Ten...nice smelly things I could plant in the garden

Rosemary Thyme Mint Basil Lavender Flaars Curry plant Oregano Marojam Parsley

a herd of herbs

Have you heard?  A herd of herbs was taken there, Uprooted, stem and flowers bared, Stolen from the soil.  Have you seen? The creeping ivy leaned to me,  Whispered of reburying  Not ten feet along. Have you felt?  The hand is dealt from grass to kelp Lives lost in a snap And winter looms, fearsome. 

Ten...ways to keep a clear head

Eat and drink without entertainment Walk around the block  Write a silly little ditty in 10 minutes Clear your 'work' area (for writing, cooking, working, relaxing...) Take your earphones out when you're not listening to anything Look at something for a minute Irish designer guy's little games Stop what you're doing and lie on the floor Set a timer and get that thing  done. Right now.  Ask yourself: do I want  that, or is it just habit? 

Ten...fun sports scenarios

 Win the match with an overhead smash miss-hit drop shot. Especially against an angry bugger.  Striking a penalty so hard that it blasts off the crossbar, sails across the pitch, and into your own net.  Swap out your putter and golf ball for a cue and white ball on the greens. English, baby.  Surgery to replace knees and ankles with diesel-powered bogies. Win the marathon.  'Where's the cue ball going?' [cue ball leaves table, returns home, tells wife he's quit his job, etc. Full on short film] 'Probably a 5-iron, d'you think?' [golfer perilously swinging five steam irons at a golf ball] A duel to The Death [combatants fence their way through town until they reach the local haunt, The Death, for a pint] Thor playing bowling strike Ronnie O'Sullivan 'oh that's a beautiful cue' [referencing queue of people, skewers them, uses it to play snooker] 'She's a world class runner' [runner bean.......]
