What’s the longest book you’ve ever read?

It all started in my history class,

I became a long book bad ass,

One period was not enough for me,

I decided I wanted to know World History,

So my chosen book left my classmates puzzled,

And the poor teacher totally befuddled,

‘A History of the World’ in a book was quite a

feat,

One I was determined to complete,

I can’t remember if I ever did,

In truth though I was just a kid.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.🙏

What’s the best advice you’d give to someone younger than you?

So you are younger than me,

You have your whole life ahead,

I tell you it’s a journey,

Of Roses it is no bed,

Somehow you have to find your way,

To make things better every day,

Never look gift  horses  in the mouth,

I tell you that’s a recipe for going South,

For they are feisty creatures who like to bite,

Keep your wits about you and you’ll be alright,

Plenty will tell you that  you’re going bad,

And my friend  that is  just a little sad,

Who knows why people do what they do?

Remember it isn’t always to do with you.

I know you think I’m past my best,

I’m lucky now I can have a rest ,

Your time is now and use it well,

Dreads and Fears you must quell.

No one knows everything,

But to life,  good is what you should  bring.

What’s one thing that would instantly improve your city?

First let’s get this very clear,

I don’t live in a City my dear,

No not New York,Paris or London,

They’re faux pas and rather hum-drum,

Saying hum-drum I’m just being polite,

Actually their detritus really reaches quite a

height,

So to my Town I must refer,

Firstly I’d consult with the Mayor,

They change every year and are ceremonial,

But their  interest is truly baronial,.

They walk around with a gold  chain

And pose for photos with a grimace of pain,

They love their town and want it to thrive,

But those councillors make it such a dive,

Sack them all I say they must,

Their massive budget has already gone bust.

The Mayor should be in charge,

To bring the canal back and a Mayoral Barge,

Our Town needs to celebrate its’ maritime

genealogy

I’m tired of hearing about its’  Railway Pedigree.

Boats and all sorts of crafts should be our aim,

Trains after all are really inane!

So let’s get moving and set sail,

Forget about that standard gauge rail.

That building that was a Railway Museum

Has surely had its’ day and is out of steam.

What’s the longest trip you’ve ever taken?

The longest trip I’ve ever taken,

Is to a place I’d long forsaken,

It used to be my home and had many

rememberances

Childhood thoughts and sentimental resonances,

You see it was a trip I had to make,

To a place I thought I knew and wasn’t fake,

Now having made it I realise,

That place has gone and I can’t reprise,

Go back in time and  no matter  how much I

strive,

I start my trip but I can never arrive.

What’s your best tip for budget travel?

Crikey,well what is budget travel?

There’s so many clauses and catches to unravel,

I picked up my plane ticket Online,

From a nice friendly man who gave the name of

Ryan,

It seems all I bought was space for one  foot,

And  to get a seat they needed more loot,

For on a  plane there is no standing,

Apparently it ruins take-offs and landings

And at the airport I paid a fee,

Even terminal dropping off is not free,

So travelling on a budget is it possible anymore?

I suppose for most the point is sore,

Even pensioners now cannot guarantee,

That their  bus pass will remain free.

Who is your favorite cartoon character?

A simple answer, Sylvester the Cat, whose nemesis was Tweetie Pie, the fiesty little canary.

How does your mindset affect your financial success?

Some find money a bore,

And managing it such a chore,

Others never leave the house,

Without checking the contents of their purse,

And if  their shares have risen today,

Or from their boss they need  a rise in pay.

Times  they seem to be so  tough,

Our   planned Economy is in the rough

It’s no time to purchase anything new,

For dinner perhaps vegetable stew,

To answer your question is such a wheeze,

My mindset tells me that I must squeeze,

Every cent  out of every dollar

Just to keep my head up above the water,

I suppose that doesn’t help Society’s growth,

Still I trust me more than the  Politician’s oath

If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?

Our dog talks to us all the time,

He’s only quiet when things are fine,

However if there is something odd or maybe

amiss,

Then I guarantee it will make him hiss,

Well maybe it’s more of a humph or groan,

I’m so glad he doesn’t have a mobile phone,

Complaints would be rampant and orders rife,

Our lives would turn bitter and full of strife,

Instead he turns his back to us,

All because we didn’t make a fuss,

When that ball we threw he proudly fetched,

Then a mouth of sand he duly retched,

It was all our fault we’re beside the sea,

He really only likes the big country,

With lots of trees and a little lake,

Why are we here for Heaven’s sake.

Oh yes I know his conversation well,

At the moment he’s fuming and we can go to hell!

Have you ever regretted reading a book — which one and why?

I don’t think Catcher in The Rye was for me,

Perhaps too close to home it turned out to be,

A confused youth who misses the point,

An adolescent who gets sick having a joint,

Rejects the World as full of phonies,

While his dad makes money backing dead cert

ponies,

His World is there to explore,

Misinterpreting Burns is such a bore,

There was no truth ,

Just misspent youth,

The truth is you can’t escape,

And life happens and isn’t fake.

What’s the best and worst airport you’ve been to?

I’ve been have been to more  airports than I thought. I liked them all.My first flight was with Aer Lingus when I was five. I flew  with my aunt to Dublin from what was  then Abbotsinch,later renamed Glasgow Airport. Dublin Airport was beautiful and still is.

Think I flew from Glasgow Airport to the Isle of Man,don’t remember much about the Airport at the Isle of Man.All airports are exciting though.So it wasn’t bad.

I’ve been to Heathrow,Gatwick and Bristol Airport.Must have arrived at  Girona- Costa Brava Airport too on a 18-30 holiday in Lloret de Mar.Oh and a sneaky trip to Edinburgh Airport to deliver something for a Company I worked for

All in all I look at Air Travel as  really  glamorous ,so Airports are glamorous. I don’t travel very often and intend to keep it that way and keep my misty-eyed love of airports!

Namaste and Thank You for Reading!
