dk in a driverless ?
Dearie dearie me
He still will need instructions
Where it's battery be
I've heard dk you buy them
From same instructions shop
Make sure they match your model
Or driverless stay stop
I'm full of great suggestions
(But Thalia thinks I'm nuts)
I'll have you still know dk that
I'm true, no ifs or buts
I don't like driverlesses Ruth. They mow down Skippys...?

Check the kitchen for sharp implements and hide them. When she gives you a coffee insist she tries it first and refuse to wear ties or scarves. Then you should be ok for the time being.

I love the romantic slant to the playing cards theme here, too many jokers, 2 of hearts and the winning hand at the end. Also 'September's signature, autographing my bare arm' was a line really enjoyed.

A headmaster once said to me."To discipline a school you must practice the three F s".I was beginning to wonder what he was going to say."Be firm ,be fair,be friendly,in that order.I said, "Lets make it four and add another f to your three, be funny."

"This might be you last car"
Sounds bit ominous
Maybe you'd worry not so much
By riding in bus...?.

A nice seedy gentility in this that breaks into a smile. I once had a brief affair with a prostitute who suggested I ply my trade in the escort sector. Not possible without a huge bank loan to get myself in shape!
The poem is the perfect length , if you'll excuse the expression.

I heard the garbage truck (vaguely)
Or was it in my dream?
A kick from partner, wake up Don
Put bin out, quick, full steam
Shit! yes, the bin it overflows
I race out naked-like
No shoes, no jarms, no, nothing else
Truck's gone, no-where in sight......
No-one around....
Just my luck....?

I had this very discussion today, no bombs though.
But where DO we go from here? IS there a 'happy place' between?
Technology is a wonderful thing, but there is always a price to pay somewhere. Fossil fuels are indeed killing the Earth, but look at a lithium mine! Electric cars are no better because of the batteries. And as far as bombs...the military are probably the biggest polluters there are!
I'll keep planting trees.

Thank you Martin for your kind words much appreciated. I too do wish, that one day I will write longer poem. Hopefully as good as you. Don, I too like haiku as well as senryu and tanka I think they make you slow down and take a different view on everyday happenings that we would otherwise take for granted. Thank you Keith and Avishek for the likes

My sincere thanks to you Kevin. Thank YOU so much for noticing. I tried to use this little scene to convey a whole mood. Not very successfully I fear. Conveyed best, I think, by a deeply unfashionable (because deeply un-pc) yet quite brilliant poet, Philip Larkin, a man with vices as well as virtues, now isn't that a surprise?
Never such innocence,
Never before or since,
Has changed itself to past
Without a word--the men
Leaving the gardens tidy,
The thousands of marriages
Lasting a little while longer:
Never such innocence again.
My grandfather served for four years on the western front as a machine gunner in the Cheshire Regiment, long since 'cut' by one or other of our oh-so 'patriotic' governments.
His name was Jack, a silent breed of a man, I loved him dearly. John

This is great. A good reminder to all of us that sometime the most important reason why we create art is not for profit or for others, but for ourselves.

thanks Adam W for the like, and Keith for the like and generous comment. Hope the sigh wasn't a sad one?! thanks Don for the comment - I thought someone would start complaining that watercolour isn't a verb!!! Glad you liked it Ray. It isn't really intentional that there are no people, although the ones that were there on the beach were mostly 'spoilt' - overweight women in totally inadequate bikinis and paunches for the men. I confess to not being slim, but at least I am altruistic enough to refuse to wear a bikini now!!!!!! There appears to be a dearth of mirrors in most houses.
Thanks again, Jennifer

Provocative stuff - and surely intentionally so. But all art has its
basic rules - and writing is surely included.
Far be it from me to be contrary
But a favourite friend is my dictionary,
And the editor of my thumbed Thesaurus
Never had the intent to annoy or bore us.
To misspell words and misuse grammar
Should send a writer to the "slammer". (American slang for prison) ?
