I commiserate with your rant. Now in the good old days, I mean really old, instructions were very comprehensive, and parts neatly marked. What have we come to? A frustrating experience for you, but a fun read for me, couldn\'t help chuckling.

I\'ve always had problems with these put together yourself items, the instructions are more misleading that helpful and sometimes the diagrams assume you have a forth dimensional view.

Horrible when the shower chair disassembled itself mid-shower! But a very useful device to prevent bathroom falls.

I dunno whether you have ever seen or heard of the beloved yet incessantly bemoaning Victor Meldrew, the male lead in the tv comedy series One Foot in the Grave .. but I reckon you are turning into him you old dog ... Anyway, on this occasion, you make some very valid points under the unfortunate circumstances you outline & I feel sure that I would share them .. However, having now got that off my chest, I just wanna point out that I thought this was extremely cool and the tone of it would make permafrost look tame :)

Ah - - Yes I relate to your rant my friend - - this read brought my first wry laugh of the day - I know the feeling dear Dave where hours of unwrapping and missing screws give \"fun\" a new meaning - -- no disjointed rhythm about this piece of witty outcry. Hoping your shower-chair has not yet let you down...............

Have you been reading my stuff again? You can recognize them by a couple of lines of crap. Oh wait a minute I let people make comments so I can comment back. Just more crap. Liked the piece though.

DD, I get my double dose at the Dunkin\' Donuts which does not have a doggy doormat. Sorry you became the victim of a news-napping, but I guess that\'s better than a dangerous dog attack. Your poem was a very descriptive depiction of a double dose dilemma.
Ok enough of that.
I enjoyed reading your poem this morning along with my morning joe. Nice start to my day, Thanks - Phil A.

Such a delightful story, and one that ended I presume very well. You lived to tell the tale. A number of years ago, on my morning walks, I would always encounter a nasty little beast ( why are the small dogs always the worst?) who would run after me and one morning bit my pants leg. The owner came running out yelling \"He won\'t bite\" to which I had to reply that he already did. I\'m glad your encounter was of the safe kind. Just watch out for the little ones.

This is a good and valid point. We or us are used without validation to prove that there is support for what one believes or states. It is used so often that it is hardly noticed and is accepted by those listening as valid. I think that the problem is with the listener not just the speaker. A poem that raises a good and overlooked point

MOst placid of dogs.
In my working days I knocked on a door one time and a loud bark came from inside, the owner opened the door and there in front of me was a black Alsatian with one light brown paw. He was a Labrador Alsatian cross.
He had the looks of the Alsatian and the temperament of the labrador.

\"We\" and \"Us\" become divisive when used to separate people. \"We\" are always correct when used this way and \"Us\" are always the victims. It is classic separatism.
A very thoughtful poem that makes one wonder, \"Do I do that/\" - Phil A.

I always find the collective \"they\" and \"we\" so nebulous. Certain groups seem to think that they speak for everyone in their opinions, and use those terms without any real validation. For me, the use of \"us\", signifies inclusion of everyone, no matter who, no matter what their views. A very thoughtful, and thought provoking write my friend.

I\'ve always felt \"we\" is utilized oftentimes by people who want to make their point more \"valid\" or \"inclusive\" but it really just ends up generalizing people and their opinions. I like the way you described us as \"herds,\" it\'s true on so many levels.

And - \'we\' may moan about the weather in the UK. But it is usually chillier than it has been the past few weeks. We\'ve had it mild for ages mostly. \'That\'s your lot now\' it seems.
It\'s soon to be \'normal\' or much colder temperatures in some areas of the UK soon.
Depends what sort of weather we like too.

And “us” will never be better than we by reason of inclusivity, whereas the former denotes exclusivity which ends up in everyone groaning in different keys.

Well rhymed, well timed. I approach politics like a crime scene with the first question being: who has a motive? Who has something to gain, a means of accomplishing it and no alibi. Then I tell myself, that\'s why nothing is being done.
