly But my notes were written shitely ... But these days I work indoors Instead of roaming the moors I saunter on carpeted floors Wearing my purple plus-fours ... For that is the life of the writer His burden's remarkably lighter No longer a "birding-by- nighter" No bins ... just a nifty typewriter ! Indexes are now my profession It's got to be quite an obsession But there's nothing that rhymes well with those So this poem is going to close ! After that ridiculous diversion ... here's that "mystery index" ... read on, read on ... .......................................................................

I told you they were useful. Aahng-ung-ung 115 A-liitle-bit-of-bread and nooo cheese 116 Chak 115, 116 Chip 116 Hihi heea 115 Kee kee kee 115 Kerwacky wack 116, 117 Ki ki ki 115 Pee-oo 115,116 Pszeeee-az 113 Pszeee er 114 Skee-eaz 114 Skee-er 113 Spee 113, 114 Tjip 116 Tseeh 114 Tseeze 113 Tsip 115,116 Tsissi-tseri-tsi, tsi,tsi, tsiu 115 Twik 115 Twink 116 Twit 116 Twi-tick 116 Twitup 116 Tzeeaz 114 I've no idea whether you'll find that incredibly difficult or dead easy. But it does look ( and sound) nice, does it not. ? If only all indexes/indices were as interesting/ unusual/barmy/eccentric/brief. Meantime, a bit of word-related music ...
