Signs of The Times x5
If you don’t join my gang,
I shall go and find
someone to beat you up ..
If you won’t be my friend
will you maybe
consider being my lover ..
We need far fewer walls
building these days ..
But many more bridges ..
Please take your time,
don’t hurry, life is so full
of tribulations and worry ..
Love, life and lies
foibles, follies and friction
facts we never signed up to ..

Teh first one sounds like someone that if you say 'hello' to them, he (or she) will punch you on the nose and say 'What do ya mean hello; what you up to; why you speaking to me?' (lol).
You are probably quite write Steven .. thanks for noticing .. Neville
The less control we have over our world the more we seek to control others. Another poem from the pen of a philosopher and so true it is.
You are way too kind my fine literary friend .. thank you most kindly & please accept my seasonal best to you & your gang kind sir .. Neville
A very nice and poetic statement/ reflection. best wishes, my friend!
Thanks a million and back at you too .. Neville
Hey Neville, this poem offers a poignant and insightful commentary on the complexities of contemporary life. Through a series of vivid snapshots, you address various societal and personal issues, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences and relationships. Glad our poetry and interactions bring all that into some manageable form. First responders do need bolstering, on a side note.
That side note should be hung on a flag my friend .. in fact it will be on mine .. many thanks for your visit and ongoing support .. seasons best to you n your clan .. Neville
And to you and yours! 🎄
we never read the small print in any contract we sign up to, this a reminder that maybe we should, Enjoyed the read.
Serious thanks to you my friend .. Neville
You are very welcome
Sorry Neville, speak for yourself!
No need to say sorry, I wouldn't dream of speaking on behalf of anyone else without them first asking me to & then, only if I felt there was some genuine need to advocate .. Neville
You already got me in the first stanza, where do we sign up?
There should be a dotted line somewhere .. Cheers, Neville 👍
Excellent write Nevilie
Thank you Tony36 ..
You're welcome Neville
Hear hear! And I love the alliteration! Well done my friend. 👏
Thank you kindly sir T .. Neville
You are most welcome, my friend! I hope you have a brilliant Sunday!
If, indeed, we'd signed onto this, we'd have no excuse for breathing, says me. Aptly rendered in such delightfully tasteful tercet stanzas capably conveying the essence of now, with such excellent imagery and humor to boot, we thanks thee for sharing, good Sir.
Many HUGE thank you's Missy .. Neville
Thems the times alright and sorry I've got to hurry I've got to pack.......
No worries, enjoy wherever you may be going .. unless of course, its the hospital or to prison .. if its the former just get well sharpish .. 👍
The arms of me Darlin actually....
Very true words Neville.
Andy
Thanks Andy .. Neville
Your compassion and understanding are ever present in your words, and they are truly appreciated, particularly at this time of disillusionment in the world, and in my country. Thank you my friend, I'm so glad to be back among those who care. Peace & Love!
My word how I've missed you Bella .. Thank you so much .. Peace & Love reciprocated & with my Seasonal Best to you and yours .. Neville 🧑🎄👍
this is so philosophical, and sometimes so true it hurts
wishing better luck to the recipient in the coming year. .merry X'mas and look forward to 2025 with hope and cheer
thank you kindly dear friend .. and a happy new year to you and to your gang too .. Neville
