Freedom of Expression.
Tristan Robert Lange said:
💯 Totally for freedom of speech. People seem to only like it when they like the speech...but that\'s the point of free speech, it can be said without approval. There are natural consequences to saying things one shouldn\'t, so let those do the work. No need to ban speech. Well done on this, my friend! A great poem to resume \"normal services\" with. Love it! 🌹👏

Yes and yes and yes and yes and yes and yes - is that six? (should equal the number of stanzas in your poem, with which I heartily agree.)
Freedom of expression is self evidently the way to go.
I\'m just left wondering if there were some specific action/legislation in the UK recently which stirred you into this declaration?

Some restriction on speech such as that that would cause irrevocable harm to another (shouting fire in a crowded area, deliberate slander of another, false advertising) have already been restricted but anything further is questionable, I believe in politeness and curtesy but restrictions on political correctness should be left up to public response. I am for freedom of speech

Lots of wisdom here. Like the one about pulling the plug. Sometimes, we just have to realize our situations and respond.

Fun With Jack.

Organisation is the key when moving. One hopes Jack was organised enough to pack his best companion and the puncture kit in the same bin.

Fun With Jack.
arqios said:
Your fun poem lands with a mix of tongue-in-cheek irreverence and domestic chaos, all wrapped in a dry, mischievous humour. Jack’s antics feel like something out of a cheeky sitcom; absurd yet oddly relatable in that “just trying to cope” kind of way. It’s equal parts bizarre and brilliant, like a backyard farce with a wink to the audience.

Children Had Fun.
Mottakeenur Rehman said:
This poem beautifully captures the bittersweet chaos of a family outing—where mishaps and frustrations pile up, yet the children’s joy shines through it all. Percy and Joan’s sacrifices and quiet exasperation feel so real, making their love for Paul and Jill all the more touching. The humor in the absurdity (seagull theft, graffiti explanations, and the infamous ‘bare arses’ scene!) balances the underlying tenderness. A reminder that even imperfect days become cherished memories when seen through the eyes of happy children. Lovely work, Tobani—relatable, funny, and full of heart!

You DID make me shake with silent laughter, and this latest pretty number was indeed lengthy, minorly akin to our old American poets such as Longfellow, but it was worth the reading. Delightfully rendered with excellent imagery and a humorous, haunting poignancy. Thank you very much for sharing.
