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.

Being I suffer from lexdysia,
I thourely enjoyed reading.
Not dwelling on any spelling mistakes,
Just emerging myself in your,
Thoroughly enjoyable poem.
( Yes I do know how it's spelt).

Old poets never die,
They live on in the mind's of the readers.
Sorry to hear he's passed on Allen.

Hi Allen. Only in the sense that time itself
Will appear to stop for us, or does it?
Who invented time anyway?
Does he still hold the patent.
Or like time itself has it run out.

Thanks for sharing Albert
I have several quotes from others that I like,
One of my own I've added to that list is.
Even if I was a kleptomaniac I couldn't steal myself away.

Afternoon ken
Have a good weekend, As for travelling to some
Far and distance land. I do it all the time,
Mostly in my writings From the stories from my mind.

Thanks for sharing such a horrible experience,
Nobody should have to go through this.
I think the law should be changed to castration
For this crime. Regards Alan

2024-04-01
I hope it does.

Strange thing Ngoc with my type of lexdysia,
I often find things hard to read.
Yet although I read your poetry through,
Then find I enjoyed reading the first time,
I find reading it again I like it more.

Hi ken I myself have the word excluded on one of my drafts
It's not rude or crude excluded came up in favourites
Out of the blue, How can it be excluded? And dare we ask
Excluded from what! Better be careful not to be,
Antagonist I wouldn't want to be excluded too....

2024-03-20
I agree with you, My thoughts go out to the people
That have to go through this. Thanks for posting.
Welcome to poetbay. Nicely expressed.
Regards Alan.

Historically in history both sides believe
God is on there side. faults always lay with others,
Never with themselves. Thanks for posting.

The thought process changes over time,
Whatever I try to write I cannot stop the rhythm.
Thanks for posting.

When the son took over from his dad in business.
I can still hear him say, On electrical goods.
Oh yes it has all the gubbins.

2024-02-11
Didn't there used to be one of these before?
Now what was it called....oh yes I remember,
A PROTECTION RACKET..

2024-02-11
It's amazing how little mishaps
(think she was a girlfriend of mine).
Gives us images enough,
To write such a fine rhythm.
Regards Alan

All sorts of thoughts rang through my head
As I read the title, The poem did the same.
Do electric sheep have electric dreams
A si fi book by P. K Dick nothing to do with poetry...
It's strange how a few words can invoke ones thought process.
The title alone acts like a muse inviting me in. The poem does the same.
Regards Alan

An inspirational poem. That at some time or another,
Most of us have lived through this.

Hi penfold18
Just came across this lovely poem.
If you're still out there thanks for posting.
My type of poetry.

Our old town library is kept going, Only because of the locals.
Our Eastbourne library has a underground,
Theatre They advertised for a poet's evening.
Where you could go and share your poetry,
When I arrived I noticed it was for female poet's only.
For library's to stay open people need to use them,
Government needs to step in to help libraries diversify.
Thanks for posting ken. Regards Alan.

Hi Kathy I've never thought of myself as a
Neil Diamond fan. As I read your poem
His music came alive in me.
He was and is one of the greats.
Luckily we can still enjoy his music.
Thanks for posting. Regards Alan

Hi Marie it's nice to remember the good times.

While his wife was drinking a tea..." Excusa mea
