Yes dear Goldi poets can be strangely out of this world when we get a subject invading our mind - I love the chosen video too and the group singing laments over children running the show .... yet I agree that last verse says it all - - how our offspring are missed when they leave home. Good read.

Irish! IRISH! The Carries are a very famous SCOTTISH duo, their most famous song is “Flower of Scotland “ which is the Anthem of the Scotland Rugby Union team.
I always have notebook and pen with me to write down ideas and poems.

Ahhhhhhh UNCLE ANDY ~ All Irish Music is sacred ! ANGELA & I love the Pubs in the Republic (no hard Border please !) where there is always a fluid Band in the corner ! You are always welcome to sit in & play or sing ! They love Angela because She can sing \'Forty Shades of Green\' in Spanish ! Love the instruments : Irish Drum : Fiddle : Penny Whistle : 12 String Guitar : Banjo etc ! Thanks for posting the Corries.
All my and (Angelas) Poems start off as manuscripts ~we always carry a spiral notebook and biro. I had a fountain pen once but now (like the feather quills Orchidee uses) they are ANACHRONISMS along with SNOPAQUE and ERASERS. I love the way in which MPS allows REVISIONS also how easy they are to make on a PC ~ Technology Rules OK ~ The Laptop is Mightier than the Laser Stick ! Love the Video & Verse ~ Blessings & Love to you BOTH ~

I love the sense of humor in these coffee shop poems. What a wonderful gift to your subjects. I\'ll bet he was surprised to find out not everyone is self absorbed.
If I work on a poem its usually in long hand. It helps me think. I get the idea down however I can depending on where I am but I do enjoy writing it down.

Every piece in MPS creates a mental picture. Today yours throws up a couple of questions for me. Do these entertaining writes take long to compose/edit. Are you always equipped with a notepad, and most importantly, what does your other half do whilst you compose. Is she a collaborator or nose buried in the favourite daily paper....
Maybe those q\'s are a subject for another piece?

Autumn Is With Us - HAIKU.
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:
The beautiful Fall colors are captured in your haiku. Yet, Winter is upon us, so I must add another line to your poem.
\"The greens turn to gold,
The oranges change to red,
Autumn is with us,
as evidenced by the cold.\" :-)

What wit you have. I\'m still laughing. :-)
This poem is great and it emphasizes that there is no need for a clock.
Don\'t ever stop writing.

There\'s a new version of that \'joke\' around here. One is awakened by the thundering noise of a low flying helicopter. It\'s 2.40a.m. on a saturday morning and the police helicopter is serving the community again.
Why are police helicopters some of the loudest? We often see much, much quieter ones in the sky heading for the Droitwich heliport.

Andy ,
Your write was great!
That clip was hilarious!
It’s not easy for children to learn how to tell time! Digital watches were out of the question for my children until they learned to tell time from an analog clock/watch!
When I watched the clip, I noticed Dave Allen’s left hand! Half of his index finger was missing. Do you know what happened?
My love to Joyce and you!

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Brian & I love GLEN MILLER and Brians talk on Glen to Seniors is very moving. I enjoyed the UK GM Tribute Band before I went to N Z and I cried when I thought of his incredible talent disappeared in the English Channel when he was on his way to conduct a concert to celebrate the Liberation of Paris in WW2. Brian & I both love the Moon and believe it has a bigger influence on Human Life & Love far in excess in its Divine role as a Night Light and a controller of the Tides. It is much bigger and much closer to Planet Earth and Scientists are still unsure of its origin : The Scriptures say it was specifically created by GOD to do what it perfectly does ! Venus does not have a MOON and MARS has two small ones the size of the Isle of White. Brian has taught me a lot about the COSMOS ~ AMEN Thanks for sharing : Blessings & Love to You & Joyce : ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Andy,
Your write is truly heartbreaking! I can empathize with your frustration! I’m with my aunt at the moment! She had hip surgery! Everything was going well until four days ago! She fell while going to the WC! I was right in the next room. She didn’t call me to help her. She did not want to disturb me...she said. It would’ve been better if she had! She injured her back! The pain is unbearable! She screams most of the times...night and day! I feel helpless. I wish I could make it better for her!
She’s a devout Catholic...but let me tell you, she has been cursing her God like never before! I never heard her so against Him! I never heard her curse till now! She implores Him to take her out of her misery! I wish I could do more for her. I wish I could take her pain away! There’s not much more I can do! I talk to her constantly to distract her from her suffering! It works for a little while! Then her wailing and moaning take over! Very frustrating! Patience (on my part) must prevail!
So I have some understanding of your situation! What you do for Joyce is immeasurable! You are truly an amazing man!
My love to Joyce and to you!

When working I was told by the Hospital Chaplain that I would at some time in my life find God or turn towards him. I nearly lost my dear Jeanne 6 years ago when she had a 1 in 5 chance of surviving radical cancer surgery - she is still with me and in total remission. I have just survived cardiac arrest only a few days ago. Despite all this I still have to experience the prophesy of the Chaplain. That is not to say that I don\'t recognise and sympathise with the position you are in Andy - My heart feels for you and this fine write puts it all in perspective.

O UNCLE ANDY : My Spanish Heart weeps for You and Joyce and I pray for you 24/7 for both RELEASE & PATIENCE ! When we rail at GOD he is never offended because it is a sign that we believe He can do a Miracle and He can lift us up. I CAN EMPATHISE : I have seen the scourge of DEMENTIA in my own Extended Family and some of my Clients : especially Home visits : some have DEMENTIA (or their Partner) and I experience their sorrow & anger first hand. Your devotion to JOYCE has been a great inspiration to BRIAN & I because neither of us know what we will have to face in 30 or 40 years time. Stay close to GOD and He will direct your paths. Rest assured that neither Brian or I are shocked or offended by you outburst : it just makes us love JOYCE & Yourself even more : AMEN
