Once more with feeling….
Fay Slimm. said:

The key Dave methinks has to be Greed which is exposed so often in \"deep history\" - - inbuilt unfortunately whatever their faith folk are still given to fear.

I\'m not entirely sure the answer lies anywhere ... but I am entirely sure we need to continue looking for it ............... Neville

Chewing Gum Doggerel
Rozina said:

Enjoyed this. Chewing gum on pavements, under the desk in the classrooms less nowadays. Dog poo not so much now in the streets. I still look down as I walk to make sure I don\'t step in anything yucky.

Chewing Gum Doggerel
Fay Slimm. said:

Nothing altered here re. the doggie poo but have not noticed chewing gum stuck anywhere for ages now. Love the memory of Lonnie you gave us Dave - those were the days when silly was listened to - thanks for the lighter mood to counter these oh so depressing newscasts today.

Chewing Gum Doggerel
dusk arising said:

I remember this song from wee childhood days along with hang down yer head tom dooley from Lonnie.

A disgusting habit to discard chewing gum onto the pavement. I\'ve never experience that on my shoe but the ubiquitous doggy doo has accosted my footwear all too often. Worse when you take it into a car/van. My worst experience of that ilk was when i made an evening visit to do a survey for some work in a prospects home, on stepping throught the front door into their hallway i stepped into a pile of dog turds on the carpet.... the rest of the house was a shit hole as well.

Good words and memories Dave.

I was around when that song first came out in the late 1950s.

Paul Bell said:

Dictators dictate, and we now see what happens when they do. The west hope he\'ll disappear, as they usually do, but a country could be wiped out by then.

I can imagine the audience. What did they say, I mean moo? Good fun to read this.

Fay Slimm. said:

Love the rhyme and the pace of this trundle down memory lane - as I take it this is Dave - --- those were the days when under heaps of mud we listened to rock but could not move our feet - - great read dearling friend.......... keep that ink flowing.

dusk arising said:

Somehow I\'m reminded of the attention i got from some right cows in my history.

Nice story. I have a few stories to tell about those scaffold erected concert stages when a sudden change in weather made them death traps.

Neville said:

Help Dave! Politicians swill in their own vortex..... I wonder which evolutionary process in the chemical soup thought them up.....

Know Your Place – and Stay There!
Rozina said:

Politicians are the same the world over -exceptions are a few women leaders (of course!). Including politicians in power in my country; those in opposition behave similarly once in power.

Ah the fate of society within a capitalist state of mind. Vote?...so many deny they voted yet are voiceiferous about the state of things, largely the economy or that damned pandemic.
Bring back hanging... nay bring back transporatation to.... hang on their borders wont allow the unvaccinated.
Anyone for tennis?

Oh Summer – Tra La La
MendedFences27 said:

\"Oh Summer\" - How I miss her. Sub-zero temps, \"feets\" of snow, and high winds here. Welcome to Groundhog Day. Your whinging gave my soul some relief, a momentary sense of sweltering heat and humidity. Thanks for making my day just a little bit more sane. - Phil A.

That \'damp version of hell\' can be so very intolerable Dave, may the sun soon dry up your hell.

Rozina said:

I\'ll join you in whingeing (whinging?)! It\'s almost always hot, wet and humid in Penang, Malaysia. I sympathise as our temperatures are probably not as high.

Thanks Fay - all contributions gratefully received by this puddle of humanity unfortunately situated on the underside of Earth.

Oh Summer – Tra La La
Fay Slimm. said:

I love your whinges and this piece of rhymed sweating through extra heat describes more than perfectly how vexing that damping can be. A cooling breeze waft over the waves from Cornwall and me to your woeful brow dear suff\'rin\' Dave.
