A fine write SC.
Erm, I saw one once on a country road. I took it to a nearby pub. Most embarrassing, as it was smelling by then, and I asked if they could bury it. They looked at me as if to say \'Doh! Why you bring that thing here?\'

Great one dear poet
People may acclaim that we are rebel in our own way
Disrespecting their advice
But isn’t it high time
Peace
For once let us speak

Great stuff, Sax.
The adjustments and compromises parents have to make as offspring mature, I’m sure is very difficult. (I have only observed this process between my parents and I; Never been a parent myself).
Whatever the difficulty, the move to individuate must be undertaken if survival as a free autonomous human being is to be achieved.
(Aah – too heavy – go for dusk’s lighter version).

Fathers deserve to win a lot more than theyre given credit for. Are you a father? Doesn\'t really matter if you are or not but should you become one then sooner or later you\'ll agree.

Good entertaing stuff.

Well you are getting older yourself and I did not want to see you cry again at your age, I am ok with that as I am an old age perisher.

Daddy.

Intriguing… usually saying yes is such a positive word and yet in your poem it led to some kind of downfall. Very deep and leads the reader to wonder what the question was. Love it .

Oh the best and so much fun. I once was in Dublin when I was 17 and my sister and I were oogling the boys from a bus - they were gorgeous - but one of the older women on the bus laughed and said \"Oh Irish boys are loovely and they make wonderful loovers but tarrible hoosbands\"........

That wasn\'t the guy who rang a \'naughty phone line\' and said \'Will you stop telling me the time when I ring you for naughty chat\', was it?! lol.

Your mate Barry - he\'s the Irishman? OK - that\'a a relief....otherwise we could be on tricky ground, despite the entertainment your piece provides...
