Ten Sixty Six.
Doggerel Dave said:

Collapse of historical archives will be imminent
Once the truth of your account is verified and revealed:
For those who must care, history has no equivalent
Of witnessed events whose honesty cannot be appealed.

How can we be sure that all those history books will be recycled, rather than go to landfill, Andy?

Ironing Goldiku.
Doggerel Dave said:

I cannot understand this one at all:
Please do clarify this and give a call…
Your clothing doesn’t wick after you smooth;
Cloth should be full - this no more than the truth.

Three weeks after I left home, a very long time ago, I gave up ironing. Don\'t waste your life, Andy.... LOL.....

Brilliance Or Kindness.
Doggerel Dave said:

Yes kind people still do exist -
And found everywhere in our midst.
I fall over and am injured:
Strangers there, assistance rendered.

I have very bad balance.

One certainly likes to think so Andy .. or at least for a long while :)

Forever Memories.
Doggerel Dave said:

Sometimes I do,
But not often.
Mostly I rue –
This don’t soften…..
Occasionally something comes in and causes toe curling embarrassment ...so thanks for reminding me, Andy.

Very true Andy and those who be come stronger are the real winners

Bad To Better.
Doggerel Dave said:

A self-help book by yourself is needed:
Then ”See page seven four nine of my book”.
But poems here would be superseded
And MPS collapsed – not a good look.

Stay on Andy – don’t go nowhere……

Bad To Better.
arqios said:

Help us to choose to be strengthened rather than to be defined (caged) or be destroyed by it. Ayaiyai!

Turn That Page.
Doggerel Dave said:

I find a conundrum presented here:
How can I avoid a turn of the page?
To turn that page and then cark it, I fear,
is something with which I must sometime engage ……………………………………………….But not that day if you don’t mind too much, Andy….😀

Turn That Page.
arqios said:

Such an adventure it is Andy! And via lines and verse we are able to traverse together and individually. Thanks for sharing

Good Friends.
orchidee said:

A good friendship write Gold.
I had millions of friends, being millions of years old - as you and I are.
Oh woe, I lost them all. I only said \'And now a song\' and saw a cloud of dust as they scarpered! lol.

October 8th, 2022 02:24

Good Friends.
Doggerel Dave said:

A friendship such as yours is without peer:
History, understanding and respect -
The company left you with so much cheer,
A poem here as homage was perfect.

Good for you, Andy.

Reality From My Dream.
bellflower said:

O I was reading it with an open mouth. I always had fascination for 1920s cars.....their beautiful models....I was thinking of them only when I happened to see it at one of the poetry contests .....That was a fun to pen it and treasure it in my life....that was not the end i was travelling in my city when i happened to see it with my own eyes.....that was really a blessing....one day i took a shot of it though little far....another time i\'ll go little closer to it.....Your poem refreshed all those memories and experiences of mine....thank you.

Reality From My Dream.
Doggerel Dave said:

There’s always hope old lad - why not?
Your mantle piece is full of dreams;
And now there is no other spot -
Just rob a bank - go to extremes.

My full apologies, Andy. My solution is totally impractical. In this digital age, banks no longer carry large amounts of cash. I don’t want to be accused of leading you astray..

Love the surprise, the humour – great write.
