So wisely true Andy. At a slower pace maybe we can all become gentler with each other as we learn the meaning of prescious.

How Did That Happen?
Rocky Lagou said:

I can totally relate to this sporadic sentimentality.
Hope you\'re doing well dear poet!
I used to be in my school\'s orchestra for a good 3 years, so I now how it feels to play that \"final encore.\"

How Did That Happen?
arqios said:

Many, far too many things of a now apparently bygone era are bowing out in droves. It is palpable how walking dinosaurs feel like. Perhaps the passing of the baton skipped a generation or so. But there are many old souls among the young out there. And together we can make the good old days fresh and springing forth a day at a time.

We rarely think of the memories that we are creating. But as we look back each brick we put in that wall makes it larger and sets its form.

Creating Memories.
Doggerel Dave said:

Echoes from our past -
Hope all can relish.
For some all fun passed
Them by; just hellish.

Apologies Andy – I certainly enjoy good memories of much (if not all) of my childhood. Occasionally I must remind myself that others maybe didn’t. I admire the focus of your reminder though.

A fine write Gold, and fine song going back to 1950 originally I read. A proper song, no garbage!
Any preparations for Hastings yet?

arqios said:

That is so spot on! What we see on the other end of a long lived life are the memories that we have \'produced\' simply by being ourselves with those that we surrounded ourselves with.

Laughter\'s Healing.
Doggerel Dave said:

There’s nothing like a good old laugh -
Endorphins released give that boost;
Always fun to be had? Not half!
Inhibition is muchly loosed………..

PS: thanks for the Two Ronnies, Andy. Fresh again after all those years - inhibitions released; I\'m going shopping🙂

Uncaged Birds.
Bella Shepard said:

A beautiful poem, devoted to such an extraordinary creature. They fill my morning walks with song. They come to the feeder outside my kitchen window, and I stop to marvel at them every time I pass by. Thank you for bringing this joy to life in your words.

Uncaged Birds.
Doggerel Dave said:

There are no birds which need to be caged,
Or would be caged if they had any choice.
Feed them good food so their appetite is assuaged;
Your reward will be great as they give voice.

Not advice to you personally, Andy – You are aware of all this already.

If enough of them chirp loud enough, they will drown out my singing! lol.

Thai Dining.
Doggerel Dave said:

If you find a good café then stick to it:
When a bad experience does occur
Which means the stomach with bad food gets hit,
Then one’s bowels can violently demur.

You may take it that this advice is borne of experience, Andy.

I have to laugh when I see someone talking it seems to themselves - we used to label such ones insane not too long ago - whaever next Andy I wonder ?.

orchidee said:

Good write Gold.
I must have plain foods though.
Why do I take a short cut thorough an arcade of foreign food restaurants, then come out feeling sick? Doh!
It\'s some bean sprouts smell that does it.

MendedFences27 said:

I think you might be onto something here Andy. Maybe they are prisoners, hypnotized or brain washed through their phones. Soon they will lose all emotional response and just walk about with phone in hand. Maybe, it\'s time for a new Cell Theory. - Phil A.
