Thankyou Do.RoThY. Yes, I am blessed with a creative mind. And thankyou for your comment which opened the gate for me to talk further on it.

They say there's a link between bipolar and creativity - Stephen Fry, Robin Williams, Virginia Woolf, Van Gogh etc. My 'problem', no, 'gift', is mania. I have to watch it carefully as it is a two-edged sword. Can create or destroy. I am grateful to WOL for allowing the positive creative side to be fostered.....

Are you scaring, or sun-blinded, drunk?
Are you looking intensely intellectual?
Or acting as just a big hunk? ?

I am not a dog person, however my background in science makes this very interesting. I remember reading about it a while ago and being fascinated.

I must say you have a very 'poetical' way of expressing things Jason which I have always admired......

You need to change the Westminster system and emulate the modified Australian version. Your mess would never occur here.

I'm your little traffic cone
By end of day I'm horny
I vibrate (sign I wanna go)
Gosh, this rhyme is corny


Actually, down here the Ministry of Roads, contract the Careful Cone Company (triple C) to lovingly tend our little orange cones, making sure correct male/female order of storage is maintained each night. They seem to self-procreate like rabbits. Must be our climate.....?

VG Mark. I don't think we've ever had such a motley crew. Boris on one side; Jezza on the other; the silly bitch from the LD's sticking two fingers up at 17.5m people. Basically it's a bloody mess.

Yes John I remember the Roundabout
The Roundabout at the fair
It was indeed a Magic one
I rode Skippy, when I was there

Did Dylan invent fairground roundabouts?.....

In fairness, Jason, It is a spacio-temporal concept. Don is certainly old enough to have been about at the time of The Magic Roundabout. But he lives on the other side of the world. Perhaps a reference to Skippy would have given him a better chance.

You sound more fortunate in your travels than yours truly. I see
cavalcades of cones but precious few human numbers - as if the former have landed from some unknown distant depot by hidden
means of transportation untouched by human hand. And they seem
to show no signs of wanting to return either!!!

Sure to appeal to any dog lover - and others besides! My family
had a Red Setter, followed consecutively by two Afghan Hounds.
And extended family now have their own assorted canine choices
to add to the richness of living - for that IS what dogs do!
Just a thought in passing on this theme - have you ever noticed how
folk can look like the dogs they own - and vice versa? Not unlike
the facial similarity noted that exists between married couples.

Thanks Jason, once again you picked up everything! Your interpretation is as always spot-on. I feel like I'm rather drained lately, so your words are very reassuring and a blessing! The marble eye came after editing, it evokes the same image to me too! Like a vast tear! As for the gothic temple, wow! However did you come up with that?! Thank you my friend! ?

I am an orange traffic cone
And Keith, a horny male
At end of day at pack-up time
I fight to on-top female

How else can we proliferate
You drivers knock us down
All the time reducing us
(Don't give a damn, just laugh...)..?

Aha, my mother has bred Pyrenean Mountain Dogs for the last 50 years, at one time she had the UK's top show dog and top stud dog in the breed. In fact that's how I learned to walk, I'd grab one as they walked past and they'd patiently let me drag myself up off the floor until I was standing and then toddle off on my own. I fell asleep on them so many times that the smell of Pyrenean fur still makes me sleepy. Few people understand the difference between a guard dog and a guardian dog. They were definitely my guardians and deep friends. And I can honestly say as someone brought up my whole life with dogs, I'm no expert, but one thing I can do is communicate with the pack. Beautiful dogs.
