                 apparently  somewhere else ~

Good Morning Maureen, Love a Senryu that shows that humor can be found in all times. Have you seen the latest from the World Health Organization? They announced that dogs cannot contract Covid-19. Dogs previously held in quarantine can now be released. To be clear, WHO let the dogs out. -Richard

Thank you Richard, and, that is hilarious. I love seeing Leonard Cohen being quoted around here, a perfect offering; there are some haters. xomo

I'm listening to Foreigner, at the moment, wondering. If someone else has come into your life...Love the Senryu, and your mindset.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

April 9, 2020 at 7:08 AM

Foreigner makes me want to know what love is. My mindset went pretty quickly from serious to silliness when I was writing this. Thank you Harry, keep well! xomo

Maureen, if your dogs were barking, perhaps best to go barefooted for awhile at least. Wearing someone else's shoes would certainly do that. Or did I misconstrue the Cockney reference???

Jeff Connelly

Who would have thought postal workers are essential? Maybe Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin lol. I took off today Maureen, after seven days straight of sending junk mail lol, I'm happy to see you are on fire writing YOUR words. If I may interject Maureen, YOU are YOUR MUSE. Some day I hope to meet the poet who creates your poems. YOU are YOUR own wonderful; well educated, fun filled and factual muse Maureen. I am totally loving reading your writes. Gracias mujer hermosa.

And GOOD MORNING my friend!

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

I know it as " my dogs are tired". DP's lyrics "try walking in my shoes, you'll stumble in my footsteps..."

Jeff Connelly

April 9, 2020 at 7:19 AM

Ah, okay. I just remember the Cockney phrase "my dogs are barking" means "my feet hurt". I know of Depeche Mode, but don't know their music.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart

April 9, 2020 at 7:05 AM

I am so looking forward to barefootedness! You missed nada. I was thinking "walking a mile in another man's shoes" and memory loss while singing Depeche Mode... This for the day my life went wacko contest, hoping to tickle the judge's funny bone.
