Ha, Ha answered this before and this is one I remember. Herradine. Only one thing has changed I’d quite like also to be known as the Italian for Garden, giardino!

I’ve got news for you, work and making others work is passe.

We should enjoy what we do, no one has the right to make anyone’s life a misery.

I’ve worked all my life and now I realise I was a cog in someone else’s wheel doing what needed to be done to earn an income. Most of it useless.

You know the worst thing though, who made my life most miserable were my peer group of fellow workers. It was them who introduced pointless competition and wanted to impress middle management with petty trophies , while middle management in turn wanted to impress senior management.

It wasn’t about doing the job , it was about making an impression.

And now, well all that’s behind me. So I can laugh at it and really I am pleased I kept my sanity.

Funny I was talking to the taxman yesterday as the final closure on my “working life” and he said when will you get your next payslip? I said I don’t get payslips I’m retired. My only source of income is my pension. It struck me , his assumption was that people would work forever. I suppose that’s what tax people believe.

Perhaps there is a lesson there too.

Diversity as there are so many of them.

I could pick that sock up off the floor

But finding it’s pair would be such a bore

I could tidy all my fluffy sweaters

Just to prove my worth to all my betters

I could wash the dishes in the kitchen sink

That would make him indoors think

Those letters that have remained unopened

They might not be bills but a regular stipend

I don’t know where I put those cloths I bought

But to dust is something I really ought

And then there’s the garden

And the birds need feeding

Oh hell what’s that noise I hear

Think it’s bin day I fear

Another job that came to nought

The paper and plastic I forgot to sort.

Oh yet another cluttered filled day

Well words now fail me, I’ve nothing left to say.

What is your favourite animal?

My favourite animal is one that can thrive

One given permission to stay alive

That lives it’s time the way it wants

Without the threat of human taunts

That breathes fresh air and snuffles through bushes

Slides through water and lurks in rushes

Runs overland at great speed

Is opportunistic in order to feed

My favourite animals are all alive

They are so much more than the Big Game Five

In what ways do you Communicate Online?

Online Communication

Is important for the Nation

We order food and many things

On subscription and helplessly click as the cash till rings

The Bank says we’re overdrawn

We stare at the screen and begin to yawn

No problem, our parents account is just a cash cow

We’ll transfer the funds in real-time now

We want to tell our friends we are somewhere

Lost or found , travelling or not at all there

Our friends dont’ really want to know

But if they don’t look they might just miss the show

A video of you falling on ice,

They laugh and don’t think about it twice,

They scroll and move on to the next event

Was that what that Celebrity really meant?

You wait online to book a show

You’re patient because you really want to go

The Satellite is overloaded , you lose your slot

Then get sold some tickets by a pop-up bot,

Their fake but you don’t find out until it’s too late

When you are refused entry at the gate.

So I love my WordPress it seems so clean

And everyone is nice and no one is mean

There is a lesson for us all on here

That information is never free and truth is very, very dear.

I’m not in the mood to think back

I want to have a change of tack

To live in the moment is what I do

I thoroughly recommend it now to you

There’ll come a time to consider the past

Tomorrow when having your normal repast

You’ll see an article about a town

You remember a long time ago, there you were bound

The road was long , the trip was sad

Though you don’t remember anything particularly bad

It wasn’t a holiday , or even for work

Luckily the vehicle never lost it’s torque

You travelled along at an even pace

Happy to be out of the rattus race

Arrived, the Town itself seemed half asleep

And the local pond seemed very deep

You stopped to feed the birds and couldn’t help but smile

Their excited flutters made it all worthwhile.
