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.

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!

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.....
