Hi Phil, this is a very nice story, I did enjoy reading it. Down the way from my home, is a mini lake, where people fish and birds hang out, and all the plant life is just as you say.I try and drive past it everyday. Then down about 3 miles is a very large lake, where you can see boats everyday and people at play, but one side of the lake is wet lands, the other, is some sort of refinery belching smoke.Huge comercial type buildings, that mess up the looks and life of it all.I loved your story! thanks

Comment is about the pressure to look good (blog)

wow, what a rant! Peter, you have painted a pictur of some men I knew once. Very funny type! This is not a poem about you, unless you have changed a bunch, and for the worse Id say.
I had to laugh all through the poem,as I could remember the type, Very good poem very funny, to me any way!

Nicely done. I now am forced to think twice about making any journey in the car becaise of fuel costs. Take the bus?.. doesn't go where I need to be and the ticket prices reflect fuel as well.

Comment is about the pressure to look good (blog)

Antonio, there is lots of oil in Canada. The problem with the oil here is that needs to excrete from the oil sands. The process is very costly, but in Fort Mac Murray the production of oil is ongoing. All of it goes to USA, and we have to purchase back from them so we pay through our noses for the litre of gasoline...This is true and surely makes me think where is the sense in all of this? You have brought great subject in your poem, as it is current dilemma. I am not sure how Europe deals with the cost for oil. Really have no clue, but here everything is soaring- Food doubled the prices, as we do not grow much of veggies and wheat in our Country because the season of vegetation is to short. All imports from other Countries, which is more expensive yet? Thank you for the fantastic write.

Kind Regards,
Zuzanna

Cool poem, but I dont think they let Americans, vote on the issue. I will say that tree huggers did push it through and loby for it. Democrats were more for it, then republicans. I believe brazil uses it more, but its made from sugar cane.Most Americans are really pissed off by the deal, signed into action in 05 by congress and passed off to Bush, a total fool, that purchased his college diploma, to sign.
Things will not change as long as greed and power mongers rule the world. you made me have to think, great stuff man! thanks

Lets not forget that Ethanol is even more damaging to the environment than oil when used as a fuel. No easy solution, but as long as it wins votes... they don't care.

HI Antonio, Nice poem. I enjoyed her songs, but felt sad and at times repulsed by her actions. Poor thing seems to enjoy abusing herself, she and she alone will pay the price, for drugs and drink.She is to thin, and looks sick all the time.

It's sad when your rejected by the groups that claim to be inclusive of everyone no mater who they might be. There is a ring of truth about this one.

Original item by Malpoet

HI Phil, great work! It is an imbalance and very sad. We seem to have some of that same problem here too. The Boy scouts, an old wonderful club, just for boys, is being sued all the time, for teaching values, and wanting to be exclusive to boys, with male leaders. Men and boys need to be just that, men and boys.
thanks

Nice ..... This is very much like the "lads" trip away. To the football, or in my case a fishing trip (june) or powerkitesing (week tomorrow) where the wives are left behind and we can revert to boys again.

Great commentry about a talented singer who has hit the self destuction butten before her career reached the summit.

She even turned down Nelson Mandella. She probably thought he wrote a column in a newspaper. (I'll use that)
