WHITE HAIR AND WALKING STICKS
Laura🌻 said:

Michael,
It sounds like a great afternoon!
I enjoyed your great poem!

The only one I’ve met up close and personal of the Beatles is Sir Paul at Madison Square Garden thanks to a mutual friend of ours! I do enjoy their music!
Beautiful daffodils! I like the color contrast!

Accidental Poet said:

Yes Michael, even the Rock & Rollers are all turning grey now. Some have even past on to a higher stage to perform for a higher audience. I saw Gordon Lightfoot last fall, and he\'s not the young sprout he used to be. But neither am I. Love the poem and photo.

Love the DAFFS ~ I\'m a THIRD Welsh (and 1/3 Scottish 1/3 Irish and 1/3 English !) The last Beatles Tribute Band I heard were all White Haired or BALD ~ But then Sir Paul is 75 and John & George are both partaking of Glory ! Great poem based on an actual event ! Pleases check \"Annie\'s Song for Angela ~ Thanks BRIAN

Oohh, grey and white hair makes one look distinguished I think. I\'m a little grey around the gills myself! Did they rave all night?! Or take Horlicks or cocoa and be in bed by 9pm?

THE OWNERS ARE REALLY TO BLAME
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

UNPOOPULAR MICHAEL ~ That is too kind a word ! If you were not one of my best Friends on MPS (I have a great respect for you !) I would riposte with a scourge on all DOGS ~ but I won\'t ! I can\'t have a CAT in a FLAT or even a CAT in a HAT. My Parents still have Cats and I visit often just to discuss Relativity etc now that Stephen Hawking has been called Home to Glory ! Dogs can be Domesticated (as you know) and Dogs in our extended Family are well behaved ~ and know their place ! Cats on the other hand are Mystical and Majestic and consider themselves to be well above Humans in the pecking order. They are too aloof and elegant to be domesticated and as for being constrained on a lead ~ it would unleash worldwide CATACLYSM ! They don\'t need us to feed Pus and the large colonies of Feral Cats in Athens and other Cities are a good example ! BUT they are very CrAfTy and in return for regular GOURMET WHISKERS etc they well allow you a stroke and will purrrrrrrrrr (not an aggressive BAAAAAARK) and will rub your leg in return ! Cats just do \"what comes naturally\" ~ just like Teenagers ! and we should LOVE THEM (Cats & Teens) for it ! I case my rest Yours BRIAN I am very tolerant today because (as you know) it is my DAY of ENGAGEMENT ~ Your Best friend on MPS ~ BRIAN ~ ANGELA sends her Love ~ her parents are CANINOPHILES ~ but I still love her even though I know she will want a DOG when we have Kids or (GOD forbid !) earlier !

I always thought cats clean up after themselves. I\'ve seen them digging holes to do their business, then covering it up again. Then they wash themselves. They can be independent though. You couldn\'t play \'fetch\' with Tiddles as you can play it with Fido!

So very true Michael, you get my vote. As a bird watcher for over sixty years I find that cats are arrogant monsters.
The statistics show that for every bird taken for food by a raptor four hundred get taken by cats to paly with!

Very sad situation for the LADY ! If I\'m at a Dance

orchidee said:

A fine write and pic M. Erm yes. Only one branch on it at the time - those two themselves?
Oh I won\'t get started on \'me, myself, and I\'. is that one person or three people? The family tree would be an awful jumble then!

FLAKES FALL
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

As snow flakes fall
Children bawl
Mother hit the wall
Old Folk fall
Teenagers have a BALL
As snow flakes fall !

Love the snowy abstract
and the Poetic Form
and the POEM

Thanks for sharing ~ BRIAN
