Thanks Tom. I was thinking about the poets I admire that have left WOL because they lost connection or worse, through censorship. Big Sal, Wolfgar, ElPintor, Devon, Whiskey... you are missed.

This nostalgic whimsey just 'floated through my mind' this past week.
And I liked it enough to try and capture it in words. Surely, I'm not the only one.

My heart is in my body
My mind is in the air
Janet's saying blip..blip
Whatever is that there?

Don't panic pilot Janet
Your spaceship's not on course
Collision-wise with my mind
Which would make matters worse


What's 'e talking about Eff?....

Dunno luv. Seems he's off with the pixies....

I had a pixie visit me the other day Eff.....gave me daisies and a Tesco voucher....

Thanks, Don, for the welcome.

If it takes too many lines
To say what you mean
You’ll lose the audience,
Keep them keen.

Rollercoaster's getting tinseled up for a Christmas ride Do (as well as an oil and grease change)

Some WOLers think this Like-Minders Society (which I invented at great expense to my neurons) is just a figment of my imagination. Silly old Aussies they say. What do you say to that Do? Thale says Oh ye of little faith.

Another WOLer thinks this is turning into a Twitter feed. This is how true poets communicate in the digital age I say. No sense of humour Do.

Lucy L (our LMS Head of Publicity) says jeez Don, if it's good enough for Mr President of Whatsit it's good enough for us.

Sheesh Do she's downing another double whiskey

?

You taking this in Po ? No sense of humour some lot......

Enjoyed this poem Don. My Grand dad was a postman as well as a playwright and he passed that art of letter writing on to my mum who in turn, gave that to me and I haven't lost it yet! Handwriting is very good for brain function in fact, and it is exciting to get an actual letter. I wrote a poem about letters a while back, must find it.

I think I'll start the 'actual letters club' next year!

get laughed out

I've just arrived in town Joe
Drink whiskey, fat and smoke
And happen to be doctor
Need money. Am flat broke

You say you're doctor-looking
I'm here, I fit your bill
Certificate in surgery
Can give you plenty pills

How'my going with 4-liners Joe?

My nurse I'll throw in with the bill
She's sexy, low-cut dress
You wanna sign up sight unseen?
You hope she might wear less?

Don't push your luck Joe.
She's feisty and fickle.....
