I think we like to be spoon fed happiness instead of discovering simple joy in ourselves, simply giving in to worldly wants and worries. There is much within that can keep us alive and wanting precious life. You will find more happiness in markets than in supermarkets of course, so go and look for them, support them and their contributions. (I say).
Well written from the heart Keith.

To make chasing poems more simple
Shed your pyjamas as you run
Then kick off your slippers to join them
Invite everyone in on the fun
You may not catch up with your poem
Which could have the last laugh on you
But those who do join you will be many
I doubt those who join will be few ?
Clever thinking dk

Time takes no prisoners, Don - I knew a similar shock in 2018.
Best to be glad it happened rather than be sorry it's gone.

The days of the tape cassette
But I tell you one thing that "progress" got wrong -
They're perfect for putting words to a song!.

That last couplet sums up the hope for all life this winter.
Many cold nights and animals within them.
Subtle but emotion-provoking piece.?

Thanks MC and Po.
It's certainly got a bit more complicated in Parliament since the DUP got Co-op ted into power.

Great rhyming Mark. I do however love holidays but as we really only go for the sun we stick to Espana, Portuguese y Las Canarias. Me gusta!

Know the feeling - and my trusty tape recorder bears witness to my
own literary sacrifices involving leaving a warm bed to record the
words before they leave the mind (which always happens if I return
to sleep). Zzzzz.
PS I envisaged you on a tug on a salvage
operation - rather than a scooter trying to catch up. Funny how mind pictures work!

So true John. It's much easier if we can safely categorise people into the good and bad - but it ignores the complexity of humanity doesn't it. We are not good and bad. We are...
That being said, judgement is rather more difficult with so many shades of grey.
Thanks for reminding me of it so eloquently.

If brevity is truly the soul of wit your style, Tom, stretches a few words a long way. Your nod to Matthew Arnold's masterpiece of loss sent shivers up my spine - another haunting of one poet by another and me the ever-willing exorcist!
Ah, love, let us be true
To one another! for the world, which seems
To lie before us like a land of dreams,
So various, so beautiful, so new,
Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,
Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain;
And we are here as on a darkling plain
Swept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,
Where ignorant armies clash by night.
