Being in tune with your neighbours is hitting the right note. I wear headphones when creating my own songs - and that can help!
I'm having late life fun writing songs and lyrics (often relations of verse) and it's fun
putting them "out there" in one form or another. Excellent exercise for the brain too!

A salutary lesson in how to defuse the "convenient" causes for so
much counter-productive reaction often based upon prejudged beliefs and prejudices. Wish there were more examples to sign-post
the road to human understanding and forgiveness.

My husband is a long haul truck driver. He always has very interesting stories about where he had to 'go'. He could write a book about all the fine specimens he has left in crazy places.
Hey, when you gotta go...YOU GOTTA GO!!!
Poop on
I look forward to more chapters

A heartening and epic report with your heart well and truly pinned to it Greg.. my poem was London centric and equally addicted. A celebration on the creative level makes a good antedote to the festerings of Brexit.

Domestic abuse is rampaging through our land,
It's definitely getting way out of hand.
Let's embed a message in every single school,
That cruelty to you partner is not very cool.
In rugby and football where rivalry is at a high,
To end abuse should be our goal and hopefully score a try.

there's a fear I might sound like one of Monty Python's "Four Yorkshiremen" when I say this, but that's exactly how I remember my own childhood home.
I can remember my mum having to unplug the light to plug the iron into the socket. then having to iron on the twilight.

I wanna be a hammer
I wanna be a stake
Please Miss can I? can I?
I wanna scare partake
'Partake's a very big word
Johnny for you to say
I had to use 'partake' Miss
To make it rhyme, hey hey
You're hired Johnny. Here's your hammer and stake. Careful , don't hammer Ruth Johnny! (You don't hammer the person who hires you......) ?

I heard your writer clicking
Down the wire as you did type
The ribbon it was sticking
(You didn't know I heard that did you ?...) ?
I'm trying to be green-friendly like Keith dk. I've got a black phone but the telephone company won't connect it. They say it's too primitive. Something about buggering up their circuits... Stamps keep rising and never know what to put on the envelope... Whistling kettle - I'm looking for one that whistles 'God save Australia' but no luck yet...

Right-on. It's so easy for folk like me (war baby!) to overlook what we
experienced as kids in the bosom of generations who had little to
make live comfortable or convenient and just got on to make do with
what they had/could afford - surely even more appreciative as a result when things looked up and their lives enjoyed the occasional
"luxury" (describing much that is taken for granted nowadays).
Austerity was known back then and its reality took the form of Ration books and skinny kids who went to school with darned socks!
