Defeats my intelligence - the worlds gone mad - I wonder what is so important that they spend all their hours looking at a screen - at least of who use the spoken word will be members of an elite club - a secret club.

Another of your great observational pieces. It amuses me how couples are lost in their phones these days. I see it everywhere. Seems that i am the only one takes a book/newspaper/magazine into a waiting room/cafe if i am on my own.
However, i have to admit, at home my laptop is seldom shut down. Perhaps if my ageing eyesight were better i too would spend more time lost on my tiny phone.
I am a lover of conversation so even ignore all but the most important phone calls when in company.

Thanks ANDY the early part of the 20th C was a great era for the development of JAZZ. Love GENE KRUPER ~ He made the skins talk ! Yes it is a shame we have all become ROBOTS communicating electronically and not verbally. The sense of SPEECH & LANGUAGE is one of God\'s greatest gifts to Man and another proof that we are CREATED in God\'s likeness \"Just a fraction lover than the ANGELS\" and NOT MECHANISTICALLY EVOLVED \"Just a fraction higher than the APES\" I thank GOD every day that I am an ANGEL & not an APE ! I have stated elsewhere that I never have had (and never will have) a MOBILE and carrying a LAPTOP or TABLET is like carrying an OXYGEN CYLINDER ~ Thanks for caring & sharing ~ Please check my TIME POEM ~ Thanks ~ Yours BRIAN

Lol! It\'s true speach is being limited in chaps today. It\'s much easier to symbolize. Great write.

Pertinent poem reflecting the reality of our age. I like the intimate, conversational style. You\'ve highlighted the abuse of technology by some people, who overuse and overrely on it, at a cost. Without modern technology, we (my wife and I) would never have got in touch after so many years, but it is a double-edged sword and you have graphically demonstrated this. Thank you and well done, sir!

It happens to us all ~ even @ 35 I look in the Mirror (well I have never has a BEARD !) each morning and increasingly see my Dad ! So I splash on BRUT EXTRA ! I love FOLK SONGS ~ to my analytical mind ~ they are all funny & silly ~ which is why I love them ! BUT I much prefer Country Music because it always reflects REAL LIFE ! Thanks for the SONG & the POEM both an antidote (in some absurd way) to ENGLAND being CROATED ~ The only compensation is I will still be alive when the YOUNG LIONS graduate in 2022 ~ AMEN. Thanks for sharing ~ please check my FUSION on \"My Fave Hymn\" Brother BRIAN

THANKS ANDY ~ for a wonderful tribute (from the Heart) for all those who made a successful rescue ! Especially for the THAI SEAL who selflessly laid down his own life for the Boys and their Coach. The resonance of the Hebrew Slaves Chorus seemed aptly appropriate ~ thanks for caring ~ BRIAN Please spare a Prayer for Garry Southgate & Harry Kane and their very Young but Enthusiastic England Team ~ They are COMING HOME ~ but alas not the CUP ~ Yours BRIAN

Yes we can. The pulling together to save young lives is truly soul lifting. My inner prayers include a hope that such charity reaches the ears of those who plot terrorist actions and questions their resolve.
Fine writing sir.

We must get plans set in motion for the 1066 gathering soon. (Hastings, October). Of course, it won\'t be as grand as the 950th anniversary which was in 2016. But it will be the 952nd one. Anyone attend them all? They been held every year since!

A fine write and tribute Gold. A pity people may only work together in emergencies. Though there are ongoing good things - charities, research, help for the needy, etc.
What are the plans for 1066 this year?!
