Your poem accurately reflects the oft but almost always negatively tainted and heavily weighted prejudiced and ill informed assumptions made about people displaying signs of severe mental illness .. In reality, your authors note is spot on .. particularly the last sentence ..
I used to travel up and down the UK facilitating workshops that were specifically designed with the intention of trying to address this imbalance ..

Very powerful write Dave.
The problem with the news is that we always here the 1% bad side of events not the 99% good side - the good does not make the news.

The Toilet Seat
Accidental Poet said:
On the insistence by the ladies that we men always put the lid back down after use, and that not all men raise the lid to pee to begin with (disgusting), I thought maybe the ladies should be happy to see that the lid was raised. Never the less, ALWAYS wipe the seat.

I once went to a party where this sign was place in the toilet
\"We aim to please - will you aim too please!\"
Presumably aimed at gentlemen only!

Aargh! Black Bart!
\"Pieces of eight! Pieces of eight!\"
He was quite a character as many of his men were freed slaves who, when he was killed were taken back into slavery.

No Charlie I am not suggesting you need to ‘do some work on yourself’. That contraption looks particularly hazardous; you should take care that it doesn’t leave you hanging.

Doggerel Dave said:
And Jack the Lad (q.v.) has teamed up with a pair of criminal pranksters (read fraudsters, con men)…. This was his apprentice piece. Apparently they form a good team. However he is now silent. When or if he resurfaces and starts to talk again I’ll let you know….

Well it kept my interest for a long while and when it ended I said to myself this could be a book. Why not give it a go. A few more writes and you\'ll have a few chapters and then you can decide. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was different, readable, and interesting. The style was its own attraction. Keep this character alive and send him out exploring. - Phil A,
