This is a deviation from your usual writes, and I have to add that I like it.
Let\'s have more of your disreputable past, Andy. 😊

A fine write Gold.
In one job, we were OK until a new manageress came along. Then it went downhill. Your poem is probably all the things she is NOT.
Some nearly went on strike - not paid properly - but were only a smallish Company. She wouldn\'t have cared. She would not even leave the building for a Fire Practice. We don\'t care if she had burnt up! That\'s how it was.

No need of church when you have your river, Andy.
The picture you painted - I hope you didn\'t mind that I came along too.

L. B. Mek said:

simply beautiful!
the lyrics of your song choice
serenades
the poetry of your words..
this theme reminds me of phil collins
and \'another day in paradise\'
especially your poetry\'s
defiant, last line
indeed, we must be grateful
for the small wonder\'s
that accumulate to make up
the smiles in our lives..
thanks Andy!
a poignant and reassuring message

Dad Dancing.
Bella Shepard said:

You just hit on something dear to my heart. I hear the music and I can\'t help but move. I rarely get to go dancing anymore, but nothing stops me from dancing, by myself, in my living room, to music of the sixties. Only problem is that hips and knees have aged, where the brain has not followed. Thank you for this little trip down memory lane, a great write!

Laughter And Sleep.

Andy, You need to put your sage advises together and write a self help book instead of scattering your pearls of wisdom around here (not suggesting you stop!!)

Agreed dear Andy - and my feet are still tapping to that Beach Boys number - -wow - those were the days - -I loved and still love their sound.

Laughter And Sleep.
L. B. Mek said:

that\'s why insomnia
is such an evil, hindrance
to our whole wellness
and sleeping pills, are such a dangerous slippery-slope
to addiction\'s or unhealthy over reliance\'s, doors..
but I have found powernaps
are a great way to get your accumulative sleep..
as for laughter
get it wherever you can
laugh till you can\'t breathe and be grateful
for each chuckle..
(such a great read, Andy
and so, so
timely and relevant)
thank you!

There Will Be No Hurricane Tonight.

The worst weather forecast ever given was that time in eighty seven when all hell was let loose and you were there to see it all Andy - - terror you will never forget.

There Will Be No Hurricane Tonight.
dusk arising said:

Something very \'Fishy\' about the weather that night Andy.

There was a less newsworthy hurricane in early 60\'s Nottinghamshire which nealy saw the end of my brother and me when a huge brick chimney was blown over and landed on the roof above where were were in our beds. Had that roof been less robust it would have ended my poetry there and then lol.

A great poem from you today. We brits are known for our \'talking about the weather\' and boy do we have occasions to talk about especially this month.
