I enjoyed this poem, as I do
Posted on Wed, 16 Nov 2022
I enjoyed this poem, as I do feel the issues you describe. I could never be described as a go getter so it seems to relate to me. It is not that I would wish to stop go getters from doing or being what they are or want to be. Perhaps I do feel...

I enjoyed this moral tale,
Posted on Wed, 09 Nov 2022
I enjoyed this moral tale, and thought it was very effective. It did remind me of the scrooge story too, and another one which my wife and I read a few years ago, about a fairground repair man killed in an accident on a ride in New Jersey, in...

I did enjoy this one as well

I did enjoy this one as well Marandina. I did read it a week or more ago. You are doing very well at keeping up with Tory Party activities, and also managed to paint them in seasonal goulish shades of dark humour! Great satire, as always!

Good poem! I certainly would
Posted on Tue, 01 Nov 2022
Good poem! I certainly would not want to be a politician! It is a thankless task, with guaranteed criticism. As you say they are only human, and most of us would probably be corrupted by the role to some extent!

Posted on Mon, 31 Oct 2022
I don't quite know what to believe now? You've certainly got me dazed and confused now! This is very effective and had me convinced what reality was more than once. A story within a story, within a story. It is very cleverly done and keeps the...

Certainly this makes a strong point, and it is an interesting angle on the subject! Well worth reading! The code did seem a bit too easy in the end!

Oh yes, we knew so little
Posted on Wed, 19 Oct 2022
Oh yes, we knew so little before the internet freed us from ignorance! I detect a touch of sarcasm or tongue in cheek here! Great poem though! I imagine some of the younger people will believe it thoroughly!
