Well, David, you certainly stepped outside the box with your entry. It's a wonderful example of multiple personalities wrapped in one body, and at one time or another, I've been all of them. Congratulations on your victory!

You’re so cheap… David. You’re like a human buy one get one free deal. Ain't we all? The trouble with asking yourself questions and then answering yourself… is that sometimes you don’t understand your own answer… or is that just me? Ha ha… Terry

Hey I’m not cheap I just like to throw in a bit extra, so people will come back, lol, this one was never in doubt I had to give the right answers for it to work, but answering your own questions is easy, however! believing them is the difficult part, cheers David

Because David Sir Despise and hate are not on your radar.or part of your internal thought process. And why you stand by all of that which you say. And I and countless others stand with you. And please never change your spots for they are not a lesser part but in fact what set's you apart

Cheer's David Here , Here Here's to being extraordinarily ordinary then

David Kavanagh

Your too kind Christopher, I’m just an ordinary person, who perhaps looks at life in an extraordinary way just like you, and so many poets on the site do, we’re different but the same, cheers David

David, you've written a well-built Monoku, and the reality contained inside it is blatantly honest. These people are concerned about other people's sentiments. Although they are rotten to the core, they attempt to seem paranoid. Happy Holidays my friend.

Thank you Lasaad, I’m trying to highlight the process that happens simultaneously in our minds, as we construct our thoughts, sometimes can be detrimental if not controlled sometimes beautiful if tapped into rationally cheers David

Thank you for these kind words Alexis, the unseen separation of our thought process, can have many contrasting manifestations, cheers David
