Loving this light-hearted approach to a further lockdown - your pie sounds a winner when you get to the kitchen my friend.

good write Andy, humour is the way to get through 2020, can\'t allow yourself to take things too seriously

Lockdown Once More.
Doggerel Dave said:

Ah Andy - I don\'t know what to say about lockdown as I\'ve never really done it. The State of Victoria has lead the way there. So is empathy without knowledge any good? \'Tell you what though: I will gain massively out of your experience if it provides you with the motivation to continue to exhibit the kind of beautiful music you have been showing us.

Stay safe. Dave

orchidee said:

You can go to different shops - the ones that are open, that is.
You can start your Ch....card list - you know!
I\'m sure I saw a couple of shops open, that come under \'non-essential\'.

Hi Andy,

A superb write.

Absolutely we should all try and smile more often.
Keep writing ✍ and safe during lockdown.

Violence Solved?
L. B. Mek said:

\'As if you see a mosquito
And it lands on your balls,
You have to realise
There must be a way to solve problems
Without using violence.\'

Ha! so witty, had me 🀣

Doggerel Dave said:

Plenty of material there, Andy - at the absurdity of this life and especially the folly of large numbers of the people occupying it.
Get a good giggle going.
You can do it.
Regards Dave

A good write Gold.
I dunno - lockdown or not - no smiles from some shop staff. It may depend on which shops we visit.

Violence Solved?
Doggerel Dave said:

Andy - iv\'e lived in North Queensland for a goodly number of years. I know those little beasties quite well. Appropriate attire well secured would seem to be the way to go. Application of mosquito repellent in this instance not recommended.
There should always be solutions whether testicular or international.
Regards Dave
PS Cool Conductor - great.

ANGELA HERE - Gut Mitwok Mein Onkel Andy ! Love the VID - A Minimalist Conductor with one of the Worlds Greatest Orchestras ! JA it did have a *smile factor* ! Loved the Saga from the Greek Humorist ~ TES~TACILES ! In the SACA you cite methinks PREVENTION ~ UNTER-HOSEN ENGEN ~ is better than the CURE ! SMOKEY (being a CAT !) is much less censurious than FIDO and would have permitted ODE ! Thanks for posting MESSAGE & MUSIC !

Blessng & Peace to YOU & YOURS
Love Angela Brian & Smokey πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›

Double muchness of mirth this morning of the first frost. Thanks for that Andy. Actually if one landed on mine it would realise it had bitten off more than it could chew - 😏

She Was Back Once More.
L. B. Mek said:

wonderful,
that you can see the tint of Sunshine through the storms of life is all the armour you need and the music you played with Joyce, will ever reside within each pulse of life,
how proud she must be of you Andy,
stay strong my friend: slice onions and let it all out, then garnish your steak and celebrate, as she too gets to share within each breath you squeeze from life...

She Was Back Once More.
Doggerel Dave said:

Andy - It\'s not often the the theme of love in poetry gets to me (although I will be doing one of my own sometime soon). The ache - the wish to go back to that moment is one I certainly have experienced. By now you must have realised, I can\'t do the spirit thing - however the memory is warm and whole and I return to it whenever I need comfort.
Take care, Dave

back in lock-down once more
my bum wil get sore
lying here on the sofa
an idle bored loafer
with nowhere to go anymore

Well I had to have a go.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

ANGELA HERE ~ Good Evening Uncle Andy. Thanks for showcasing OSCAR ! Every time I hear & watch HIM I learn a little more about the *Interpretation of Cool Jazz on a real PIANO !* AMEN. Brians DAD now has a Lowery Organ (same as they use in the Church) so He has given us his Rushworth & Drapers (Liverpool) Upright Grand ! Once tuned it stays tuned for ten Years ! Brian & I are fortunate to be in secure Jobs & being retired you can set Your Own Agenda ! WE support the Church *Needy* Support Group and the Coop Foodbank. WE feel perhaps that COOP Food Vouchers are the most sensible CMAS Gift this Year or COOP Hampers ? COVID 19 can knock us down - BUT - it will never knock us OUT ~ AMEN !

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

A very pertinent and excellently written stanza Andy, let\'s hope that things get better by people being collectively sensible.

Take care,

Doggerel Dave said:

Yeh you folks aint the only ones - limericks make me itchy too:

In a world of over population
Perhaps thinning is not a bad notion?
So long as it’s not me
I’ll end it my way you see
And I’ll never cause any commotion.

My addition to the low mood. How low can we go?

L. B. Mek said:

good read,
I\'m also an Autumn guy, though admittedly more \'Fall\' and early Winter than late Summer, it\'s that inevitably melancholic mood they help cultivate

dusk arising said:

On my TV are MP\'s imploring
Stay at home even if it\'s quite boring
but remaining erect
whilst in self protect
is my failure, I\'m often found snoring

So bored with the pandemic break
Goldie is off to his lake
it\'s my meditation
is his explanation
then swiftly nips home for some cake

Or perhaps on another day
sipping coffee in a favourite cafe
where he\'ll knock one off briskly
a poem quite risky
just to hear what his subject will say

When i see limericks i just can\'t help but start composing

I got in a muddle. The sheet hit the fan, and got all tangled up in it! Doh!
It\'s tricky, and difficult for traders of \'non-essential\' goods and services. Hopefully they can survive, with online business, etc. But one can\'t get a virtual haircut, for example. Get that pudding basin on yer head, and get someone to cut round it. In the hair-style of 1066?

Hi Andy,

A beautiful write with Autumn so magnificently captured.

They say New England in the US is one of the best places to experience Autumn or the fall as they say in the US.

Keep writing ✍ and safe during these challenging times.

dusk arising said:

Nice one and oh how i miss it... staying locked away for self preservation.
Springtime is my favourite i admit but autumn has it golden beauty and sorrow as the natural world prepares for winters hardship.

All the more poignant to observe the final beauties of 2020 as we head into who knows what this year.
