Throughout The Ages of Gaia, many changes made,
have intrigued and mystified the sober and staid,
so this will be A Tangled Tale I now weave,
of Sylvie and Bruno who, would you believe,
were Listening to The Music of the Spheres,
when The Canterville Ghost too, so one hears,
was accompanied by The Young King,
just as The English Patient, joined in to sing.
Next The Fisherman and his Soul-ful dirge,
brought The Selfish Giant, to the very verge
of tears! This on a Small Island, where he’d overheard
the God of Small Things, tell a passing bird,
that the Rape of The Fair Country, where
Angel’s Ashes were being strewn, here and there,
had caused The Blood of Flowers to flow.
Surely this will be a heart breaking Tale of woe!

Hi Sylvia and Larry.

Firstly it would seem my server has been giving me a tough time of late, and all my passwords, user names and etcetera's, were thrown to the winds! Catch one if you can and send it back to me, as I'm truly annoyed at their cavalier attitude of late. Bad enough when one's sight is flawed but to find all my long used 'needs' have been whisked away into never, never land, and no indication of why, has been given me, and adds the ultimate frustration, to what is always a tricky time at best!!

Thank you both most sincerely, for your comments, and I note your suggestion Larry. Point taken, although for me, it is both convenient and natural for me to do it in this manner, as it's done that way in the first place, as I use WordPerfect to compose all my poetry, essays and comments before posting to/on my chosen site. It allows me to follow my chain of thought far better. However, I will try (must remember) to 'de-capitalise' before posting in future.

This is due in part to being a creature of habit inasmuch, as I and my classmates, were always taught this way in the grammar school I attended as a lad. My English Teacher was one who would not compromise and had strict rules he enforced - by various means - to ensure we got 'his' message and adhered to same! Lol! Not one to be denied! Hard to break a lifetime's habit Larry, but I'll try! Lol!

I am just a little disappointed that the membership of MM seems to have deserted en masse of late! Admittedly, I have not helped at all, but I doubt everyone has been taken ill? Monitors, moderators and their ilk, are an especial breed, and I admire the work they do - unfortunately, a necessity in this modern age - and I do not envy them their difficult task. With so much of my time taken up with my large - two acre garden - I doubt I would be of much help even if I volunteered and was accepted!

I think all due credit should be given you Sylvia/ Psyche, for despite your own personal limitations - be they your work or personal, to carry out your duties as you do, is time consuming, and certainly calls for a diplomatic approach when dealing with a variety of cultures and educational standards! A trait I know is an essential and one I too had to implement when dealing with the public, as indeed I did for over 30 years! Biting one's tongue at times, can be a painful experience, but most necessary when one prefers a quiet life!

Enough from me this time. We have received an overnight snowfall - 5 plus inches - that requires me to use my shovelling prowess! One strange though it may seem, that I enjoy! It keeps me fit and although a task that takes me some five to six hours to complete, always leaves me with the satisfaction of knowing I can still undertake such work. A very useful aid in my physical recovery process too! (Does nothing for my mental recovery! Lol!) Yes I do have a snow-blower but seldom use it unless we have more than eight inches of snow in one fall!

For this time. My regards and again, thank you both for the trouble you take to read and comment. Ciao for now have a great day. Rhymer aka Denis.
