What’s a moment that made you question reality?

Was it long ago or just recently,

I’ll have to think while I brew my tea,

It seemed so safe and secure,

But really it was like a pile of ordure,

I’m not talking about a relationship

No my psyche is in good shape,

From break ups,shame and many a sad day

I’ve managed to get by and walk away,

I’ve  managed to crack that ego thing,

After all it’s just drug dealers bling,

To crime I never did resort,

Too scared of the police and a lawyer’s retort,

I watch in horror the reports of crime,

And think why do people waste their time?

However. there are many things that beggar my

belief,

The least of all is a grimey thief ,

For possessions they are just a badge of honour,

To display with pride in our little corner,

I’ve moved on from that and have boosted my

sanity,

By questioning wealth and unfettered vanity,

The entitled may smile and turn up on T.V.

For them that is their justification and reason to

be.

That is a moment and value I have left behind

For now my priority is this grapefruit rind,

The moment,is now  and I just can’t believe it

I’m having my breakfast ,having risen from my

pit,

And it could be worse but I still can’t

understand ,

Why my blooming  coffee always taste’s so bland!

(actually it was very nice coffee,but I needed to make a rhyme).

What’s a movie you expected to hate but ended up loving?

Why would I watch a movie I expected to hate, surely the opposite is more likely to happen?

However,I’ve wracked my brains and I suppose Ghostbusters was a movie I didn’t think I’d like but it was brilliant.

There were many reasons I thought I wouldn’t like it. Never a fan of Bill Murray and the story seemed ridiculous,so it really did surprise me.I was totally slimed.

What is the meaning of life?

Oh you can have all your fancy thoughts,

So many in number they have lots of noughts,

You can try and justify why you’re here,

Or perhaps  reason is controlling your  fear,

For mysteries and dangers do abound

Just ask your beautiful trusty hound

They know an awful lot and understand more

It’s all got to do with ancient lore

There’s mysteries and to be honest madam

It all comes down to ectoplasm.

What’s a word or phrase that annoys you?

I don’t expect anyone to delve unnecessarily into the murky world of British Politics.There are enough problems in the World without spending time looking at the underbelly of a sordid mess created by greedy,manipulative power hungry sycophants backed by an ex patriot living in Thailand.

However I am annoyed at the misuse of the word “reform”.To me reform means getting rid of something bad(like slavery) and replacing it with something good.

Unfortunately, the reform, the Reform Party is talking about is going backwards…enough said and I am irritated by it.

How do you plan the perfect road trip?

To plan the perfect road trip ,

This is what I’d do

Firstly I’d order my maps online,

You need to do this in plenty of time ,

The destination is wi-fi free,

So paper is your only option really ,

A large table and some coloured pin heads.

And.a good supply of headache meds,

For there will be arguments galore,

“But I want to go to Lahore!’

No we’ll do that another day!

Be serious !Milan isn’t exactly a 100miles away.

I read Korea is very near,

We’d run out of gas would be my biggest fear.

And then the dreaded toll barriers

And how about spotting those red feathered harriers?

By the time we’ve covered every option ,

In the words of “Squeeze”.We’re up the junction!

Then someone  said mum’s sixty on  the twenty   

fourth

So cancel our booking on the ferry from Porth

We’ll have to hang around to celebrate with

cheer,

I think she’s sixty. the sweet old dear.

Yes plans and preparations and much lost hair ,

But eventually we will arrive somewhere.

What’s a moment that made you realize you were stronger than you thought?

I wish I could be Popeye,

And stop a tree with one arm,

Muscles bulging

Stopping any harm.

Not that I want to be a hero

That would not interest me

Just being a cartoon,

Would be the thing you see,

Making people smile at the crazy things I did

And tearing off the spinach tin lid,

With gleaming teeth and a winning smile ,

Especially to win my  dear Olive in style,

And then there was that moment I feared ,

That reality unfortunately had me seared,,

To school and work I must go ,

To play my part in society,

And in one moment of clarity,

I realised ” strength” is facing reality

It quite took my breath away,

But it got  me through the day.

What’s a simple pleasure in life that brings you joy?

We forget amongst the paraphenelia of outward appearance and performance that to hold someone’s hand is very special.

If you could erase one movie from your memory and watch it again for the first time, which one would it be?

The film ,The Sting so I wouldn’t know the ending.

How do you stay motivated when learning something new?

Never be embarrassed if you don’t understand something The likelihood is no one has taken the time to explain it properly,or didn’t really understand it in the first place and were therefore incapable of explaining it to you.

That is the secret of learning. Find something that works for you.

The motivation comes from that eureka moment where you realise that you’ve “got it”.

Though remember, you never stop learning

What’s a book that completely surprised you?

It’s the only modern book that I have read cover to cover and did not want to put down.So it surprised me as I very rarely can do that.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading🙏
