Learned something new today. Had no idea about this charity drive for men's health. This is a special poem you wrote David, and reading from your comment below, you promote this cause. Kudos to you!

Thanks Vijay, I’m not sure how popular Movember is across the pond, but it certainly has its steady flow of volunteers over this side, nothing too it, just grow a bit of lip hair, a no brainier for charity, cheers David

Heya Julie, and all for a good cause too, I believe it all started Down Under about 20 years ago or so, thanks so much for stopping by, cheers David

Well written David, it's a great way to highlight men's health like prostrate cancer, suicide etc. Tom

Thanks Tom I’ve done a few dodgy Tashes, over a few Movembers, it’s a good laugh and a few quid for men’s health charities, every little helps! Cheers David
