Not a hideous \'team building\' session?!
Now - in some work programmes - how does one literally \'multi-task\'? Do one thing with left hand while doing something else with right hand? Doh!

Oranges

I hope you don\'t do that too often, Gary. Gives me a headache.🙂
\"Angelus\" was easy - discovered it a prayer, so that covered the Spiritual.
But \'eye rhymes\' was new, and that lead me, via \"The Great Vowel Shift\", down one of the far too many virtual rabbit holes - a wearying but compulsive process....think I need a nap, now...

Good write Gary. Yes, a bit obscure.
Time to get the washing machine, or washboard, out?!

Neat piece, Gary, but the meaning is obscure: When I get the shits (real or metaphorical) no one comes running towards me - quite the opposite....

Our Dilemma (Villanelle)
orchidee said:
It\'s the human race, isn\'t it? I don\'t think it\'s \'bad old days\' nor \'good old days\'. Nor present \'bad days\' nor \'good days\'.
Sorry about that tongue twister there - if you follow. But we can\'t improve on humanity by ourselves alone. I feel we need a God - some say \'it\' or \'god\' or \'a higher power\'.
If I think too much this time of the morning I will get headache! lol.

Argghh! The fatal moments when we consult \'Dr Google\' and imagine we have caught every malady under the sun! Sort of relating to your Verse 1.
Yes - as you say - preaching Christ a person, not preaching \'things\' cliques, \'give us your dough\' (money), etc!

Thorny Weed
orchidee said:
I\'m the rose between two thorn bushes. Or am I the thorn bush between two roses?
Though they have thorns too!
It could mean an individual rose and thorn, not bushes.
I\'m becoming a confused laddie here. lol.

Are you blaming Christ for the fact that the garden is now completely overrun by thorny weeds, Gary?
I enjoyed this having ignored any metaphorical sense.

Prayers can do miracles,
It can overcome obstacles,
It can eliminate debacles,
As, for us, God tackles,
God\'s heart, prayer tickles!

I\'m reading of the entanglements of the Reformation. That somewhat long word - transub-wotsit. You know it!
I don\'t insist on a denomination label for myself, but Protestants don\'t along with it, you will know.
Not that this poem is about trans..... I will shut up now! lol.

It’s ALL in a NAME

I be saying it\'s a good write, that I am [saying], though I sound like a UK West Country farmer, if I could communicate the accent! lol.
Or even bringing in an Irish phrase: A good write, so it is.

Late response, Gary – I almost missed you.
But glad I didn’t overlook your neat little piece, which beyond its structure and flow contains some sound advice.
I feel (and please contradict me if this is not your perception) that while you and I have had some respectful differences of opinion in the past. neither of us have wished to let them drag on interminably.
And as usual, I must thank you for your references – in this instance Alex J O’Connor, whom I shall investigate further as he has easy access. However, in the case of Mr. Trent Horn, apparently engagement here requires a monetary subscription………...
