Kindness.

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
I will return early January.

Today, oh what a day – I joined my local gym along the way.

And what a trouble free smooth experience it was:

Courtesy and cooperation the order of the day,

My misanthropic sociopath all but went to pause.

    A gym can do that to you. Used to work out all the time but too many moves and too many years have passed

    • Doggerel Dave

      Reinvigorate you reprobate.....

      • sorenbarrett

        Truer word never said reprobate I wear proudly. I get enough exercise cutting grass, walks, digging holes, cutting trails, sawing boards, pruning trees, digging trenches, mixing and hauling concreate as well as various other tasks.

        • Doggerel Dave

          Phew! You put me to shame.....

        • Bella Shepard

          I think beneath that misanthropic sociopathy there is a kind and loving person who perhaps just needs a good work out. Let it shine my friend, let it shine!!!

          • Doggerel Dave

            Don't bet on it Bella - still, there's quite a quantity of water between you and me, so sleep tight (I will anyway.)........😉

            • Bella Shepard

              Thank you, I will.

              Ohh I've a one-track mind - it goes prodigal, prodigal,..... lol.

              • Doggerel Dave

                Well done, orchi - release yourself from that repetitive circular thought....

              • MendedFences27

                Why do they call it a GYM? Was it named after a fella called Jim, and they got the M right. but the GY are two keys left of where they wanted to be?
                Does this mean a new beginning for DD? - Phil A.

                • Doggerel Dave

                  That got a bit technical for me this time of the morning, Phil. Had me fumbling with the keyboard for a moment there... New beginning? Only time will tell...but there is a repetitive pattern embedded in my life..as in DD....

                • Goldfinch60

                  I though about going to a gym once, but went and lay down in a darkened room until the thought went away

                  Andy

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    'Twas more than a thought, Andy, but a necessity. I'm not quite as generally active as you - no croquet, for example.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      I hope all goes well Dave an your fitness improves.

                      Andy

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        Thanks, Andy.

                      • Thomas W Case

                        Lol. Kindness goes a long way.

                        • Doggerel Dave

                          It did. For a few moments.........

                        • Thad Wilk

                          Very uplifting and
                          Optimistic indeed! 🙏😁
                          That reminds me,,
                          my membership expired??¿
                          Much enjoyed the read!! 😄
                          Best regards ✌️ Thad

                          • Doggerel Dave

                            Cheers Thad. Not totally sure that the optimism has any legs. Was a small part of a very long day....😊

                          • Doggerel Dave

                            To whom it may concern:
                            Celebrating this five minute piece momentarily at the peak of ‘Trending Now’.
                            Wonder how that decision was made?
                            Ah, I know. The self-abasing ‘confession’ - misanthropic sociopath………. Never heard of a metaphor? 🤣
