Where Did The Time Go?
Dove said:

Busy day, Tis ok! You just have to write two, for the one you missed!
Or say heck with it, and give it a goodbye kiss

Do I Qualify?
dusk arising said:

Will your back and legs allow you to get in and out of a low down sports car. Will your eyesight cope with the reduced view of the road, can your hair stand the loss with all that high speed wind passing through it and your heart, will it stand up to the near misses when other motorists dont see you cos you travelling so fast.

But what a way to go eh?

Do I Qualify?
Accidental Poet said:

Andy, you qualify to be whoever you want to be and buy whatever car you\'d like. Long as the car has music in it.
Maestro if you please, turn the key. 😎

Do I Qualify?
Doggerel Dave said:

I\'m sure the sales person was too tactful, too circumspect really Andy, so he substituted three questions for what could have been covered by one:
\"Have you upped your personal life insurance to ensure your wife can continue to live in the manner to which she has become accustomed?\"
I note he was young....he will harden up eventually.
Got a real visual of that car yard. Glad I don\'t have that torment anymore.

Reading this, i have to say, i indeed can relate. And then again, i can say \"i\'ll do this for half an hour,\" and then ill still be doing it four hours later...i do that a lot more when im writing aha :)

Andy don\'t feel so bad about it. I was out of station for a week missed all of you. But the way you put it in this beautiful poem is really worth the wait

Where Did The Time Go?
L. B. Mek said:

\'Shower needed,
Shower done.
Then those little things happened,
Struggled to put leg in trousers,
Cereal container empty
So refilled it,\'
\'It was one of those days,
Those days where time flies by.
Yes I am retired and should have time,
But what happened to yesterday!
Every day I write poems,
But not yesterday,\'
its ok Andy, in my mind it was meant to be
since the poem you shared today
was worth waiting for, even if our loss
became your inspiration, in the end...
such a relatable wording of that common fear
where we all realise, today is yesterday\'s tomorrow
and we\'re still waiting to catch up, with it
while the clock, ticks its way past midnight
too quickly, once again...
a great read, my friend

OMG dont make poetry a chore sir!

In my world poetry has a tide beyond my control. But yes, we are all different.

Me again! But we have had ages, centuries. And those too who were around in 1066, like we were.

Aww - and not time to hear me sing a song - or ten?! lol.
There is \'File 13\' - things we can\'t be bothered with, or don\'t need doing. We bin them!

Happens to me often enough , Andy. Even with the task list, half the items get carried forward to the next...
It\'s cool - I don\'t usually fall back on the thought that the World just keeps on turning, but here I think It\'s relevant.

Opera can bring great emotion to the surface like few other art forms can. A lovely penned piece here Andy.

As with Dusk, my father played his records on Sundays and especially loved Joan Sutherland (who I think I see in picture). What a gift they have!

dusk arising said:

I\'m singing now.... and I think to myself.... what a wonderful world ..... oh yeah.

Definitely reminded me of old satcmo\'s words today. And now that it\'s all those years ago he sang it there\'s a new and deeper, richer meaning as we understand and accept more. What it\'s all about still fills with wonder, but theres a pleasure, a gratefulness, for simply being a part of it all.

A Night At The Opera.
dusk arising said:

As a child, the house rang to the sounds of opera on sundays when father played his records. My young ears, more accustomed to my two big sisters 45 rock n roll voices, took offence and with it the opportunity to play elsewhere.

Overall I avoid the stuff but there are certain pieces which are simply so superb. Yes, the popular pieces please my ears no end.

Road Works God.
Doggerel Dave said:

That Road Works God is, I find, particularly active in months May and June as the Roadworks Department seeks to reduce it\'s budget to zero before Treasury raids any surplus which might exist at the end of the financial year.
They gotta do wot they gotta do - and be quick and lively about it...
