The problem with Donald
It seems to me
Is that he has no friends
Who treat him honestly.
The World can see
This little man
Sinking into dementia
Raging against the dying light
It's a pitiful sight
Remove him today
Put a Club in his hand
Let him play
Out of harms way.

Leaves open on trees
Warm winds caress the flowers
Spring gently unfurls

I don't like Mondays,
Went the song
A while ago
Back then I did agree
Now I take 'em
As I find 'em
And react
Accordingly
If it's sunny
Out of bed I leap
And throw the curtains wide
If it's foul weather
I go back to sleep
You can
When you're retired...

I like the quiet times
Soft evening whispers
Distant wind chimes
Sweet Pea scent
Mingled with petrichor
Laughter floating by
Mind empty of thought
Moonlight in the sky
These simple free things
At the end of the day
Settle on my heart strings
I'm happy to say

A deluded manchild from the West.
Said look at me I'm a saint, the best.
On water, tried to walk
But he sank with a squawk
And quite clearly had failed the test.

Oh dear!
Where has my muse gone?
It was here when I started to compose this new song.
Now my inspiration, once close is long gone
Disappeared into thin air,
Like it was never there,
Sometimes life just isn't fair.

You did so well
To get it in three
It took me til five
Before the penny dropped for me.

The Sun's coming over the hill
The first rays hit my windowsill
My flowers shiver in delight
Their leaves all turned
Towards the light
They only ask for water
So they can photosynthesise
Yet they provide me with such beauty
That gladdens my eyes.

There was a young hippy from Leeds
Who planted some magical seeds
Smoked some of the flowers
Sat in the garden for hours
Wearing a Kaftan and beads

Cold, cold today.
Wind off the moors,
Swooped through my clothes
And gnawed at my bones.
When I got home,
I took a while to thaw
Then, tired
Slipped into dreamland.
Peaceful and warm
Away from all harm.

Squeaky bum time today Sharon but a win is still a win!😉👍😊

Bit slow to post today
Because I've just got a new phone
At first when I got today's word
It said my run was just one
I think I've sorted it now
It's showing my actual score
I've muddled through it somehow!
We'll see what happens tomorrow...

I throw my curtains wide
See the sunrise through the trees
In the streaky eastern sky.
The Astronauts up above
See the Earth in all its beauty
And must wonder why some soulless men
See it as their duty
To destroy all that they see.
To serve their vanity.

Good morning JB, your posts are an Oasis of calm in troubled times.

Where are the checks and balances?
Where are the people that care?
Can you not see the verbal rhetoric
Is nothing but hot air.
How can you trust a leader
Who plays with dangerous toys
It's time to tell truth to power
Time to be men not fawning boys.

Good morning ve.

There are those who seek to improve the health
Of their nation and the world at large
And there are those who lust for more and greater wealth
And look for ways that they can charge
A fee for this a fee for that
Who does the most good?
Let me ask you that

Bring back Kieron Trippier as Club Captain.

I know you're slow to catch on Don
But still I shouldn't have to speak it.
Those who do not learn from History
Are destined to repeat it.
So end this war right now Don
It's one you cannot win
Scuttle back home again
Where you can still pretend to be King
