Care.
Doggerel Dave said:
I have a cousin and family in Devon who do precisely that, Chris, and the patience time and energy they put into those kids, the behaviours they contend with fills me with admiration. Three years later I would find totally different human beings to those encountered on my previous visit. No kudos big enough for that.

Nicely set up throughout the poem the last sentence nails it. It is a coffin lid coming down and being nailed by that last line. Powerful

OO7 - Me?

Read all the original Fleming Bond novels by the time I was fourteen they are the source of many a Walter Mitty. You through in a good many of the images from the novels into this poem. It is a fun read for any Bond fan. Well done

Recognition. Not an awful lot of fun is it?
I think I\'m ready, but will grab what\'s left of life as it passes when I can.
Take care, Chris.

Well, you\'re certainly downright hilarious in rendering your decayed state of being. Yes, the crass reality is distasteful, but the subtle humour overrides that effectively, I guess, or else since we\'re peers more or less, I am amused. Excellently rendered with suggestive imagery and a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Biscuit Jar
Doggerel Dave said:
That\'s a reversal. Reality perhaps decrees that if you want to leave your door open to all comers, then a move to the country might be more strategic, Chris.
Couldn\'t you find a better excuse than Parkinson\'s for keeping your hand in the biscuit jar???.....
....and before someone here rears up and demands my exclusion from this site forever, it\'s called Black Humour...not you, Chris, I know you\'d get it!....you did it anyway..

Very good inspiring words Chris.
I make biscuits and put them in a biscuit jar but unfortunately every time I pass the jar I need to try one to see if they still taste OK. LOL

A poem that speaks venom from being stepped on. Clearly worded it speaks of a relationship that does not match with different values and expectations. Nicely worded.

Clever and the set up was perfect with me knowing that it was coming but not knowing what, when, or how and as the last line revealed itself all became clear and also so true. The present was unwrapped. A wonderful poem and a fave

A enjoyable write over the insecurities especially when men are buying for a woman that we have, then linked nicely to the fact we do the same for love, enjoyed the read
