Heard it on the Radio....

Doggerel Dave


Notice of absence from Doggerel Dave
I do return sometimes... occasionally...

His life changed forever –

Yet another cliché

No need for endeavor,

Change – life (did it my way..)

    Well said Dave or should I say Frank. Short and sweet. Loved it.

    • Doggerel Dave

      Thanks Soren. Thought that phrase has been worn to death, but...there it was this morning, said with feeling....... aaah!

    • Poetic Licence

      As he himself would be, straight to the point, enjoyed the read

      • Doggerel Dave

        Thanks for the support...after all 'twas really just a cry of frustration.

        • Poetic Licence

          You are very welcome

          We all have our own ways Dave.

          • Doggerel Dave

            Completely nailed it, Andy - many thanks.

            My life changed forever when I got Fido! lol.

            • Doggerel Dave

              I'm terrified he might actually be real............................................................

              • orchidee

                He is harmless - unless poets don't use the 18+ when they should! lol.

                • Doggerel Dave

                  I'm sure we have been here before - you should train him to bark loudly when someone puts an 18+ where there has been no salacious material at all. Total disappointment......

                • Cheeky Missy

                  Hahaha. Who doesn't do it their own way? Lovely little rhymed quatrain, capably and eloquently detailing this fact. Beautifully rendered a haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing!

                  • Doggerel Dave

                    Precicely. Although there exists elements of conformity out there (probably more than you estimate - it depends on whose company you keep) but certainly none round here (except for the basics , which prevent my head from a kicking!!)
                    No, thanks for your support.

                    • Cheeky Missy

                      My daddy was a Hippie. Let that tell you about where I come from and conformity.

                      "Like Frankie said, I did it my way." - Jon Bon Jovi, It's My Life. Love the poem(s)...and the Sinatra reference! Well done, my friend! 🌹👏

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        Just a cry of irritation and proof that I\'m still alive, Trestan.
                        Grateful for the support, though.

                        • Tristan Robert Lange

                          You're welcome my friend.

                        • NafisaSB

                          with you, my friend it's no other way than 'My way or the highway'
                          so stay original and true to self, and live life the way you want -
                          change when you want to, no one else is in charge of your life but yourself, which is as it should be

                          • Doggerel Dave

                            Very perceptive, M'lady. However I do suffer from the delusion that I'm reasonable and flexible, so please try to humour me just a tiny bit...😜

                            • NafisaSB

                              well, I have to take your word as the gospel truth..lol
                              Glad to know you are reasonable, and flexible; that's the best way to live a happy life
                              stay safe, healthy and happy
