Glass Full.
Doggerel Dave said:

The golf balls were pissed as a fart,
And the pebbles had a good time.
The glass sold as a work of art -
The sand, too gritty was a crime.

If you read it, references in order to verify, please Andy

But don\'t invite me for a beer, or it will be half beer and half water! heehee. Well, beer is made with water, but you know what I mean, being the Phantom Soda (Water) Syphoner!

My Good Life.
Bella Shepard said:

My smile grows broader with each line! Your joy is so palpable and infectious. You have put into words so many things that I think to myself each day. We should start a 70 something club. Who knows, maybe we will go on forever!

My Good Life.

Suddenly I am reminded of the king in \'Ever After\' when he said to his errant son, \"Then I shall have to live forever!\"

A fine write Gold. When did us two become \'old age\', as we\'re millions of years old? Was it at about our 4 millionth birthdays?!

My Good Life.
Doggerel Dave said:


I cannot but endorse this more -
Except perhaps your last line.
You stick around – I’m off before,
Before the world’s troubles combine.

Wishful Thinking?
Doggerel Dave said:

And of course we can always hope
Things improve before they go west.
But will people manage to cope
With change dysfunctional at best?

‘Sorry Andy – it will take more than morals, thankfulness and respect to engage with and sort world problems right now.

Wishful Thinking?
arqios said:

It may take longer than we might think. Some things don\'t ever return either. A very mixed basket there. Quite sad really. Thanks for the reminder, Andy.

Wishful Thinking?
orchidee said:

Yes, I thought the same, when some miserable git let a door swing back in my face! Thanks a lot, guy, have a bad day! Patience now, Orchi. But how patient, just because of someone\'s rudeness?

Lessons In Life.
Fay Slimm. said:

Mistakes can become great lessons for us Andy - am listening so intensely now to a favourite voice as Frank sings the sadness of Autumn when love has been lost. Thanks for sharing the words and of course Sinatra too.

Lessons In Life.
L. B. Mek said:

looking back, we see a trail
a definitive path
yet looking ahead, we can\'t fathom
a route, towards progress
looking side to side, we assume
we\'ve arrived...
(when we think we know
we begin to contemplate
how little we do)
thanks for sharing your encouraging words, dear Poet
I read and learn

Lessons in life are aplenty, thanks for the reminder Andy!

Lessons In Life.
Doggerel Dave said:

Do utilise those mistakes by all means
If you have the chance and it’s possible;
This doesn’t amount to a hill of beans
Where poverty makes it improbable.

Good write Gol.
Is there any remedy for my mistake of \'I started to sing one day\'? lol.

Warm Days
arqios said:

I get what you mean, they look the part but swelter or melt because all of it is asynchronous! The video literally made my hairs stand on end. I have partiality to Sting\'s version but this is not to be scoffed. Hope there is a recording of your choir\'s version to listen to!!! Thanks Andy.

Warm Days
Doggerel Dave said:

You just observed ex Boy Scouts and Girl Guides;
They adhered to their well known principle:
“Be Prepared”, and after all, who decides? -
Weather forecasts change and are so supple.

Best wishes for your concert, Mate - the human voice in unison - Great.

This senryu flows beautifully in the confluence of words and music. What a vision you create!

Handels Music Flows. Senryu.
Doggerel Dave said:

Musical choice? I mostly opt for jazz;
Now I must admit I’m no connoisseur.
Though that kind of music has more pizzazz.
I need peace; Classical I quite prefer.

Thanks Andy - lovely accompaniment as I wander around the rest of MPS.

For Remembrance Day.
Fay Slimm. said:

Agree the wording is unforgettable and very meaningful. The choice of \"Only Remember\" is so apt.

A beautiful find, Andy.

For Remembrance Day.
L. B. Mek said:

sharing great poetry that illuminates
as it delights, is a great service to our collective worth
the day we forget our 11\'11\'11s or other memorial days
is the day we accept, humanity has lost the ability
to love and sympathise with each other..
(thank you Andy!)
