Always a pleasure to read Marie,
While out walking with a plasterer cast on my arm.
I noticed someone else had the same,
My carol didn't think it funny,
As I glanced at him and said. "snap"
He did though... Regards Alan

Dear Kathy I was washed with the sadness of this
You are very brave to be able to find the courage to
write through the anguish and the pain
It's such a lovely prayer and although you wrote this long ago
Our hearts goes out to you for your loss
Regards Carol and Alan
Thank you so much for sharing xxxx

Who Will Switch Off The Lights When It Dies? by M.A.Meddings

2024-06-02
I found this poem today
Which is very strange
I think in a good way
It's as though all the other poets
Have gone very far away
As no one else has published
So far today on poetbay
For all the people who read this
Where are they all today
Or will I be like them
Disappearing from our yesterdays
Or maybe this is a wake up call
For one and all on poetbay
Thanks for sharing
Regards Alan

Cheddar Man

2024-05-27
I remember when I was young
Taken to cheddar to see the cheddar man
Years later it was proved to be a fake
Although The cheddar man was real
What they displayed in cheddar was
I believe a copy of the piltdown man
Which in 1943 was proved to be a fake

We British would just nod our head's,
We've heard the jokes before.
Our government holds the cards,
While they want us all to convert to metric.
The approach to all our roundabouts,
Are non metric but feet and yards.

ONE DAY TIME WILL END

2024-04-19
Hi Allen. Only in the sense that time itself

Who invented time anyway?
Does he still hold the patent.
Or like time itself has it run out.
