Copyright and inspiration to Wordsworth but who wouldn’t acknowledged a source.

Problem with irony is you have to get the audience ready.

So oft a gentle flow I have
For an audience I can find
I look with the inner sense
Fox always comes to mind
And so I lie on myself
And help
The boots
Help
Themselves
To tread on gentle minds
That believes
In an image
The illuminates
Poor souls
Watching flowers
As they grey old
And soft feet
Are a dream

But I never encouraged them
That they and
I never would be
in the dark
I'd never hide beneath the silk
To what
The wicked words
Would talk
and hark
In fashions dark
Of customed friends
What words they would whisper
To what end
That spoke of trust ennobled Crown
Of one who feels his words
Dumbed down
Treated beyond the miles of own
Dying for his words
On seeds
He never saw the need
In woman sown
Moving feet
To understand inches
To drive
Worlds and words
In distant smells
Of must and can
And bagatelle

So upon my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood
Everyone knows my eye

Is not invited

Here I stew

Until I turn the cooker off
And prepare another sauce
That titillates a mind
And taste buds
But of course

Thanks Susan.

Only excuse is that I did start listening to the "Velvet Underground" afterwards.

Thanks

Maybe I should go back to my roots but those were Thomas Hood and I dont think he is "PC" in these days.

Surviving Lee. In depth gut stuff I have virtually abandoned. It was taking too much out of me.

Light flowing stuff I can still write.

Dont know if it is block, I just knew it was extremely painful trying to rip the words out for in-depth words.

Jean bought me some of the real Ginseng stuff I used to get abroad and that has brightened her up on what she took, while I am still working on it, but 2000mg for me was probably a bit excessive in one swig.

Take care Lee

Understanding. I have had days when my mind took me that way.
Great expression Dave.
