A chap in church did so much ritual and crossing-of-self, bowing, etc, that I thought \'You\'ll be worn out before the service even starts!\'

Somebody mentioned \"a full English\" and I got hungry and started thinking of food, which brought me to this irrelevant question, \"If you are blindfolded and do not know what country you are in but are told you are in a restaurant, would you order Bread. Sausages, Bacon, or Chocolate?
I think we all have such \"Rituals.\" They are all very personal habits built over the decades of life. Your poem reaches to the inner self of the reader. Thoroughly enjoyed by me. - Phil A.

Rituals are very powerful things, just try to change one and perhaps your whole day is off kilter. Love the poem, and I can thoroughly relate to rituals.

I\'ll try that full English breakfast with eggs, bacon and home fries, smells so good. 😊

Some rituals are enjoyable such as that breakfast that you have made me hungry for. Nevill the poem itself reads in a hypnotic manner as if a mantra or ritual very nice.

Death is its own gate-keeper. I\'ve seen healthy people leave at 37 and 47, and also the very sick cling to life until they were 98. Every day is one more experience. To be enjoyed to the fullest.
Live long and prosper.
Enjoyed your poem. - Phil A

Hope this is not a personal message. It carries with it a sense of tense anticipation of loss. Nicely worded though. Hope there are many more days ahead.

I\'m reminded of the last few years of my dad\'s life, where he knew he didn\'t have long to live. My mother had gone in 2008, all his friends were gone, and there he is knowing his time is coming. He was ready to go, but still God would not take him yet. I didn\'t want to lose him, but at the same time I had wished that I could grant him that one wish. Well penned N. 🌹

Another poem from The Making of a Broken Man which is still my current reading. An intriguing little write. How do you cure yourself of someone I ask? Maybe like a light switch, turning them off, obliterating all memory. Why would you do that unless there is a great deal of pain. Happy Friday dear Neville. Weekend’s nearly arrived.

This is becoming a habit, Neville.
This is me showing concern:
Are you on a \'Six months left\' schedule?
If not, then carry on remorseless.

At 80 I look forward to an unlimited number of years ahead, and why not,
I don\'t get to choose when, so why not look forward to forever.
Your poem highlights the different perspectives of the aged. It\'s purely a numbers game. You will live until you die. Make the most of it. - Phil A

I wonder what I will be next sometimes. Is that waiting or wanting? Odds are I\'ll be Chinese or Indian. There are so many more of them than White Dudes.

Reminds me of my mum who told me on several occasions she wanted to die. Distressing to hear that , knowing there is nothing you can do to ease her mind . Your poem raises many issues Neville. Much to consider and ponder here. No easy answer.

Indeed there is Neville. Those with a purpose and those without at any age. Short but full of meaning this poem reminds one to keep busy while waiting.

Talking legislation here: Right to die? Dying with dignity.
So for everyone reading/contributing – are you able to make the request?
In New South Wales we now have the very limited right.
Thanks for raising this issue Neville.

It was an interesting word she chose to use, interactable. And a very interesting exchanage which I presume ended by signing on the dotted line. All was well I hope.
