I need to work at this, although I like to take photographs to capture people. I am thinking I want to do these in black & white.

Friday 08/05/20 We Salute You on V.E. Day

We salute you all,
On V.E. day, we recall,
Your great sacrifice.

And my great uncles,
Lost youths in distant battles
I never met them.

The ones that returned,
Didn’t speak or wouldn’t speak,
Of their time at war.

So we salute you,
All you brave ones everywhere,
Fighting for freedom.

“Well?” Said the doctor,
“What is the matter with you?”
I took a wrong turn!

Where is the toilet?
They said, “Turn left, to the end,
And there, just turn right”.

I passed the cafe,
And again then stopped for tea,
Then I had to pee.

That’s how it started,
I got out whilst I could though,
Back to normal strife.

Writing a book’s hard,
A lot of grind, and focus,
One page at a time.

The train heading out,
Trundles through burbs but who cares?
It is just that train.

Oops, left my notebook,
On my work desk,
what’s it say?
Depends who reads it!

Chocolate retreat,
Pretzels with nice salty tang
I rustle the bag.
