Smelly Socks

LOL this is another magnificent poem from you, yes in some places dark but only because my own father was a coal miner in Yorkshire when he was about 8/9 years old how times have changed my worst fear is the cell phone and the tablet and so on, children of today if left to their own devices can truly lose the will to even walk let alone run, or ride a bike I\'ve seen it. Yes your last lines bring a fabulous chuckle 🤭❤️

Smelly Socks
Bella Shepard said:
My friend, I grew up in an age when children were in fact children. We do seem to condition them these days to be productive workers and consumers. Children, whose parents plan their days and weekends from infancy, teachers who plan their evenings filled with homework, coaches who stress that winning is everything. Where is the freedom to just enjoy being a child? In doing they are deprived of one of the most important stages of growing up. And as they are trained, so they grow up to be, and teach their children. The industrious gears of life roll on. Would that those smelly socks came from a long day of playing, exploring and learning about life. I applaud your intuitive verse dear poet, so very well done!

What Do We Own?
Bella Shepard said:
You capture the conondrum of human existence in this eloquent poem, especially the second stanza. We are the maker\'s of our own destiny, for better or worse, not really knowing who we are. \"Brilliant\"!

Bella Shepard said:
When employees simply become tools of production instead of partners, and their worth is all about results, it is a sad commentary on our society. You have captured this so eloquently dear poet. Keep that strong voice, and keep us attuned. Love your tribute to Sinead. As always, a great write!

Pincer-Wincers (A Quick Town Shanty, about DIY Dentistry)
Bella Shepard said:
Ouch, my sympathy to all who must suffer so. I sang along to the tune of \"Gilligan\'s Island\", and fit nicely. Fortunately, here in the States, we are rewarded for being old with our Medicare System that provides dental care. I wish you better, hopefully pain free, days. Great poem, but I gotta say I winced all the way through.

I\'ve put furniture and storage in many an office
So have met many of whom you speak
Nicely tied in to the brothers Gibb
Enjoyed your notes as well

Such good words Ben and so very true, why cannot those \'powers that be\' realise what is going on, presumably if they do what is right there will be no money in it for them!

Dearest poet, your words hit hard and justly. You have expressed eloquently in this poem, and in your comments, the plight that has befallen us all. In my own USA, the principles our government was founded on have long since gone by the wayside, there is no will to work together and the clock is ticking on so many problems. The Republicans who have been staunch climate change deniers from day one, now talk about planting a trillion trees as an answer, but don\'t touch fossil fuels or reduce carbon emissions. Whatever we who vote can do, we will do, and hope that all reason and intelligence is not lost. Such a great write, you truly lit a fire here. An absolute fav!!!

No danger of it here in UK - though it\'s pleasantly warm and summery.
We want it hotter, then when it\'s hot we want it cooler, and so on. Doh!

Such true words Ben, art is being overtaken by wanting money by those who can only see profit and not the beauty that artists of all types can bring to us.

A great write my friend, and so very true. It seems the easy buck replaces everything these days. There are so many great writers e, wasting time and talent on what is sellable, instead of what is worth while. I think I\'d rather have nothing than tripe. I agree wholeheartedly, this is truly a fav.
