Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
Not absent - still here!
Keep Calm and Carry On Poeming. 😂
You’re looking good when you hold forth like that;
You just confront lies with controlled anger.
What other response to a well smelled rat?
For nothing can beat some well-aimed candour.

Excellent work.
Good words Dave, I also find that apathy is a good weapon.
Andy
Don't get it, Andy - please elaborate.....
Some people expect a reaction when they try to annoy you, if you do not respond, they do not know what to do and that annoys them.
Andy
I absolutely agree with your strategy given the circumstances you outline, unless we are reacting (or not!) to rationalisations by politicians, Andy.
The four lines above (not clear enough?) were a tribute to Bella's piece 'What Is Real?':

She there, in what I believe to be controlled anger, rationally pinned just what is wrong with the political system inflicted on us today.
its not what you say, it's the way that you say it ..
by jove I think the blighters got it ..
....or something.....😉
Indeed a truth spoken. I prefer directness to minced words but then I remember Mark Twain saying that no amount of logic and convince an idiot.
Yeh - I have a feeling Mark Twain may be right - tragically.
