a destructive force

few songs as much
as "Any Dream Will Do"
and am glad

this so resonant song

the rose coloured glasses
and see this poor
world for what it is?

the beauty of

So sohy if this is a bad day for a nurse then reconsider @) you could be making much more money as a scammer...and b) you won't ever have to put up with annoying invalids etc. and those nurse type things that upset you, like, say, laying out a dead patient for the mortuary, again

Computing Daughter stepped in and f****ed up my computer (obviously this intervention would improve my posts:bang ... just when I wanted to poetically apologise to Sohy for my snarky post re nursing etc. and scammers..
I wish that

that the younger
posters give those
of us who have lived
and learned
a modicum of respect

A lucid dream
is a ray of light
tucked away

Clinging together
gives I suppose
a degree of
solidarity
But it also includes
the mythic principle
that we are
all the same
Fortunately this
has been
shown
over many years

Mostly with the
