I don't know what "covided" means.
You have Covid?
Anyway, my poems fluctuate from serious to funny,
depending on the phase of the Moon.
Hence the "Moonlight" poem.
(it's as good an excuse as any.)
I am shocked that you are still reading my poems.
Haven't you any thing better to do?

Hello DK! Not covided ,just too many weeks of far too hot weather, well over 30C every day. Now am coming back to life again, as it is cool at night so one can sleep. How do you know she's plotting? What clues have you found? Gave my husband, unintentionally, please believe me!!!! an overdose of something he takes, and he behaved like a lamb for a week. The family all think it was a trial run! Can't you outsmart her? What happened to the big hole you dug in the yard, found another use for it? Liked Moonlight. You've become quite serious lately, just old age?

Most enjoyable -
Like the comfort of a down-filled pillow
The caress of leather stroking willow.
In hope that the future stays the same
Play up, play up - and play the game! ?

Aberfan was truly terrible. Britain was built on coal, South Wales literally so.
Mining is a hazardous business. But let's look forward to harnessing the natural resources - wind, sun, water.

There is an obvious and very sculpted level of detail here. Verse two is brilliantly done. Bravo!

Thank you, Nigel, for this remarkable sequel. One can't really blame the cats, being outnumbered ten to one. Perhaps we might call it 'What King Rat did next'?
And thanks to Julie, Rudyard and Holden for liking this poem.
It is not based on anyone in particular, but on memories of 'odd folks' living in our road when I was young. In all probability, they were not odd at all. They just seemed that way.

Really original poem. I see another (perhaps the original) Olympic sport in coconut throwing, with 27 gold medals for various distances and weights. Too late for Paris 2024? Who knows, if Small Bore Rifle Shooting is in (I always miss).

It was in the heat of August that she last left a comment
and lo it is now September and the leaves are starting to
turn brown and the grass is dying and still he had not heard
a word. He wondered if she had Covid or just got fed up.

I'm a sucker for anything dealing in language, so this drew my attention. Original, witty, with a great title.
The Bible would have it as 'God'. I reckon it was 'Fuck', simply because it's such a versatile word, one that has multiple meanings and is phonetically very satisfying in any number of situations (including assault by coconut). ?

Thanks both.
Telboy - Brexit was a Tory idea designed to win an election. It worked, but they never expected it to go through. Covid? What can I say? For a party who won an election on a border control issue, they failed spectactularly on protecting those borders (and the population who voted them in). Afghanistan? Trump's decision, backed up by Biden, dithered over by the UK. So yeh difficult, but almost all of their own making, so zero sympathy.
Yes they are aren't they? Repetitive 3 word slogans, propaganda and hegemony really DO work. Huh, who knew? Erm...

Difficult period of office with Brexit, Covid, Afghan. And for all their faults they are more popular with the public as a whole than Labour still under Corbyn's shadow.

He was a fantastic wordsmith. I don't think that he was afforded the respect he deserved.
I can half remember one where someone is chasing his runaway wife. It went something like " he went by boat, he went by plane and by hell-'e-copt'er".
