What We Do & What We Don’t Need Now
we don’t need
so many beams these days
do we darling ..
we don’t need an inglenook ..
we don’t need
no five plate Arga range
do we darling ..
we don’t need no holy book ..
what we need are
smiles and laughter, plus
a dream filled to
the point of overflowing ..
with the best of
all good things, plus a huge
double helping
of joy, peace, love and hope ..

I'll chuck KP in that holy brook! We've a Brook of that very name in our town.
I would move if I woz you ๐
Amen!
(it really doesn't take much
to put a smile on our face
or kind tones in our eyes
just a little openness, aside
a side serving of acceptance
and just like that
our slice of life, is that little bit
more sweet...)
I dunno about you brother Mek but I'm exhausted .. thanks for spoiling me summat rotten today ๐
Smiles and laughter win every prize for lasting relationships and no doubt about it - and who would not take that "double helping of joy, peace, love and hope" - a positive write and inspiring read mon ami .....x
thank you kindly Fay ๐นx
Quite the positive write....smiles and laughter i think are what we all want. Excellent. Well done!
thank you C8
Where the rubber hits the road
and that's where the skid marks are at.
one learns something new every day .. cheers
If the beams, the inglenook, the Aga (that woz the one I had in my days of plenty) range are there, don't chuck 'em out...(bible is a different matter) but bathe in the 'smiles and laughter,' plus the 'joy, peace, love and hope' for as long as it lasts..... I did enjoy the piece Nev, but fear I might be turning myself into an advice maiden - Dorothy Dix (Aust), UK - Edith Home if I remember....
Cheers Dave, or should I start calling you Margie ๐
Who's Margie? must have missed that particular agony aunt..... I was 11 - 12 when I used to sneak mum's magazine to my bedroom to read Edith's advice column; ah wild prepubescent (just) fantasies.....something going on....... ๐
I would love nothing more than to see someone put your words to music. I feel as though they would make lovely songs.
that is such sweet music to these ears and I thank you my friend for what is indeed a great compliment on my little scribble .. x
So very true Neville.
Andy
Many thanks my little golden wonder ๐
