⥠Did you write this yourself, old sage? Oh if only! This is Shakespear's 'to be or not to be' I've just changed the begining, I hope the Bard will forgive me. I am a lover of poetry in all its forms, so much can be expressed through verse. Love, humour, nature, war and death it is all there in Birthday /Christmas/Valentine/ In sympathy cards, the childhood nursery rhymes that we all learnt as children, the sonnets, plays and poems written by famous and ordinary folk, they speak to the reader or listener and can touch all of our emotions. Take courage as you start out single again, life is a road full of pot holes you would have to be an exceptional traveller to avoid them all, the trick is to climb out of them and continue your journey with renewed confidence the prize at the end is that you know you have lived life to the full.............. Good luck...............   Old Sage  [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jan 8, 2012 3:08:36 PM] |

old sage- as a horrible amateur I have tried my hand making poems - not very good, but then again it was amateur stuff - but it was a strange new way of expressing what was difficult to express otherwise - and reading poems never said me as much as it does now ... - only: I'm lousy at Shakespeare - we did Hans Christian Andersen over William ♥ Thank you for your advice - I'll try to pick my potholes with care - but being me, I shall definitely slip into a few - may they not be too deep for my shock absorbers  |

Good morning everyone, Merling Day is here again,so,,,Goodbye Pension... Moaning all.................... Don't go speeding to Morrisons Ted THE HIGHWAYMEN OF CLEVELAND In my car I started out in 1952, Now half-a-century's almost passed and I am feeling blue. I've reached the age of 72 with no blot on my name, Now I've just received a fine, I hang my head in shame. Five miles too fast was all it took to make the camera flash, Then they played it by the book and demanded all my cash. Perhaps I've been a little naughty, it was an oversight, But wanting money - pounds times forty - means I can't sleep at night. I'm not really one to shout, I do have bread well buttered, But if for months I can't eat out, I'll be well and truly gutted. I know how much they need my cheque, I've also heard a rumour, But really they've made me a wreck, do they have no sense of humour? 75 pence the government gave me, enough for a bag of nuts, I know my efforts will not save me, but at least I had the guts. Dick Turpin in the days gone by was not a man to talk, "Stand and deliver" he would cry, 'til they hanged him high in York. In 2012 it's now not so awful, they only want your cash, And how'd they know you'd been unlawful? 'Twas the highly dreaded flash. Unlike Turpin, I'll not hang, nor shall I face suspension, But forty pounds is an awful lot to pay out of my pension. The three points' penalty as well, I think I'll take up pottery, To while away the boring hours, And hope I win the lottery.

OK I suppose I was feeling a tad sensitive but my feeling was that there are places for fellow chrunchers on a particular site and plenty of others to have separate conversations.
