Paul, this cracked me up…the chaos, the characters, the absurdity piling on line by line. It’s dark, funny, and so perfectly off-kilter. And of course…the dog steals the whole show. Well done, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Was it the highlight of the week in the village of Dull? Which funeral to go to? The person or the dog?!

A wonderful piece that in a way is a satire of the blackness in which we cast death. Humor the best of remedies for sadness and grief is spread thick here. Confusion reigns and out of confusion we celebrate. Actually I grieve more for the life of a faithful dog than for many men. Loved it Paul

Well said . Yet sad. Your poem serves to reflect on the nature of grief, community, and the absurdity of life, using humor to explore the emotional responses to death in a light-hearted manner. It reminds readers that loss, even of a pet, can bring people together and reveal the complexities of human relationships.

The poem serves to explore the absurdity and complexity of modern existence, highlighting the disconnect between human aspirations and the often harsh realities dictated by technology and societal expectations. It questions the reliability of both technology and financial systems, ultimately suggesting a sense of disillusionment with progress.

My friend… the moment I saw that title, I heard that Manson lyric of his new album about crossing one\'s name off the devil’s to-do list...burning every page in that little black book. This poem carries that same gritty introspection… the kind that sits with you. Beautiful work. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Paul, you balance humor, heartbreak, and resignation in one clean sweep… a breakup wrapped in smoke and silver. It lingers. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

This poem serves as a cathartic exploration of love and loss, allowing the speaker to articulate feelings of longing and the complexities of moving on after a significant emotional connection. The reference to smoking and drinking suggests coping mechanisms for dealing with grief and nostalgia.

Horrid at all times! Smoking I mean, not the poem! lol. Glad it\'s been banned from buses, shops, etc. I used to hate it when people could smoke upstairs on buses.
I never knew that you knew me. Note to self: Nooooo, he don\'t mean you! lol.

Intended or not I read between the lines here. The things in life that are not good for us that we choose as little pleasures, cigarettes, alcohol and love. All a threat to life and one\'s well being. What is life worth without the pleasures of it. A fave

Paul, this is pure unhinged brilliance…a whole sitcom squeezed into a poetic sketch. The banter snaps, the timing kills, and the characters feel alive in all their chaotic glory. Loved this. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Quite a tale of a tail. Someone I knew died that way a shemale with a tail died while having sex on cocaine. Friend of one of my kids but they weren\'t involved in the episode. It\'s a long tale not tail but it got cut short. Fun read

Yes, now we know the true details of that nursery rhyme! lol. And if they bound Jack\'s injured head, that vinegar and brown paper must have stung! Like salt to an open wound. Ouch!
That Grand Old Duke of York dunno if he\'s coming or going either, and his men are getting fed up going up and down that hill too. lol.
