SUMMER BEDDING IS NOT AN OPTION

And yet in my hymn-poems, I may use \'spiritual\' or \'religious\' words of necessity, hopefully not with the aim of making it all complicated though. It may not always be the words themselves, but the ideas, concepts, symbols, metaphors, etc, that the Biblical language uses, that may be complicated at times. If I paraphrase it too much, it comes across as \'trashy\' I feel.

Yep, I understand this completely! Mind you, I\'ve just had a sherry or three! But know what you mean, e.g. you seen those waste management operatives this week = dustmen?

Clever fun write, I shall run it up the flagpole and see if it gathers speed.

I definitely smiled, but this mostly made me hungry. And I had a late dinner of breakfast foods.😋

A smile it, indeed, stretched across my face like a highway through the endless wilderness. In all seriousness, great satirical write. At the end of it, I was left pondering, \"What?\" Then I read your explanation and it did, indeed, bring a smile to my face. Enjoyed it much!

AND WAVES WILL ALWAYS ROLL

Love your poem Michael. I sometimes sit at the beach and just watch the waves. The mesmerizing and soothingly repetitive motion together with the vastness of the ocean usually makes me feel small and unimportant, yet contemplative of nature\'s beauty.

The mortality of man against the backdrop of nature\'s immortality ... a fine write and equally fine painting, Michael!

I\'m a little slow this morning. Read at first as a single poem it felt di-jointed ... looked in vain for a common thread. Then I took another swig of coffee and saw three neat shorties. Thanks for helping me wake up with a chuckle, Michael!

Thanks MICHAEL ~ Love the cartoon I am a sucker for \"PLAY on WORDS\" as in the first limerick ! For a mere £15 the LOO in my Flat is twinned with one in LETHOSO !

Well, I don\'t know Michael, it is 11:30 pm here on Wednesday, have no clue what time it is at your place, but know it is tomorrow. And by the way, I don\'t want a funeral feast, I want a party to celebrate my life. And you will be invited, something like twenty years from now!
