@TideisTurning @amber22 @FloatingFeather Hello every one. I hope you are all O k.

First, I have to apologize. Big days on farm at the moment, head full of fusarium wilt, tractor bits, then theres always a picking girl with a problem, and If I don't listen, well you can only imagine 9 picking and packing girls united, They run the joint, and I do as I'm told. I admit it,

I'm scared of em. . .

So my response to the homework you gave me was a bit patchy, and I do like a home work assignment.

Never went to school, so these complex questions on my simple mind, I scratched a bald spot on my head, because I can see how smart the company I'm with are, And any more than a few big questions and I get brain lock.

Sooo I thought about, the 2 groups I'm waffling on about, plus the Professor that was on

ABC Q and A last nonday, Added the banking crises and interest rate rises, and

OH NO Another bloody poem

BANKERS BALL.

Forgive my lack of empathy

My white suit wont wear stains

Your bodies all just stepping stones

To board our private planes.

Forgive me for my empty eyes

Neglected graveyards be

My teeth devour your liver

grin my axe into your tree

I paint the dots upon your dice

that never change in flavour

forgive your dead heart in my hand

The odds all in my favour.

I'll crow upon the social heap

and they will gather round.

The silver spoon is mine to keep

you keep your stony ground.

And if upon the dance floor

Shine my shoes if you should fall

And pray your life to deaf ears

That your lot in life's so small

The Fair we hoped upon the worlds

not Ferris wheels and clowns

Can tax accountants change their ways

before the poor man drowns. tonys moon base one.

Thankyou for your including me in your threads. Helps take my mind of endless labour,

and teaches me to think.

@Appleblossom Hi mate. . And @Owlunar , hope my coarse clothes and humour haven't kept you from the circling skies.

@StuF and @LeChuck . Thought of you with this one too Hello to you too. sorry to cover so many folks in one go, but till things settle. stay safe, take care, and thanks for the little missions you give me.

Hey @tonys , sorry to hear the problems you are having on the farm.

I hope being on the forums and connecting with others can help you through this.

Thank you for your creativity, love and care for others on the forums.

We really appreciate you.

Please take care.

I Love It @tonys !!!

Thanks for the tag. Take care out there 🙂

Oh thankyou so much @tyme . Best I say, I have it really good up here, Its just very busy, some days.

I use a bit too much paint when I describe things, because I like to take folks minds elsewhere if I can. If possible give em a grin or make some hair stand up.

Your very kind mate, but even my sad sounding posts, or gripes, not to be taken to seriously.

There is never a day honestly, that I'm not having good laughs at something. Usually me.

But are you well my friend. One thread to the next, dusting, drying an eye or two,

and keeping ahead of my mischief.. . . Give yourself a good dollop of care as well dont

forget. plus waffle cone and sprinkles, tonys m b 1

@tonys

I am so literal ... and you so imaginative. Showing me the value of loosening up language.

Stay Well

Hi @tonys,

Thanks for tagging me! I love your posts and your writing style - you come across as someone that has a quick wit and a great sense of humour which is right up my alley 🙂.

Hope you and your farm are doing great and the week ahead is a good one for you.

Warm wishes,

FloatingFeather

Hi Tony on Moon Base One.

I have been around - I had a very busy couple of weeks - I don't have much coming up - and also - when I write here I use my notifications and tend to work from the top down - sometimes I miss people - I don't mean to.

I do eventually catch up though.

You write very well for a man who never went to school - you really do - I have to have another look at your poem, Actually - I will have to study it - but I'm having another look right now.

Oh yes! I knew there was something I really did like -

Can tax accountants change their ways

before the poor man drowns.

I hate to say it - I do know - most of us are being financially bitten in this time of inflation - but farmers - ah yes - I think more so than many - and the many are most people. I really like that couplet though.

Hey - found some of my old poems and some are funny - I can't write them tonight but I promise to do so in the future. I have seen you around the forum here and there - I think you are pretty popular - we really like your input - and you.

All the best up there on the Moon Base - with those scary girls - wow - can you write a poem about them? - or - was the poem about them?

I'll have to read that again - and again.

Cya Tony

@Appleblossom perfect..... Muddy boots. dripping brolly. sharp tongue cracking, . .

scaring the thunder from the lightning, . . BUT. . . theres ice-cream beneath your. . .

cracked pavlova shell. . . and you say your not a social strutter. Couch fire n fridge over there.

My home . . . your home. . . tonys m b 1

@tonys

Aw Tony - that is so funny - I have just had a really good laugh.

Thanks

Owlunar

@Owlunar hello Owlunar. Well I take my hat of to you, because I know I miss posts, and it

kills me. Like some one waving that needs one back hey, and we never know were the butterfly ripple ends. . . but that is the nature of things in circuit boards.

How is that shoulder going. Bet you forget and bump it again. Well I thought Id badgered you to much for another poem, but no. I love a funny poem, Maybe its just me but part of your last one should have been our national atheneum. Bet I'm not the only one, saw it.

I know you are very busy, and its nice to hear from you. OH, don't go feeling too sorry for us farmers my friend, The media see's to it, that not all is what it seems, We have a lot to answer for, believe me. better leave that and say, only time you worry bout me is when I stop gripping. And get this.. some one stuck a big election sign right out the front of my river flat. near my vegie stand. . . Leave it to imaginations how those raw materials were re employed whilst growling.

Cheese gets put out to attract mice because mice attract , . . . .

take care my friend tonys m b 1
