Thanks Kev, I've got a few friends who would also never wear a ring. I think it's just a personal preference thing, like you say. I've always viewed rings as significant jewellery, i.e. I would never wear one just for the sake of it, but it's also true to say they can be dangerous. I know someone who ripped a finger off by getting their ring caught on a lorry door as they jumped out of the cab, and there's a famous outdoorsman called Dave Canterbury who obviously doesn't like them either 'cos he's got his wedding ring tattooed on his third finger.

I liked this one Jason even though I have never actually worn a ring of any description myself.
I have been happily married for over 30 years, but would never wear a ring. I don't know if that makes me old fashioned or weird. It's just my personal thing.

As ever your rhyming is sublime.

Another gem.

You gotta problem Do. You're in dire straights.

You can't write a hot poem you say? See, you're not a guy Do and us fellas are more attuned to hotness. Look at Po. A Karma Sutra expert we now discover. Probably has book (well-worn) under the mattress.

Have you read any of Mika's poems? Sheesh! would make your ears blush. I actually thought she was a fella. Can you blame me Do? Mika, short for Micheal? What's that? Would be Mica? Sheesh Do, bloody hecklers.....

Now I'm good at writing hot poems. No I'm not a fella Do. Don, short for Donna. Didn't know that did you? I'm full of surprises.......

No Do, my hot poems are about bushfires......

But don't fret Do. I can't write romantic poems. You can.....

Thanks Po, so glad you liked it, it was a little message of explanation for those that keep asking. And thank you Dorothy, rings and the fingers you choose to wear them on have deep cultural significance, but also, I think it's more what they mean to you. Of all pieces of jewelry rings, I think, are the most significant.

Comment is about Vision!! (blog)

My QWERTY was flirting
With what lay below
The AS DFGH
In bed they did go

Steam from my keyboard
Arose from this patch
While ZXCVB
Just gasped as they watch (this debauchery)

Ruth can you imagine
How dumbstruck was I ?
The rest of the letters
Said let's orgy try

You're right Ruth my keyboard
Erupted in flames
Your flirtatious QWERTY
They all are to blame

Eth? Can't Ruth control her QWERTY's ?....

Look what they did to Don's keyboard...

Left him with a flamin' orgy mess.....

You need to talk firmly to your QWERTY Ruth......

You tell 'er luv......
