When you travel and you’re on a plane, Attendants must always explain What to do in a crash But the words they rehash Most on board think are spoken in vain.

Politics in many countries are...

We do a monthly Zoom call, A group of long-time friends, And catch up on our lives before The 80 minutes ends. Since we are of a certain age, Our tech skills lack finesse, So sometimes we appear online With varying success. Today there was a brand-new snag When, in somebody’s box, Her image showed up upside-down, A seeming paradox. The issue never got resolved For the entire...

On vacations you tend to gain weight, Finding luscious, rich foods on your plate. Add to that, extra drinks, Plus desserts and methinks Many people with this can relate.

I really did not know how bad it was Till lockdown came and forced a change of scene. Then aircraft contrails stop scarring the sky And rumbling roar above then went away Along with that rage from the race track road. Less diesel fume and foul soot we inhaled. The feeling of wellbeing had then returned As man’s...
