The clocks go back on Sunday,an extra hour in bed.
But shorter days and colder nights,winter lies ahead!
Three yellow weather warnings have been issued by the met.
A 24 hour deluge of rain we are about to get.
Floods are expected due to leaf blocked drains,
A dark and dismal cloudy sky over the U.K. reigns.

Thanks, Don and Ruth! Ruth, yes, there is a quote by one of my favorite poets (Rudy Francisco) that goes something along the lines of "I tell myself every hour can be happy hour as long as I'm on this side of the ground". Overall I know this isn't my best work (I've been struggling recently - I think it's because I try to write poetry only around 5 am or so, but that's ok, it's all a part of the process.

Re; Brewing up - couldn't agree more M.C. There must a word out there that perfectly describes this mind boggling scenario - (something like conundrum). Will it ever come to a satisfactory conclusion for everyone. I think Writeoutloud helps us get it off our chest. I wonder if that word I might be thinking of could be 'Wrexit' or could even be 'Vexed it' Am sure someone will coin a suitable phrase one day. ?

Hahaha!
one of my young grandsons was taken by his parents on last wekend's 'people's march' to support remain. They photographed him wearing a 'bollocks to Brexit teeshirt. When I asked him why he was a remoaner he said because daddy said I'd need someone to wipe my arse one day and English people wouldn't do it!
Crosby Stills and Nash come to mind!
Just about says it all I think.

To plagiarise the great Sammy Cahn.

Time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be leaving the EU
So lucky to be
On the way to being free
In the future when we start anew
I only know what I know.
The passing years will show
We made our hopes
So fresh - so new
And time after time
I tell myself that I'm
So lucky to be leaving the EU !

Well spotted John just so! Grey area. Jack was a bit of a lad more accurate but I used that for rhyming. Many once familiar idioms are disappearing from common language owing to the wide sweep of outside influence. I met a few likely incoherent some of them were..

Many thanks for opening up the poem and enjoying the spirit of it. A reading like that completes a circle. I started with the image of an ox cart! You may know mussorgsky. Pictures from an exhibition and the slow piece Biddloh. A rustic scene. Your quote is appropriate about Carneval and applies I suppose to pantomime too. Many barriers have been crossed in that genre especially cross gender concepts. A healthy counterpoint to stuffy victoriana.
Made my day!
Ray.

Hi Don - Brewing Up. Certainly is politics and driving us absolutely potty with the different takes of MP input and delay. Politicians all seemed to have reached a new level of public disapproval - and it will take them a very long time to regain their street cred if they ever will. But I for sure, am not the lone voice in the wilderness. P ?

Thanks for your comment on my profile re my comment on your 'Love Me'. I'm always looking for a chance to bring humour out (Thalia and I have bonded quite nicely - my Muse of Mirth). You need to get to know me though to know how to take me. Thalia wrings her hair out at times......

Gosh, you're in a bad way Phil.
Thale is worried. She suggests perhaps you didn't listen to the stars and follow their guiding hand to the winning lottery ticket?
We're not cheering him up here are we Thale?
We're sorry to hear about you Phil
The gasses which seep from your pit
Your wearing-out brain and your withering head
You'll have to just get on with it
That should cheer him up......
