Socks soft and warm
can comfort souls
the thicker the sock
the less the holes.

Dr. Seuss turned over in his grave today and said he wants you to stop pretending to be him for a day.

Please heed his wishes.

Thank you.?

A "Low" is cow conversation.
otherwise known as "Moo".

"their lows mellow.)

Your experience may be something different.

Hi Don
I appreciate the time taken to leave a comment on Brexit TV.
I'm useless at critiquing, and write (as I think you may) pretty much to entertain myself.
I doubt I'll ever be a 'poet', but enjoy the occasional recital.
The major benefit from writing and reciting poems is that I met my wife through WOL

The poem described as written
makes folks wonder why I bothered,
Wasted time, both theirs and mine
in one ear and out the other.

Yes, there are different
degrees of Homelessness.
Some forced into it.
Some choosing it.
For some, Home is a shopping cart.
For others, it's a page and a pen.
