Clever write Michael, but didn\'t we have that conversion in a years time where we talked about all our nows in the future and all our whens with Orchi in the present or maybe back in the days of 2043.

\"Today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday\"

Did our discussion lead you (or both of us) up the garden path? And why would it lead us up a garden, of all things?! It was good to have that chat with you tomorrow (eh?).

TIME
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

In some ways UNCLE MIKE we take time & the passage of time for granted. Because the Earth rotates round the SUN in 24 hours. We call that a DAY and divide it into 24 hours (and minutes & seconds etc) and we carry devices to keep track of time. There are also natural markers which Man used before Clocks were invented. Sunrise ~ Sunset and Day (bright) & Night (dark). So Man developed a routine Wake up ~ Work for eight hours ~ Leisure for eight hours ~ Sleep for eight hours and so on ad finitum. This is the pattern I have grown used to over the past 18 years ~ it seems kinda natural & human ! Are all Solar Planets the same ? No ! A day on Mercury is 60 Earthdays and a day on Venus is 210 Earthdays ~ so three days in Prison on Venus would be a whole Earth Year. MARS (which BUZZ ALDRIN has chosen as an Earth Overspill) has a 25 hour day ~ BUT No liquid water ~ Oxygen ~ Fertile Soil and its too cold etc ~ A NON-STARTER ! The four outer planets have shorter days the Earth (in hours) J (10) S (11) U (17) N (16) This would cause headaches for the Unions if ever we colonised them ! So we come back to the BIG QUESTION which Science cannot answer ! Why is the EARTH the only Habitable planet we have found in the Milky Way so far. Why is a 24 hour day so suitable for H Sapiens ~ Why is our Climate (average temperature 16C and rising !) Atmosphere just right 1 part O2 to 4 parts N2 (inert carrier gas) Abundant liquid water which cycles & purifies itself ~ free Energy from the Sun and a symbiotic Flora & Fauna etc etc ! Did it all happen by chance OR is there a CREATOR ? When we talk about time ~ We open Pandora Box ! Stephen Hawkins is reputed to have once said \"Evangelical Christians\" know were all the Matter in the Universe came from and why there is Design Beauty Purpose & Order on Planet Earth ~ GOD CREATED IT & CONTROLS IT ~ Science has no explanation ! Thanks for raising the question of TIME ~ Yours as always BRIAN Love the CHEE CHEE GOOSE !

At last, praise comes home! My great great great grandpa invented time, or was it his dad?... Anyway appreciation at last.

It took its time.

TIME
orchidee said:

A fine write and pic Michael. Now, I\'m all in a muddle. When is \'now\'? One second later and that \'now\' has gone, and it\'s a new \'now\'. that\'s a lot of \'nows\' - every second of the day. Will there be enough nows to go round?
You spending the extra hour tonight visiting all the Berles at home?

Woof, woof! Fido and I say Hi, and how\'s the evening going?!
Hmm yes, How do we get out if there\'s a fire? Why keep the fire exits clear if the door is kept closed?
Oh well, let\'s do what a manageress did - ignore fire practices and burn up if there really was a fire - daft as a brush!

THANKS UNCLE MIKE ~ Notices can be confusing ! My DAD said there were notices saying ~

BILL STICKERS WILL BE PROSICUTED

His friend Bill Stickers complained to the POLICE and they replaced BS with BILL POSTERS a week later they had another complaint from MRS POSTERS ........... !

One which worked to advantage was
NOSMO KING who got free publicity in every Railway Carriage
Those were the DAYS ! I was on the ISLE of MAN Railway recently and every carriage had a NOSMO KING Message !

Love the ELEFUMP you dont see those in NEW ZEALAND

Blessings & Love BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

orchidee said:

Phew! What with \'ing\'s\' and \'Antonys\' (what about Antony?) I\'m in a twirl.
The explanation helps us to see how involved this poem is. I doubt I could do a hymn-poem like this!
A great write Michael. I\'m off to find Antony Berles or Berling now.

A fine write Michael. Has Miss Berles tried clowning, or any of her relatives, whose names I may not have heard of yet?

You are so right my UK size is a 10 but occasionally with some shoes I need an 11 - very strange.

FOR SHE WOULD BE NO ODALISQUE
dusk arising said:

Beautifully crafted poetry ME. So often we see a lengthy piece of writing from young ladies in MPS who will be no odalisque. But whilst they feel the pain, they lack your poetic ability.
