\'Are not children due equal education?\' what a pertinent question in any era, but this be an age old lament my friend: \'They are weeping in the playtime of the others
In the country of the free.\' Elizabeth Browning

Good write Gold.
I was never educated in archery in 1066. Things could have turned out differently if I had been!

Stop Washing.
Michael Edwards said:

Better still don\'t start washing in the first place. Although come to think of it I\'m not sure where the first place is - could it be the maternity ward?

Stop Washing.
dusk arising said:

Ahhh one of my all time favs \'So what\' by Miles davis even though i used to hate the coltrane solo (on a different planet). For me this is the only tempo for \'so what\' yet miles always played it at double or quadruple time live. Very odd.

Recently i learned a song to sing/play on my little ukelele which has an interesting first verse on the subject of time.. \"Hello friend,.. where you been so long,.. time goes by,... it all seems to drift away,... just like a shadow,.. at the end of the day\". An impressive line.

Re: plug holes and washing.... i\'ve saved the shower water and i\'ll think about washing the car with it (only think about it mind u).... then i was going to water the plants wit it but i\'m sure i could get more use out of it before it just disappears...... this staying young is hard work.

orchidee said:

Would it help if we left the plug in after washing? Empty the bath/sink first of course.
They wish I had gone down the plug hole in 1066.

Angela here - Good Evening Uncle Andy - Thanks for sharing BH by QUEEN - Love every NOTE & WORD and it sure makes sense to me ! It must have broken the mould in 1975 which was 13 years before I was born! Thank GOD for CDs and even ALEXA will play it! It is also one of Brians faves for its sheer Musical Audacity! Only Freddy Mercury could dream that one up ~ AMEN. Love the sentiments in the Poem! Thnaks for sharing! We have both been too busy today to post a Poem - *MY SENSE OF TOUCH* tomorrow - enjoy!

Blessings & Peace to You & Yours

Bohemian Rhapsody.
MendedFences27 said:

Too many trips around the Sun, most of my favorites have melted into obscurity. Songs from 55-60 or so. But then Music marches on, new songs arise and are favored, and then forgotten. It\'s a constant cycle. Loved your poem. - Phil A.

Bohemian Rhapsody.
dusk arising said:

Scarramooche scarramouche can you do the fandango? I dunno why but i always sing the word fandango with a south wales accent... strange but true.
Time goes down the plug hole every time u pull the plug. So stop washing and stay young.

Bohemian Rhapsody.
L. B. Mek said:

life wouldn\'t be so precious if it weren\'t so damn elusive...
I say keep your preciousness -nature and give us a pause button feature
and we, will reverse global warming: out of the goodness of our hearts... Deal?!
a poignant question Andy, that everyone can relate to

Tosca Acrostic.
MendedFences27 said:

A very moving write. Opera is a fine blend of dramatic storytelling and powerful music. It can certainly raise the emotions you describe here. Thank you for this post. - Phil A.

Tosca Acrostic.
dusk arising said:

Hmmm opera. Few and far between are the operas my ears will tolerate. As a child i was tortured with opera from fathers low-fi hi-fi and biased my opinion.

What better gift could anyone give to the world than a natural unpretentious smile, so infectious that it becomes a possession in many peoples memory.

That Smile.
Michael Edwards said:

Those who can smile and see the lighter side of life are the ones who will always be remembered for the joy they bring. Joyce was obviously one of those gifted people.
