When it Gets That Bad it Must be Broken

Neville

When it Gets That Bad it Must be Broken

 

Had it not happened

when it happened

and how, when

and where that it did ..

Then you would

not be aware of just

how bad it can get

in a matter of seconds ..

In fact, it can get so bad

it might just as well be broken ..

    And teddy would say nothing is ever as bad as it seems my dear Nev. Excellent 🤗

    • Neville



      I take your point Teddy but try telling that to Syria, Gazza & the Ukraine mid winter, or any time of year for that matter .. Neville 🕊️🤍

      • Teddy.15

        Oh yes and then all the others who have it even worst. Agreed in any case.

        Life turns on a dime my friend. You've poured everything into this, and it grabs the reader by the shoulders, and gives a good shake. Bravely written dear Nev!

        • Doggerel Dave

          Painful reminder of a wrong place wrong time situation I'd like to keep a distant memory (it's OK - already filed away again and the drawer locked)
          Never the less I do admire the concision, Neville.

          • Accidental Poet

              Andy

              • Neville

                Yep, me marriage to KP sure is broken. It was that bad from the start. lol. If it ain't broken, don't fix it, they say. So should we try to fix our marriage?

                • Neville



                  there aint enough Elastoplast, duck tape or superglue in the looneyverse to help you achieve that Mr. O ..

                • Tom Dylan

                  This poem hits home on so many levels, Neville.

                  • Neville



                    and I apologise on so many of them Tom .. Neville 👍

                    With the quality of workmanship now days, the state of the world, complicated technology, high expectations, short duration of relationships, I'm surprised it ever worked. I assume everything is broken from the beginning and will need to be fixed or thrown out. Great write my friend the repetitive focus kept bringing me back again and again.

                    • Neville



                      there aint nothing worse than being repeatedly broken .. and I am so grateful to you for the well reasoned and largely accurate perspective you have thrown over my little scribble & wrapped it in today .. many thanks my friend .. Neville
