Inspiring words of wisdom. Optimism with a sense of logic. Words to live happily by. An appreciation of life against it\'s alternative. Loved it. - Phil A.

Too right Goldfinch, what a refreshing poem to read. I\'m cursed with an aching back at the moment, the worst its been in years but still have to lift heavy boilers onto walls..... oh yes i cuss, but i\'m alive and planning to stay alive a while yet.

Nice little song of a swan, GF 60.
Looks like he took a swan dive when he saw the plate coming. Oh well just another non-believing waterfowl.Bless his soul.
Liked your poem - Phil A.

Trust Mr Goldfinch to always have an opened packet of biscuits in his pocket.

A great fun read G. and it actually happened.... one memorable quirky fun moment from a lifetime. Really enjoyed this.

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Brought a smile for Thursday Morning to take to work ! We have has all sorts in the Church for the whole of the service ~ Dogs - Cats - Hedgehogs etc ! they all (fortunately !) behaved as MUTE as your SWAN ! The Dog was a Guide Dog a Lady brought the Cat and an eccentric Gentleman brought the Hedgehog wrapt in his cap to rescue it from the cold. Much to the delighht of the Children his HAT started walking along the ailse ~ on cue ~ during the Childrens Talk. In reality I find Churches more amusing than UNCLE MIKES cartoons !
Blessings & love to YOU & JOYCE ~

A fine write Gold. I\'ve seen, at mainly slightly eccentric churches, people bringing along their pet dogs for the whole service. I should take Fido along.

A fine write and tribute Gold. I missed Joseph The Hymnographer. He would give me tips on hymn-poems. Well, he was last around in the 9th Century, when I met him in person - before 1066!

Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Love JDP as you say she died in her prime but thank GOD for some excellent recordings : she brought the CELLO to life : a virtuoso ! Love the moral in your Poem R E S P E C T (opportunity for a Septet Acrostic noted !). I respect myself & BRIAN (etc) BRIAN repects himself and MOI (etc). I am fortunate to be in a Profession where Mutual Respect : and respect for our CLIENTS is of paramount importance. In MEDICINE respect is an integral part of the HIPPOCRATIC OATH : AMEN. However as you imply : it is increasingly lacking in todays hedonistic Society. Brian & I hope to start our Family in 2020 but we shudder to think of the type of Society they will grow up in ! Parenting seems to be increasingly difficult especially when a DISRESPECTFUL MAN like TRUMP is in high office. I respect the OFFICE but alas not the Man !
Blessings & Spiritual Love to YOU & JOYCE

So very true. This something I have taken on board and i am affronted by those who will not or cannot be respectful of others. No longer enjoying such company - found all too often these days - i avoid the tables.

Nice writing, making a valid observation on society.

I have absolutely no argument with you on this one GF60 in fact I would unequivocally agree with the fundamental principles of respect, honour and courage.. unfortunately, respect, honour and courage each seem to have taken a distinctly dark and twisted shif in relatively recent years which I find a little disturbing.. having got that off me chest, I respect and admire the way you have incorporated your most recent poem around good old fashioned ideals and standards... good on ya squire...

Fully agree about JDP and your comments about respect. Sadly my respect for the professionalism of our politicians has evaporated but I am not likely to be sharing a table with any of them anyway.

Then again, we (or I) find myself saying \'Sorry\' when sometimes it\'s the other persons\' fault. Doh! No use me being a doormat.

A fine write Gold. And yes, I ordered humble pie at a restaurant table. They said \'Sorry, what are the ingredients to make it?!\' I said\' I can\'t remember; I last had it in 1066\'.

Thanks for caring UNCLE ANDY : Im on my WEDNESDAY Lunch Break : catching up on MPS : some gems today and this is one of them. Love the duet (I can read the French !) and the related Poem !
There is a line of a Hymn

Ive seen a LILY push its way
Up thruogh the stubborn sod
I believe in miracles : For

Flowers always gravitate towards the light !
