The Poet\'s Birthdate
Doggerel Dave said:

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!

John Cooper Clarke, I do not know but I’ll raise my glass to Robbie Burns who is definitely worth celebrating. 🍷

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.

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 🤗

When you experience such a moment, no matter where, it is a gift. You describe the scene so beautifully that I can imagine all else around you fading into the background. Truly a lovely write!
