OLD FAITHFUL
L. B. Mek said:

firstly and undeniably an intriguing read,
although I can definitely understand Dave\'s pointed comments,
but somewhere beneath the jarring disparity between your chosen metaphors and the actual message I assume you\'re trying to convey,
exists a wonderful write of brevity: highlighting the wisdom in recognising those lessons society\'s elderly have \'picked up\' surviving - life\'s jagged edges, while traversing time\'s epistemological rear-view mirrors..

Doggerel Dave said:

Not sure about this one at all, Joe.
Don\'t agree with the first two lines, especially the second:
Lines 3 and 4: Mop? dust? a more useless bloody metaphor I would find hard to find.
Apart from that, there\'s not a lot wrong with it..... :-)

a witty write with purpose, as a fellow dog lover I just nodded repeatedly at the end, as if my head movements could equate to an exclamation mark of agreement..
a fund read, thanks for sharing

Treat your dog well and it will do anything for you. Poetic Dan is a master of the dog psyche.

MARK OF THE DEVIUL
Doggerel Dave said:

Yes - the question mark has died for fear of the pile on which may well occur after it.
Good, short pungent point, Joe.

Quite true, I will ask Einstein when I meet him sometime in the distant future.

QUICK PICK
Doggerel Dave said:

Got something there ; I\'ll have to give it some thought...but not too much as I know from experience the result will be a blinding tension headache. Four lines is probably about right.
Thanks though.

OFF THE CLOCK

Being retired now I find that being unemployed leads to such a busy life.

Love it. It brought a smile to my face.

OFF THE CLOCK
Doggerel Dave said:

Great - short sharp and witty. And true.
A long period of unemployment set me up perfectly as an apprenticeship to retirement - great!

Regards,Dave
PS: I hope the money\'s OK?

OFF THE CLOCK
RDS said:

Haha that made me chuckle. During a period of unemployment a Liverpudlian poet I knew once told (scouse accented) \"it\'s great, we have more time than a king and more money than a tramp.\" Not as poetic as your take I might add! Thanks for sharing.

SLIGHT DELAY
Doggerel Dave said:

Now that\'s a piece of advice worth tucking away:-
Luckily I won\'t meet anyone new today.

The above is not a send-up; (it\'s just i can\'t help myself sometimes) I really will keep it for future reference. Regards, Dave

MASKING THE TRUTH
Doggerel Dave said:

Apologies – I wasn’t around when you did this one
And as a result I’ve probably messed with the system
So of course caused much consternation when all’s said and done;
But truth is they buggered the environment - Covid’s only the symptom.

\'Enjoy your stuff, Dave

Hi Joe,

A very good write.

Maybe Mother Nature is trying to teach us all something with the strange year that is 2020.

Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.
