What Abuse?
Doggerel Dave said:
Now I have a funny presentiment
That you ain’t going to like wot I say:
Andy please give up on your sad lament –
Societal pressures win the day.
Yes, parents make you what you are, no argument – I am my father in many ways. But also in many ways life is harder than it was then. The mores and norms of society change; Things weren’t brilliant then either – people’s roles were much more restricted, most people were poorer than today, at least where I live….and so on.
Take very good care of yourself, Andy

Unfortunately it’s not the fault of the young we’re in such a state. They were born as we were. It’s the parents and society that’s warped the generation. IMHO

My complete agreement Andy with your verse on today\'s view of Abuse - - and put so precisely this question you raise at the end of your reflection on what it meant a few years back - parents were supposed to discipline growing children - - what is this present system coming to I wonder.

You are indeed the master of this particular \'observational\' form of poetic genre Andy .. I previously got rid of my BMW because of the increasingly negative stereotyping that it attracted .. and of course the boy racers who so often tried to pass me on bends etc .. I find that Audi owner/drivers are fast becoming the same, if indeed they have not already overtaken the Beema boys n girls ... I now drive a Mercedes ................ Neville :)

I sensed the invigoration you felt,
Experienced your wonderful day.
Is there a day of yours which is not delt
with other than joy and hope’s shining ray?
Go for it Andy.

My prejudices challenged - how lovely:
I love this because my name is Andy:
When happenings occur quite radical,
That allows me to wax poetical.
Andy, I don’t know how you do this every day, but I appreciate it, am enjoying it.

Had to get the ice cream van out by eight.
This week I’ve really had a lot on my plate -
The Greensleeves tape finally had enough,
The fridge broke down; the week had been quite tough.
But the ice cream was excellent, Andy – I HAD some in spirit. Thanks.

Smoke Filled Days.
John Prophet said:
I remember 65 years ago I was at a Bruins hockey game with my dad. We were sitting up in the nose bleed section. I just remembered men buzzing around down below and a heavy smoke cloud hanging over all. Cigars and cigarettes everywhere. Years later taking my son to the same arena for a Celtics basketball game the air was clear and clean….

I too occasionally hark back and hanker for a crafty fag (that\'s a cigarette folks) for anyone unfamiliar with proper old-fashioned English :)

Doggerel Dave said:
Irony substitutes here for the smoke -
Hides the disaster that lurked in those times.
How was it I survived and did not croak?
I committed those self inflicted crimes.
A nice piece of recollection I remember too well, Andy.

Doggerel Dave said:
Never was such a time I’m afraid, Mate.
Know what you mean, and it’s nice to think so -
But respect was enforced, that was your fate;
Life was ‘nasty, brutish and short’……You go…
And anyway, in Oz our clocks are going forward – So there! 🙂🙂
(Agreed -situation crap right now...)

Envy is a terrible thing;
I’ve got a large dose of it here -
I need some consolation…..
And you don’t offer me a beer?
You are very lucky people - I love what the FFs give .
In the possibly vain hope you haven’t arrived there yet Andy, I give you Emmet’s Place. Here’s a sample:

Deeds Of Love.
Shetonya Latryce said:
Love it! I believe word is bond but more than that I believe it is what you do that leaves the lasting impression so I agree deeds are the best way to mesh in love and friendship.

Words are cheap it’s said -
Deeds the better fare.
Yet words can destroy
So handle with care.
Even so, you have it at its core, Andy.

Cygnets At Rest,
Bella Shepard said:
What a wonderful walk you must look forward to each day. You are indeed fortunate to behold such a beautiful sight. Maybe we can learn something important from those swans, just to stop and be at peace with the world we belong to. A lovely write my friend.
