My mum and her family drank like the fishermen they were, and swore like the troopers they were.
Nothing I am ashamed of.

Fantastic work. Love the story. I was reading an old dictionary one time, I came across the word, \"Jack in the green\" It was someone who stood in the bushes and looked in people\'s windows. I thought it was hysterical, so I started calling all my friends jack in the green. lol

What a textured environment you grew up in Neville, rich in verbal colour. All poetry should be seasoned in such a way. No poet could be too precious after that.

KP say such words in tantrums, when I don\'t give her more money for botox! lol.

With the sole exception of the tea choice, I cannot but feel myself in your position ( without the little \'un with whom to dispense absolutely valid advice).

Now Looking Back With Anticipation
Bella Shepard said:

This poem is so moving dear Nev. It speaks to me of our children, of the hope and anticipation we have for their future, and of the love and pride we feel as we watch them blossom, as we knew they would. A father\'s heart here, I think. Beautiful!!

Doh! All I see in me tea leaves is KP asking for more money for botox!
She will end up a ghostly trout-like apparition! heehee.

What a touching memory, and how sweet of you to procure the remedy. I hope it did the trick. Long ago memories, always there waiting to pop up. Love this poem!

It won\'t be the first time you \"whisper\" in that \"baby\'s ear.\" Grandad\'s can share many \"secrets\" with granddaughters, and it\'s all because of that \"smile.\" A beautifully gentle poem. - Phil A.

I\'m wearing that girdle of now and then. \"Then\" is telling me it fits perfectly, but now it\'s too tight.

I didn\'t peg you as an Angel, or someone divine, just a devilish poet, who writes sublime.

Shallow Cuts Too Deep
Dove said:

A cry for help, A cry for love, in modern times even a text can be missed. The world is full of pain, undoubtedly she needed a hug & kiss..

But, did you keep the tooth as a keepsake of that departed lover? Imagine if you will, running into her today and presenting it to her. 🙂

KP wanted to swill and swallow some gin, but I gave her some pig\'s swill! lol.
I\'m a beastly guinea pig sometimes. She will use me for part of her real fur coat.
