I encounter these zombies every day. I alter my line of travel slightly but at about an 80% success rate do manage to bump the shoulder without pause.
I really cannot understand why idiots wish to cut themselves off from the rest of the street. In some of the streets I\'ve travelled in a long life, 360 degree awareness was hardly enough.....
New breed of human evolves with different means of communication in person to person interaction?
Timely write, Tom.

lol oh dear a sign of the ugly cell phone invasion era . I am only in my late 40\'s however I truly dislike what they have done in society and even worse what my generation is letting their own children become. Good to know these type things don\'t just happen to me 😂

I would have done the same thing. I too see people glued to their phones while doing something else. Yes, maybe they\'re multitasking, but surfing the internet media can always wait till later. I even see people on their phones while driving the car. Like safety is of no concern? I once saw a bumper sticker that read, \"Put the cell phone DOWN and DRIVE the car! Great write Tom. 👍

The ending of your poem lifted me. I am baffled by the army of people with their heads buried in their phones as they go about their business. All that treasure around them and they miss it. A topical write. Have a lovely day.

So Tom, I know this will take some hard decision making, but stop fishing for an excuse for that second dram on behalf of John Cooper Clarke. Go for it! And while you are there why not a third for introducing me (an ignoramus) to JCC? Well done, Sir!

Why yes, you an aspiring poet too! :)
But not like Burns\' phrase of being mouse-like in poetry, as a \'wee timorous beastie!\' But mice can be quite feisty I find.
That\'s about the only line of Burns I know. lol.

Stop moaning.🙂 Went to Uni age 36 and 46. A struggle - I\'m sure it is possibly even more of a struggle today. However to quote an ancient adage: \" Where there a will there\'s......
BUT (as per correspondence from several sources above) unless that piece of paper is necessary for an occupation, there are many other sources. Once upon a time \"autodidact\" was a badge of honour.

I do not have a university degree either, though I have attended many short courses on campus. I also worked for a university for 16 years. Loved the students, didn’t particularly want to be one though. Nothing wrong with life long learning Tom. I’ve joined that club too. Never too late to go to uni. Enjoyed your poem. You don’t need a degree to write poetry:) Have a great day.

We all have regrets Tom. I didn\'t got to college either, at the time I felt that I\'d had enough of school. I just wanted to work. 🙄

No need to berate yourself, as we can learn at any age. There\'s adult learning courses, classes, self-studying, etc. :)

LOL I do absolutely love your originality, I am thinking he would look at you strangely and then smile with his heart aglow, and then once he sees how many people have read your poem he may well have just another sip of whiskey and in a gentleman fashion cry with pride behind his smile. Although I could be wrong please do tell. Lol 🤗
