Very nice poem social interaction is like a meeting of people who know exactly what to say to be bothersome or noisy. Keep up the writing

Michael,
Not...
āA Lonerā...
Just bored out of your mind!
Depending on the occasion, some social gatherings are exactly how youāve described them...especially for my husband. Heāll avoid them whenever he can; except if itās a golf social gathering.
Enjoy your afternoon.

Two boys go fishing, one of them has a lot of worms \"How did you get so many worms?\" the other asks.
\"I get my younger brother to get them for me and let him eat every tenth one he digs up\"

A fine write M.
A shorter one. Victor Hugo, I think it was, once wrote a letter consisting of: \"!\".
The reply was equally short: \"?\".
That could teach us not to waffle.
You entertaining Miss Berles?

Several meanings come to mind. My chosen interpretation is of the \'emptyheadedness\' following the frustration which built up within until one finallyspoke/wrote the thoughts harboured for too long.
A clear/empty head having got it off one\'s chest.

Read all the comments here (lest i say the wrong thing) and by and large agree. PC has become a joke but.... like a lot of things, they start off being over-stated before they level off into common sense useage. Older folk among us will recall how it used to be difficult to use the word \'black\' in UK for a period, even when referring to coffee or birds (feathered) or blackboards etc. The silly period passed and common sense prevails.... lessons were learned though, it wasn\'t a waste of time.
Language is a fluid thing which changes readily.... as kids we used to use \'fabulous\' or \'fab\' to describe something as good. That\'s progressed through such interesting periods where \'wicked\' and \'bad\' were its replacements.
All in all, language is communication and i would sooner communicate than fight due to non communication. Sadly though, here in the west, we know that certain ears do not want to hear.
Your piece today is not only beautifully penned but extremely provocative. Well done sir!

THANKS MICHAEL ~ From the ABSURD to the ABSTRACT and all on a TUESDAY ! Because my mind set is MAORI your abstract again looks like an arial view of the Bay of Islands (NZ) and they did have (like OZ) some heath fires earlier in the year ! I (being a Scouser) always speak my mind and have oft been castigated for it and (once or twice) even regretted it ! Love all your Poetry ~ Yours BRIAN

Free speech is slowly (or rapidly) becoming a thing of the past. We need to be able to say what we mean without wrapping it in so much dross that nobody understands it.

Thanks MICHAEL ~ As a Conservationist I am very protective of EARTHWORMS ~ like People who work UNDERGROUND (Miners & Tube Train Workers) we dont always appreciate them. I teach Environmental Sciend to Nursery Nurses and we build wormeries in perspex boxes so the can observe them at work. Some of them have never handled a WORM. We teach then how to teach the Preschool Children to have respect for all ANIMALS & Insects. They are all integral parts of the ECOLOGICAL CYCLE. Urban Man has opted out of the Natural Cycles so INSECTS are regarded as a NUISANCE ! Thanks for sharing ~ YOURS form AUCKLAND ~ BRIAN.
