There once was a time in our lives
When we had a good chance to survive
But crowds in the street
Did not give a ‘sheet’
For those who wanted to thrive.

A fine write Gold.
I got in a muddle. The sheet hit the fan, and got all tangled up in it! Doh!
It's tricky, and difficult for traders of 'non-essential' goods and services. Hopefully they can survive, with online business, etc. But one can't get a virtual haircut, for example. Get that pudding basin on yer head, and get someone to cut round it. In the hair-style of 1066?
Thanks Orchi, we will survive but must be careful.
Andy
You hear me rattling about in the cupboard? Getting me pudding-basin out for haircut!
How extraordinarily bloomin true sir... I have always believed that a combination of selfishness, ignorance and greed will likely be the end of us ...
Neville
Yes Neville it will be the end of us, why cannot people not see the problem.
Andy
On my TV are MP's imploring
Stay at home even if it's quite boring
but remaining erect
whilst in self protect
is my failure, I'm often found snoring
So bored with the pandemic break
Goldie is off to his lake
it's my meditation
is his explanation
then swiftly nips home for some cake
Or perhaps on another day
sipping coffee in a favourite cafe
where he'll knock one off briskly
a poem quite risky
just to hear what his subject will say
When i see limericks i just can't help but start composing
Good response d a, you know me well now, going off to coffee tomorrow maybe for the last time for a while.
Andy
Yeh you folks aint the only ones - limericks make me itchy too:
In a world of over population
Perhaps thinning is not a bad notion?
So long as it’s not me
I’ll end it my way you see
And I’ll never cause any commotion.
My addition to the low mood. How low can we go?
They do make you want to write don’t they.
Andy
Music a compensatory choice.
Many thanks for that, Andy.
Music has always been my lifeline .
Andy
A very pertinent and excellently written stanza Andy, let's hope that things get better by people being collectively sensible.
Take care,
Ben.
We can hope Ben, maybe one day people will realise their problems.

ANGELA HERE ~ Good Evening Uncle Andy. Thanks for showcasing OSCAR ! Every time I hear & watch HIM I learn a little more about the *Interpretation of Cool Jazz on a real PIANO !* AMEN. Brians DAD now has a Lowery Organ (same as they use in the Church) so He has given us his Rushworth & Drapers (Liverpool) Upright Grand ! Once tuned it stays tuned for ten Years ! Brian & I are fortunate to be in secure Jobs & being retired you can set Your Own Agenda ! WE support the Church *Needy* Support Group and the Coop Foodbank. WE feel perhaps that COOP Food Vouchers are the most sensible CMAS Gift this Year or COOP Hampers ? COVID 19 can knock us down - BUT - it will never knock us OUT ~ AMEN !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
L9ve Angela - Brian - Smokey 💛💛💛
back in lock-down once more
my bum wil get sore
lying here on the sofa
an idle bored loafer
with nowhere to go anymore
Well I had to have a go.
Of course, writing limericks is a disease, we all get infected by them.
