Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ Love the MOODY BLUES great close harmony and phrasing but 20 years before our time. We both contend that really great Pop Music (hope that\'s not an oxymoron !) stopped in the 70\'s ! EYESIGHT (3D - Colour & Mobile) is one of God\'s many blessings in the design & creation of H Sapiens ~ Both Angela & I are very dependent on excellent eyesight for our JOBS and hundreds of other reasons. Loved your POEM but as MIKE says it does highlight the importance of eyesight & eye testing. Angela & I have our eyes tested annually and already I need specs for small print but not (yet) for driving or computer. Thanks UNCLE ANDY please read my Poem ID RATHER HAVE JESUS sung by the incomparable JIM REEVE ~ Love to JOYCE ~ ANGELA 🧡🧡 and BRIAN 😎 Ive been to SPECSAVERS !

Great work. Keeping your eyes tested is good for other reasons and it\'s surprising how many don\'t get it done. My daughter is an optician and regularly diagnoses glaucoma, cataracts etcetera - without the test there is the potential long term for blindness.

Will you have to read the number plate of the car nearest you then? Is it about a mile away?! A fine write Gold.
Did they have number plates on the horses in 1066?

Lost in thoughtfully expressing your minds content. Eloquently.

Written by the pen of one whom picks one up every day to write just one more. In doing do you have honed your craft - “List In Words” invokes that which makes up the excitement and mystery for writers and poets. It is true - this inspiration other artists will ignite in us ... anyone who is serious about writing studies and reads the works of others. Well done!

Love the write and love G&S and hate the M25 - I avoid it as much as I can but it\'s not easy when travelling round the outskirts of North London.

Ahhhhhhh UNCLE ANDY ~ You fill up my senses with GS ~ Sublime Poetry and perfect symbiotic scores. Many happy hours spent @ the G & S weeks @ Buxton (perfect setting in a Perfect Theatre) now at Harrogate but lacking some of Buxtonic Charm ? !
Loved your Poem. I always carry a pen \'n pad with me so I can capture my MUSE as she flits in and out of my MIND.
When my MUSE moves I write it down ~ often gobbledegook ~ but then I hone it into the Fine Sonnets ~ Acrostics ~ HAIKU etc which I post on MPS. I am a sub-editor of our College Magazine and often subscribe an apposite Ditty ! Also unlike my NEMESIS John Betjeman (Would that I had His MUSE !) I am happy to compose to order for FUNCTIONS etc. Poetry is Poetry and like singing ~ it is a GIFT ! Blessing in all your activities and ANGELA sends her love to JOYCE ~ Who is your Best Muse ! 🧡🧡🧡🧡

Love to Joyce and you!

Nice write, I kind of relate to you in the way that I sometimes start a poem then immediately get lost and don’t know what to write.

orchidee said:

A fine write and clip Gold. Your first word here was \'The...\' That has endless possibilities as to what may come next.
What is tricky is people who get annoyed at sentences starting with \'And\'. And another thing.... lol.

dusk arising said:

I like your work, you know i do but i\'m going to have a go at you on this one.
I disagree so much with the content. I began to write a detailed explanation but .....
Not everyone is a money grabbing, so and so desirous of having power etc. You claim to want for none of those things because plainly you already achieved them - by your own hard effort and intelligence nodoubt
The third verse though is pure Goldfinch... brilliant as per.
Rant over.

A lovely write and clip Gold. Aww, but why does no-one spend time hearing me sing?! heehee.
You got time to prep for that birthday, and for 1066?

THANKS UNCLE ANDY ~ Great violin ~ great group ~ a jazzed up violin is always EVOCATIVE ~ O to be SEVEN - TY ! Love the SENRYU ~ Space is so vast ~ we can travel for ever in CYBER SPACE. As far as REAL~SPACE is concerned ~ I\'m 35 & Angela is 30 And between us we have covered less than 1% as far as REAL~TIME is concerned it FUGIT ~ Blessings BRIAN 😎 Love to JOYCE ~ ANGELA 🧡

A fine write Gold. Aww, but why do I shatter the peace by coming along and singing?! heehee.
How\'s the 1066 prep going? Some of my relatives are actually going there that weekend. I said they can\'t get in the reunion unless they were there in1066. They gave a me a look, to say \'you\'re barmy!\'

Doctor Who.
BRIAN & ANGELA said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ I love SF and DR WHO with its concept of SPACE / TIME travel and reincarnations of XY Doctors ~ now to be XX ~ give it an infinite existence ~ AMEN ! The tune is iconic and every time I hear it I look over my shoulder for DALEKS ~ creation of a genius and now they can climb stairs ~ I\'m no longer safe in BED in my Penthouse Flat ! It was 20 years old when I was born (1983) but I have seen every episode. I look forward to a Female DOCTOR ~ who will no doubt benefit from being able to think laterally and multitask ~ AMEN.

Good Time Lord a Lady ~
THE DOCTOR !
WITCH DOCTOR ?
No Silly ~ DOCTOR WHO !

Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN 😎
Love to JOYCE ~ ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

I have just had a hernia diagnosed by a very young lady doctor - an intimate examination which took me back many years - I felt like a time lord.

Similar joke to a \'Carry On\' film, with \'witch doctor\' and \'which doctor\'! lol.

orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. Then will the next one be transgender or something? How can one person be labelled \'they\'?
It\'s confusing to me. In not-so-olden-days we were either one or the other - he or she.

dusk arising said:

That\'s you that is! (a la Skinner and Baddeil). The time lord of MPS. The doctor. Sonic screwdriver in pocket you deliver timeless solutions to everyday experiences which bug us all.

What an example to set. Too many people today fixate on the negative. I\'m sure your life isn\'t perfect but you and your wife obviously share a great love... As Pa Larkin would say \'Perfect!!Maggie

Nicholas Browning said:

Love is hard to find these days. Bottom of the barrel dragging mooks in the mud I tell you. It must make you feel nice when your love for someone can affect someone else in a positive way. I shall remember this. Good work sir, both in life and in your travels to the shop.

BRIAN & ANGELA said:

THANKS ANDY ~ Nat King Cole ~ The smoothest of the Ballad Singers of the mid 20th Century and there are many contenders. NKC always sang from his HEART and always directly to YOU. When I give talks to Pensioners on the UNFORGETTABLE Nat & Natalie the Ladies are openly in tears and the Blokes trying hard to hold them back !

A Fire gives no heat unless it glows
Love is not Love unless it shows !

Thanks ANDY & JOYCE for sharing your love and the impact it has on those who come into your loving orbit ~ AMEN

Blessings & Love to Joyce from BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡 😉😉
Please check my 9/11 Lament ~ Thanks B
