New or Old.
orchidee said:

A fine write Gold. Ohhh we\'re wise then, I reckon: \'Everyone instructed unto the kingdom of God brings forth from their treasure things old and new\'. I read that the newer treasures are on top, and the older treasures are down below. We was \'ere in 1066, so have centuries of treasure - I hope!

Fay Slimm. said:

Agree wholeheartedly - comfort comes from clothing that has warmed the heart. Joan Sutherland\'s voice is so haunting and thank you for sharing that number dear Goldi.

Couldn\'t agree more - great little \'un.

How about an old body in new clothes - does that work?

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks UNCLE ANDY ~ I love Poem & Mister B ! I love all His symphonies so cool & balanced. I was only 4 during the Great Storm and Angela was still a TWINKLE ! (Born 1988). It was more intense in some places than others ~ but I remember the TV being full of it which was exciting !
Blessings & Love in the Spirit to You Both B & A 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

Chet Baker Acrostic.
dusk arising said:

Love chet, hate acrostics.
Wonderful toothless fluffy trumpet and in later years a wonderfully worn voice and phrasing.
The late stuff was really him at his best which is not how things usually work out for musicians. But there again he didnt fade away, took a dive out of a window to an abrupt end.

Old Age Phonephobia?
Fay Slimm. said:

Oh the sax has always blown me away my friend - - - such cool cool music - -- - - the strange old couple with mobiles would have brought a smile to my face too.

Old Age Phonephobia?
dusk arising said:

You\'re never to old to learn a bad new trick. My 5\" screen phone is too flippin small to want to spend too much time squinting at it and laptop too big.

Old Age Phonephobia?
sylviasearcher said:

My mum is 62 and on her phone more than me! They had to keep waving that no mobile phone sign to her in the theatre!

Every occasion needs a selfie, especially with her favourite daughter!

The older generation eh?

On topic!

Another great observational piece Andy - sadly it\'s becoming more evident these days.

Old Age Phonephobia?
Laura🌻 said:

Andy,

Good Morning!
I enjoyed the video and the poem!
I must admit, I’m an owner of one of those “mobiles”! I will also admit that I don’t own a computer! If I didn’t have this device that I’m using right now, I wouldn’t be able to send you this message! For my purposes, I find having this device to be very convenient because it is small enough to fit anywhere! I do travel quite a bit.
To each his/her own...
I guess!
I hope you’re getting a lot of R & R this week!
Have a wonderful day!
I’ll be indoors today. The temperature outdoors is -17C!

My love to Joyce and to you!

~Laura~

Neville said:

nowt so strange as folk... maybe it said more about your expectations... tho I would probably agree... Did you know there is no reason whatsoever to be told or expected not to use your mobile in a GP practice or hospital waiting area.... if anyone says turn it off or it interferes with this or that, tell them to go take a hike....we used to let anyone use their mobile at our old surgery & clinics.....rant over.. nice poem...

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Love the SAX Uncle Andy : always COOL : perhaps too cool for classical : but it has apperaed once or twice on the Proms ! BRIAN refuses to have a MOBILE : He calls it the FOBILE MOAN of the Mobile Phone (spoonerism ?). I do need one in case Im called in if one of my Clients is in Emergency. Im ON CALL 6am to Midnight ! Teens live on their Phones & Tablets (not paracetamol !) but i do see more 50+ using mobiles in PUBLIC. Your Poem is a Gem : reporting Society Today !
Blessings & Love for YOU & JOYCE :
ANGELA (NZ) 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Ive added CLIFF (Summer Holiday) please check !

orchidee said:

A fine write Gold - Modern oldies?! Title reminded me of a long word (ooh). Zacharias, John Baptist\'s father, could not speak a while, after seeing an angel in the Temple - Psychophonosthenia. \'Soul-sound-less\'. Psycho-phonos-thenia. Bit early in the day for these long words! Too early for an unwatered scotch?

Gone Away.
Fay Slimm. said:

Goldi my heart goes out to you in the problems of tending dementia - -- it must be such a challenge and the verse states plainly that those caring for dire disability have to take rest. Hoping your week will bring you pleasant sleep and more relaxation dear friend.

kevin browne said:

Blessings to both your wife and yourself. Living those two lives I feel has put you in duress and the heartaches you are suffering seeing you wife like this. I wish, and pray for you both to have easier lives. A wonderful write, my friend.

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks again UNCLE ANDY for another very moving POEM. It prepares us for similar should we ever have to face it. God tells us \"His Grace enables us to bear all things\" You have spoken lovingly of being with JOYCE and GOD also provides respite to enable you to gain the Physical & Spiritual strength to lovingly recieve Joyce back again ! True Love is victoriuos in all situations. It enables ANGELA & I to rejoice even though we are 11,500 miles apart. However we can phone & write & because it is 2019 talk face to face on Skype everyday.
Every Blessing & Love to you BOTH ~
BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
Love KF ~ perfect song for the Poem ~ B & A 🧡
