Re: To be a child again...

This week, it is 23 years since Mum died, so spare a thought for Bena. What a beautiful photo Michael. She looks like a film star. Last week was 10 y...

Solong wrote you be right, 4 is the one. But the better half is the second half. Please understand that far -away folk like Geoffrey, who never even studied Latin at school, nor Law at Uni (oh, bugger, just remembered I never went there )would have benefitted greatly from your explanation of "...

Re: To be a child again...
The only problem in recalling things from childhood is it sort of gives your age away ;-) . Damn! We have to be philosophical at this stage, and realise that age is just for sour French cheeses. It's interesting to reflect that we were still in junior school when that album you didn't reference cam...

Re: To be a child again...
that poem was quite nice, karren. michael's suggestion for a different ending should be treated with suspicion. you realise that should you delete your verse and replace it with his, he will immediately claim a percentage of the royalties. Thank you G. I hope you are well... Something I learned her...

Re: To be a child again...
Hi Diane
I'm glad you enjoyed it. The only problem in recalling things from childhood is it sort of gives your age away .

Re: To be a child again...
Hi Karren, nice to see you and well done. Strangely, it was in your final stanza that your timing went missing. You can recast that easily Instead of "Adults tell you 'Just you wait, when you grow up life will be great'. They sell you dreams; say you can fly... Buyers beware, it's all a lie&qu...

To be a child again...
To be a child again... What happened to those lazy days of playing games and daisy chains. Long hot summers, Christmas snow, I often wonder where'd they go. Slides and swings, and climbing trees, grubby hands and dirty knees. Shiny wellies, sparkly bangles, Sherbet lemons, Bon Bons, Spangles. Just t...

Re: Bob Dylan New Album 'Rough and Rowdy Ways'
Well Hartmut, It looks like it's a double album but of only 10 songs, though taking into account the length of some of the tracks I'm not surprised it will be on two discs.
Roll on 19th June...

Re: Bob Dylan 'I Contain Multitudes'
You're welcome Kush. Dylan does bring the story to life with some of his descriptive lyrics. You think those that died just drowned, but he tells how many sustained injuries as the ship tilted and some at the hand of other passengers. Quite a disturbing song really, but that's Dylan... I have to adm...

Ponder words, ye all, take joy from them.

What more can I tell ya? I sleep with life and death in the same bed Instead of the drip drip...I would have preferred an album. The Tempest was very good. I would like to see a new album too.
