JD.,

you have excelled yourself with this poem. It speaks for most of us whose lives will leave little impact on the world except as memories for those who knew us. Poetry is a highly subjective genre which as a tribute to our earthly existence will tell much of who we were and possibly could have been.

A fine piece of writing
Thank you for this

Keith

Kevin,

Fifty five years ago I was Flo, not in drag but sitting beside a juke box in a cafe outside the camp gates where I was stationed at the time. I was crazy about Let's Dance by Chris Montez and played it endlessly to the annoyance of other servicemen who grew to loathe it.

A good poem. Do they still have juke boxes?
Thanks
Keith

Fascinating poem and subject, KJ. Those wall-mounted jukeboxes were never the same as the older ones. It's always been my ambition to have one of my own, for all those singles that never now get played. One day ... (but it better be soon!)

Oh, Stephen! I’m afraid you’re banging your head against a brick wall if you’re trying to counsel youngsters about falling in love. We young ‘uns have always fallen for it and always will.

I remember Hormonal times... At least, I think I do...
Wait, what was the question again?

Ah yes, I think that bloke Norm defines Normality.

Thanks to everyone who liked this poem and especially to Moon.girl for the wonderful poetic comment.

John - nettles and dandelions seem to predominate at our place as well. As you say, bloody nature, although it does reserve us a nice surprise from time to time.

Greetings to all.

Bloody Nature! It tries to ruin everything I plant in the garden! The fact of the matter is that what I plant doesn’t want to be there. They want to be in Japan or South Africa or the Andes. It’s the likes of nettles and dandelions and docks that Nature wants to be here. Bloody Nature!

Thank you K.J. sorry to hear about your Mother. It's an awful thing to witness. And, we seem to hear more & more of it these days, although, perhaps it's always been there, but was just referred to as 'old age'
Anyway Thanks!

Very best of luck, John. I hope the survey has already been done! We moved out of our house of 35 years in 2019. It did not rebel against our departure but seems to look a bit sad when we go past it from time to time. Hope you enjoy Crofton.

Thankyou, MC. What I struggle most with is the concept of downsizing to a worse house which will cost me more. Our Gert did explain it to me but I wasn’t listening.

A famous French philosopher stated:
"Judge a man by his questions rather by his answers." And from the same source: "There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times."
It is essentially the trait of today's "liberal mindset" to find it uncomfortable to address or mention anything that is contrary to the cosy one-way
version of modern received wisdom. Can anyone let me know the
last time any public reference was made to the activities of the sellers
of slaves in terms of "guilt". A failure to consider that aspect of a
pernicious trade is as much a failure of moral courage as it is a
failure of human intelligence to confront history "in the round".
Humbug takes various forms and that is one especially egregious
example.
End of story.
