Hi Greg
Your comments on And ... & Wooing are very much appreciated
I am currently trying to summon the nerve to post Part 2 of the 'Wooing' saga. I'm holding back because it's twice the length of Part 1!!!!

Again, thanks for your time
Steve

Hiya Lynn,Colin and Benji
thanks so much Lynn for

(for Benji boy of course)
and us four could 'cornbeefed' our shins
while polishing the whiskey off!

Hope you manage ok with weather.
feel so sorry for elderly people.

Hi Lyn - thanks for commenting on 'The Unknown Child'. I've just revised several lines as I wasn't happy with the flow, but reckon it may be good enough to try recording now. Best wishes, Dave

Eh up Is - ta for your note on Equus :)

I just put a note on Anthony's profile but I'll repeat mesen here. That last verse isn't entirely obvious, but may seem so because we are all aware of the phrase 'all the pretty horses'. The phrase actually originates from an African American lullaby, sung by a female slave taking care of her master's children, and unable to look after her own due to that. Kind of an analogy with general enslavement. Worth looking up if you don't already know it :)

See yas tomorrow night anyhow :)

Hi Anthony

Thanks for your note on Equus :) Yeh, once I looked up a list of horse breeds, the names were so poetic that I just had to use them...and of course, the geographical areas they originate from are just as poetic! Serendipitous? ;)

I tried to sneak a little analogy in with enslavement in that last verse as it goes...do you know the origin of the phrase 'all the pretty horses'? If not, well, it's an African American lullaby, sung by a female slave taking care of her master's children, and unable to look after her own due to that. Worth looking up if you don't already know it :)

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment - I like the rhythm too :D

Greg, the 'Plato' comment was a quick one. But the idea was that, apparently, Plato valued hugely the effect that a poem had on the reader, while Aristotle championed the individual identity of the poem, its self-contained structure. Age-old argument, eh? It was just something I remembered because it really interested me.

Re: 'Ten Minutes' - thanks heaps - I missed the extra 'can' totally. There were only 'happy mother' moments. For me, the real challenge was not to allow those moments to be overpowered by the negative situations - and there were many, many, many of those. I cannot believe any person, or any life experience, is all bad unless we choose it to be so.

cum what a god awful abbreviation. come. to come. to achieve climax, its got to be worth spelling properly.
some young thing i knew once said 'have you cummed?' i kept this info. private for a long time for shame...but now i want to expose this incredibly embarrassing misuse of words and grammar. i cannot sleep with anybody who does not understand how to use the past participle of a verb as wonderful as 'come'.
spunk is still spunk. for all my talk truth is i havent seen any since the 80s ;)

Hi Cynthia, thanks very much for your comments on Song of the Ofsted Inspectors. Always morale-boosting to see you looking in. As for Plato, well ... I have to confess that I dropped out of philosophy after one year at uni. Maybe it's time I gave him another look. Greg

Hi Cynthia, 'Not Guilty as Charged'. Much appreciate the comments. A lot of ground covered in a relatively short space here and, the 'i' in my first stanza supposedly represents the detached observer over aeons of time. CHEERS.

Glad you liked "Serendipity and Happenstance". I chose the very simple ballad form as it seemed to complement the subject matter nicely.

Hi Win. Just to add a little rider to Dark Nights. My Mum told me that my grandad once dropped his false teeth down the tippler and fished them out with a stick ,cleaned them up with boiling water and put them back in!
It didn't affect him 'cos he lived to a good age but he did talk a load of shit though! Ha! Ha!
