Four year olds should run the world!
ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks ANDREW : In our Experience are ALL FOURS are Fabulous ! WE help in the Summer Holiday Club @ Our Church and becaus we deal with TEENS & OLDER in our Day Jobs we like to work with the PRE-SCHOOLERS 3s & 4s They are fabulous and have an answer for everything ! The have great Faith : never doubt the existance of GOD and they PRAY real NICE and love the QUEEN and all the Royal Children. They would vote for REASON & PEACE : AMEN. Some of extended Families work in Primary School and love the ingenuousness of the RECEPTION CLASS : best job in the WORLD : The Kids have no Hang-Ups : no Inhibitions and NO Prejudices : AMEN *A Little Child shall Lead Them* Any FOUR YEAR OLD would be better than BOJO as PM !

B lessings & Joy
YOURS as ever ANGELA & BRIAN

A sad poem as so many people do not listen, they may hear but they will never understand, the one at I can always do is listen. I have helped so many sort themselves out just by listening.

Thanks for Sharing and Caring Andrew ~ A very deep & meaningful Poem & Subject. Because of our Day Jobs (Physio and FE / HE Lecturer) and Church Work ANGELA & I are Qualified Councellors. Some of Her Clients and My Sudents are damaged People and need a lot of TLC and Understanding to restore them Physically Socially & Mentally. Accidents (Angelas field) can be very traumatic and my Work with Access Students (Adult Returners) requires a lot of ~ Listening ~ Patience ~ Experience & Understanding. Angela & I thank GOD we are wise enough (A Gift of the Holy Spirit) and qualified & experienced enough and Spiritual enough to be PARACLETES ~ Ones who are called alongside to help ~ AMEN.

Blessings & Peace in ALL YOU DO
Your Friends ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

A fine write Andrew. The listening can be the thing - \'being there\'. You did something good!
If it wasn\'t so serious a theme - Meanwhile - you done any work in harm reduction to stop me singing? That\'s terribly harmful - to anyone! (lol).

having worked within the diverse field of mental health I was very much involved in harm reduction .. I always found that members of the general public often struggled to understand the positive risk taking that this almost always involved.... Good on ya Andrew.... Neville

Andrew - no need at all to be sorry for this well-written lament on the absence of Muse - -- applause for a write that rhymes so eloquently despite the so -called writers block. Looking forward to your poem on rain........

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Surprisingly ANDREW your muselessness has resuited in a POEM of fine STRUCTURE ~ Five balanced Quatrains with a consistent Rhyme Pattern aaaa bbbb etc ! BUT alas the SUBJECT is lacking ! A lament on the missing muse as one would lament a Lost Love ! HOWEVER what it lacks in SUBSTANCE is more than compensated by STRUCTRE ~ so all in all an interesting and amusing POME ! However as a culinary expert (Lecturer in Food Science) I must take umbrage at the denigration of my Friend APRICOT ! If one plucks them from the TREE for instant consumtion Al fresco ~ The Peach might just have a slight edge ! BUT I (BRIAN) have had occassion in this last week to cook two *One Pot Casseroles* the first based on LAMB and the second CHICKEN. In addition to (different) appropriate vegetables etc I included DRIED APRICOTS in both Dishes to be served with boiled & buttered whole baby new potatoes (think about it). My guests (Foodies) on both occasions said how beautifully the APRICOT had ameliorated the organoleptic quality of the dish. Had I used PEACH it would have disintergrated and dissapeared witout trace ~ I rest my case !

Blessing & Peace & Muse Restoration
Yours as always ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Writers block, me think she visited me, for I can\'t put two fruits together either today. No peaches, apricots, no parsnips, cherries, or turnips either, and neither wetter or better.
Now what was I going to say - AHHH WELLL!!!!!!!!!!!

A perfect expression of that feeling we all get from time to time, sometimes a lack of inspiration can be the inspiration itself!

I got to cope with a 7-syllable word this time of the morning - inevita-wotsit. It will use up 99% of me brain cells for the day. lol.

To find someone that preps you up
and a true partner is a rarity in present times, so to read your piece is a true delight.
