I personally would have placed this higher but it wasn't my competition, I didn't enter it and all the entries I've read so far have been very good. Congratulations anyway. Cheers - Gary

Thanks Gary, I appreciate that very much, it’s hard to know sometimes, what exact criteria the judges use, probably all relative to the observer, Some of the other ones where indeed very good, I’m guessing a photo finish in a 5 furlong race, heh heh I’ve lost many of them in my day, cheers David

Thanks Lasaad, things happen day and night indeed, but until we become aware we’re oblivious, or unconscious, which I used as a sleep allusion, more a word play here, but I think a paradox none the less, cheers David

This is just too cute David. Loved it. Gave me a giggle I needed. Still recovering from broken hip and not able to go back to work yet. (sigh) Hope this is a winner for you. God Bless, JB

Ignorance is Bliss Can't cause offence Oblivious Don't take offence Oblivious Unconscious to both Sweet Day Dreaming

Heya Christopher, just a little paradox and word play with some wit, although I suppose it could be taken literally, who knows what goes on when we’re unaware, cheers David
