David Mitchell - I Hate This Weather

I hate this weather—
it makes me feel really depressed—
have I got seasonal affective disorder? —
I don’t think so—
why can’t it rain upwards from the ground?
It’s not the rain I mind—
It’s the clouds,
the clouds,
the damned clouds!
stratocumulus
nice fluffy white clouds
why can’t they be a different colour
like yellow or something
it would be much more interesting
yellow would denote acid rain
white clouds good yellow clouds bad
sheep are white aren’t they
baa baa black sheep
that’s a type of beer
I don’t like beer
I prefer wine
E flat major tastes of white wine
yes it does
carried nobody at all contradicente
whydoesjamesjoycestringwordstogetherwithouthyphens
originally there was no punctuation
its a mediaeval invention
like spectacles
my eyes are dim I cannot see
I come so that those who are blind may see and those who see may be made blind
let there be light
redorangeyellowgreenblueindigoviolet
its a continuum
