Hello to all, I have posted this write, of which content has Been sourced from conversations and comments with Andrea, I hope I've got the right balance and an idea of Her way of Interacting..? Let's see her reaction.' Watch This space I suppose is the watchword..)
Joe.; Making friends can be Hard I'm told, with keeping them harder; than finding, where hens teeth are sold! Andrea.. Maybe it's hype the bonding thing? Yet there seemed wot truth in listening Joe..Specially when we're getting old, as silver threads replace the gold; when weather's rough As days grow dim; could the better hearts have the thicker skin? When the bend in the road Is tight and long, do the others wait and call us on? Will they tell you there are brambles and you're shoes could be Better? Will they support Your journey in spirit and to the letter.? As sand can clean up rusted steel, so in the blast furnace see it to glass congeal! again it's base Is sand to start; but the time in fire strengthens it's heart Through it's lens the Worlds to view; it can be somewhat pane'd Twist me and you,.' Joe Did I say that.'? Andrea You know you did.' Put me on the spot with grumpy old Sid.' Joe.. Hmm I guess your write.. Then so oft you are, as can be lawyers that stand at the bar' Andrea.. What's that to do with what we've said? Joe.. Well you are what you eat I've heard it said..Andrea.. Stop talking in riddles, I find there no rhyme' Joe..Look hush a little.. Here take this thyme..' Shan't and won't..' Joe it's best you do.' it adds to the taste of the fish either fried or stewed..' Oh suit yourself then, and sit awhile.) You could have told me off you know.' I've quite thick skin it could have been Just for show.' Andrea Well I'm not like that and I didn't know..' Joe Do you think I know all that much? I just watch, move stop; listen..For the Masters touch.' Andrea How does He make His prescence known.? I Mean He must be well beyond the phone.' Joe.. Yes quite.. Of course.. Yet you never know I heard Him speak through a karaoke so.' Andrea..Really..? Seems odd.. And being God..' Joe Well why not? He's been to pubs before.' It's not that He can't see through doors.. Or walls come to that.' Cause in all of existence That's where He's at.' Though you fly to highest heaven He'll be waiting 7 to 7.' If the seas great depths you go to He'll be there, while still running the show. Andrea You make it Sound a common affair.' Easy to find, and always there.' And yet I look and have never seen.' Joe.. Yes I understand, yet there's never been a time when Yahweh cant appear. He never changes He makes that so clear.' Andrea Hey you look so small from across the pond.' Joe..That's no problem we can truly be friends, I'll try always to offer cheer, and a little guidance For I truly care Andrea Well so it seems from what I know; though you not face to face and that's really so.' Joe I say don't trust me..No not one whit.' yet watch my actions and listen a bit.. For if in lies I'll be Found out, then you could swiftly turn about.' Yet if I wear as good as strong shoes, I ask Give me some credence and let's share our views.' ©Joe Maverick 29-06-2022

Thanks Joseph, some might think parts are rather oddball However..' On hearing God thru the karaoke I was trying to guide A younger man into singing stardom he was apart from his wife And had effete manners yet vehemently identified as straight I am Not the best at listening btw in crowded noise venues, but where The pursuit success took all of us was such a place (another man would sing there) really one song he could do a narrative really Do you know the piece 'are we human?' Or are we dancer.? Well after a bit the words Got to me or I was getting some of them, I got them printed off by him who wished for stardom Shortly after he got involved in all kinds of trouble, and finished off Leaving his wife completely and kids too for a man.'
