Benjamin Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 give me relief from unimaginative prattle from those who haven't read a book since school and only vote on talent shows from acres of tattoos and wobbling flesh with cell phones where an ear should be from peeping thongs and artificial breasts with osmond teeth from payday loans no win no fee but most of all the masochistic love affair of agatha christie and t/v and save me sun on a new born day with blackbirds high on the roof to break the silence of dawns air with simplicity and truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_con Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 I chortled! Really a delight and a rant of age/wisdom. It feels 'right' although, as we have learned, voting on talent shows- may be the only place it actually counts;-) (aplogies for the cynical stance, too deep in collapse theology @ the moment) Quote thegateless.org Come on over and check out my poetry substack y'all;-) Or if your bored, head to the Zazzle store: https://www.zazzle.com/store/gateless. If you buy anything I lose a bet, so consider that before you violate the digital rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted May 14, 2014 Author Share Posted May 14, 2014 Spent some time recently in hospital under the auspices of our excellent NHS. Had time to reflect on a few things, particularly the stale fare of t/v. Glad I had a good book to read. Meanwhile back at the ranch ,I took a liberty and added some lines.

tonyv Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 We can never take the mute button for granted, Geoff. Whoever invented it should be sainted. Tony PS - Sometimes I point the remote at individuals around me and press mute. If only it worked that way!
