There’s a playful absurdity here, turning the mundane irritation of an online purchase and endless follow-up emails into a little comic machine of rhymes and repetition. “Product info polishes my inbox bare” is the keeper for me, because that boot-polish joke suddenly gives the whole thing a wonderfully ridiculous shine.

Lucky you weren\'t this guy.
The first letter was quite courteous
The payment was probably just an oversight
The second letter was slightly more direct
The third letter had overtones
The fourth letter was red
The fifth letter spoke of court action
The sixth letter gave a court date
They didn’t send a seventh letter
The Police kicked down the door
Luckily, you were dead..

Dave, you turned a simple purchase into a lifelong correspondence nobody requested...light, sharp, and wonderfully relatable. The modern marketplace captured perfectly! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write D. Yes, I order boot polish online, so they can kiss Sir Orchi NS\'s boots, all shiny. He\'s become too big for his boots now, and he don\'t mean the shoe size! lol. Let\'s not wake him up - it will only start him off, like waking up a sleeping dog - Fido.

A one I can identify with my friend. Gave a virus protection company a credit card number and when I tried to cancel they informed me I had to send in a request for cancelation. Did it no result, sent written request, no result, card company said they couldn\'t put a block on it. Had to cancel the card to stop it and they still have the balls to send me e-mail adds and threats. Nicely done Dave

This is th comment I put on Arqios\'s words.
I think that every body remembers what they were doing that day Rik. I worked in computing in an open plan office normally the telephones were going very frequently, that afternoon there was not one telephone call!

A righteous war is one where you leave your country, blast the hell out of another country, and go home to a fanfare.
What isn\'t righteous, is someone coming back and blasting you to bits, just not cricket.
The great thing now, You don\'t need to mobilise, you just need long range drones.
Anyone who saw the robot olympics in China, especially from a military point of view, would realise that is the future armies.

American by birth I hear you Dave there is a warm bed for cynicism on a cold day. Righteous is like beauty in the eye of the beholder. Set by myopic views of past injustice and who\'s God is bigger than another\'s. A poem with the beauty of clean rhymed skin under which lies the cancer of its powerful meaning. So much strength in so few words. A fave my friend.

*cough, cough* I discovered flirting way, way back and thought it was too fun. Nice to know you\'re \"harmless\" and a \"coot\" by now. Thank you for sharing.

There’s a damn wonderfully self-aware absurdity here, mocking the whole “writing is hard” complaint by deliberately making everything sound ridiculously easy, shallow, and disposable. The closing “a seven… / Now a five – I’m done” is the killer, because it turns the poem itself into a quick little numbers game while quietly taking a shot at formulaic poetry and the pressure to produce something on demand.

What a charming little confession, Dave. You turn aging, flirting, and self-awareness into something funny without taking yourself too seriously...and that makes it work. Great job, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

An Octogenarian has eight tentacles, that\'s touchy feely on an industrial scale.
Paying a compliment to a woman. Just check to see if that\'s an arrestable offence these days. Okay, seemingly it is if you don\'t ask for permission.
No compliments, you can\'t wolf whistle, and the guy on the train who was trying to upskirt the woman wearing trousers, get yourself to an optician quick pal.

There’s a self-aware charm here, especially in the shift from “dirty old man” to “harmless old coot,” which gives the speaker a funny sense of aging without pretending the flirtation has disappeared. The unfinished “And once in a while…” is actually intriguing—it leaves the reader hanging just long enough to wonder what this old coot might still get up to. Brilliant.
