Dave, ouch. There’s something especially ugly about watching love and obligation get twisted into dispossession. This stayed with me. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️

Good write, Dave, but i got a sense of my own guilt from it. She was there because she needed constant care. Sure, made me feel bad. - Phil A

Such a lovely boy when he was born.
Now look at him, an entrepreneur.
Well, that\'s what he calls himself.
Sure he\'ll visit her now and again.

This is a sad reflection of narcissism and greed in modern day society. Was it technology, our parenting, societal changes, or what that resulted in this. It seems only the tip of the ice berg where people care less about others, feel entitled themselves, are socially isolated and comply with social expectations of clinically sterile world with age treated as a disease. Nicely done Dave

Hello, Dave,
The question therein, it\'s plain to see - why he always spells kark with a \'c\'? Baffling and yet madly entertaining. Hats off and very well done.
All the best,
Tony.

Ha! Dave, this gave me a grin. Between the hat, the coffin nail, and the threat of mutual mortality, I’d say you covered a surprising amount of ground in four lines. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

I\'m too slow Dave although I have read them all you got me on this one. Whack a mole for the bat, lots of reference to afterlife for a coffin nail

Amendment Twenty Five
Thomas W Case said:
There’s a dry little political joke here, using “hot” and “kick the can” to turn a complicated constitutional subject into something almost casually pub-room conversational. The final line is the keeper for me because “just managing to kick the can” captures that familiar sense of an institution postponing the hard question rather than actually resolving it.

Count yourself lucky if the product you buy online meets the specs they guarantee- or settle down for time consuming correspondence with indifferent sellers who lose interest once the product leaves their store- hope you got your issue fixed 🤔

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..

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
